First Day of School

Monday was the first day of school. Because my sister, Crystal, has been staying with us her daughter, Genea, got to be able to go to school with Landon this year. Normally I take my kids to school on their first day, but both Landon and Genea were WAY too excited to ride the bus to want me to take them. So, instead I waited with them at the bus stop. :0) Landon, being the almost 10-year old boy that he is, decided that the studly outfit I had picked out for him for the first day of school was not the right choice. He did wear the shirt I wanted him to wear....but he covered it up with his BSU hoodie. The brand new stylin' jeans I wanted him to wear....got shoved aside for some old worn out shorts. His reply when I asked him why he wasn't wearing his jeans?......
"WHAT? I like these shorts."
Yeah....good times.

Here is Landon, our next door neighbor Noah, Genea, and a new friend that just so happens to be in Genea's class. They all wait together at the bus stop and it has worked out so well.

The boys were super excited to see that their favorite bus driver, Shane, was their driver again this year. Apparently Shane is the nicest bus driver out of all them. That's what the boys say anyway....

The report at the end of the first day was a good one. Genea made friends in her new class at school and LOVES her teacher. Landon's friend, Hatim, apparently came home early from Africa and so he was able to be at school on the first day. Hatim and Landon get to be in the same class this year.

I guess this means so far so good. Of course we haven't even gotten through week 1...

Getting Our Sassy On!

Yesterday was going to be a day full of Robinson family fun as my brother's family and my sister's family were in town. I went out in the morning before the fun began because I had promised my neices that we could do make-overs. So, I showed up with nail polish, curling iron and make-up bag in hand and got down to business. We were going bowling and we needed to make sure we were the cutest bowlers there!

We started out with the polish and Greta, Genea, Alina, Mackenzee, and even Riley ended up with colorful nails.

Next it was important that their lips were sparkly and their cheeks were rosy. When I was done with their make-up Genea and Greta were sure that they needed to put make-up on me, so I let them doll me up too. Amazingly, I did not end up looking like a hooker. :0) They did a super good job don't you think?Since we had just enough time to get their hair done, I hurried and gave each girl the same sassy hairdo. This is one of Kenzee's signature looks. :0) All four girls even let me curl their hair...and let me tell you....they were four of the prettiest princesses I have ever seen!

Shakin' the booty

Last night was my neice, Genea's, dance recital at CSI. She has been taking dance from Miss Cassia at Julie's Jazzworks for over a year now and loves it. She danced to two different songs and in one of them used an umbrella as the theme this year for the dance studio was "props".


She did such a good job too. And was so sassy shaking her booty on the stage. ;0) Watching those little girls in the younger class though, made me so excited to be able to put Mackenzee into dance next fall. Which sounds so strange to me that Mackenzee will be three next year and old enough to do it. But, she does turn two in only four short months. It makes me sad, but excited for things to come. You know? Watching the kids grow has been fun, and such a learning experience. ;0) What would we do without our kids?

Anyway...good job Genea! You rocked the stage and looked adorable doing so. You must have my genes. ;0)
