SOCCER

    1 Comment

    My soccer days are still going strong. I play most Friday nights and Saturday mornings. The womens league is much better for my self esteem than the coed but we are holding our own in both leagues and I just love playing the game. Here’s a rare goal caught on tape. It definitely wasn’t a super shot but I worked hard leading up to the goal and hey, a goal is a goal 🙂

    In our coed league I have realized that I will never again be considered young and fast, those days are over. The young fast team beat us on Saturday and I got a nice cleat on top of the knee. The picture doesn’t do it justice but I had a good bruise bump and cleat line.

    Last night we took the family to Classic Skating. It was fun but packed. Most of the night consisted of Ben helping Benji on his scooter and me pushing Cali in the stroller while holding Packer. The rest of the night was on the sidelines resting and playing video games. No pictures taken.

    And today is my maternal Grand Mothers Birthday! Happy Birthday Grandma Johnson. I hope you enjoy your trip to Alaska at the end of the month.

    Monte L. Bean Museum

    1 Comment

    We went to the BYU Bean Museum today  with my sister in law and her kids.  It was pretty crowded by the end (maybe no one had school :))but my kids had fun identifying the different animals. As I expected Benji was the first one that was ‘tired’ and ready to go, Packer wanted to be held the whole time and Cali was not happy to be in her stroller. I guess that is why we don’t go everyday but for today it was good.

    Their favorite part of course was the air vent that was outside th museum blowing hot air up at them…

    GT Racing and Valentine Making

    No Comments

    Today Benji woke up begging to make his Valentines so… WE DID.

    and Packer is loving his Valentine guy that he made at Play Group Yesterday – His older brother is a little jealous so that helps.

    And Uncle Joel came over this afternoon so we busted out a little racing…

    Ben 10 Total Transformation

    We just got done playing the Ben 10 Game. Benji is very good at making the rules work to his advantage. Packer doesn’t care (yet).

    The boys just went to play with their cousins and Cali is down for a nap. I guess I have no excuse not to work out. Tread mill and Biggest Loser here I come.

    Happy Birthday Ryan

    No Comments

    Today is my brother Ryan’s birthday. He is three and a half years older than me which means that when I started high school he was a big Senior. So my friends and I would try and do whatever he thought was cool. I’m glad those days are over! But We made our yearly trip to Eden for his birthday. We had a great time, the Salsa was delicious and I’m sure anyone that knows Ryan can guess what we did….

    Joel signing the box. He had the winning-est night.


    Cali screamed and whined the entire time – blahh… hoping this stage ends soon.

    Packer Telling Funny Jokes

    4 Comments

    Why did the elephant go on the roof?
    Cause he wanted to eat a strawberry! haha

    Why did the Lion go in the hole?
    Cause he wanted to take a bath! haha

    Why did the Koala Bear go on the Spaceship?
    Cause he wanted a cookie! haha


    I love it. He makes sure and waits for me to laugh after each one. If I don’t laugh he asks, “was that a funny one mom?”. It’s fun for me to hear what words and things are going on in his little mind.

    Who knew?

    Who knew that cereal could make your kids so happy in the morning. I offered Marshmallow Mateys this morning and the boys went crazy. They were so excited! It was really fun. These were their favorite and then I stopped buying them because they are obviously not the healthiest choice and they were over priced. Anyway, We grabbed a bag at the store yesterday and everyone had a ‘wonderful’ breakfast this morning and have been in great moods! Who knew?

    Pajama Day

    2 Comments

    We are all in our pajamas still! Yes it is 3pm. We have thought about getting dressed but it just hasn’t happened yet. I won’t lie – the TV has been on most of the day. We’ve snacked and played and been lazy. I have a soccer game at 6pm so I will need to get everyone dressed and out of the house before then.

    This is one reason being a Mom is the best job – No way Ben could go to work in his PJ’s.

    Our life right now is full of Cali fits. She has discovered that crying can get her what she wants and she turns it on a lot. She is very moody and wants everything to go her way.  She takes it upon herself to go out of the way to get whatever Packer has so I am trying to not give in to these fits. Which means lots of tears. (And she’s  a little sick with a constantly runny nose.)

    This guy could happily play with his toys all day as long as he gets a treat and a sippy once in a while and his little sister leaves him alone!

    Shout Out to Elder Brady Robertson

    2 Comments

    My little brother Brady is coming home from his mission in 2 and 1/2 weeks. He has been an excellent missionary. I love reading his weekly emails. He has had great success in North Carolina. The best thing about him is that he is just being himself and using very crazy ways to get peoples attention and get a chance to meet them and teach them. I wish I could have been as good of a missionary as he is being.  We are excited for him to meet Cali and excited for him to be with us again. He brings a lot of fun wherever he goes. Brady if you read this in a few weeks we are counting on you making a road trip to see us.

    Saying Goodbye at the MTC in February of 2008

    On the Mission – Coming Home on Feb 10, 2010!

    Luckily I have another little brother – that decided he could cut his hair and be a missionary too

    Elder Sean Robertson July 22, 2009

    All 7 of my brothers chose to serve missions. They each have been great examples to me as I have watched them leave and come back and grow up and change and gain testimonies. I have watched my mom send each of them off and that is a testimony in itself. They served in Canada, Spain, 2 in the Philippines, Alaska, North Carolina and Texas. I am grateful for the message of the restored gospel. I know that it is true. I know that it is a message for all of the world.

    Catch Up

    Saturday January 9, 2010: We went to the “Reel Big Fish” concert in SLC. Than and Erica came with us. It was a fun night out, reminiscent of our college days. We were definitely a bit out of place and I wouldn’t go to the same concert again but we had a good time.

    Friday January 15, 2010: Ben left with the Scouts for the Klondike Snow camp out. So it was just me and the kids and 13 cousins came over for cousins night and LaNell and her cousin Katie came over to keep me company and help with the 3 one year olds and 3 two year olds. So we had a busy night and Ben had a warm night under the stars in his “burrito”.

    Sunday January 17, 2010: We got to church and realized that Packer’s eyes were looking red. I brought him and Cali home as he tried to convince me that “I not have pink eye.” We made cookies and Packer decided that he loved his church vest and didn’t take it off until bedtime. I forced myself to read the lessons for Sunday School and R.S. before watching the NFL Playoff games – I know that shouldn’t be a tough choice and I’d be even better not to watch them at all on Sunday but…

    Tuesday January 19, 2010: I woke up and went straight to the Dr’s office – I had these same symptoms last year and new that I had a “severe case of Strep”. I spent the entire day in bed. Every part of my body was achy and tired. I couldn’t even hold the kids. Super Man (that’s Ben) stayed home and took care of everything. He worked from home and took care of the kids. The kids were little angels for him, and cried and whined every time they saw me – why? why do kids do that?

    That’s our update. Today was a lazy, get my strength back, day (and fold the mound of laundry). I love days like this when I’m not trying to get anything done and can just enjoy the kids. Benji and Packer are the best of friends now. I just realized that they really play well together. Benji doesn’t beg to play with friends everyday because he can get Packer to be a super hero or Ben 10 or whatever he wants. And Cali is SO CUTE. She loves to be doing what the brothers are doing.
