Summer filled with reunions



FAMILY-FAMILY-FAMILY-FAMILY-FAMILY-FAMILY-FAMILY





I am an ANDERSON, was a FORD, ROBISON, PAYNE, PYNE...





this weekend we celebrated all the good things about being a Robison...





among them are: bread and gravy, singing, baseball, laughter, talking together, playing together, sleeping out, sleeping in, eating (FUDGE), cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma's and grandpa's (and the memories of them...) constantly going, doing, helping, making, wondering, worrying, praying, serving, loving!!!!!
Mom and Sadie




Grandma's name is Trieste, Grandpa is Eldon, they are no longer with us physically but there are countless times that they have been with us spiritually. There is a little peice of them in all of us... like: most of us have someone who cocks their eye like Grandpa when he smiled. most of us can find humor in most every situation and like Grandma can laugh even at ourselves sometimes, most of us love FUDGE, most of us have the Robison love of baseball. Some have physical characteristics that are so much like another that it's hard not to remember ones past on.





We met at Lava Hot Springs in Idaho and had a fun swimming day... all day... then went to the "Lodge" and played there for the rest of the few days we spent together.





It wasn't enough for me. I could have stayed longer in such great company. I love you all! Thanks for putting up with my craziness.... (I was so busy being crazy and having fun that I didn't take one single picture SHAME ON ME).. but like Sadie says, "it's all part of the memory"

A Special Day

We spent the most perfect day in Manti Utah at my Neices wedding. The weather was beautiful but the part I loved the most was spending time with family. The whole 2 days was awesome, I love occasions like weddings that bring family together in a unique way, where everyone feels the "love." This is the temple Jake and I were married in...the most beautiful place on earth... (and in my opinion half way in heaven)

I was taking pictures as fast as I could in hopes to capture the sweet moment. Andy asked for the camera and said "your turn" and took this lovely picture of Mom.

looks almost like a proposal...

this wasn't a planned set up, but I love the way this picture turned out. Dad and daughter and "my boys"... so glad this group of mine can be together forever!
The wedding was so nice, I'm so happy for Misty and Jason... thanks for letting us be a part of your special day! It meant the world to us.
