Kid Sister

Who needs a baby doll when you have a little sister that still fits in the doll stroller?

It has been a while since the older kiddos have used Julianne as their baby doll (remember this and this?)  For some reason, they decided to put her in the doll stroller today.  There were plenty of giggles from everyone!

Until next time...

Builders

While recently cleaning Dallas and Reba's room, I pulled out the crate with the big lego blocks in it.  I thought Julianne would enjoy them.  Not only does she enjoy them, but Dallas and Reba are loving them again!

P.S. Check out Sugar's pigtails...

Until next time...

More videos starring Julianne

I thought I would share a few new videos of Sugar.  

She, like her siblings, loves the water.  Until the weather warms up and we can get the pool up, she'll have to get her fix with bath time.

Julianne loves peek-a-boo, and I think this was the ultimate game for her!

Until next time...

Kentucky State Fair 2014

On Friday afternoon, we packed the van, picked Dallas up from school, and made the trip to Louisville for the Kentucky State Fair!  The older kiddos were *almost* more excited about staying in a hotel with a swimming pool, than going to show the sheep; therefore, I dropped them and Daddy off at the hotel and took Julianne to the fair to help Aunt Lisa finish trimming the sheep.

Julianne occupied herself while Aunt Lisa, Pa-paw and I worked

The Dorset show started Saturday morning at 8 a.m.  The great thing about a state level show is there are more classes (fall lambs, winter lambs, spring lambs, etc); therefore, we didn't have to show in the same class with Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa - except for the pairs class.

Little Miss dressed and ready!

How many orange shirts does it take to show a ram?

Dallas pocketing the red ribbon (they are his favorite)

With Buster placing second in his class, he had to go back for the Senior Champion drive...we almost forget two sets of hands!

Our yearling ewes

It was a large class and someone got tired...

Dallas decided he wanted to be on the head while showing Sparkler

Little Miss was winking at the judge!

Sparkler was being a little onery, so Dallas knocked her on the head...wonder where he has seen that?

Our pair of ewe lambs - Sparkler and Rachael

Mountain Man Farms - flock class

After the show, someone crashed

While another one played

Sunday was a very relaxed day at the fair, so the kiddos were able to have some fun playing with the trim stand

Fun Friday Fotos - Playing Baby Dolls

Dallas and Reba were cleaning and organizing their bedroom when they decided to bring out the doll crib and play with Julianne...

Robertson Christmas

Yesterday, we packed up the van early in the morning and started our trip to Aunt Katie's house!  Thankfully, the kiddos all did great on the trip - good thinking on the DVD players, Santa!

GG's first time meeting Julianne

This morning, Daddy was playing airplane with the older kiddos.  After breakfast while everyone was finishing getting ready, they wanted to fly again, so Pa-paw volunteered to take them up.

Finally, it was time to start opening presents, but first...yep, Momma had to get a picture!

I was able to take more pictures today because Ma-maw "volunteered" to hold Julianne.  Good thing Dallas and Reba were very willing to help others open their presents!

Have you seen this commercial?
Aunt Katie introduced Doug to it at Thanksgiving, and he, of course, loved it!  Therefore, Kate and Brian thought Doug needed this shirt...

Us girls went together and got this family birthday and anniversary wall hanging for Granny.  Each round "charm" contains a family members name and date of birth and hangs from the respective month.  The heart-shaped "charms" have anniversary dates.

Aunt Katie decided to read some stories to Little Julianne

Meanwhile, Pa-paw and Reba worked on a puzzle together!

Fun Friday Fotos

Last weekend, the kiddos and I were able to spend the afternoon with some of our out-of-state family!  One of my cousins, Paul, and his family were visiting from South Dakota.  The last time we were able to visit was almost three years ago at the last Labor Day Weekend Gathering Doug and I hosted in Williamsburg.

Thankfully, the rain cleared and all the little ones were able to get out of the house and play!

They started with races out to the trees and back

Jerry (in the blue polo) was giving the instructions on where to run

Grace (on the left) and Reba were chasing each other around the tree

I think Dallas and Reba turned a little early to be in the lead on the way back :)

After the foot races, we got out some frisbees.

As I was getting ready to head home, I realized we didn't sit the little ones down to try and get a nice picture.  We decided to skip the idea at that point because my two were cranky about having to leave, another was getting ready for bed, and two were asleep.  All in all, it was a great visit - and hopefully, it won't be so long until the next time we get to see you again.

Until next time...
