Open for Business!

The $30 pool from Fred’s is officially up on the Robinson’s back patio and open for business!!  Any given Saturday or Sunday afternoon you’ll find it full (LITERALLY) of children!  And if I can get all of the children and grass out of it, you just might happen to find me on a float with a good book in the kiddie pool!  If you don’t have one, you should get one now!!  Best investment EVER!!  We love summertime at our house!!

Daddy's Little Helpers!

Yesterday, Dustin was working on the four wheeler and both of the kiddos had to help him with his project!!

Sweet Kaleigh, is very interested!

No worries, the knock on Dustin's head is from a shaving incident, not from the 4 wheeler work!

Alec being a great flashlight holder!

Work's done!  Time to play!

Even sis got to try her hand at golf!  She wasn't impressed!

Dad and Alec giving Sister a hand up the hill!

Yummy!

Sister is one spaghetti loving little girl!!

Gotta have a cookie for dessert!

From a "brother blog" when he was about 18 months old!

This girl LOVES to catch a ride on Brother's Harley Davidson too!

Watch out!! Here I come!!

Boatin' Baby!

Dustin had Drill last weekend in Grenada so the kids and I headed down to Bay St. Louis for the weekend.  It was pretty weather and warm, so Kaleigh got to do some of her first real boating! She LOVED it!!  When Alec was little, he fell asleep, INSTANTLY, everytime we got in the boat.  Not this girl, she was checking out everything!!  She's gonna be our little boater girl for sure!!

Alec and Papa caught a TINY sheephead!  Later, Papa caught a large spec and while I was helping to net him, something HUGE got on my line and yanked my whole fishing rod out of the boat!  Wish I could have caught that one!  Sorry Papa!  Thankfully Papa was a good sport about loosing his fishing rod and Alec is still asking questions about where the fish took my rod..

Alec LOVES everything about the boat, fishing, etc!!

Our "monkey" girl!

A couple of large geese even made a visit to the camp!

Kaleigh's life jacket doesn't make for a happy camper!  She can't move when she's got it on!

They love to play on the stairs!

She's such a happy girl and LOVES the outdoors!

Eleven Months!

I say this every month, but I cannot believe Kaleigh Marie is already 11 months old!  She gets more and more fun every month!  She's slowly learning to walk and can take 10 or 12 SLOW steps before she determines that it's much faster to crawl!  I'm sure that won't last long!  She's determined to chase Alec around and will be able to catch him really soon!  She weighs 19 lbs and has 5 teeth already and more coming SOON!  Her personality is coming out more and more, and she just might have more of a stubborn personality than Alec does.  Lately she's become interested in climbing the stairs in our living room, something Alec never got in trouble with.  I'll take her off of the stairs and give her something to play with.  Everytime she'll go right back to climbing the stairs.  After about the 3rd time I take her off of them, she screams and me and pushes away!! Oh lordy, we're gonna have to reign in her temper quickly!  She loves to eat, and will eat anything you put on her plate!  She often eats more than Alec does at supper and loves to feed herself!  I've just started mixing a little whole milk in her bottles, so soon we'll be done with formula! YAY!!  She can wave bye-bye, blow kisses and play peek a boo.  She gets very excited and quickly gets to mom if Alec or Dad say "I'm gonna get you." She thinks it's such a fun game!  She still doesn't say much more than Mama or DaDa, but babbles much more than Alec did.  Alec went from silence to words, no baby babbling for him!  Kaleigh is our super fun, little princess and we all love her so much!!
