Robinson Christmas Pictures

Austin's Zone
Bennett's new pet "BLUE"

Quincy's Christmas Dress


Just Us!



We took the opportunity to go see the lights and sights in down town Ogden and I'm embarrassed to say this is the first time (but not the last). The temps were in the single digits but we enjoyed every minute we spent there!

Updates from our Elders

This has been one of those unforgettable weeks that we never want to repeat. Bennett took a major spill on his bike and got a slight concussion. We feel blessed that he is doing well and is on his way back to work. This is his face the day after the crash. Kind of puffy!

Look at that handsome young man! Austins e-mail on Monday told us of the sad news that his companion, Elder Christensen, lost his father on Friday. They don't know the cause yet but Elder Christensen is planning on staying in Florida. Hopefully Austin and all those that surround him will know what to do and say to help him get through this tough time. All prayers are welcome!!!!!

Another Baby tooth GONE!

Quincy pulled her second tooth out yesterday - again - all by herself! No tears, just blood. She was so proud. This time she hid her tooth so the tooth fairy wouldn't take it with her. Quincy wants to collect them. Connor suggested that she make a necklace out of them!

A few new pics from our Elders

Austin sitting at a booth put together by the Elders at a Flea Market - They talked to over 300 people there!
Bennett with President Schumers - President Schumers has a son who lives in Fort Lauderdale so when he and his wife went down to welcome a new grand baby into the family he looked up Bennett and went to visit him. How touching for us to have this man who doesn't even know us take the time to search out our missionary and go visit him! He also sent us this picture and a heart warming note! Very Sweet!

She lost her 1st Tooth


Last night Quincy finally got brave and yanked her own tooth out. She was so excited. It has been dangling by a thread for weeks but she wouldn't let anyone touch it. She ran down the stairs to show Connor and Parker and dropped the tooth on the stairs. It was never to be seen again. She was so worried until I told her that when Austin lost his first tooth he dropped it down the vent at school and the tooth fairy found him anyway. Happy Girl again! The tooth fairy did come and brought her a dollar! What fun it is to have a little one and watch her excitement over these tiny things!

Buy a Pumpkin and get a Wagon Ride!

Our Pumpkin Patch was on the tiny side this year so we went to our local fruit stand to find a few pumpkins to carve. We found some good ones and got to go on a wagon ride too! Look at these big beautiful Percheron work horses. They are amazing. Quincy got to sit up on the buck board for a front row view, LUCKY!
Happy pumpkin pickin' to all of you!!
