The cemetery


Ggma was very good at interacting with the little kids.  Ada learned lots of games and funny stories from her.

Bruce, Glenene, Richard, Jim, Judy, Sonny, Anne, Alan, Rachelle


Anne, Sonny, Sharon

Mike & Julie's family, Richard & Glenene, Danny &Julie?'s family,

The lady I gave my camera to didn't know how to rotate the lens to fit everyone in the photo.... so we've got two...


These were the Grandchildren that were able to be there.  I think there are 38 Grands.


These were some of the Great-grandchildren that came.  There are 106 and 5 on the way.

Jer's sisters, plus Margaret


Jer's brothers

I loved this.  These guys were trying to get as many people into the selfie as possible.  I loved watching them. 

Ellie

Ada

Evelyn

Sam.  The greatgrands were told that they were allowed to take one flower from the flower arrangements.  Sam picked a blue one because that's Ggma's favorite color and instead of keeping it he put it on Ggma's coffin.

Family prayer

There were many pictures that were taken of the siblings saying goodbye to their mom.  I can't lay claim to those, but I did get a couple pictures. 





Siblings

I love this man.  He has such a big heart and a desire to always doing the best he can at whatever he's doing.  He loves all his siblings and revels in the time that they get together.










Great Grandma Jane's funeral

Our Ggma died a few weeks ago.  I want to do another post about that later, but here are some of the pictures from the family getting together for the funeral.  We were lucky.  We got to host Jer's brother, John, and his daughter, Ruth.

We got to celebrate this sweet Lizzie girl's 19th birthday.  My niece loves musicals, works hard and has a plan for her life.

Practicing for the family choir.  I actually really loved the song.  They sang "Oh, What Songs of the Heart". I'd never really paid attention to the words, but they were just perfect.

Eating at Chili's after a temple trip and before Judy went to help dress Grandma.  Judy has just amazed me daily for the love and kindness she's shown for her in-laws.  Every thing that she's done has been Christ like and loving.

Family sushi night.

Buddies since birth

Games are a big part of any Robertson family gathering.  Any time there's a game there will also be Jeremy, Jacob, Joseph, Robert, (Joseph T. for that matter) Aubrey, John and usually Jim too.

These three

I was trying to get these three to pose for 1 picture.  This is what I got and I thought it was pretty funny.

Seth, cousin Samuel and Evelyn





Spring Soccer

Soccer has started again.  The kids love it, and I mostly love it.  I love that it keeps my kids running and smiling, I hate how much time it takes and that the first half of the season is so cold! Their first games were on Saturday, the same day that we were scheduled to move Cung and Pau... so we went to Sam's game at 8:30, Ada's game 11:30, moved Cung and Pau, Evelyn's game at 2:30.  Luckily it only rained a little until after the move, but it poured during Evelyn's game.  She thought she was the luckiest thing alive to get to play soccer in the rain and the rest of us sat huddled under our only working umbrella with a soggy blanket around us.




Look at that happy face in the rain!


Ada's favorite position is goalie.  She's really pretty good at it too.  She's not afraid of diving for the ball and getting rough.

This girl had acrobatics right before practice.... why not dress for both?

Rare occurance

It's not very often that me, my mom and my sisters all get together for lunch.  We went to Molly's and it was  so fun just to spend some time with them. I'm so lucky that even though we've had our differences, we still love each other.



This last Saturday was a baby shower for my cousin Garrett's baby.  I love how much this girl loves her birthday twin.

Rhees Family

This is such a fun family.  They're sweet and playful.  It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain!  It was...
