Aunt Florence

1907 - 2009

We bid farewell to our dear Aunt Florence this past week. She was a faith-filled, determined, consistent, considerate, intelligent, talented and over all extraordinary women. I grew up going to her home, writing her letters and chatting on the phone. She was always patience with me and never failed to share with me her Faith in our Savior. She was not LDS, but she was filled with Christ like attributes. I will miss her and look forward to seeing her again.

May Flowers Bring Busy Boys!

Sorry for the long time between posts, but as you already experience....the end of the school year is so busy with everything. Since I shared last, we have enjoyed two birthdays at our home. Dad and Banini #1 are each a year older. The last is now in the double digits, very scary I know.... We are all healthy and happy. The boys are spending as much time outside as possible before the 110's hit. The bikes are out and the speed is on.
Banini #1 had for the Robinson record, perfect attendance at school this year. Way to go!!!!!! His parents, impressed by this because they always missed some school, decided a reward was needed. He choose out a nice, new red bike. Photo's to come.
Banini #3 was a chicken for his school performance. I was asked to make a chicken costume. I did not want to ruin a shirt by adhering feathers to it, so I decided to tie dye the shirt yellow. It turned out really nice. Thanks Misha for dyeing the shirts!

Banini #2 and #3 went to the Library and acquired Library cards....Yeah!!!!!

We have enjoyed the zoo this month. The animals have been out in full force. Even the Lions, Tigers and Cheetahs have cooperated enough for the boys to really see them. We took our hands measurement at the farm and I hope you like how each of us measure up. I think we will return to the hand section on a yearly basis....so I can keep better record of how they grow.

Banini #2 received his Bobcat badge this month!

I have also read many books this month. I finally discovered Shannon Hale and Frank Herbert. Literature. Good Literature....need I say more.

Merry April Days!

We are enjoying the beautiful days of April. The weather is enjoyable, the last until mid October. The children are outside everday, the flowers have and are blooming. The Cacti around us are getting ready to bloom.

We went to the Easter pageant last Thursday. Thanks to many friends who helped make the night a great experience. The boys enjoyed watching the pageant. Even the smaller boys sat fairly quiet and listened to the message. I felt the Spirit, enhanced with gratitude to be surround by my children - watching their hearts be touched as well.

Dad is busy with underwriting conference, so we have not seen him as much as usual. However, he has managed to capture some great photos of the boys. Here is a new favorite. The Wee Banini has finally found his sea legs. He was so excited to "jump" on the trampoline. Oh - The small joys of life.
