Just a few things...

So... I haven't posted anything for a bit. Nothing really new in my own life... Lets see, where to start...

June we had the "Robinson" family reunion in Manila. That is my Dad's-Mom's- family... her maiden name is Robinson. It was nice to see everyone. There were quite a bit of people that I haven't seen for many years, and it is just crazy to see how much people change :] We ate yummy food. Played "Cash Cab"<-- Yes we actually got real money for correct answers. So, yeah, I didn't get too many right, but I got 5 right, so 5 dollars. Not too bad considering the whole family was playing at the same time and whoever raised their hand first got called on... My Uncle Aurthur and Geoff were the Judges for "Cash Cab"

Declan being very entertaining while we eat... as usual :]

Then, after the reunion me and my siblings and spouses went camping. It was so FUN! We had two tents that we set up and had a fire. We went to Sheep Creek. Ate yummy S'MORES and snacks. We talked for and stayed up for a bit, laughed a lot... it was just fun. We took a lot of funny pictures... but Chase has most of the good ones that I'll have to get from him soon. They're kind of silly, but I guess you had to be there...But Chase's birthday was June 29th and he turned 28!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! LOVE YOU!

My amazing Brother... big 28!!

Then on July 1st it was my 25th birthday! Pretty weird... Time flies :] haha... Bonnie-Bec- Rachel and Declan all took me to eat at Wingers (the day before my birthday) and then we watch 'The Proposal'!! I highly recommend that!! It is HILARIOUS!! I laughed so hard. It's definitely one that I will buy when it comes out... Then on my birthday Kris took me to eat at "Coyote Creek" and then "Cold Stone" for ice cream... THANK YOU EVERYONE!! IT WAS GREAT!!

Me on July 1st... the big 2-5...
'IT'S A GOOD ONE...'

July 3rd... We celebrated JULY 4th... the MULLINS'S way :] This video speaks for itself... pretty entertaining!! My hubby... hahaha

Then I went out to Manila for another family reunion. The COOK's... this is my Husband's-Mom's-Mom's family. It was pretty fun... had a few giggles. The food wasn't too great! haha... just ask Becky or Bonnie. We snuck away and went to my cousin's 'HOT DOG' stand. It was pretty good too!! Saved our lives!! Also at the reunion, they made two really big cakes for Grandma Cook. She is turning 90 in September. She is such a sweet Grandma. I really enjoy her, and appreciate the love and warm welcoming she has always giving me. Declan, Me, and Great-Grandma Cook...at the reunion

Then it was Jon's birthday on July 15th. He turned 28. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We all went to Flaming Gorge Lodge and ate delicious food. Can never go wrong with anything there. I love it!

Jon and his ARMY cake...

Kris and I at the Lodge... this would have been somewhat 'cute' if Kris didn't pull his 'lazy-eye' face!! :] haha


On July 23rd it was my Mother-in-law's Birthday. She turned 47. *hope she doesn't mind me writing that* :] haha... We had a BBQ at my home since I had to work. It was yummy and a lot of fun to have everyone there...She's wonderful! Helps out tremendously in every way at anytime. LOVE YOU! Then it was also my new Sister-in-law's birthday on the 23rd as well!! Pretty easy to remember that right. She turned 23!! She has brought Chase such happiness as well as the entire family :] LOVE YOU!!

Beautiful Brooke the big 23!!

Then finally... I have THREE announcements...

1: At the family reunion I received the news that Chase and Brooke are going to have a baby the first week in February. It was WONDERFUL beyond words!!! I teared up a bit and held out a burst of sobs. I just new this would happen for them. They'll be wonderful parents in deed!! CONGRATS!!!

2: Then Sam and Laura soon announced, my husband's-brother and wife, that she is having a baby!! Due late February...This is their THIRD!! Pretty stinkin' excited for them. CONGRATS!!!

3: ...last announcement came on July 23rd. Rachel, my husband's-sister, is PREGNANT TOO!! She goes to the doctor this Friday to find out the due date for sure, but it's near the middle of MARCH!! This is Rachel and Jon's first. Couldn't be more happy for them!!

... I just can't wait to have all these babies around!! I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THEM AND SEE THEIR PRECIOUS FACES... THREE PREGNANT LADIES RIGHT NOW IN MY FAMILY!! How great is that?? Definitely will be so nice to have more little kiddo's running around :] I love them all... I hope they will all take care of themselves, as well as their husband take care of them. It's quite a journey and I know Heavenly Father truly has them in mind and has given them a blessing so wonderful!! To be a parent is such a privilege... and I am truly grateful that all these sister's/brother's of mine have been blessed to do so...

~Longer than I expected, but thanks for tuning in :}
