Love These Two!

We have been so blessed to have Whitney and Jessica in our lives!  We always have such a great time together and love being with each other.  We spent the day at the new City Creek Center in Salt Lake today.  Fabulous shopping in a beautiful setting, for sure!  I do believe it will become one of our favorite places to shop in the years to come.  Spending time with these two is the best...we sure do love them!

Soccer Weather

We made plans to take Jessica and Whitney down to watch David play soccer.  Everyone picked me up after work and we headed down to Herriman.  David plays on the high school team.  Herriman's a beautiful new high school with an amazing field...turf!  Although Dave's team didn't have their best game, it was fun to watch him play.  It was FREEZING cold, but Porter was a good sport through the game.  After the game, we all went over to Matt and Gail's for some yummy sweet pork burritos. It's always lots of fun to spend time with the Robinsons.  I've got a wonderful sister...just saying!

Lovin' the Missionary Life!

Oh...do we ever love Mondays!  And, no, it's not because we get to go back to work after a great weekend...it's because it's the day we get emails from Bailey!  The power and internet access in Africa haven't always been the most reliable, so whenever we get pictures of Elder Shaffer, we're pretty excited.  Here are a couple that came today!

Spoiled...but Definitely Not Rotten

We had to run some errands in Logan today.  Brent thought that Porter needed a cool walker, so we looked at a few different ones at Wal-mart.  You know, I think he chose the perfect one!  Who doesn't love Lightning McQueen and Mater?  Porter can't reach the floor yet, but loved hanging out and "driving" his walker.

SURPRISE!

Brent is ALWAYS able to guess what's inside of a gift...no matter how well it's disguised.  Surprise him?  Never!  BUT WE DID!  It took lots of sneaking around (and a few "little" lies), but we pulled it off.  Since Brent turned 50 on his birthday, we decided that we needed to throw him a little surprise birthday party.  We're not sure if the party was a surprise, but flying Jessica and Porter home for the party definitely was!  You know, there are some moments in your life that you'll never forget, and this is one of them!  Reuniting...it's simply the best!

I met the girls and Little Porter for lunch in Logan...hadn't seen this little guy (and his mom) since Christmas...gotta admit...he's so dang cute!

 Whitney (with a little help from Jessica) made this appetizing (?) cake for the party!

The girls came over and we spent the afternoon getting ready for the party. (Definitely half the fun!)  

I wish I would've left the lights on for these photos!  Everyone hid in our family room and you can see Brent come around the corner.  It was just perfect when he spotted little Porter and Jessica!

I think we could safely say that it truly was a surprise...finally!  (Now...to do a little repenting for all of that lying I've been doing!)
