So Grateful for Family

We're always glad when the Robinsons come up to visit.  Gail and Claire spent the morning with us at Whitney's shower.  We then gathered all the guys and met them at Juniper Take-Out for lunch...we even convinced Bailey and his roommate, Morgan, to join us.  We always have such a great time together.  We LOVE our family!

Quick Get-Away

So glad that Brent, Whitney and Jeff could join me as I had to travel to St. George for a conference for school.  We left on Wednesday and were back by Friday night, but it was sure nice.  While I was in class, they took a quick tour through Zion and Snow Canyons.  They also spent a little bit of time with Kimber in Cedar City.  We did a little shopping and enjoyed supper out together.  The weather was nice and warm!  Can't wait for spring!

Showering the Bride-to-Be

Jeff's mom and sisters hosted a nice shower for Whitney this morning.  The theme of the shower was "My Favorite Things."  We're sure blessed to have wonderfully supportive families, aunts and grandmas!  Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. We LOVED the hot cocoa and yummy cinnamon rolls! It was great to meet Jeff's family and get to know them a little better.  Whitney's marrying into a fun bunch of ladies!

Sister Hess!

We are so excited...the first sister missionary from "the cousins."  Kimber opened her mission call last night and we were all very happy to hear that she's been called to serve in Peru.  Her brother, Tyler, also served in Peru.  There's such a wonderful spirit that is in our family when one of the kids is out serving a full time mission.  I have no doubt that Kimber will be an amazing missionary.  She's a wonderful person and will do a marvelous work!  Who knew that when Pres. Monson announced that the sister missionaries could enter the field at 19, that Kimber would immediately get to work on her papers?  She'll leave in June and is truly going to be one of the best!
