Congrats Robbie!!! We love you!

Robbie's school picture

Robbie's school does a stop light system where if you have good behavior you would stay on green light. Yellow light for something slightly bad and red light if you were really bad. If you were on red light a note got pinned on your shirt for your parents to receive when they picked you up. Robbie reassured us every day that he was yet again on green light and that he is always good. Well, a few days ago, I went to pick him up from school. I see him coming around the corner with a note pinned onto his shirt. My heart dropped. He got to me and with a big smile on his face said, "don't worry mom. My teacher said I was not on red light. I was really good today. This is just a note for my family." I took it off and this is what it was:


I was so proud of him that I almost started to cry! He wanted to know what the note said but it was a surprise, so I couldnt tell him! We went to the assembly today and he was very excited to get his award! Rob was able to go for the assembly, also. He didn't know that we were there and didnt see us until he was on the stage. He was very excited to see us there! What a wonderful boy! We love you Robbie! (I couldn't get my scanner to work so I just had to take pictures of the everything!)

Halloween Time

I love this time of year! I love decorating my house in fall colors with leaves and pumpkins and witches....I love spending time with my family...I love the cooler weather....I love the baking and eating pumpkin breads and pumpkin cookies....and so much more. I love fall! This weekend we had the start of our halloween time parties. On friday we had our ward Trunk or Treat and on Saturday we had Robbie's school carnival. Although, I didnt take any pictures at either, we had a lot of fun! These are before pictures from Friday night. I didn't dress up this year. Somehow, after bathing and getting three kids dressed I just didnt have any energy left! :) As always, Lauren wanted me to take 5 billion model shots of her and Robbie was sick of it by picture three. Here they are! Lauren the pink fairy princess, Robbie as anakin and our cute little pumpkin. Happy Halloween!!

Like Father Like Son

I love life!

Babies are so wonderful.  I love my little Benjamin.  I love snuggling him and holding him and being around him.  He is the sweetest little baby....especially when he is asleep!  (He's a bit of a crier)  Robbie and Lauren have responded wonderfully to having another baby around.  Many times we have caught Robbie sitting by Benjamin's bassinet or swing and just watching him with a big smile on his face.  He is always telling us how much he loves Benjamin.  And I must say...as for the first week, being a mother of three is EASY.  Everyone told me how hard it was...but its really not hard at all.  My mom took care of Robbie and Lauren...fed them and got them to school.  Rob took care of cooking for me and he changed pretty much all of the diapers.... me....?  I snuggled Benjamin and took lots of naps.  How hard is that?  :)  I guess we'll see how it is when i'm home alone with the three kids.  Eeek!  :)

Well, I guess I should get to the part that everyone looks forward to.  Pictures!  We have plenty of them.  I'll try not to go too picture crazy, but i'm sure no one would complain if I did.  Here is my sweet Benjamin.

I'm in LOVE!!

Just so you all know, we have a special and fabulously wonderful addition to our family this week. I went into labor September 30th and we had Benjamin Joseph Au via C-section at 8:36 that night. We got home from the hospital yesterday. I will post more, including pictures hopefully soon. Rob has already posted some on his blog if you want to see him. He is a cutie!
