Ok so, I have to be honest... when I don't have any really interesting stories or specific big events to share, I kinda just throw everything from the past little while into my blog posts. And thats fine with me. But, it just kinda turns into my journal. So, bear with me. If you love me enough to find interest in my day to day life, then... enjoy! Hahah!

Our families got together up at the Lewis cabin the Sunday before MLK day (1/18). We had a fun evening watching one of the semi-final NFL games, eating dinner, and playing cards. It was so fun having both our families up there together. John and Ann were very kind and let us Robins clan sleep up there so that we could just walk out the door and start our day early on the slopes the next morning. It was a fun MLK day spent doing something we all love, snowboarding/skiing. 

We then had another eventful weekend just a few days later (1/24). We had a coupon to The Roof in SLC (we received it because we had our wedding luncheon at the JSMB) so we planned a whole days worth of activities. We left around 2 to go visit my brother and sister-in-law and their kids - particularly their sweet little newborn twins. Those baby boys are sooo cute. They are just the tiniest little things! You almost don't even know how to hold them because they're just so little! After visiting them for a while, we drove the rest of the way up to SLC to attend the temple. OF COURSE we just figured the temple would be open... and it wasn't. Closed for several weeks for cleaning! We planned on being there and shopping around City creek for the rest of the time before dinner at 7:30. But, we had to come up with some other plan to fill those several hours. We decided to head up to the Bountiful Temple because we had enough time to spare. It ended working out perfectly. We got done with our session and drove back to Downtown and walked into dinner right at 7:30! The Roof was beautiful and the food was delicious. The most stunning location and view. We then headed home and got word that April and Jared, along with some friends, were going disco skating at Classic Skating. We couldn't turn that down! I hadn't been there for years. It was surprisingly packed but as fun as ever. We had a very enjoyable Saturday!

Just lovin those baby boys again. Henry Kipp and Owen Brandon

Last night, all the local Robins plus G&G Anderson/Robins went to the PBR at the Maverick Center. My parents gave us all tickets for Christmas. It was a blast! All the best bull riders from around the world competing to qualify for the World Championships. Our family looked totally out of place (about the only sober, mormon-looking group there). But we all lovveddd it! It was so fun and entertaining. 

Also, on Friday, Adam and I plus Claire and a date went to the US premiere of the musical The Count of Monte Cristo at BYU. It was incredible. The story, along with the actors incredible voices/orchestra honestly brought me to tears a few times. As we were walking to the car after the 2 1/2 hour long show, I told Adam that I could have walked right back in there and sat through the whole musical again. I LOVED it. 

And of course, tonight was the big Superbowl game. Seahawks vs. Patriots. To be completely honest, I didn't care much about the game. But because I had to pretend I did, I was rooting for the Seahawks. Unfortunately, they lost. I have to say, I was really looking forward to Katy Perry's halftime performance. I had high expectations aannndddd... I was disappointed. Not that spectacular. Kinda weird in fact. Also, the commercials seemed to all be super touching and full of emotion. That was a change. Not necessarily bad or good. I liked the positive vibes from them. But, I also like the funny commercials too and, there really weren't very many of them. 

Hope you all have a great new week!
