i'm teaching her early. biker babes are the real deal. actually, i was scared to death to see her little body on that huge bike. No need to teach Elle anything, she loved every second of her ride with uncle matt!!!!!!!!! He's the BEST!

just a large can of paint that was spilled in our driveway this morning! as brooke was getting her tripod out of the car this morning, a borrowed can of paint fell out and exploded on our driveway. as i sat there watching my wife leave for a photoshoot, i turned and looked at my three kids who were promised to go to the donut shop and then looked and the paint creeping down towards the street...what's a dad supposed to do?

well, i grabbed a paper plate and began scooping large amounts of paint up and just dumping them back in the can. when i got about as much as i could up, i went to the paper towels. after sopping up what i could then, it was hot soapy water time. i tried scrubbing with a dish scrubber but destroyed it in about 90 seconds. i called Windy for a metal scrubber, but she just suggested a grill cleaner. so for the next hour or so, i had three kids outside with dad scrubbing, scraping, wiping up the brownish/red paint from our driveway. i gave up trying to keep Maye out of water after about 5 minutes and we just put on a smile and cleaned up our driveway. the kids were a good help watching little sister and getting their scrub on. as macy crossland would say, "this is my life. i can't make this stuff up!"

Need some help! Let me know which one of these is your favorite to use for baby dedication.

First, thank you Hudsons for taking such precious and memorable pics of my growing family (and belly).
One year ago this was the Robinson life. Such anticipation of baby #3. What would she look like, what would her personality be, would raising 3 be harder than 2...cough cough!
check out these darling pics...

in honor of my bestie Amber Haines...here are some Friday Funnies...

The life of Silas...ONE boy to FOUR girls...


Ben and Fin...such good dads

Aren't kids great! The more creative the project...the better. I think decorating Easter eggs is one of the greatest ideas. Elle and Silas had a blast. Baby Maye...not so much.

don't leave your cereal unattended...SHE will get it!

We had such a special time in FL last week. Our first few nights were spent in a hotel room and our last 4 days we lived it up in a cute beach house. Here are a few of pics from our trip.

we had some of this last night and the kids couldn't wait to see their little sister do it again this morning...as new Robinson Family sport is emerging!

So, the kids and I headed to Memphis on March 27th to meet up with Finley. We were finally on vacation, here we come sandy beach!! As most of you know i'm terrified of long distance driving. I always get lost and not knowing where i am alone with 3 kids is very scary to me.
On with the story. The kids and I made it to Memphis, I only missed one exit. BUT the next day is another story. Finley gave me specific instructions to wake up Sat morning, drive to the pottery barn outlet, have an intensive look around...then meet him at Chicfila at noon.
Well, i forgot the GPS at home so i made sure to get exact directions from a very reliable source. However, these promising directions took me to the old pottery barn location...about 45 min from where I was suppose to be. CRUD-OL-A!!!!!
I managed to make it to the exit Fin told me to meet him. And i found Chicfila.
I decided to totally scrap the pottery barn eye candy and instead feed my kids.
While we were eating this crazy hippy looking woman set her food on the table beside us and immedatly started talking and touching all three of my children.
Weird?! YES! She immediately told me that the only thing missing from this table was another baby boy! I looked at her like, "oh...now that would send me directly to the nut house". (somewhere in here i asked her name..bobby) She touched Maye and started talking about her blue eyes...then said "this baby looks just like her older brother". Suddenly the lady is catching Elle's lunch from falling on the ground and cleaning up ketchup from Elle's lap. After she had one final cuddle session with my kids she shut her eyes and said outloud, "Lord...Oh I pray for this family, that you would bless them and that they would enjoy every day they have on earth." Finally, i started to really like this woman. I asked her if she had grandbabies...and she looked up at me as if that was the silliest question in the universe. She looked me square in the eyes, laughed and said, "No."
Two seconds later my phone rings...it's Fin. Guess what?? I'm at the right exit...wrong Chicfila. Bobby smiled at me as i was about to cry and i asked her, where's the other Chicfila? She gave me quick directions and i thanked her. I promise I looked down for one second and she was GONE!
It didn't take me long to figure out that maybe God looked down on me from Heaven and said Bobby...i've got a live one for ya. Go help Brooke. Call me crazy, i think we met an angel at Chicfila!
