Happy Engagement!

Congratulations Julie and Jordon on your engagement! We are all so excited for you! When is the BIG Day????

Baby Shower for Kami!

On Saturday, March 6th we had a baby shower for Kami! We are so excited that her and Joe will be having their first girl! Kami received many "girlie" gifts...lots of pink, lots of bows, and lots of flowers. We played BINGO as Kami opened the gifts. Each gift had a number on it. As she called the number guests were able to cross it off their list. It was a fun way to not only see innumerable gifts opened but to be competing for fantastic prizes!

The house was filled with family members and friends from both Joe and Kami's families.

You can barely see Sarah's baby bump in this picture. We will have to have another baby shower for her little girl soon!

It's hard to believe Kami is due in less than a month and she can still bend over and touch her toes. She is a hot Mama!!!

Lots of super cute girl clothes!

Pink blankets were a must for a new baby girl!

Aunt Brenda always finds a special gift for the new babies.

All the MARRIED Ladies... ALL the MARRIED Ladies....(sing in the single ladies tune)

Attention: HOTTIE ROBLES Women!!!!

You are Coordinately Invited to the

Robles Women's Vegas Extravaganza!!!!

When You ask?? Well... It is being scheduled for May 13 thru the 16th!!!

Why you ask?? We just thought it would be a fab dab time to celebrate the Birth of Two Brunette Hotties... Amy and Upcoming Robles Hottie...Jacque!

Also for us ladies to celebrate being Mom's and just being well... AWESOME!!!!!

Note: We will need a Definite YES or NO by... April 1st! That way we can reserve the hotel room. We are looking into just all splitting a room... That way, the cost will stay super cheap and give us more money for Shop-a-LOPPING!!!!!!

Happy Day!

A Robles Family Christmas!

The Robles Family Christmas party was held at the Jensen's home this year. The party was a ton of fun despite the turkey cooker malfunctioning and delaying our meal 1 1/2 hours.Opening presents is always fun for everyone. Robbie loves his colorful book!

Mom is talking to David and Jackie as she opens their extra special gift.

The kids were all over the place, including the staircase to watch the present opening fun!

Jacob and Natalie can hardly contain their excitement over the splendid wrapping paper!

Julie is in love and doesn't care what is going on!!!! Jordan is such a good sport. He played all of our goofy games and even helped clean up after little kids!

Dad received more presents than he knew what to do with. He had trouble keeping them all together.

Yes, Kami looks super cute at about 6 months pregnant.

These little darlings loved that there was chocolate and candy out on the tables for anyone to eat. They had their fair share and a little more when no one was looking!

Please notice that Mom and Dad are in this picture and that we are playing UNO. Try not to fall out of your chair in shock! They are even having fun playing a family game. Kami was awesome to teach mom the rules of UNO. Later during the day, Mom and Dad even played Apples to Apples. Although they didn't win, (AMY WON 10 TIMES!!!!!), Dad did a great job offending all of the women in the room in one turn and offended Jacob on another turn. It was a funny site to see!!!

Our next stop after dinner was the Mesa Temple. We listened to the musical performance by the Cooley Sisters. Heidi, Madi and Payten enjoyed it so much that they were dancing everywhere. They did pause for a moment to get their priceless picture taken. Mitchell and Grant tried not to notice all of the beautiful lights....but it was just too hard for them to avoid it! On Saturday afternoon, Uncle Major and Aunt Ann came over for lunch. Aunt Ann told lots of stories about the Sweeney family history and filled in some of the gaps I had in my family history information. It was a wonderful visit and quite a treat!

We can hardly wait for the next big Robles Family get-together!

Christmas is Coming!

The BIG Christmas party at the Jensen home will be at 3PM on Christmas Day. We are excited to offer you not only fabulous food but also a table and chair to sit at. Today I made your place card so you can find your coveted seat. I have a few extra, so if you change your mind and decide this is the place to spend your Christmas evening, give me a call. See you soon!

Happy Birthday Amy!

Today Amy is the big 27! Super fun!

Bob did a great job tricking Amy into thinking she was going to a special park for a birthday celebration. He had her close her eyes the whole way to the "park." It was fun to see her surprise when she ended up at our house for dinner and a party! We love you Amy! Happy Birthday!

Christmas is Coming!

I know its not even Halloween yet, but Christmas just creeps up so quickly. Before you know it, you will be standing in long lines to purchase perfect gifts for family and friends.

Each year in our family we draw names of who we get to get gifts for. If you are like me, it would be so much fun to get something for everyone; however, it just is too cost prohibitive. So we wanted to make the name drawing a little more predictable so you don't keep getting the same family each year. Look below for this year's list.

The GIVER.........................Who you get to get a gift for...
The McKinley's ...........................Julie
The Jensen's ...............................the McKinley's
Michael & Amy ...........................the Jensen's
Joe & Kami ..................................Michael & Amy's family
Daniel & Jana ..............................Joe & Kami's family
The Shupe's ................................Daniel and Jana's family
The Padilla's ...............................the Shupes
Jacob & Natalie ..........................the Padillas
David ..........................................Jacob & Natalie
Julie ............................................David

Next year we will just move column two down one space. The person at the bottom of column two will then move to the top of column two. This way we each get a different family every nine years. Eventually, a year will come and you will have yourself to get gifts for. Since that wouldn't be much fun, we will move column two twice. But don't worry about that for now since that won't happen for nine years!!!

Mom and Dad are exempt from the family gift exchange list because everyone loves to get mom and dad gifts! Plus, they want to do a little something for all of their twenty-something grandchildren.

Happy shopping! I hope to see everyone at the big Christmas dinner at the Jensen's!
