Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from the Robison Family!
As this year comes to a close we pause to reflect. The year
2018 for us has been a year of joys and tears and trials and learning. Our year
started with plenty of fun with new pets (bearded dragons), seeing the Midway Ice
Castles, and seeing the All Star Monster Truck show. We also had the
opportunity to go to Goblin Valley for spring break and we really enjoyed
it. We enjoyed some family history trips
as well which included a day in Bern, Idaho. We were able to take a trip to New
Mexico this fall to meet one of my two nieces who were born this summer. We love exploring this beautiful world!
Kent is still enjoying being a Foreman with Midgley
Construction. He has enjoyed working with the boy scouts and spending time with
Braxton in scouting as well. They were able to go back to Moab and do some
hiking this spring on an overnight campout and then spent a week together at
summer camp up mirror lake highway. We are pretty lucky to have him as he takes
good care of his family and friends.
I was busy this year with planning and putting together the
ward girl’s camp in June and I was blessed to have Kent come help me with it
thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Kunz who watched the kids. Just before girl’s
camp I took a trip to Mobile, Alabama for my cousin Amelia’s wedding which was
a delight. I was blessed a couple of months later to be able to go to North
Carolina with my sister to meet our other new niece. Immediately following that
trip I had the bittersweet opportunity to see many dear friends from high
school as we came to celebrate the life of our dear friend Tia who passed away.
I keep trying to keep up with this family of three boys and one great man. So
far I feel I’ve done pretty well.
Braxton turned 12 this summer and started 7th
grade in the middle school. He has done really well keeping up with his studies
and staying on top of assignments. We were able to attend a benefit choir
concert they put on for ALS this fall. They sang Beatles songs and it was
a blast! He also tried out for the school play and made the ensemble. Last spring he participated in the 6th
grade play and now this year we are looking forward to seeing all his hard work
pay off on the stage of The Fiddler on
the Roof in February. He’s really enjoying school as well as being a part
of the boy scouts.
Cort started the 2nd grade this year and he loves
it. He keeps us thinking with his many animal riddles. He turned 8 last month
and was baptized this month. We are so grateful for his decision to follow the
Savior. He started cub scouts and he already loves it. We were able to enjoy
watching him play soccer again this fall. He tried out playing goalie and did a
pretty good job. It’s so great to watch his interests grow and develop.
Marshal started a preschool co-op with mom and a couple of
neighbors this fall and he really loves it. He asks almost daily if it is a
preschool day or not. He loves learning numbers and letters and spending time
with his friends. He still loves trucks, tractors and trailers and prays for
his red tractor and brown trailer that Santa brought him last year and never
forgets to pray for his friends. He brings more fun to this family than we can
handle sometimes but we are sure grateful for his light heart in our home.
We hope that 2018 has been a good year for you. We are so
thankful for the blessing of family and friends in our lives. You bring us the
most wealth! We are so thankful for our Savior Jesus Christ and the gift of his
atonement! We know that all we have comes through His good grace. We hope this
Christmas season brings you the light and peace that you desire and carries us
all into the New Year!
With Love,
The Robison Family
