39 weeks, and yes it was two more weeks!

Well, we are about 8 hours away from leaving for the hospital. Kids are all set for tomorrow and my bags are packed. After the Dr's. visit today, he told me not to sneeze and he would see me in the morning. That is kind of funny because since then I have sneezed many times. I have actually picked up a pretty good cold to go with the delivery tomorrow. Baby should be here before noon!
It has been a long time coming and we are all excited. I will post again on Sunday with pictures of our new baby.

Will it be a Girl or Boy???
Larson thinks girl
Jackson thinks girl to make it even
Jordan prays that it is a girl
And Mom and Dad just want a healthy baby whether it is a boy or girl- we dont care!

Hannah Montana


Jordan's first Concert
Ally & AJ opening for Hannah Montana



Hannah Montana herself from behind!



Jordan was able to treat her best friend Mariana to the concert.
Jordan was holding the golden tickets.
Jordan had actually been in bed sick right up until her shower to go. We gave her lots of Motrin and off she went. If she was able to make it, we were not keeping her home. Mariana's Mom took the girls with my ticket. I was too worried that I would have to leave the concert for the hospital and I didn't want that to happen.
We are just glad that she could rally and go to the concert. Hope she is having a great time!

My Aunt Char

Larsons last 24 hours of being Aunt Chars Favorite
What a fun day Larson had with his Aunt Char. He was glued to her side and had a day full of fun and love. They played so many board games together that I could not name them all. I would find Aunt Char hiding under the computer desk or dining room table playing hide and seek. She was seen running around the house playing "Monster". Most of all, Aunt Char gave Larson all the love that he could handle, after all tomorrow there will be a "new favorite" in town.

We're Playing Basketball X Two



Jackson's team name is the "Texas Fighters"







Jackson runs so fast that he is just a blur. OK, not really, I am just such a great photographer that I intended to make this picture look like the athlete pictures of the 80 Olympics. I think that McDonalds ran that campaign. Ok, not really. I have allot of studying before I know how to use my new high tech camera.


Jackson, is this ballet class or basketball????



Size has nothing to do with playing basketball except when you are shooting on a 10ft goal and shooting free throws from the adult line.
So when at a disadvantage do what you do best. Play DEFENSE. Jordan is great at it and loves to go after the ball.










Can you guess who is once again the smallest on the team?? This is nothing new to her.


It does make for a busy Saturday but we had so much fun watching both kids play. We were impressed with how much Jackson understood just after 2 practices. Jordan loves playing basketball and we love watching her go in and around all the "tall people".

Endangered Tigers!




Here is Jackson's latest creation.
He has a school project that included picking a wild animal and reading a non fiction book. Coming up with a creative way to write his 5 favorite facts and making a puppet. We started on Monday and finished him tonight. I don't think that Jackson has named him yet. I just wanted the project finished in case I went to the hospital.
Good job Jackson! Hope you get a good grade!

GNO (Girls Night Out)

AKA Diaper Shower
Last night "the girls" all met at Chillis and had a small diaper shower for me. It was so perfect to just have dessert and socialize with everyone. It had been far too long since we had a girls night out.
Thank you Conni and Minda for putting this together!

All 3 in Primary





Last Sunday all the classes moved up at church. Jordan is in the 11 year class, Jackson is very excited about being in the 8year class as they have baptisms all year, and Larson is now in SUNBEAMS! No more baby church (aka Nursery) for Larson. Of course, Jordan wants it to be very known that she is in senior primary and her little brothers are in junior primary.





Can you tell by the poses Larson gave me that he thinks he is something else being in with the big kids now? We wouldn't expect anything less but his teachers gave us a very good report that he was so good and even spelled his name for them.

Last Pregancy Picture


37 Weeks and hopefully not 2 more!
I thought that I should capture the last picture of me pregnant. I am still bigger than this picture represents. I just wont raise the shirt to prove it. Right now you can not distinguish my calf from my ankle from my foot. They are so swollen that they just blend in together.
Last Friday the Dr. went ahead and scheduled me to be induced on the 25th but he thinks that I will never make it that far and I sure do hope that he is right!
TODAY WOULD BE GREAT WITH ME.

Austin Brings Major Temperature Swings

Today started off very cold and got into the 60's. Larson loves to get all bundled up at the least bit of a chill. So he picks out a full attire of winter clothes and is so proud of himself.
On the way to school he was in his car seat and he kept saying that he was "tight" It isn't easy trying to buckle with all the extra padding.
Thank goodness we are not in cold weather and have to deal with the winter coats and car seats!

Helping Mom by Washing her Car



OK, so I think that Tom paid them $2 each but at least the car was clean. It had been dirty for way too long! I was just too big to bend down and take care of it for myself.
Thank you family for helping me out!












New Years Eve 2007

What a beautiful day in Austin. We decided to take advantage of it and spend the day downtown at a festival called First Night. It is a very "Keep Austin Weird" event but we did have fun doing some unique things.
We spent some time at Zilker Park and then to Town Lake for some rock n' roll spin art, Graffiti the bridge (nice thing to teach our kids), all 3 got lost in a silly string maze.
We finished the night off with a very weird downtown parade and a dinner at Jasons Deli. We did ring in the New Year on Eastern Standard Time but I think the Roberts house was fast asleep when midnight hit Austin.
2007 was a great year for us: We all are healthy and doing well
We spent a great summer vacation on the East Coast and Gulf Shores
Tom passed CFA level one
Family and Friends joined us at the San Antonio temple where we were sealed as a family
Buddy was able to make it through another pregnancy
We celebrated Mom and Dads 50th Anniversary
We felt very blessed this year and look forward to 2008!
