Happy Birthday Girls!

For my cute niece's birthdays and back to school presents I took them to have their hair done. They both got a few highlights and super cute haircuts from the fabulous Katy Beckstrand!
I didn't get an official before picture, but you can see how long their hair was.


and.....

drum roll pease....

Aren't they the cutest? Katy did such a good job, they both are so happy and excited about their new hair!

Scrapbooking Stats...

A few people have asked about what programs I use to scrapbook digitaly.

I use Photoshop CS4, I think it is probably overkill. I just use it because that is what I use with my photography business. I think Photoshop elements would probably be just as great (and a TON cheaper) to scrapbook with.

I buy kits, alphas, templates, etc... from http://ggdigitaldesigns.com/ and http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/ mainly, occasionally from other places but these two are my favorites.

Photoshop does take awhile to learn, before photoshop I used a program called my memories suite, by Polaroid. Which is great, I am just so used to photoshop now that I like it a lot better.

Hope this answers your questions! Thanks

More Scrapbooking...

Scrapbooking

So the other day (while I was trying to fix my stupid sidebar that is now on the bottom, and my background that has disappeared :) I saw that my profile says one of my interests is scrapbooking...

It is a big part of my life. You wouldn't know it from reading this blog now though, would you?

Our basement (ie my scrapbooking room) is torn all apart right now for my studio renovations (!!!).

So I have been doing all digital the last little bit, I will for sure do some paper scrapbooking still, because to be honest I'm already at the computer all day and I could use a break! But for now that can't happen.
I did these this morning. I am a cheater, if I have something I want to scrap of both boys I do it this way. And just switch out a picture or two, and the journaling. With both digital or paper.

Cheating? Probably.

Do I care? Not at all!



So anyway, I am going to add pages as I do them. Most people scrapbook right? Does anyone actually even care to see these?

Robinson Family Reunion

This year I was in charge of my big extended family reuion. I know that I had a great time, and hopefully everyone else did too!
Thaks so much Mom, for all your help. I couldn't have gotten anything done without you.



We had a HUGE slide, and a bounce house. Super fun, but all the kids got a TON of rug (plastic?) burns from the slide. Note to Porta Party: we love your prices and your bouncers but please get some big cloth bags to go down the slide in :)



Layton covered himself in sunscreen, don't have a heart attack Uncle Lee, I made sure he didn't get any in his eyes. Haha, I'm sure that is only super funny to me :) ...


Tiny little BrookLynn going down the slip-n-slide, and poor Lance doing a belly flop in the dunk tank :)


Does it get any funner than 30 cousins on the trampoline at once? Parker loved my sister's cute babies.


Actually, everyone loved my sister's cute babies! My dad layed down to take a nap, and Parker went and covered him with grass :)

Wow, congratulations on making it through all that! If you wan't to see more (and I can't imagine that anyone who wasn't there, or probbably even if you were, would want to) go here
>Thanks so much everyone for coming! Hope to see you all again soon!!!
