Every time I think about blogging I get a bit overwhelmed at how behind I am. So I will start with what is happening now. Last weekend Aunt Tracie came into town. So we went up to Table Mountain and hiked down one of the small trickling falls. The kids were each able to find a salamander with the help of Uncle Michael, Aunt Tracie, and Kevin.





We had a fun little picnic and enjoyed the outdoors. We found salamanders, lizards, and a frog. Jaydn got to the point where he was easily able to catch a salamander.

Aunt Tracie and Olivia holding another Salamander. I must say the salamanders here in Cali are of a different breed then in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania the salamanders are very tiny.





Kevin is pro at catching lizards with a weed. He ties a slip knot with a weed and slips it over the lizards head and catches it every time.




Ella was letting the salamander crawl all over her. She kept saying, "It kickles mama" (it tickles) it was so stinking cute.

We love when family comes to visit. We are so blessed to have so many family members.

those salamanders are a lot bigger than the ones we caught growing up. Phil uses the same technique to catch his lizards...some boys never grow up! :)...thats why we love them!

We are proud to announce the arrival of Gabriella Ann Robertson. She arrived Wednesday morning at 7:59 a.m. She is small at 6 lbs 12 ounces and 19 inches long, but she is perfect and beautiful. We are excited that she is finally here. Jaydn, Olivia and Madalyn love to go see and hold her. More pictures of this will be added soon. They are great siblings.
