BELAS DANCE PICTURES AND RECITAL

nobody@vox.com(Robinsfamily) — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:21:13 -0700

Bela's dance recital went well, without any big problems.. it was a busy week though with the practices and Sunday recital, we had to cut out of church early! She loved it and the attention from being so dressed up.. We will have the video of it @ June 12th.. couldn't home-record it, they get us more every year with fees.. oh well, she has fun..Isn't she a doll??

click on photos to see larger... what fun we had, got our season pass.. Juan and I went on a date without the kids and saw the free concert of 38 special.. an older band but we recognized a few songs! it was cool!! Plus we didn't have to do the child swap since our kids are still to short to ride the roller coaster! What a theme park.. almost as good as Florida!

Finally gettting around to updating..

nobody@vox.com(Robinsfamily) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:51:26 -0800

Well, I finally updated... computer is still not right, but for the time being it can read my photo card and I can add-update here.. though don't know what my next plan is with the computer, if its return time, or speak with the phone people again (already did that for over 5 hours) or just deal with its craziness.. I don't know.. So here we are now Wed and school got out early, and I'm still watching another young boy, hes a sweety, only 3 years old.. gotta make gas $$ and extra $$ to pay bills, still looking for that perfect job?? Daryll now has gotten calls from 3 places, he interviewed and got the spot at www.hardrockpark.com WOW!! starts April 1st in a souveneir sales spot inside the park, were hoping to get discount tickets!! and get the call from Walmart working midnights (the job I was hoping to get) he turned down (we decided midnioghts and college won't be good together) and well so hes working parttime at a local seafood restaurant.. we'll see how that goes till April.. I aslo applied at Hard Rock but no luck... don't know whats God has planned for me still stuck in the empty nest of kids going to school and what should I do now syndrome. Daryll pretty much does his schoolwork on his own and well this babysitting isn't paying the bills... Juans had no roofs to work since Nov and well hes findinf odd jobs here and there but its been a rough couple of months with no go signs in sight, yet in everything I give thanks, we are all learning from our having to give up the "special" things we get so accustomed to. Anyways so thats my sob story today.. going to church for dinner, we have Wed night dinners, 1st Wed every month I cook (with help from 2 others) and had over 100 last week! uggh just relieved I have 3 more weeks till I have to do it again.. Also still "in charge" of the youth and all its going on's.. see my last post with the blog info.. our church website is www.hiscalvary.com click youth, and you can see our blog also.. TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!
