Shuffle Board Slide

I went to the community center around the block today with Jaime. It was pretty...righteous!! (Almost said "awesome"... =P) We found some little bottles and filled them up with water which we dumped all over the shuffle board. Then we went sliding across it!! XD

We made it out alive with only a few minor injuries.  I think we both fell about 3 times each.  The first time I slipped was the worst...  Slammed my hip right on the soaking wet shuffle board. DX

But it was cool.  First I slipped and hit my right hip, then my left hip and shoulder, then...I fell flat on my bottom.  Still, I think I made the "BEST SLIDE EVER"!!!  And I beat Jaime. =D

Oh yeah!  And I thought it was pretty funny at the water fountain.  I got this random idea to spit my water all over Jaime just because she wouldn't be ready for it....  It was quite a surprise, I think!!  XD


She ended up getting me back later though.  =P

Mikey, Dorey Park, and Ketchup (Pictures)

Hey y'all!  Here are the photos from my last post, "Mikey, Dorey Park, and Ketchup".  Enjoy!

 In the back of the car.

Vroom vrooom!!

JJ on the see-saw.  =)

Mikey, honk if you're about to run over someone!!  Sheesh!  Could have warned me, ya know...

Mikey going down his first real slide.  At least, the other ones he went down were kind of little...

Hmm...

I think he looks cute here.  =P

Boo!  =O

So, Mikey, wha's for dinner??  =9

Having a blast on the swings.  =D

Weee!!

Ducks!!  Quack quack!!

Look at the ducks, Mikey!  (He was probably thinking, "Why do I have to hold their hands..?")

Mikey, Dorey Park, and Ketchup

Hey, you guys!!  =D

Guess what we did today.  Yep, we went to Dorey Park.  Mostly for the Mikey man.  Got me some photos too, but I still need to upload them to the computer as of yet.  Well, I DID just get home, so you can't give me too much grief.  =P

After we went to the park, we decided to head out to Mickie D's and meet Dad up for some dinner.  I think it's so cute when Mikey says "chicken noogets" and "fwench fwies".

On the way to Mickie D's, we discovered that Mom had some Swedish Fish in the car (which she had forgotten about, go figure).  

It was pretty funny.  I was counting up the candy out loud.  We got 10 per person.  So I was like "1, 2....7, 8, 9...", then all of a sudden Mikey goes "10!!".  Haha!

Pretty soon, we arrived at the restaurant.  Restaurant...ha!  Sounds funny saying that about MacDonalds.  But maybe it shouldn't...?  I don't know...

At any hoot, we ordered our food.  I got me some chicken "noogets".  And...of course I managed to embarrass myself by accidentally dipping 3 of my fingers in ketchup while reaching for my nuggets.

Yeah, I was kind of like...what is thisss???  I couldn't really see the ketchup so...my fingers just kind of dove into it.  O.o

Later, after I had manage to wipe every last blob of ketchup off my fingers and out of my nails (GROSS!), I made my french fries walk around to entertain Mikey.  Then, of course, I got scolded for teaching Mikey to play with his food.  Lol.  =P

It was kind of funny when Mikey put his french fry on the table and called it a "snake!  Sssss..!".  

When dinner was finished, the parents of pure awesomeness decided to get us some fudge sundaes.  Dad didn't want his nuts so I gladly took them off his hands....well, they were actually out of the bag, but I think you know what I mean.

Then I kind of thought it might be a bit boring for Mikey to just sit there and eat "Aun' Missy's" ice cream, so I gave him some of the lids to play with.  

He stacked 'em on top each other...and then started shooting them everywhere!!  And umm...Mom's ice cream was thrown into her lap.  Luckily though, it didn't spill out, so there was no mess.

Besides all that...we did the "What do the Illithids do?"  That's a little something I made up.  I got it from a fantasy book.  

The Illithids, also known as Mind Flayers, are magical creatures with octopus heads.  It's kind of disgusting what they do.  You can probably guess anyways, so I won't say.

Any hoot, what I do is put my hands in front of my face, wiggle my fingers while making a sound by wiggling my tongue, and put my hands around his head and vibrate them a little.  He loves it!  =D

Well, guess that's about it.  Should be uploading some Dorey Park pictures one of these'm days.  Over and out!

The Aviation Museum

Okay, I know I haven't posted in like forever!  But I've been kind of busy on my other blog (ayoungauthorsblog.blogspot.com).  Anyway, on with the post......

Today we (Me, Courtney, Will, Mom, and Mikey) went to the aviation museum.  It took a while to find the way in because you have to go on like three different roads going back and forth just to get there.......look below the get what I mean....the square thing is the building and the lines are the roads......

That probably didn't help, but it's kind of hard to illustrate on the computer with only the keyboard to draw with.  Well there were three roads in the front and the way in was at the very end of one.  On with the story.....

Well, we got in and Mikey got to get in a real airplane........guess what?  HE DIDN'T LIKE IT!!!!!  He was very excited at first, screaming "airpane!".   But, when his foot got stuck in a little wire in the airplane, he cried.  So we got him out and let him play in the toy area.  I sat with him a little while, drew a dumb-looking plane, and wrote a dinky poem.

After looking around with Will, he and I found a game where you control the plane on the screen in front of you.  It had weird controls and Will got a little mad at me when I accidentally changed the view and he couldn't get it back. 

Me, Will, and Court got to ride in something called a......stimulator?  Something like that.  Well, two people get inside and BUCKLE IN.  Make sure you do the latter.  Well, there's a screen in front of you with helicopters and airplanes on it, all made for war.  The pilot steers the "plane" your in and the copilot shoots.  When the pilot steers, the very thing your sitting in reacts however you turn it.  I was so surprised the first time I kept squealing, and Courtney, as pilot, flipped the thing completely upside down!  Will kept telling me to shoot, and I kept telling him to find someone for me to shoot.  Over all, it was awesome!

To end our time there, we did some of the little experiment game things.......you know..........air blowing out sucks a ball in............one wing lifts more that the other...............stuff like that......... Then Mom bought Mikey a little $6.00 airplane toy.  (He's really in to airplanes, even as a...23 month old? I think so.)

ps. when i looked at this the format was ruined so the illustration doesn't work at all.  pay no mind to it.  i have to go, so i'll delete it later.

You dare to tread on The Robinson Family Happenings blog??? That's it!


ATTTTTAAAAACKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Just for fun...

Back From The Orthodontist

We just got back from the orthodontist at around 10:43 this morning. NO MORE BRACES!!

It wasn't too bad getting them off actually, except for when they scraped the glue off. Yeah, lots of pressure. Ehh, doesn't feel too great.

Felt kind of weird having no braces. I mean, I'd been wearing them things for a few years now. Made me feel like there was something on my teeth....like my lips! =D

Yeah, but it was cool! Look different now. Wow! Totally different from what my teeth WERE like. I was a bad case, man....

Going to get my retainer in a week. They did my molds. Apparently I don't get to choose whether or not I want the metal or the plastic... I was GOING to go with metal, but whatever.... Actually, now I think I'd go with plastic anyways, so...

SO YEAH!! Here's a pic of me and Will (Yes, he got his off same time too. NO FAIR!!) without braces. Um, by the way, that hat I'm wearing...I was just being silly that night, just so you know....that is the only reason I'm wearing it.


...and here's some more pics....

Pole Green Park

We took little Mikey to Pole Green Park the other day. Will and Jaime mostly skateboarded at the skate park. Mom and I let Mikey play on the playground. It was pretty fun.

Mikey in his yellow race car.

Swinging.



Whoa!! Is that Big Foot?? (.) (.)



Weee!!! =D





Ah Ha Ha!!!



Yay!!



Me: Hey Mikey, don't you think that's a little dangerous?....(Next picture -->)



...Mikey: Naw Court, I'm a professional.



Climbing through the tube.



Hey Mikey, what's that behind you??



Climbing up the slide.



Sliding. Woohoo!!

MY MP3 PLAYER

I finally got my mp3 player in the mail today at 3:24 pm. It's so awesome!!!! Got a bunch of songs on it now. =D


Yeah, I decided to use headphones the first night, since I wasn't all too fond of earphones.

Used to them now though. =)

Will's Voice

The whole family was cracking up tonight because of Will's voice. It's been changing as of the last day or 2, and it just sounds so funny! In the middle of a sentence he'll just get all squeaky. It's just too funny!

Even when he laughs, it sounds funny. Been teasing him a little about it today. Ha, he doesn't mind though. I wonder how long this'll last...?

Skating

We went skating the other day (Thursday) and took Mikey with us. It was pretty sweet. Jaime and I took turns pushing Mikey around the skating rink in his stroller. That sounds a little weird. "The skating rink in his stroller"? Ah well, you know what I mean.

He had alot of fun with that. We decided not to rent skates for him since he's only 1. I'll probably try to teach him how to skate when he's 3 if he's still with us.

Besides pushing him around the skating rink, Jaime and I (mostly Jaime) took him walking around. We let him check out the arcade games. He got to turn the steering wheel on one. We also set him on the new motorcycle arcade game and rocked him a bit.

All in all, I think he had fun. Too bad I forgot my camera. Next time I'll probably take it. Mom says we can probably go this next Thursday too, since it's the last one before school starts.

HOPEFULLY, the Wassenburgs go, and Jaime can see Alexis.

Thinking About It

My parents are actually thinking about getting chickens in our backyard which might not be a bad idea. The only thing I'm dreading is if we would have to eat the eggs.

And if their are too many, then Mom will probably be making lots of egg breakfasts. I hate eggs. I don't mind them in things that you bake or whatever, but just eggs.

Seriously I think I'd rather eat them raw than I would cooked. I think I'll ask Mom if I could try it one day when she makes eggs again...probably Sunday. I can tell you it sounds so much tastier then fried or scrambled eggs.

Mom and Dad have been looking at chicken coup plans for a while. They want to tear down our old shed to build on top of it.

I don't know if we WILL do it or not, but I know they're thinking about it.

Taking Mikey to Dorey Park

The other day, we took Mikey to Dorey Park. On the way there we listened to a Seeds Family Worship album, Seeds of Faith. Yeah! Which, by the way, I still have that coupon code if interested. Just let me know.

When we finally got to Dorey Park, there were only 2 kids there which rather surprised me. The boys told me they were 8 and 5.

I rocked them on the big see saw for awhile until their parents said they were going to go walk down by the pond.

It was kind of funny because a short time before the younger boy was in the house at the little bull horn saying, "Mom can we go to Chucky Cheese??" (his parents said "NO" of course), and when the parents called the boys over to go to the pond, the little boy asked, "We're going to Chucky Cheeses?!". Haha.

Ok back to Mikey. We let Mikey run around the place, and I took pictures. Mikey first got on the little see saw with Dad.

Then later he wanted to wander around, and he soon wandered over to the car. He climbed in the back of it and played with the mulch inside.

Eventually he got pretty bored with that and ran back outside to find some "awesome" things in the mulch that he could stick in his mouth and play around with. We had to make sure he didn't get the popped water balloons on the ground.

Once over at the big see saw, where everyone was sitting, Mikey found cheerios on the ground. Cheerios!! He found cheerios IN THE MULCH and started eating them. Only a baby could find cheerios in the mulch. Lol.

Mikey also decided to drive the car. With his cup full of water in his mouth (held by his teeth), he drove. Vroom! Vrooom!

I don't suppose you're getting tired of me yabbering on, so I'll just post some pictures.


See sawing with Uncle Bill.

Checking out the house.

Oooh wow! Binoculars.

What happened to the rest of the car?

Riding with Jaime.

Getting on the giant worm (or whatever that thing's s'posed to be).

Silly Willy.

Getting into the play trailer.

His face was all red. It was kind of hot.

Finding treasures in the mulch. One man's trash is another man's treasure, aye Mikey?

Thirsty. =Þ Mom dripped water on his head. That's why his hair looks so funny.

Mikey, Mikey, Mikey....MIKEY! What have I told you about drinking and driving? >:(

Oooh wow tees. Coool. *grunts*

Me on the way home.

A locust skin I found on the way in the house.

Mikey was hungry when we got home from Dorey Park, so we gave him some crackers and water....and apple sauce a short while later.

Laughing at me. =Þ

He he he!

Checking out the ceiling.

Ah ha ha, Aunt Missy.
