SOOO much going on!!!

Im guessing that most of you know that we are moving....if you dont here it is, we are moving :( :)...

Nick got a wonderful job back in Dallas, at Highland Park Presbyterian Church and we are going to take it!! WE are truly SO excited, but these last couple of weeks here in Kingwood have been really sad and hard to swallow. Its so hard saying goodbye to people who have molded you and changed you for the better. I was so blessed here.  We had great friends for Kate, with moms that I loved as well, and could talk to and air my frustrations too. We had a fantastic home that the church lovingly let us use the last two years, and Im going to say it, we lived in Houston. I LOVE Houston, and I will truly miss the culture, the fun and just the plan cool stuff it has to offer on a daily basis. So we have a couple more sad days ahead, before we officially move on monday, but for the most part it has been amazing almost 3 years and even though there were some bumps in the road, they of course grew us even more than we thought they would.

Thank you Kingwood for being a special place in my heart.

Ok now for some catching up...we went to Florida a couple weeks ago and had A BLAST to say the least, and I feel like I should share some of those images with you guys! They are soo fun! SO enjoy, When we first got there, we got to go spend some time on the beach, so of course we took beach pics. Kate wasnt really having it, but I always throw those little ones in the water...so here is Harpers little beach shoot. You should also all know that this baby is 7 months OLD!!! I cant believe it!

5 months...almost 6

so my sweet little baby is becoming a big baby right before my eyes!! She is almost 6 months old and I truly cant believe how fast it has gone! Im still blown away that God would bless us with such a sweet and pretty baby again, but He did! And I am grateful! Right now she is sitting up, playing alot and started giggling ALOT at her sister. Kate can make her laugh like its her job. Its the cutest thing ever. She is drooling A TON! and just being real sweet. I started feeding her cereal this week, so next week I think I am going to try to make some real live baby food for this babe! so we will see how that goes.

Kate is doing awesome! I think the older Harper gets the more exciting she thinks it is to have a sister. When H started sitting up I would put her on the bed and Kate made up a game called "timberonthebed" and yes she says it as though it is one word...lol and basically H sits on the bed and when she falls over kate yells TIMBER and then she herself falls over! its really sweet!! She is also talking LIKE crazy and picking up things that are SO funny! We have been on a Toy Story kick here lately, so she has started to pick up lines from it, and one of her faves is to salute and say Yes Sir Mommy or Yes Sir Daddy! Its hilarious! The first time she did it nick and I were so amazed, we were like we have the smartest child ever, then we saw that it was on Buzz and Woody and realized where she got it! Its just a fun time here in the Robbi house, the girls are awesome and we love EVERY minute!

Enjoy some impromptu pics I took after church yesterday!




H is 4 months old!

Baby is 4 months old and I truly can say time has FLOWN by.  She is rolling a little, cooing ALOT, smiling sweet smiles, loving her sis. She is also still not sleeping through the night so we are going to get some self soothing going on soon, cause lets be honest momma gotta sleep!

But we are embarking soon on my most favorite time of babydom! I will say all the stages are pretty fantastic, but from about 6 months to 18 months, I feel like its baby bliss time, and I am SUPER stoked to get started with this one. To learn her little personality, to see how the differences from her sis continue, to see how they are alike, and most of all to see them play! I cant wait for that day! So far I think she is going to be my social bug. She likes to be around people and just be there. She is pretty content to just sit and watch, and well with a busy big around its not like its boring around here. Kate is just such a hoot and a handful at the same time.

We had probably our largest craziest fit to date on tuesday, it couldnt have been a stranger fit too, there really wasnt one thing that spured it on, she just freaked and wouldnt stop. It was a great moment in the middle of the play date that Julie and I had planned, my daughter going CRAZY! Lets preface this fiasco, sunday night, the first night I was home alone with both girls I sat down with my journal (which I havent written in in about 3 years) and wrote to God, like I did in college, everything, from my anxieties to my fears to my goals, and mostly about how this next week would either kill me and my kids or make me a stronger better mother. And Monday morning I woke up refreshed and ready to conquer. I then monday night did the same thing and at 430 tuesday morning my sweet Kate came down to see me and cuddle, which then turned into her coughing and throwing up on me! it was awesome. After getting her cleaned up and back in bed around 545 and Harper fed at 6 and then me back on the couch for some sleep (a nap) when 930 came Kate was in a great mood and ready to play with friends. Well little did I know that truly meant this day is going to rock your world mommy and you will need your Lord. And thats exactly what it was. I dont know how mommies out there do it with out Him. All day yesterday I just would pray, and ask for patience that I didnt have. Or just comfort that I was loving her well. we got through the day just fine, no one died, and there were some great moments in there, but WOAH with the fits. I have to figure out how to make them STOP! SO any advice is needed and wanted!

As far as amazing things that she has done, well we are twirling all the time now, and you all know me and my girlyness LOVE to twirl.  I think its my favorite because most of the time she comes up somewhere very weird and silly and says "mommy, gotta twirl" and of course WE TWIRL! She is also picking up on everything I Say again and she has started saying, "Youve gotta be kidding me mommy" and its perfect timing too! Today we got popsicles and I told her we had to wait and eat them at home, and she looks at me all cute and funny and says, "mommy, yougottabekiddingme" Ill have to get it on video because it sounds like its all one word when she does it. CRACKS ME UP! But thats the latest, we miss daddy big time, and she knows Iam missing him too and to rub it in whenever she gets in trouble and has to go to time out she wails, I MISS MY DADDY!!! and of course I feel awful, because i miss him too.sorry no pics, check facebook :)

My Babes

Man I am BEHIND!!! UGH! Ok so Harper is about to be 4 months old! Can you believe it! Its nutso! I feel like in a blink she is going to be 1! Crazy!

Im trying to think of all the fun things, we have been busy busy around here, I have had my busiest wedding season yet this year, which has been a HUGE blessing. BUT also VERY hard with these little babes and trying to be the photographer and mommy and wife that I strive to be. I have learned alot about myself and who I want to be and who I am, and how I need to focus just a little well lets be honest A WHOLE lot more on my dear Lord.  Who has chosen me to be a part of these babies lives. I am still blown away that Nick and I have been trusted with these little beings, who are so perfect and beautiful and fun! OH so fun!

Kate is getting So big and full of words, she just talks all the time, and is so smart. And HILARIOUS! I cant make the stuff up that she does, its so funny! I feel like daily I am laughing my head off about one thing or another. Her and Harper are starting to get along even better, I am getting so excited for when Harper gets bigger and can start interacting with her big. Kate loves it when she smiles at her, and Harper is truly obsessed with that big sis of hers. Every time Kate comes around Harper is all smiles.

Harper is getting BIG we go in for her check up soon and more shots ;( but I have a feeling she is going to be a chunker! She is wearing clothes Kate wore at 6 months, so Im excited to say this baby is going to be my fat one! I Cant wait!! I love those chunky thighs! Shes rolling a little, cooing and talking ALOT, finding a new sound every day and just shouting it for well the whole day.  Its real cute in the beginning, bug come about 4 in the evening its a little old. haha, I think we also will have another blue eyed girl!! YAY! love those Genes! They are starting to clear up, and I guess they could still change, but I think we are blue to go!

Im going to leave you with some pics from the shoot my dear friend Shanna Did of the girls last month. I am IN LOVE with them and want to wallpaper my house with them, but I think that might be a little much! lol Love you all, and I hope to blog sooner than later!

Easter!

Had a fantastic, busy beautiful Easter weekend.  It was my first official weekend back as a photog, and between thursday night and sunday morning i had 7 shoots! Nick was gone fri and sat for a senior retreat, and sooo my sweet momma came down to help and have some easter good times! and we did!!soo many pics!!

I should also let you know that Kate has decided that she HATES the camera, she hates mine, and she hates the phone one, so any smile you see was completely false or caught on Major accident! Love being a photographer and my child hating the camera! Oh and you should know that my childrens clothing are sponsored by the Gap and all their cuteness that comes to us via Auntie KayKay and dear DeeDee! 









 We then came home got into some play clothes and dyed some eggs!


 This is Easter Sunday. Im real sorry we dont have a good pic of the whole family, that was when Kate decided to have a break down, so no family pics, BUT super cute ones of the babies. Look how big Harper is! She is so sweet!

Coming later! Love you guys! these arent edited so dont judge

Harper Jane














She came to us on a kind of rainy Monday morning, A MONTH ago! February 13, She is just a perfect and pretty as her sister Kate, They came in weighing exactly the same, 6 lbs and 12 ounces! But little miss Harper is a little longer at 19 1/2 inches. You wouldnt know it though, she is SO tiny!! It has been fun, trying and exciting in our house the last month. Harper gels right in, she keeps me up at night of course, but she coos and smiles which makes it much easier :)

Kate has really taken to her, and they are sweet as can be. Kate gives her kisses all the time and likes to hold her when she can. Ill have some stories as I get caught up on these blogs!

But here are some pics from what seemed to be a week ago, but was already a month!! Here is Harpers First day! It was a pretty great day, went in with ALOT of anxiety, not excited for the C-section, but it was fairly easy, great nurses and drs. Came out and ther was my sweet family and friends ready to meet our new bundle!

Here she is!!
