The Robnett Zoo

I haven't posted about Saylor for a while now.It is not because I don't think about her. I do.  A hundred times a day.  Every thing reminds me of her. Every joyful moment has a cloud over it because our littlest is not here with us to experience it.  A perfect example is we took the littles to the Pumpkin Patch last week end (post coming soon). Saylor was suppose to be there. I had planned it all those months ago. I had preordered the girls matching smocked out fits just for this day.  I actually put going off almost to long. They were down to under 15 pumpkins. But I knew I would regret not going and making these memories with my three.  So we went. I look at the pictures and I know my heart was not in it.  There are days I still feel like I am going through the motions. Just trying to get to the next. I know my daughter is still alive out there. But she is not "Saylor" any longer. I do not know if she is safe or being taken c...

He gives the barren woman a home, making her a joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord! Psalms 113:9 I stood on this verse for 17 long years along with Psalms 37:4. Even though I was blessed with a beautiful daughter, my Sara, my heart knew that I was to have other babies. I am so thankful for the journey that begin three years ago when Ollie came to live with us and we started the road of adoption to bring our two littlest home.  It has not been a easy road, but one I am so thankful to had the privilege to of traveled on. We are truly blessed!

It is amazing how the  small, overall unimportant choices we make everyday can change our lives. Four years ago this week I made one of those seemly unimportant choices.   I went to a new girl to have my nails done. (I have actually known Beverly for years. Her (now ex)boyfriend worked at the salon one of my best friends ((Tye)) worked at, but really never got to know her well. She had just started at the salon herself) Simple enough. No big deal, right? I mean really, I have had probably, I don't know, fifteen plus nail techs in my life. Who would ever think anything big would come out of this.  Not me. Just pretty hands:)  I do not even know how the conversation got started, but I was sharing with her the baby we lost just that summer {a CPS adoption} and the girl who tricked us just the year before and tore our hearts out {this story is something right out of Lifetime.. I will share it someday} Any ways.. As I was pouring my heart out she...

Another month has passed. What does that mean.. It means we are one  month closer to my sweet boy being 4 years old. Everyday I see less and less of my baby and more and more the little boy he is becoming. My heart swells with love and pride every time I look at him.  Colt is just exploding with cuteness. His vocabulary is really growing and he says the cutest things Here are a few of my favorite:  Disappeared... MISappeared  The other day at school the CDO director asked Colt "How are you" He said "I'm CUTE!" ..Ha! When we dropped Lilly of in her class he told her "It's ok sister. We will be back. Have a good day at your school. You look Boo-T-ful . Love you"  ... total sweetness This is my silly boy's new way of eating his meals.  But hay.. at least he does not put his elbows on the table..Ha! Such a silly boy His teachers tell me that he is so polite and sweet. That he has the best manners...

As I have said before we are all about High School Football in Midland. And nothing is more intense then when Lee and MHS play. Doesn't Lilly look like a little doll?!  This is actually Brenna's uniform from when she was little. I wish I could find a picture of her in it. I thought it would be cute to get a picture of Lilly with a MHS cheerleader. She was not impressed.Ha.. But what you do not see it Colt went up to the girl and gave her a big hug. Brenna is really showing the teen attitude. She did her best to make us all as miserable as she was. But hey, on the bright side, we have only 6 more years of this *sigh* I did not have my zoom lens, but this is a pic of Jeff's high school mentor, Doc Dodson being inducted into the Midland Hall of Fame. It was such a special moment. Awww.. Pizza picnic Yummmm.. Cotton Candy One of Jeff's old teachers Add caption Sadly w...

I love the start of Fall for many reasons.  A few of those reasons are that there just seems to be so much to do. September Fest.The Air Show. Trade Days. Pumpkin Patch. Fiddlesticks Farms. Just to name a few. This Saturday was a crazy busy day. Oliver had his first sleep over at our house so that was fun. We headed to Stanton Trade Days first thing in the morning.  As always Jeff enjoyed being in his home town and seeing old friends. Jeff with his best friends twin sister and her husband I love what a "boy" Colt is. He just loves to show off to his Mommy by jumping. Yummy.. Ice Cream My silly oldest boy Then we went to the Air Show. It was so much fun watching the boys get excited over the planes. We got them these little planes and jets and you would think we gave them one made of gold. The boys where flying theirs all around. Colt would say"May Day. May Day.. I'm going down" and pretend he was going ...
