it's been a while...



wow- I am not a very good blogger lately, but I do however have a pretty good "excuse"....
We have lots going on in the Roberson family lately. First of all we had a big move (that is not quite all the way over...) Cody got a new job for NRCS in Silver City, NM! So we packed up... (well "we" actually didn't do much of the packing, a moving company came and packed us and moved us!) which was such a blessing from God cause I haven't been feeling so hot lately. So Cody started his job in Silver while we are looking for a house, and Abs and I are staying with my parents till we find a house and get settled. We were very sad to leave Southern CO, we have had a wonderful 2 years there and we are praying we get to go back- BUT for now, God has us back in NM- which is not all that bad, since we are only 2 hours from our family!! Which will be so nice especially come January.... yep- we are having another BABY!! Abs is going to be a big sister!! We are all SO excited!!
Abs is 18months and thriving=0), she is SO busy and SO much fun! Wow, you think your life is busy when you have a baby- WAIT till you have a toddler- I had no idea what was coming, but we spend most of the day chasing around our little explorer, climber, swimmer, talker, dancer, and MS. Attitude (she doesn't get that from her mom.. ) we couldn't ask for a better life, she is so precious and we are SO blessed to be her parents. (just remind me of that when I am spanking her for tell her mommy "No" when I ask her to do something=0)
But God is faithful- and I need to keep trusting and leaning on him in this whole new world of parenting!! Abigail belongs to Him- what a relief!!

Resurrection Sunday!

Happy SPRING everyone!! And more important Happy Resurrection Sunday!! We had a wonderful Easter starting out early in the morning as we joined our brothers and sisters in Christ at a sunrise service! We drove out to a couple's house that overlooks the whole montezuma county and LaPlata mountains and watched the sun rise over the clouds and watched the light burst forth a Glorious morning!! We then had a wonderful breakfast potluck and fellowship. Then we headed home so sleepy little abigail could have a morning nap and so we could get ready for Easter service at 11. This was also the fist service in our new sanctuary!! What a wonderful service and a wonderful reminder of what Christ has done for us and how the grave does not hold him- because he has RISEN!!
We ended the service with one of my favorite songs "because He lives". I love that song because it always reminds that me that we can face uncertain and tough days ONLY because HE lives and HE is alive today! Praise His Holy name!!
I am going to attach the word to this song so you can read them and be encouraged!!
          God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
          He came to love, heal and forgive;
          He lived and died to buy my pardon,
          An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
            Chorus
            Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
            Because He lives, all fear is gone;
            Because I know He holds the future,
            And life is worth the living,
            Just because He lives!

          How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
          And feel the pride and joy he gives;
          But greater still the calm assurance:
          This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

            Chorus
            Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
            Because He lives, all fear is gone;
            Because I know He holds the future,
            And life is worth the living,
            Just because He lives!

          And then one day, I'll cross the river,
          I'll fight life's final war with pain;
          And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
          I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

            Chorus
            Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
            Because He lives, all fear is gone;
            Because I know He holds the future,
            And life is worth the living,
            Just because He lives!

Now being a mom and holding precious Abigail in my arms I am even more touched and encouraged that she can face the future no matter what it holds because our Savior Lives!!

It's been a while...

since I have had time to blog!! We have been so busy and been having so much fun with our little Abigail- who is not so little anymore!!
The last month Abs has really started to grow up! She talks A TON ( pretty much repeats everything you say) she also using sign language, but she prefers talking! She runs, plays tons of games, read books to herself (in a language we don't understand), loves to swim, love to play at the park- when its not freezing, loves to be on the go, and of course LOVES to have all the attention. Everyones attention. We joke, cause when we go somewhere and someone doesn't pay attention to her or give her high five, she stares at them with a very confused look ("why isn't that person talking to me, or saying how cute I am, or giving me high five?")
Our precious little bundle is a handfull! She is very busy and on the go 24-7. I am a pretty high energy person and she wears me out everyday.
Abs and I got to go on a super fun trip last weekend, we went to San Antonio to watch Lizzy swim in her last swim meet the WAC championship! We also got to see almost the whole family, and do lots of fun shopping! Abs LOVED the swim meet and cheers for all the girls and made lots of new friends. Lizzy KICKED butt, and we are SO proud of her for finishing her college D1 swimming career with her best times and winning the mile!! Love you little Lizzy! Here are a few pics from the weekend.
Ok mom caved a bit and abs had her first candy....
Team Lizzy! We are only missing Cody and Josh!

Grams bought Abigail a doll, and she carried that little doll around all weekend and kissed it and loved on it.... so cute....





Lizzy after she won the mile!! What a wonderful weekend!!

For valentines Cody and I had a wonderful date at our church sweetheart banquet!



We took abs to an acoustic concert in Mancos, a band from Grand Junction was in town and Cody won tickets! She had so much fun and danced around the whole show! We do have video footage of the dancing so I will see if I can upload some of it!


And here are a few pics of abs doing two of her favorite things.... swimming and hanging with aunt maggie (aaagggiee as abs says it)




Love to you all! Have a wonderful March!! Spring is right around the corner- and we
CAN"T WAIT!!!
