What a Weekend!






What a wonderful time was had yesterday!

The Easter bunny hid baskets and Easter eggs and left a birthday cake that resembled himself. Later in the afternoon Brady found an egg upstairs with Robynn's name on it that contained a $100 bill....Sneaky lil someone??? We got all dressed up and headed to get Will baptized. He was so adorable in his long vintage Christening gown. He smiled and jabbered in Brian's lap throughout mass and then it was over. Did we miss something? When was Will getting baptized? Oops!

Father Jos got so into celebrating the resurrection that he forgot about Will. No worries... he immediately baptized Will with just our intimate group of family and friends. When that ended, everyone headed back to Brian and Robynn's for lunch,birthday cake and presents. Talk about SPOILED! That girl of ours got it ALL! It seemed like we opened presents/cards for hours. Jenny and Derek made her the cutest coaster set that transferred some of Robynn's favorite pictures to a piece of tumble stone tile. DARLING! Her mom got her a facial and had an old,old, old picture of Jenny and Robynn when they must have lived on the prairie and next door to Mary and Laura Ingles. PRICELESS! We got her 2 Web Cam's so she can talk w/ the kids when they are away from her. She got a beautiful plaque from the Harkers that read "What is a friend? A single soul, dwelling in 2 bodies", GORGEOUS handmade scarfs, hats, books and tons more! I think the most precious gift was that of 3 videos that were filmed by Brandy, Kelly and Tim and edited/put together by Bill Haines. One was of multiple families, friends and strangers from Bakersfield sending Robynn their love and prayers. The other 2 were of a song that was written/composed and performed by Robynn's niece Callahan and the other was a her nephew Tanner, dancing like a "Rockstar". She was brought to tears and touched so deeply by all who participated...THANK YOU!

After everything settled down we got manicures from Jenny and got another surprise...Brian and Brady with bald heads almost as BEAUTIFUL as Robynn's! Even Hailey was pushing to have her head shaved, but an ever so bright Brian resisted! Thank the Lord!

It really was EVERYTHING Robynn could have hoped for! Thank you everyone who contributed to such a special day for our girl!

They now are headed to the hospital and I will join them when "Miss P"(Hailey) gets out of school. Until then......

"Army Goodell"you are the BEST!

Pray On!

I WANT A WIG!!!!! Today, I sit and ponder...'How does someone who is going through chemo, radiation, shaves her head.... look so flippin' FABULOUS?????' I want a ROBYNN wig :) What if we all get matching wigs for the ROBYNN FANLAND fan club members??? Would we look as gorgeous as Miss Robynn? I bet Brian would be a bombshell :)
