Freebairn Family: Back to School - the NEW school!
http://freebairnfamily.blogspot.com/2013/08/back-to-school-new-school.html
August 21, 2013. Back to School - the NEW school! Michael was OVER-THE-MOON excited for school to start this year. They built a new school for our neighborhood and we've been talking about it FOREVER! Neil Armstrong Academy is a STEM school (science, technology, engineering, math), but we just happen to live in the boundaries and will be lucky to attend. Stephen won't be back home for a few days, so he was sad to miss the excitement. Michael insisted we take pictures of everything. Construction everywher...

Freebairn Family: Back to School
http://freebairnfamily.blogspot.com/2010/11/back-to-school.html
November 01, 2010. Next to Lily, and assured me he needed to do it just the same this year. Although, we forgot his backpack. They've both gotten so big. The best change this year, however, is that a good number of his classmates are his friends from our ward and he's so excited to play with them every day. We all get a kick out of the days when the "stroller brigade" to and from school includes 4- 5 double strollers and piles of younger siblings in tow. If only we had a picture of that!

The Phillips Family: December 2014
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 7, 2014. A Day of Thanksgiving. Sometimes big crowds are difficult for Nathan, but we all enjoy having him near us. Angie is such a good mother for him. We never foresaw the difficulties that Angie and David would face, but the two of them are the perfect parents, probably the only parents who could handle the diverse family they have been given. Nathan loves his mom and would rather be with her than anyone else. Shon has completed a move this year and now has a home on the same street a...

The Phillips Family: Good-bye, Friend
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/11/good-bye-friend.html
Sunday, November 9, 2014. I was privileged to work with Guy in church callings and some with our business connections. There was never a more honorable man to work with. I will never forget this good and righteous man who made such an impact in my life. I look forward to the time when I will see him again. Love you, Man. Hes the best home teacher Ive ever had! Still remember his loving visits from when I was a kid. Im sad to hear hes died- definitely thinking of his family. November 9, 2014 at 9:52 PM.

The Phillips Family: The Monster Tree and the Spirit of Christmas
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-monster-tree-and-spirit-of-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2014. The Monster Tree and the Spirit of Christmas. One by one over the years, each child has taken their ornaments to their new home with their new family, and one by one, we have had fewer and fewer helpers to put up the tree. This year some of our grandchildren came to help us, and some of our kids. Little Jeffrey didn't help much, unless you count the increase in the Spirit that could be felt as we had our own little Christmas child to love. Uh -Oh, here are three little boys pla...

The Phillips Family: Seeds of Grapeness
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/10/seeds-of-grapeness.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. Holy Bunch of Grapes, Batman! It seems "some are born grape, some achieve grapeness, and some have grapeness thrust upon them". William Shakespeare Q. What was purple and conquered the world? A Alexander the Grape. The saga of the grapes continues in Janene's kitchen. We found more grapes to contend with and they are now being turned into various forms of grapeness for our future use. That is not all. Now for a limited time only, you can have BEETS too!

The Phillips Family: September 2014
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. We were painting the house when it started to rain . again. We put away the paintbrushes and decided to go check out a different kind of painting. I thought we were going to head up Little Cottonwood Canyon to look for autumn leaves, but it was already late and I knew that by the time we got there, it would be almost dark. We headed to Farmington Canyon instead. Oh, and those autumn leaves we were really planning on seeing? We saw a few of those too! Tuesday, September 23, 2014.

The Phillips Family: Winter Wonderland
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2015/03/winter-wonderland.html
Saturday, March 28, 2015. Janene and I were able to get away for a couple of days to see Bryce Canyon in "winter". We heard that it had snowed in the southern part of the state, so we made arrangements to stay at Ruby's Inn just outside the park and headed down. Everywhere we looked was an incredible panorama. We took over 1500 pictures and could easily have taken 1500 more. We arrived just in time to watch the sun go down and the full moon come up over the amphitheater. Be still my heart! As we headed h...

Freebairn Family: April 2012
http://freebairnfamily.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
April 23, 2012. Ah, the Backyard! After living in busy Sydney, several stories up over all sorts of shops and stores, it's a true delight to have a backyard again. These little ruffians spend all day in the backyard, getting into anything they can think of! Here the kids were getting Tyler to pose and show his desperate need for a haircut, but they all sort of ended up looking like orphans. . . Michael is a flipping fool and loves to show us his latest tricks on the trampoline. April 13, 2012. He is cert...

Freebairn Family: January 2012
http://freebairnfamily.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
January 31, 2012. January has been a wonderful month settling back into "normalcy" here at home. Daddy's been taking a break with us and it's wonderful to be near friends and family again. Here are a few things that have been keeping the kids busy. Puzzles - Lily can't get enough of them! Michael's been teaching Lily how to ride a scooter, even if it is freezing outside. They just love having a yard again! We're just relieved we don't have to name the new baby Oscar anymore. Tyler didn't seem to remember...
