October came and went sooo fast! Too fast! The weather was amazing though. We lucked out and had the warmer weather for just a little longer! :) We celebrated Danny's 26th Birthday this year and surprised him with a Frankin Stein pinata that was full of some of his favorite candy! Fruities(?) or as we call them Fruity Tooties heheeh, there were also Gob Stoppers and Kit Kat bars. The thing you hang it with came off so we ended up putting a wire hanger through his head which was perfect since it was Frankin Stein. It was fun letting the kids take turns trying to break it open. Then Danny finished it off. It took him Three hits. Target sure makes strong pinatas. We had dinner Pizza Hut Pizza and Hot Wings... just few of Danny's favorite foods! :) We opened presents and then played with them. Danny got Transformers Revenge and a cool Ghost Camera and a Target shooting game. Then we finally cut the cake. I made a Spider cake this year. It was pretty fun. There was a square base and then a dome cake for the spider body. I used licorice for the legs. It looked AWESOME if I do say so myself. I will have to borrow Amanda's camera so I can show you some pictures.
We had our ward party later that week. I was a witch with Taelin. She was by fat a much cuter witch. Brick was a Bronco football player. Danny wore his repeat costume from last year. Barf from Spaceballs. We had a fun time. There are some really creative people in our ward. My visiting teacher and her husband were Popi and Olive Oil. They totally fit the part! :)
Danny's actual Birthday Halloween, I was Paula Abdul and Danny was a Jonas Brother. Taelin was a witch and Brick was a mummy. Our kids looked pretty cute if I do say so. After visiting my family, we went to Danny's cousin's house. The house was totally decked out for Halloween with spiderwebs inside and streamers etc.. There was a TON of food and cookies to decorate! His cousin borrowed a Army Tent like the ones on Mash from a neighbor and decorated it with lights, bails of Hay and director chairs to fit the theme. Another cousin borrowed a DJ music equipment. There was even a fog machine. We had a blast!!! Taelin was dancing with everybody especially Jason (One of Danny's cousins). There were so many fun costumes. Amy Winehouse, Hannah Montana, Scooby Doo, Hippies, Choir members (Danny's parents), Jonas Brothers (Danny and Matt), Phantom (Alex), Kiss, etc... It was fun to see what everyone came up with.
Now it is November and I have raked the leaves THREE times in the past week and a half and am sick of them. They are so beautiful while changing colors and attached to the tree. And are fun to jump into etc... But after raking the leaves for the whole neighborhood because they blow into our yard, I am done with them!
The weather has turned cold which makes me SOOO EXCITED for Christmas. I know I know.... Christmas doesn't start until after Thanksgiving! Oh well... you only listen to Christmas music once every year. Danny and I listen to some everyday and have even started watching Christmas movies! :) We have Taelin even watching Christmas cartoons! :)
Taelin, Brick and I went over to Grandma Bitter's house the other day and picked three boxes of apples and borrowed her dehydrator. We are having fun washing apples and slicing them, soaking them in Orange juice, and then dehydrating them. We tasted the first batch of our experiment last night and they were GOOOD! Danny even took some to school today so that is a plus! :)Now I just have two-three days more of dehydrating to look forward to. :)
Brick took his first steps the other day. I looked over at him and he had pulled the drawer open that holds all of the dvds and was dumping them on the floor and then all of the sudden he lets go and starts waving his hands and took two steps. I know it's not a ton, but it is an exciting start! :) GO BRICK!!! He is growing up tooo fast!
SO NOW FOR SOME SHOCKING NEWS!!! DANNY AND I FINALLY....... ordered our wedding pictures! hahahaha It has only been four years TOMORROW! Life happens too fast! :) I guess that means that I am enjoying my life though! :) Danny has been such a good HUSBAND, support system, FATHER, work horse, ENTERTAINER, decorator,LISTENER, teacher, MOTIVATOR! etc... Thank you babe for FOUR WONDERFUL YEARS OF MARRIAGE you are the BEST!
Thanks for reading! I hope to get my camera fixed soon so that I can start posting pictures again. That's why we all look at each others blogs anyway isn't it!? heheh jk!

Robertson Update!
Hello Everyone!
It has been so long since I last posted. Brick is now 6 months old Taelin two years old and summer is almost over! My my my... where does the time go?!
In April, my dad made a trip to Utah for Conference and to meet Brick! It was so good to see him and my step-mom.
Easter was a blast! We got up early took Danny to work and went to the Provo City egg hunt! Taelin loved it! She got sooo many eggs, it was crazy. It was interesting to find inside; fire balls, hard root beer barrels, butter scotch candies, etc.... They were all hard candies for toddlers! There were a few things that were toddler friendly, but not much. We later had an egg hunt at my Grandmother's house! It was so much fun! Auntie sure knows how to have a good time!
Later that month, we made a trip to California to say good bye to my sister and her kids! Taelin had a blast with her new cousins. This was my first trip without Danny. I drove to CA with my Aunt, it was a fun and busy car ride. If I wasn't attending to Taelin I was to Brick. By the end of the week I was exhausted! Danny and my brother Michael decided to come out to CA and spend the weekend with all of us. It was a wonderful present! I finally got to take a good nap!
We also went to Goblin Valley with Scott, Logan and Amanda! Taelin and Logan were in seventh heaven with all of the dirt! Loads of fun! I was very pleased with this trip to Goblin Valley and glad that it was not a repeat from last year! We had a little scare, but it only lasted about 15 min or so. (The scare is that the wind picked up and the sand started to blow everywhere!)
Also my brother-in-law Matt graduated from High School! Yeah Matt!
June!
Taelin turned TWO! I cannot believe that she is already a toddler! She grew up way too fast if you ask me! We had fun celebrating. The night before, we went to Iggys and she had her favorite food, mini hot dogs. Then for dessert, she got an Ice-cream sundae! She loved it and so did I! :) For her birthday breakfast, we made mini blue berry muffins! She Loved them and blew out the candles on her first try. Well kind of on her first try, they were trick candles, she would have had them out though if they weren't. For her present from mom and dad, we went to build a bear, she didn't really get it, but loves playing with her bear. Later that night we had cake and Ice-cream for family! Taelin got some awesome presents, she got a giant princess coloring book, a princess doll, a dress that Aunt Amanda made! and much more!
July!
Danny and I did the freedom run with my Mom and Briant! It was a fun experience. Danny did really well he ran a 5k in 24 minutes, and that was without training! :) Megan and Lecia camped out so we had a parade spot for the Robertson family and Buckwalter Family. Later we had lunch at the park and played games and then did fire works at the Robertson home! Good times!
Family adventure in Luna, New Mexico! We had a great time. We saw the Gila Cliff Dwellings (long car ride), the Rodgers place ( where we repel and shoot guns), the Box Canyon (like the Narrows). We had a good time. They boys build a standard size soccer goal, a volley ball court, and horse shoe pits. They had a great time. The only thing that was not fun was the FLU.... it went through just about everybody down there! Luckily we all survived and were still able to have a good time!
Our most recent Vacation was to California. My sister Hillary was married August 15th in the San Diego Temple. We first drove to Cayucos California and spent 5 days there with my Dad and Step-mom (Elaine). We had a great time. The weather was cool, but that didn't keep the boys (Michael and Danny and Maile) out of the ocean. We went to look at tide pools, kayak in the bay. We loved exploring Cayucos and spending time with family. We drove down to San Clemente where we spent a few nights at the condo. What a blast. Driving to the wedding was crazy, we some how missed our exit and almost reached Mexico. (there were seven exits left before the border!) We luckily made it in time and Maile stayed with the kids during the sealing. Thank you Maile! The rest of our vacation was in Diamond Bar. First we had a Beach Day in San Clemente! FUN FUN FUN... then we played in the pool, tennis, etc... We had a great time.. However there are not any pictures from this two week vacation. Our camera broke within the first couple of days! :(
Danny turns 26 this month! It's crazy how it feels like we are getting old! hehehe jk. He is now in school at BYU, and works full time. He is currently training for a relay race (Ragnar). He is running it with family :) Flag football is almost over. This week starts the championship games we usually do pretty well as a team so... GO ORANGE CRUSH!!!
Brick has learned to crawl it is soo cute! He is getting faster everyday! He now can pull himself up and stand there. He loves cords!!! Also for some reason the bathroom! He is growing up soo fast! It feels like he was a new born just the other day!
Taelin is learning to sing out loud with me or even by herself, it is soo cute! She also can carry a conversation on the phone with out my help... most of the time. I think that she is starting to realize that there is Great Grandma and Grandma Robertson and Grandma Buckwalter. She has been handling Grandpa's passing pretty well, she still thinks that he is sleeping when we go over to Great Grandma Bitter's house.
As far as I go.... I bought some new running shoes and plan to get fit! It's time that I do something for me. So wish me luck and don't bring me treats! :) Only on Sundays!!!
Thanks for reading! I hope this post finds you and your families well.
Love you all,
Natalie

Photos are going to come later. If I don't get this posted, it will sit as a draft for another six months!

A Morning To Remember!
Today... has been an eventful one! This morning I got a call around 4:00 a.m. from my sister saying that she has been having heavy contractions since 2:00 a.m. and that she needed to go to the hospital. My sister's husband is in Vietnam and is flying in on Sunday, so I went over and picked her up. We drove quickly to the hospital where they monitored her for about 45 min. before deciding that she was in true labor. By this point she was dilated to a 5 and was moved to a delivery room and an anesthesiologist on his way after his C section. By the time the anesthesiologist arrived, Jennie was having pretty hard contractions... To make a short story shorter, she gave birth to Anneliese Marchant by the time the needle had been placed in her back and ready to go! What a trooper Jennie was! The whole time she wasn't allowed to move because of the needle, and she was giving birth at the same time! The the Dr. who was in another room delivering had his hands tied. Luckily there was another Dr. waiting for a C-section in the hall from the same practice. It ended up being the same Dr. that delivered Taelin for me! He was so calm and just stepped right in like he had been there the whole time! Crazy! I got to be the lucky supporter! It was a wonderful experience being able to be there for my sister in her time of need. She was a trooper and proved to herself that she is stronger than she thought she ever could be!
I love you Jennie! Here is a little slide show of our Morning together! Enjoy!

Cont... from Hospital!
So I know that I promised the full story! To pick up where I left off, My Aunt came over to our house to watch Taelin for us! THANK YOU AUNTIE! We went to the hospital and didn't know if we could park in the Valet Parking part of the hospital so we went and parked the car ourselves. Danny held my hand through all of the walking. It sure kept them coming (walking that is). The nurse offered me a wheelchair, but I figured that we were close enough to my room, which we were. While there, she hooked me up to all of the machines. Then told me that I was dilated to a small 4. She said that it was probably enough progress, from my Dr's appointment that morning where I was a one and a half, for me to only be assessed for twenty minutes before being able to get an epidural! YEAH!!! She called the Dr and sure enough, he said it was okay for me to have it! Thank you Dr. Carn! My contractions were right on top of each other! Getting an epidural was not the most comfortable thing this time, but I could imagine worse things. I attribute part of my discomfort while being given the epidural to contractions being sooooo close! I had one while getting it! Not what I had in mind! After the epidural I was dilated to a 5. Then quickly to a 7. My mom who was traveling to Utah from California trying to make it in time for the baby, called and said that they were about 15 minutes away. By the time they got to the hospital I was dilated to a 10 and then twenty minutes later started pushing. Overall I was only in the hospital for two hours before Brick entered our world! Which is a totally different experience from Taelin we were there for 17 hours! not including the day before and the visits through the night for medicine to efface me. Anyway... It was a great experience.
That night I had so much adrenaline that I couldn't fall asleep until 5 am! It was crazy! I know that I must have dosed off few times, but not into a deep sleep!
My mom stayed in Utah to help me with the baby and Taelin for a week and a half! It was so wonderful to have her here! Naps are precious! She helped with cooking, and cleaning! And it was fun to just have her here to catch up and visit also! Thanks mom!
We had wonderful meals brought to us from close friends, family, and ward members! THANK YOU!!!! They were all sooo delicious, and nutritious!
My sister Jennie and her two kids arrived on the 29th of January from Vietnam. She is here in the states to have a baby of her own in March! They are having a little girl! It has been fun to see her!
As for now! I am feeling great! I do get TIRED, but Danny is very good to let me nap when he gets home from school and before he goes to work! In turn he gets to sleep through the night for the most part! heheh you know it is kind of hard to sleep to ear piercing cries! :) We are having a BLAST being parents of two! we are so blessed to have a healthy and happy family! Taelin loves her little brother. Yes she has her moments of jealousy, but she is so in tune to him. She wants to know everything that is going on with him. Brick can see our faces now and we assume that he has a fun time looking at us since he holds his head up to look at you while you burp him! :) Thanks for reading and enjoy the pictures!

Drum Roll Please!!!
We would like to present to you..... BRICK DANIEL ROBERTSON!!!!
Brick decided to join our world this morning Jan 24 2009 at 12:42 a.m. He weighs 8 lbs 3 oz and is 19 and half inches long!
I started to have contractions around 2:00 p.n. on the 23rd and continued until we had him heheehehe.... I called Danny at work around 8:30 to have him tell his boss that he would probably not be into work Saturday morning. Then I called him again at 9:45 p.m. to ASK... BEG... CRY and ask him if he could come home. Danny's boss is the coolest and said sure GO HOME and GOOD LUCK!!! As soon as I got off the phone with my Danny my mom called (who is on her way to Utah from CA) and asked about my contractions they were currently on top of each other they were about 5, 3, and 1 minutes apart. So we had my Aunt come over and stay with Taelin,

New territory!!!
Sooo.... This whole waiting part of pregnancy is new to me! With Taelin I was induced 10 days early so... Waiting these last few days is KILLING ME!! heheeh I think that it doesn't help that (as my husband kindly pointed out to me today) I was/am still wishing for an early baby! Taelin was 9 days early and was 8lbs 8oz I think that if this baby waits any longer he is going to come into this world a 10lb baby! Ahhhhh.... My mom says that if she could handle a 9 1/2 lb baby so can I. Probably true, but I would rather not!
Last Saturday night! 3:00 am to be exact I started to have contractions and they were pretty much about 5 min apart and lasted about 45 seconds each... every now and then they were further apart or they didn't last as long. So but 5:00 am they had slowed down and then stopped! I was nervous and excited I immediately got out my pregnancy magazines to read what really contractions felt like and how long they should be etc... The difference with mine was that not all of them were painful. Some of them just made my stomach ROCK HARD! and then others gave me some discomfort! So My sister Jennie and I decided that they were probably just Braxton Hicks contractions. My sister (Jennie) who lives in Vietnam was awake since it was early evening over there... So I decided to call her instead of my sleeping mother at 2:00 am in California. It was a good thing since my contractions were just for practice! I am so excited for this little boy to come and am some what excited to see what it is like to go into labor rather than being induced!
I have been blessed with an easy pregnancy so far and shouldn't even be complaining about still being pregnant. I am sure that many women would die for an easier pregnancy.... no vomiting, etc... I just get all of the swelling, almost preclampsia (sp?) symptoms and this time carpal tunnel and tendinitis symptoms in my hands. Sooo.... oh and the constant heartburn! Anyway... I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow so we will see how things are coming along! Hopefully this baby will be here soon.... But however things go I hope for the best and pray that he is ready when he comes!

Still Prego!
Still Prego! I am sure loving being pregnant except for the numbness in my hands and the swelling of my feet and the pretty much constant reminder of acid reflux! heeheh I am just lucky that I don't have to suffer with the nausea that most women get! know on wood!
Taelin is growing up sooo fast! She is learning so much and is talking up a storm! I was singing rock a by baby to her this morning after her shower and she would try to say the last word of the phrase that I just sang. Like Baby, Top, Blows, Drop, etc.... It was way cute! She amazes me! Children are sponges! Last night she was so frustrated with me because I couldn't understand what it was that she wanted. Finally I said do you want some milk? and she gets this look on her face like YES!!! and licks her lips and started to make a scrunching motion with both fists over and over! It was so cute! I can't wait till she can say. "Mommy can I please have some milk!"
Taelin has also been sleeping in her big girl bed for a week now! It is so cute to watch her crawl up into bed and lay down and say "night night"! Of course she folds her arms before we get into bed to remind us that we need to pray! Sooo CUTE! I love being a mother!
Last night Danny and I picked up my brother from the air port. He was returning from Christmas Vacation and a Tour of Meso America ( I think that was what he called it) Basically a tour of Guatemala and Mexico. He toured a bunch of sights that are said to be where things took place in the Book of Mormon. He had a blast! It was fun to listen about some of his adventures while there! He was tan (Oooooo I am sooo jealous, I would love to be that tan in the winter!) We had invited him to stay for dinner and invited my aunt over. We had Baked Ziti and home made Celebration bread! I was pretty proud of myself! I not only made bread and the main course, but they tasted wonderful! Maybe my dream of being good wife (cook) will come true! Anyway!!! Time to go my fingers are numb! Love you all thanks for reading!

Happy Birthday to me and Happy New Years too!!!
For my birthday, Danny took me to Denny's for breakfast! We came home and had a relaxing day, Danny did the dishes while Taelin and I took a nap. Later that evening, we went to Provo's first night with JD & Laura, and Celisa & Ian. We had a great time! We watched the fire dancers walked around to see all of the other booths.... Which all had LONG lines... The only line we stood in was for a balloon. Taelin got a monkey and I a penguin. I entered into a bubble gum blowing contest and WON!!! Yep... you read that right! I won! We were each given a five piece package of Bubble Yum and then had to blow the first biggest bubble! I suppose that I was the only one who managed to blow a big bubble! Man! was my jaw sore!!! Five pieces is a lot!!! There were about twenty five other people in the contest, including young... middle and old! I had a great time! After First night, we went to Danny's Uncle's house in Salem! A ton of his cousins were there and we had a blast watching movies, playing games, singing to ROCK BAND and eating, eating, & eating!!!! It was a great way to end 2008! I had a fabulous birthday!
