My cousin got married a few weeks ago. We got to go to the reception that night. We were pretty late and our car was making scary noises but we made in time for saying hellos, donuts, dancing and the sending off. Sweet Rylee clung to me and Joseph danced! In his own way. :)

Something You May Not Know About Me
Ever since my mom got a video camera for Christmas so many years ago I have loved taking video. I can't tell how many times I would take the video camera and film the most random (and boring) things. Like our house.... my bedroom. Or just set the camera down and talk to it. (need a friend much?) yeah, I was weird (still am though)
At my High School Senior Party they had a room full of prizes and they would draw kids' names and those kids could go into the room and pick one prize to take. I was the third of all the kids in my senior year to be called. I had the pick of anything in the room. An Ipod, a TV, a camera, a microwave (o lala). Out of everything what did I chose? The Video Camera!!! Duh! And I used that camera! holidays, crazy college roommate dance parties, and random boring stuff ;)
Sadly all the videos I took disappeared with a bunch of my college stuff that was being stored in a shed that collapsed because of too much snow in Rexburg... (go figure).
Just out of High School I discovered a new hobby. Making videos. Specifically, Music videos with clips from movies or TV shows that I liked at the time (Harry Potter, Road to Avonlea, CSI:NY)
(here's an example of what I mean. Now, mine were no where near this good)
and I understand if you don't watch the whole thing.....or even any of it. I discovered that there are many people who don't like this stuff....but I did. Especially this one....it's so nostalgic to me of books that made me love to read.
You won't find any of these videos anywhere though. I would download the movie or TV clips from Youtube and then use Windows Movie Maker to edit them and put them to music. Not the greatest resources but it's all I had. Because of the way in which I downloaded the clips Windows Movie Maker wouldn't let me save projects into movies. Which meant I couldn't upload them to Youtube and become totally popular with lots of views! (totally kidding) but this made it difficult to save. In order to 'save' them or be able to watch them I had to have every single clip I had downloaded on my computer. If I deleted one clip it would disappear from my video. I eventually deleted them all for two reasons.....
1. It was taking up space on my rinkidink laptop and slowing it down
2. and People didn't like them...
And not so much because they were bad....although that could have been a reason too, but because they thought it was weird and that I, in turn was weird too. The few people I'd get the courage to show them to did not offer me a lot of encouragement. They'd half heartedly watch and then give me, what I felt, was an untrue compliment.
I didn't continue much after that. Maybe it was kind of weird. And probably a lot of wasted time. But I don't regret trying it. It made me further realize what my dream job would be.....Editing.
Movies? sure. But mostly Movie trailers. Which I wasn't sure was even a real job (not just done by a movie editor) until I saw a movie where Cameron Diaz's character edited movie trailers for a living. Awesome!
Also I have always been fascinated with Videography. Most of which you see are wedding videos. or even filming and editing a short documentary type movie.
After the tragic collapse of the shed on my things I still had my camera and had it until more recently. All those videos were on small video tapes. We have about 7 of them and recently have been getting them turned into DVD's at Cody's work. Watching little baby Joseph has been so much fun to watch (poor Rylee - the camera broke just before she came and we don't have nearly as many videos of her :(
All this rambling has a point I promise.
A while ago when I was having a particularly hard time and was getting extremely irritated and angry with poor Joseph I heard a song that brought me to tears and made me stop and remember that Joseph is just a little boy and doesn't try to annoy me and he won't be little forever. The song is called Hourglass by Mindy Gledhill (You can listen to it on my grooveshark player on the sidebar) I love this song. And so does Joseph he loves the part that talks about Peter Pan. Once I heard the song I knew I wanted to make a video for Joseph of him from when he was a baby until now. But that thought quickly left with so many other things on my mind (namely, school)
A couple of weeks ago Cody gave me a blessing (which I ask for a lot) and in it I was advised to develop talents that had laid dormant for awhile and to get the kids involved in my hobbies. At first all I could think of was Scrapbooking which I used to do. And I have no interest in doing that again. Also I couldn't figure out how to get the kids involved in a hobby of mine. Hobbies are supposed to be just for me....right? And then, as I was thinking about it a couple of days later I thought of how I always loved to make videos, something I had stopped doing but was always in the back of my mind. And the blessing made more sense and I knew how to involve the kids!
I made my first steps toward achieving this goal last Friday. The kids and I went to Cody's work with him and I put in a movie for the kids while I tried to work on my video. Rylee is just not that easily distracted so we didn't get much done. We've also been renting DSLR cameras from Cody's work so I can take video of the kids just being themselves to use in the videos.
I'm really excited about this and I will keep you updated.
The two videos I could upload because I own the pictures. They are picture slideshows which are not my favorite and they are kind of cheesy and lame, but hey! The Family one I made on the plane to Disneyworld!

Lesson to learn: Even if someone is doing something you think is weird.... please support them if it is something they love. You never know what it can turn into! :)

Bands in the Park
Emilee and Mark and Family came up during the Fourth of July. Mark's family was having a sort of reunion with a wedding, blessing, and baptism all going on. So we didn't see them everyday they were here. But when we did it was such great fun! We are so glad we got to spend time with them.
The Monday before the Fourth we met them at the Park for the free Bands in the Park event that happens in the summer. The band was really talented and I guess the kids thought so too...
Joseph and Eve started it off.
Them all gettin' into it! I loved it I thought it was one of the cutest things ever! Love these kids.

Behind the Scenes
of this picture
This the picture I put on facebook to announce first to my sisters and then to the rest of the friends on facebook about us being pregnant.
The idea came to me late at night the day we told our parents.
It just seemed so hilarious to me (and still does) to show them in nothing but their underpants! I also figured some might be weirded out, some would think it was funny, some would just ignore the picture and take delight in another cute Robles coming *wink* and some would think nothing at all of it. I didn't really care. I wanted to do more for our family history sake.
I borrowed a cloth diaper from a gal in my ward. She had some really cute ones but I went for neutral since I still don't know if this baby will be a girl or boy yet.
The kids wanted nothing to do with this picture. First of all, I think they were a bit weird-ed out that I was making them strip, and then they just wouldn't hold still.

| Run a way! |
After being naked for a while they began to act like little cave men (and woman) Rylee ran around screaming and Joseph was just mad and grumpy and didn't want to be around us!
After I let them cool down a bit I noticed they had migrated to the shade of the trees near the playground. So I coaxed them to just sit near each other and dropped the cloth diaper down next to Rylee and snapped like crazy before they could run away again! It was really cute and fun though! :)

Splash Pad
There are only two in town! which considering how big this place is and how congested with little ones seems completely weird to me. And they aren't like the ones from home either. But the kids still LOVED it.
Even with them slipping and falling tons. The ground is a little too slick if you ask me. Just see how Rylee got knocked over! The injustice! (No, the boy was nice... he did ask if Rylee was okay)
Rylee had to warm up to it and eventually sat with us. Joseph loved it and was running all over the place!

What We Did at Lunch
Head on over to our Vimeo account and see what we did during lunch today! You will need a password to watch it. It's the same I sent out to y'all. If you don't remember or never got the message on facebook just send me a message and I will let you know what it is. Honestly, I really don't mind just about anyone I know watching so please don't hesitate to ask. I just don't want it floating around on Vimeo for all to see and scrutinize since it's just a family video and nothing professional like most things on there.
I know it's weird that I put some videos on here and others on Vimeo. That is because video we take with the DSLR won't upload on here (I'm not technically minded enough to know why)
I seriously need to start working on the Video I have in mind for Joseph using the Hourglass song on my grooveshark playlist.

He just gets so tired.....
He just gets so tired.....
And Rylee loves to watch her brother sleep apparently.

Two Little Monkeys
They LOVE the two little monkeys song and we spent an afternoon having a little show were Joseph and Rylee took turns singing it.
Rylee's turn..of course they started fighting about it!
One little monkey swinging in the trees
Teasing Mr. Alligator
"You can't catch me!
You can't catch me!"
Along Comes Mr. Alligator
Quiet as can be and...
SNAP

What Rylee Does on Sunday Afternoons
This was Rylee last Sunday after church...and pretty much every Sunday after church. I feel so bad but I want her to eat a little something before hand so she wont be starving when she wakes up.

Validation
Sweet Video! Validation is something we could all hear. I'm not great at it but this video has inspired me to bet better at that!

Austenland
- "Obsessed with the BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice", a woman travels to a Jane Austen theme park in search for her perfect gentleman."
No trailer yet...just these two clips...
I am sooo excited for this movie to come out! It showed at Sundance this year(Wish i could have gone!).
Read about Stephaine Fowers' near viewing of the movie here. (She did eventually see it)
I loved the book by Shannon Hale (who writes one of my favorite books Princess Academy).
Made by three awesome LDS women
Written By Shannon Hale
Directed By Jerusha Hess (Wife to Jared Hess director of Napoleon Dynamite)
Produced By Stephanie Meyers (Twilight author...duh)
You know it's gonna be awesome!
I still haven't figured out when it's coming out to General Public Viewing But I will definitely let you know!
