Strawberry Days
Ben took the 4 oldest kids to the Strawberry Days Carnival on Wednesday night! I opted to stay home with the babies. We ate Strawberries and Cream all week and then we went to the parade Saturday morning. Good times!
Month: June 2015
Waffle Love
I finally tried WAFFLE LOVE
It was delicious. I am a fan.
cutest baby
Raymond Adapts
Ray had a little set back with the new baby arrival. Specifically, he has been peeing his pants and refusing to eat dinner. We’ve played hard ball and done a little bribing and 4 weeks later he seems to be getting back to his normal self. He still doesn’t love dinner but he’s learning that it is family time and he can’t live on pop tarts or mom gets angry.
oh yeah, he really likes sneaking into our bed in the early morning hours also…
He has also been pretty crazy… kind of fun crazy.
Robertson’s
When my mom comes to town that usually means other Robertson’s will also be coming to town. This month has not disappointed: MOm brought Tracie and Kelsey with her. Ryan dropped his girls off with Joel and Megan for the week. Michael happened to be in the area after a trip to Yellowstone. Shannon came down to play with us. Liz and her kids came for a night and Sean and Brady made a few appearances! I love this family!
My kids were sufficiently entertained. REALLY, THEY HAD A BLAST. And I was able to relax and enjoy the week and not lose my patience. Thank you family for all of your help.
Splash Pad
Mom and Tracie and Kelsey and Michael and Megan all helped take my kids to the splash pad. I went and sat in the shade and let everyone else feed and chase my kids. They had a blast with lots of cousins:
fishing
The older kids got to go fishing with Dad and grandpa!
Except Benji was sick so he got to go the next week with Grandma and Grandpa and Micah and Kiah!
4 Generations and his name sake
Here is our 4 generations picture. I am lucky to live so close to my grandparents!
Tiago Ford Nettesheim is named after my Grandpa: Arden Ford Johnson.

My Mom
My mom came to help when Tiago was born! She was on a tight schedule again this year. She’s getting harder to schedule with all of my other siblings fighting for mom time and babysitting and her friends think they like to go on vacations and this year her parents needed to take her on a cruise in June. She came saturday night the 6th and went home friday morning the 12th.
Mom and the crew came on Saturday night!
It ended up being good timing for me. She came on Saturday night when we had been home a few days and started to get settled and the neighbors had brought us food and … then I just let her take over… and let Ben go back to work and gave all my Netty family a little break.
I love having my mom around. She has so much energy she puts me to shame. She comes in and makes the motherhood job look easy! She cooks and cleans and plays with the kids and with me 🙂 I’m grateful that she makes a point to come each time we have a baby.
