The Robidoux Family: 2011

A brief sum up

Lyllianna's 2nd birthday was a hit! We got a princess bounce house and a snow-cone machine, as well as our face painter from the first year! She had so much fun!

We found out in November that we were expecting another baby. We were hoping for a boy, but God blessed us with another girl! Her name is Abrielle Jayne. She looks just like her sister!

We went to the polar express in 09 and 10. Lylli didn't know much about it the first year we went, but in '10 she got scared going through the "tunnel" because it was so loud (they had everyone scream and clap). Hopefully this Nov. '11 she'll have fun!

Halloweens have been full of activities and candy. Lylli's first halloween she was a cute little flower. Her second Halloween she was a rennacance princess. This year she was Cinderella, and Abrielle was a little Devilina. They were both so cute. We went to a couple parties at friends' houses, and we went to Tolmochof Farms to go through the corn maze and pic out pumpkins as well as ride the 4wheeler train. Lylli had a ton of fun, Abrielle decided to sleep the whole time we were there.

Throughout the years we've been to California to the beaches. We went with my mom (grandma) for her soccer tournaments. We played at the park and even went to the mall.

Hopefully we've got most of it. LOL. Hopefully during naptimes we can start updating this a little more for those few that follow us!

I will add pictures to this post soon.

Bragging about Lyllianna

Lyllianna is currently 23months. Her birthday is next month and we're sooo excited! Her first year was amazing! She was the best baby anyone could ask for. Very smart and hit her "milestones" early. We never did record exactly when any of her milestones happened. We might have them in her babybook. She started walking about 10days before her first birthday, and after that she was on the go! She's learning her ABC's and Numbers. She loves to point out colors, and loves animals. Her new fascination is with our bearded dragon whom we've named Blaze. She loves the water, and is so independant now, that we have to be very careful what we teach her. She has a wide vocabulary and amazes us everyday with new phrases and words we didn't even know she knew!

April 15, 2009

On August 20, 2008 we found out that we were pregnant!! We were not expecting this, so it came to us as a surprise. We do not believe any gift from God is an "oops". We began to think of how we were going to make our lives better, so we decided to move back from CO. Just in time too. Ambyre's dad became very ill and we're so happy we were able to be with him for the last few weeks of his life. He passed away on Thomas' birthday, December 3, 2008. We miss him dearly, but we know he's in a better place.

Lyllianna Rhea was born at St. Joseph's hospital at 7:28AM weighing 6lbs 5.4oz, and 18.5inches long. Her blood sugar was low, so she had to go to the nursery for a few hours until her sugar levels came up. Ambyre was stuck in the first stage of labor for just over 2weeks!! Finally she had had enough and just as we got admitted into our room, her water broke! She was in active labor for 18 hours, and then pushed for about 45mins. Then we welcomed little Lyllianna to the world!!! She was so small and fragile, we couldn't believe she was here!! She was a great baby! Hardly ever cried, slept alot, and smiled often. It was very easy to please her. She wasn't much, nor is now either a cuddler. She likes her space and independence..

Below are pictures of Ambyre's dad, and of our baby girl when she was born!!
