Aggie Game Day

Hey there! I am sorry it has been so long since my last post. We have been super busy here at the Robinson house.

This past Saturday all the guys went to the Aggie Game. We played Mizzou (I think) and we lost. So, we had a few angry Americans around our house... but they all had a great time.

We are turning it into a yearly tradition that all the guys go to the Aggie game and all the girls can go shopping.

The girls had a great time. It was me, my mom, Dusty's mom, Krystin (my brother's girlfriend) and Owen. Yes, Owen had to come with us. There is no way he could sit through even half the game. The guys had pretty good seats. They were actually really close to where the team runs out of the locker room.

We just got rid of this camera... time for a new one. Look at that blurry spot on Blake's face. ARG!

Gig 'Em, Ags!

Reid: Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2026

Blake: Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2027

Owen: Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2030

Whoop!

Future linebacker or yell leader!

Claire and Brent, continued...

Claire chose mainly yellow flowers to stand out against the periwinkle dresses her bridesmaids chose.
Small potted herbs in burlap sacks lined the aisle in the chapel at Antique Rose Emporium.

The happily married couple!

Cute idea for a drink station.

It was very hot the day of Claire's wedding. Iced coffee and lemonade... so cute!

Hope you got some fun ideas for a spring or summer wedding...

Hugs,

A fun day at the Fair!

It is fair week here in Washington County! If you haven't gone yet... get over there. It's the time of year to get your fix of fried food, cotton candy, animals, carnival rides, and tractors... there are plenty of tractors! We had fun today!

Yee-Haw, ya'll!

Have fun!

One of my Favorites!

Hi! I am so excited to get to post this wedding. This was a wedding at Rose Emporium that I did the flowers for this summer.

A little backstory... I have now done three weddings for three girls in the same family. This was the most recent of the three.

I have grown to really love this family, this young couple in particular.

They have huge hearts, serving both locally in thier own town, but also in Haiti.

All the pictures were taken by Kelly Hornberger. She is an awesome photographer here in Texas.

Please check out her website at http://www.kellyhornberger.com/.

One of the most enjoyable things about my job has been the people. The brides, the moms, the families, the other professionals...

You are right, my job is Awesome!

The ceremony and reception were held at the Antique Rose Emporium.

This was one of the candleabras at the ceremony in the little chapel on site.

This is the covered pavillion where most of the dining tables were set up.

This family really paid attention to every detail. Everything was already so cute before I got there with all these flowers... they were like the icing on the cake!

Sign in table.

I really tried to use alot of fresh herbs and other freshly picked materials to accentuate the flowers in a natural way.

Some of what I used: rosemary, lemon verbena, mint, parsley blooms, and plumosa fern.

The two family rows of chairs at the cermony had cute little floral bouquets attached with ribbon.

Claire is such a beautiful woman! How chic and elegant!

Thank you Claire, and mom Amy, for letting me be a part of this special day. Your family is awesome, I love you all.

Claire and Brent... hold on tight. You are in for the adventure of a lifetime!

Most posts to come, I have been working a ton!

Hugs,

A Crimson Rose Wedding

This was a wedding a few weeks ago here in Brenham. The bride really loved the 'black magic' roses, along with plenty of lush crimson red roses. Her accent colors were silver, black and cream. It was a really simple and pretty wedding.

The ceremony was at First Baptist Church in Brenham. And the reception was at Ant Street Inn. I really like Ant Street Inn. It was big enough for a large wedding, but still felt intimate. Every other pew had candles and river rocks in glass cylinders.

Rose balls were hung off the pews by black ribbon.

This was just a pretty shot of my "supplies" as I loaded my car on my way up to the church!

Sorry for the poor picture quality... once again, the only camera I had was my cell phone!

Have a great week!

A Funny Thought for Today...

Owen this summer

July 2010

Owen the night we picked him up from the airport.

August 27th, 2009

Hey there! I can't believe it is already time to go back to school. Even on the days I am exhausted and really can't take one more screaming match (the boys, not me) or one more spilled cup of red Kool Aid on the carpet, I realize that I will miss them when they go back to school.

It was our first summer with Owen home and it was a blast. Owen is actually an excellent swimmer, at 19 months old, yelling "CANNON BALL" and jumping head first into the pool w/his little arm floaties on. That is his way: he is fearless.

Reid will start Kindergarten and Blake will be in PreK. Where has the time gone?

I am so proud of them, they are becoming such sweet little men. But, trust me, they are all boy.

A funny quote from Reid two nights ago in bathtub. All three boys still pile into the same bathtub. It's fun to watch all those legs try to snake in there, knowing the days of sharing a tub are nearly gone.

So, Reid and Blake were apparently arguing over something... a toy? a popsicle? a popsicle stick? a washrag? a bar of soap? who knows. Finally, Reid looks over at Blake and says, "Blake, let's just shake hands, and let pythons be pythons."

And he was dead serious.

Are you kidding me?

Just a prime example of why I love my job!
