Puppy Love

Victoria Haskell is going to be mad at her Nanna for posting this, but I thought it was too cute. Hope everyone is enjoying their "between week" , eating up all of the Christmas goodies and enjoying the kids (or the sounds of kids) home for the holidays!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!

Thank you, each and everyone who took the time to get together for our annual family Christmas gathering. Robbie, Noella, Shannon and Channing. Dayna, Randen and Alohi. Bobby, Linn, Chels and Robert, Lolly, Puni, Tori, Tris and La'i. Jackie, Kel and Keven. Scott and Stacey. Tita, Ross, Tiana and Sachi...and our friends. Hope you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you at Jack and Kel's for the New Year Celebration!

Bobby and Mommy..thanks, Linn for this pic!

Ross and Nikki...feeling the joy of the season!

Robert and Tristan having fun...Uncle Bobby, can you make a real tether ball pole for the kids?

Gramma and the kids having a laugh! Randen and Alohi...

Check out Tiana's eyes...yeah she is getting tired of Aunty Connie bugging them with the camera..like the Paparazzi..hee, hee! Alohi, Tiana and Sachi.

Lolly grinding...there were some awesome grinds. Noella made delicious Puerto Rican Rice (I don't know how to spell it correctly) and Pork and Peas, yum! Jackie made awesome Shoyu Pork and Bobby and Linn made delicious Portuguese Bean Soup...and there was so much more! Thanks everyone!

Cousins being too cool for the camera =)!

Uncle Scott, listening intently!

Mr. and Mrs. Harrington...still smiling after all these years!

Da Pahtee!

Just a reminder to all who are able to make it. The Robertson (and friends) get together tonight at Jackie and Kel's. Lots of food, fun and LOVE! See you there.

Mele Mele

Unfortunately the clouds came swiftly in, just as I was removing my camera from it's case...Murphy's law! If you peek between the clouds, you can see the snow on Mauna Kea. But still, I just love this view that I can get on a clear day, taken right after I pass Pzyck (sp?) road on the way to my house . I promise to get some better shots during the "season". I wake up to 60 degree weather every morning now, some days it gets warmer, some days it stays the same and has dropped to as low as 54. Okay, you Yakima and Nevada people are probably thinking "woosy, woosy" Hawaiians, but our houses no more insulation! Anyway, I do hope that your holidays are filled with peace and joy, as we all remember the real reason for the season!

Be safe, Robertsons..and God Bless.

Wedding Bells, Baby!

Look what I found when going through all of my pictures the other day...cute yeah? I still wasn't brave enough to get close to the subjects..heh heh, yeah that's photographer's talk...and I didn't have a zoom lens at the time, so maybe Scott and Stace have to do it all over again! Anyway, hope everyone's holiday season is going well.

Thanksgiving on Moho Road

Another nice day at Kel and Jackie's home. The food was excellent, the laughter was abundant and best of all, the family and friends.

I was there with all, and I mean all of Jack and Kel's Ohana...how cool ha? Dayna and Darren brought Darnell and Laura (friends). The Harrington kids spent their traditional day with their dad, and of course Pili and Liko are on Oahu. Scott and Stacey spent the day with Tutu and Papa John. Pop and Sally, of course in Washington and all of the Landgraf's with their ohana. Of course, our hearts are always together!

These are the some of the pics that I was able to document (oh, and Alohi was my guest photographer for some....good eye, she get!). If you have pictures of your event, I would love to post them on our Robertson blog, so that we can enjoy your Thanksgiving too! (Aye, I going send Hawaii Hochi photographers to your house pretty soon if you no send some pics...and they are about 100 years old, so you know what kind camera they going use..hee! hee!)

Anyway, hope your day was an awesome one.......

A big Robertson hug to all!

Dear Family,

I have added a few more pics of Pop, Papa, Uncle Scott's visit.
This very grassroots blog is my attempt to have something that serves as a common ground for the Robertson clan. Hopefully, over the next couple of days, it is a place that we all have taken a few minutes to visit and to just think about one another, and hopefully in doing so a little bit of joy and love will fill our hearts!

Although we won't all be together for the Thanksgiving holiday, I know that we always are, in heart. So have a happy and safe day, enjoy the ono food and know that we are blessed to have each other!

A hui hou!

Connie

Good Old Robertson Hug!

Aloha Pop, Papa, Uncle Scott

You wouldn't believe how long it took to upload this pic..hee! hee! Shannon and Channing are missing because she had to run to her office...but I have pics of them to post.

It was a great day! Pop, Papa, Uncle Scott...enjoyed himself, ate lots of local food and just smiled and laughed as he watched all of the family. Yes, we are a bunch of comedians. Thank you to everyone who made this a special day for him. To all who couldn't be there, we knew that you were there in spirit as it sure was a complete day! Aloha to everyone...Imua Robertsons!

Yakima comes to Hawaii

Yep, the great one is back for a quick visit. He will be in town on Veteran's day, for a few hours, as he and Sally and Sally's sister and brother in law are on a cruise...how cool! We are looking forward to getting together at the Moho Road house~the Lee's that day for lunch. We are so blessed to have him around! Hope to see those of you who can make it, there!

Guess Who?

Yep, she's a cutie alright and all grown up now. I really believed that God sent me a live baby to play with when I would visit in the summer. Those rubber baby dolls just didn't cut it any more.
Big hint: she's the baby!
