Getting Ready for Lane - Showered with L-O-V-E

A Shower for

Lane Kristopher

August 13, 2011

Given with Love by

Amanda, Laura and Meredith

The Roberts Family is truly blessed with great friends! We couldn't be more appreciative for the love we received from our friends and family through this amazing journey...again!

"Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life..."

Lane's shower was such a great way to celebrate his beautiful life. Inside of me he was continuing to grow and on the outside, he was stockin' up with cute and re-usable decorations...

Vacation Time!

July 19-23, 2011

We made a family vacay to San Antonio and Landyn was worn out before we even started!

With cousins Don and Emma at Tootie Pie in Boerne, TX

Sweet Teeth of the family with the best pie ever!

Chillin in the hotel

We started our San Antonio vacay at the SA Zoo

Ripley's Believe it or Not Exhibit was interesting...

We took a detour to the Alamo for a few pictures, but it was closed

Across the street we visited the Wax Museum where we posed with Lady Gaga in her famous meat suit,

danced with M.J. through the years...

Studied at Hogwarts,

discussed life lessons with Oprah,

and made speeches at the white house.

The next day we made a trip to Sea World where found Landyn's greatest dream on Earth - Sesame Street's Bay of Play where we met all of her favorite Sesame Street Characters, live!

ABBY (who helped with potty training through book form)

ZOE

We saw a 4-D movie with all of the muppets!

Then we played and swam at the Lil Gators and Lost Lagoons where we saw amazing, singing sea animals

and then went headed back to Bay of Play - we couldn't get enough Elmo and Friends!

She waited and negotiated to get on stage with her "friends"

which worked!

Then we posed with our Family Favorite - we have the same favorite food as this big blue guy...COOKIES!!!

And then it was time to go back to the hotel.
WHAT-A-DAY!

On our way home we decided to stop at Dick's Classic Garage to see the Tucker in person

Tucker - the most advanced car of its time

Landyn had fun too!
