A cute picture

Ruby's new favorite piece of furniture. She loves sitting up and looking around. She seems to be a very alert baby. Isn't she cute?

Thanks to Lori and Hunter for passing the chair down.

On a side note, I went kayaking today after work. Got to love the N. Fork of the American River. Good times with Joe and Corey.

Ski day 2 for the Rubster

Lora, Ruby and I went back up to Truckee to visit again with the Childress and Ellis families. We had a great day skiing up Mt. Tamarack (9,882ft) near Mt. Rose, NV. Ruby bagged her first peak! The weather was exceptional, nice and warm but not too warm to really mess up the snow. Again, Ruby slept on the ascent and kind of woke up for the ski down.

It was a great day out and a fun ski down. It's crazy how many people we've run into that said they did the same with their babies. One even told me that he would bring booby popscicles with him to give to his girls when they went backcountry skiing. Lucky for Ruby and myself her mother enjoys skiing as much as we do.

More uphill skiing

I went skiing the following day as well. Much bigger ski down with Greg Speicher and Jim Barrett.

Bath Time again!

Well the Robinsons are doing well. Ruby is growing so tall and very quickly. Many people can not believe that she is only 10 weeks old.

We got a chance to go kayaking together as a family this past weekend. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Tracy Soule for running our shuttle and babysitting Ruby. I have to admit that because Ruby is kinda cute people sure don't seem to mind babysitting. Of course Ruby would have to have a giant poo while we were on the river. Sorry Tracy.

The person who made it all happen, Tracy.

We did a quick lap on the N. Fork of the American River, a fun Class 4. We had a great flow and although Lora hadn't kayaked since New Zealand a year ago you wouldn't have noticed.

How can you not love this face?

Happy baby after a family shower.

Just a quick little video of what else? Kayaking

A 3 minute video a buddy shot the other day. Joe and I met up with them for the waterfall huckfest. Back home just after lunch. a great morning. In case you're wondering I'm in the lime green boat with the blue helmet.

We are officially a family

For valentine's day Lora officially(legally)became a Robinson. It was a great gift. Now Ruby will not be confused.

It was fun.

Well, with 69 votes and many more e-mails it looks like you guys have come to the same conclusion as we had before we put the poll up. Ruby looks like her parents.
I want to just say thanks to all of our friends and family members that voted. It was really fun to see the US map light up with blue and orange. We heard from many of you via e-mail as well. Some of you from as far away as Asia, Australia, and Europe. The bottom line is no matter where you live we need to come out for a visit.

Stay tuned for more polls ranging from steak or chicken to snow or water skiing.

A little poll for our enjoyment

So I'm trying this poll function out. Just vote and click. At first it may not seem like it registered but it did! Click on the "see how others in your state voted" tab and you get some cool graphs come up.

Choose wisely. You only get one attempt at it. Scroll down to the previous post to see the pictures if you haven't already.



I'm not sure if you will find this U.S. map as cool as I did. But who cares it's my blog. Only kidding. Sorry about the white background being too big but I just can't seem to find the correct HTML code to fix it.
The state with the most participation will receive a large stimulus package.
