It's been a long time...

So it's been over a month since our last post and we've been busy traveling and hosting friends and family at our home! It's pretty much been like the Robertson Bed and Breakfast. We might as well hang up a sign and make it official!It's been wonderful but these next couple of weeks, we will be staying around here and exploring KC for ourself.

The first weekend in May, I took a weekend and traveled with my good friend, Jacylyn, to Kentucky to stay with some old friends in Lexington and then go to the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs!


The next weekend in May, my parent's came up to Kansas City to visit and spend Mother's Day with us. We discovered our favorite KC barbeque joint, Oklahoma Joe's! The food is AMAZING, and but the best part of the whole thing, the location we first visited was in a gas station! Seriously, it's good!


The next weekeend was graduation at MU, we didn't get a chance to make it back to the actual ceremony but got to stay at Stauffer's uncle's awesome house in Jefferson City. Stauffer and lots of his family came up for his graduation and commissioning! Fun memories with friends, very tasty food, and one crazy uncle=a GREAT weekend!


Next, Mom and her friend Mrs. Younkin and her daughter Leah came up to visit! It was a fun girls weekend and Jeff was a trooper! He again cooked his specialty French toast! It was a beautiful weekend and we were able to a beautiful night by visiting the Country Club Plaza and enjoyed some awesine diner food at Winstead's. I recommend the BLT and aWinstead's Frosty! Mom, Mrs. Younkin and Leah packed up and headed out Monday morning and a few hours later, the Bruce and Carol came up to visit! We headed out to the Legends (a huge shopping/dining area near us) to eat barbeque and shop at Cabela's.


The last weekend in May, some great friends came to spend the weekend in KC. Ashley, Brett, Lynn and Stauffer all stayed with us (6 people in a 2 bedroom apartment=full house!) The visit included my first Royals game (with both Ashley and I in our Cardinal's shirts!), a visit to the River Market, an awesome farmer's market downtown, lunch at Oklahoma Joe's (do you see a trend?), pool time, KC Power and Light, Sunday morning breakfast with Jeff's famous french toast and church at Heartland!


This last weekend we were able to attend a wedding of our friends and attend the Robertson family reunion! This reunion was especially neat because Jeff's great aunts from California and Oregon flew in for the occasion. I hope that I am half as spunky and beautiful as these ladies when I'm 78 and 90! It was so fun to hear stories about Jeff's grandma and grandpa!


Whew what a month! We will definitely be updating sooner next time!

Until next time from Kansas,

Emily and Jeff
