The Life and Thoughts of Robyn

The Scott and Robyn Parry Family

 Okay, so my awesome daughter Ashley set up a blog for me on Mother's Day, and now it's August, and, well . . . I'm getting around to joining the 21st century with an actual post.  So here's the Parry clan--Connor, Robyn, Cody, Dylan in the "O" (it was part of a "Livestrong" campaign), Wyatt, Scott and Ashley Parry. Ashley is now married to Lyndon Hansen, but we love when she comes home to visit.

We're a crazy and fun bunch, mostly sports-oriented,  for which my husband's occupation as an Orthopaedic Surgeon comes in handy. We all enjoy skiing, waterskiing, hiking, and so on.  This past year we had two college athletes, Ashley in softball and Cody in rugby, with the younger boys in rugby, football, and basketball.  I grew up competing in gymnastics and now enjoy Crossfit and running.  I've finished 10 marathons and with  my sister became "Certifiably Goofy," which means we ran the Walt Disney World Half-Marathon and full Marathon in consecutive days. Goofy, yes, but kind of cool too.

We love the sunny days and red rock scenery in St. George, Utah, but we also love to travel.  Favorite trips of all time include ones to Africa, Europe, and islands just about anywhere. Occasionally we also get our school and home work done, which reminds me of my other favorite activity, reading. I earned two degrees in English at Brigham Young University and taught English for nine years, but have somehow ended up with a math and science family . . . who knew?

We'll try to add posts about our big family events and keep in touch with family and friends. Bye for now--
