Ward Campout

This last weekend was our Ward Campout so we decided that this year we would attempt to stay over night. Last year Kyle & Corbin stayed but just slept in the car. I was really nervous for the night but it actually went really well. Corbin had a blast playing with all the kids and roasting marshmallows. I was super impressed with Emma. She was more than content to just hang out on a blanket and watch everyone.






More Splash Pad Fun!

Emma joined in the fun this time. She didn't hate it but she didn't completely love it either.

Thanksgiving Point

My Mom told me about Thanksgiving Point doing their $2 dollar Tuesdays in the month of August so I thought that it could be fun to take my kids down and check it out. At the last minute my friend Kelly and her 3 girls joined us. We decided once we got there to do their farm. The animals were at the perfect height for the kids to be able to see them and pet them. With the $2 admission it included a pony ride and wagon ride. The line for the pony ride was really long so we each took turns standing in line while the other one stayed with the kids in the shade. I'm sure glad she decided to come with us.












When we were done with the farm my friend Kelly and her girls had to head home but Corbin asked if we could stay and do the dinosaur museum. I decided that for $2 that it could be fun. I was a little nervous to go and do it completely by myself but we actually ended up having a really good time. We grabbed a bite to eat at their cafe and than went into the museum part. Corbin has just started really getting into dinosaurs so he enjoyed this a lot more than I thought he would. He was so good about when he got too far in front of me he would come back and wait. It really was sweet. My favorite part was they had a couple sand pits that they kids could take little brushes and look for dinosaur bones.








Book Worm

Emma's new favorite place to play...

Hair Styler

I was a little bored one day, and Corbin's hair had gotten really long and was in dire need of haircut, so I asked him if I could do his hair. We had a lot of fun doing different styles. He was such a trooper in letting his Mommy play hair styler since our sweet little Emma is still as bald as can be.







Corbin was really sad that Emma was being left out so we attmepted to part her hair. Can you tell?

Drive-In

My brother and sister in law, John & Brooke, invited us to go to the Drive-In with them. The kids had a great time. Emma fell asleep on our way to the movie and slept through everything which was wonderful. We saw Smurfs and Cars 2. I thought for sure that Corbin would sleep through Cars 2, seeing as it was the second feature and it was getting really late but both him and Sam ended up staying awake through the whole thing. I'm pretty sure that is the latest Corbin has ever stayed awake but he of course fell asleep as soon as we on the road back home.


THANKS for inviting us John & Brooke!

Play Buddies

Now the Emma is a crawler and can get around pretty good her and Corbin have become really good buddies. He loves to dress up and have her play along with him even though she really has no idea what he is doing. This certain day he decided they were going to be cowboys but because we don't have a cowboy hat for Emma she got to wear Woody's hat.

Crazy Corbin

Our little man has just been making me smile lately. His curious mind and his want to know about everything is so fun.



Somewhere, sometime Corbin learned how to do somewhat of a cartwheel. I'm still trying to figure out where he picked it up but if he really focuses he does a pretty decent one.



Splash Pad Fun

We have recently discovered a splash pad near us that we absolutely love! It has tons of shade and Corbin has really started having fun with them.
My friend Julie and her 2 boys joined us one day and the 2 boys, Corbin and Collin, had a blast playing together. Emma and Josh just played on the blanket with each other and Julie and could just hang out and talk.
