Painting

Emma has really been enjoying her time alone with me and Bode. Although if Corbin forgets to give her loves before he gets on the bus she does freak out and cry all the way home. The other day I pulled out our homemade stamp shapes that I made out of toilet paper rolls and she loved it! I loved hearing her tell me all the colors and the shapes that we had. She is such a smart little girl. After she was done with her shapes she just wanted to paint. She told me that she wanted to paint a picture of her, Mommy and Daddy.

Future Snowboarders?

On Saturday we went to Ski n See's sale and while there our kids both really wanted to try out their snowboarding obstacle that they has set up. I'm sure the guys were just being nice but they just kept saying how impressed they were with both Corbin and Emma. I know the chances of them being snowboarders are extremely small but I was so impressed with both of them.

Bode-11 weeks

I feel like Bode has changed so much over the last few weeks.  I seriously cannot get enough of him.

3 Kids Update

When I was pregnant with Bode I constantly heard how baby #3 was the hardest one.  No one really had great things to say about baby #3 so to say I was freaking out a little is a huge understatement. The first few weeks were quite an adjustment but I have to be honest, it was not as bad as I had anticipated it to be.  Now that's not saying we haven't had our struggles and that it hasn't felt like my world has been turned upside down some days but I'm so glad that it's been a lot smoother than I thought it would be. In a previous post I had mentioned how I felt like I was letting my kids down by having to tell them no all the time.  I still feel bad at times but luckily we have all adjusted to everything that comes along with babies and we seem to have found a good groove which I am so grateful for. Corbin and Emma are still OBSESSED with Bode and they are both such big helpers.  Bode is a pretty lucky little boy to have these 2 as his big brother and big sister.

Bear Lake Week 2

We had our second week up at Bear Lake at the beginning of August. Because Corbin is in year round school now his first week of kindergarten conflicted with it. We were going to head up on Thursday afternoon but we found out Kyle had an important work meeting so weren't able to go up till Friday afternoon but we still had a great time. Corbin was able to try something new and went skimming behind the boat. Kyle and Cam were able to figure how to make it work and Corbin and Evan both did it. We were so proud of him. He even starte working the board and doing some turns. While doing a turn he ended up falling and as I was sitting in the boat it was so hard watching my 5 year old just floating in the water with no one there helping him but I couldn't have been more proud of him. He didn't cry or freak out and want to get back in the boat. We got to him and he immediately told us he wanted to try again. We all love going up to Bear Lake and Corbin is already asking when we can go back again.
