Like Father...Like Sons

The boys love watching their daddy race on his motorcycle! Pop just recently got them these dirtbike outfits so the boys could be more like daddy. (although daddy would never wear those pants) :)

Mommy is against the boys ever racing motorcycles...but they can look cute watching the races!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

According to the boys...I turned 7 years old today!!! Woo hoo!! :) Except for the having to go to school part of the day...it turned out to be a pretty good birthday! I skipped out of class an hour early and we went to the outlet mall before going out to eat with Mimi, Pop, Shawn, Sarah, and Seth. Since we had to miss a birthday party this weekend for Michael's nephew..I let Corbin pick the restaurant...Shogun! (Good choice lil buddy) Food was great!
Thanks again Mimi and Pop for my new Wii Fit!!


Corbin played photographer on this one... :)

Birthday-palooza!

Here we are....me and my birthday buddy! Lincoln and I were born on the same day...April 25th...30 years apart! Lil man turns 1 tomorrow and I turn...well, you can do the math yourself! Because of scheduling conflicts, we celebrated our big day tonight by going to eat at Pasado's. You can see more pics on Lincolns blog. Pics may be slightly out of order...


Gagey. He was wondering when the cake would be out the whole time.

Pretty green-eyed boy with pretty...blue teeth!

Finger-lickin' good!


Tinker-toot and his mommy. (geez...I wonder if they look alike?)



"Daddy...I got some blue stuff...on my finger."

The Corpian Fam. (ha ha...if you look real closely or click on the picture...you'll see Joey completely covered in "blue stuff")

Dakota. This picture is old, but I wanted to acknowledge my other birthday buddy on Michael's side of the family...Dakota is turning 7 tomorrow and because of my lovely weekend class...we can't make it. :( We're thinking about you and hope you have a great birthday!!

TINKER-TOOT...have a great time tomorrow at Great Wolf Lodge!!! I really hope you liked your birthday present!! Aunt Shawna loves giving you things that will drive your mommy and daddy bananas! :)

Thinking of You...

Is it bad...???

Is it bad that the only phrase that my 2 1/2 year old son is singing from The Zac Brown Band's song "Chicken Fried" is the part about beer?

Gagey keeps singing " cold beer on a friday night..." over and over again today.

Hmmm...maybe it's a good thing that our FM radio in the car is messed up right now. (The only station we hear on AM radio is DisneyRadio. :)

Just another Manic Monday...

Since I switched my grocery day from Monday's to Sunday's we had a little extra time today and decided that since it was such a pretty day out...we'd head out to the park!! Lil Corbin is taking a break from riding his scooter around the splash pad...which of course, isn't on yet. :) He's such a little "poser" when it comes to pictures. I can't wait for Chelsi to get some good ones of him soon!

Here is my lil wild man, Gage. The sidewalks and concrete weren't dangerous enough for scooter ridin', so he took to the jungle gym. (Where is this boy's mother at?!?!?)

Then there was Seth. He also likes to walk on the danger side of things...from which he usually needs saved. (I had just had to get him off the "big kids" jungle gym, because he didn't realize he was scared of heights until he got up there. ) Anyway, here he is pretending to ride Gage's scooter. :)

He said WHAT?!?!

Do you ever get that feeling that your child is smarter than you...or knows more than you do? Almost daily, Corbin says and does things that make Michael and I wonder...
After I got home from school tonight Michael told me that him and the boys were going to take a walk up to the little convenience store by our house to get some ice cream. (when I was at school) Anyway, when walking out the door, Corbin said "Lets do this with a sense of purpose." (HUH?) Corbin is 4 1/2 years old. I know every parents raves on and on about how smart or beautiful their kids are....but dang...MY CORBIN IS ONE SMART COOKIE!! (and Gagey is a mini-me of his big brother)

P.S. Michael asked Corbin where he heard "sense of purpose." His answer...from Horton Hears a Who. Still....ONE SMART COOKIE! :)
