Easter Morning

I broke my Easter stuff up into different posts because I am doing them as I get a few minutes. Blogger has been awful about downloading my pictures from the computer lately.

I had a pictures of all the boys baskets out the night before and somehow it got deleted off my camera and so this is them getting to the baskets before I could get a picture!
This face cracks me up!

All he wanted were some new mud boots... momma thought he needed a different pair, but ALL he talked about was this pair... what's a momma to do?! :)

Corbin found yogurt in his basket :)

He just looks so big!

Everyone (including mommy and daddy) got new toothbrushes (B wants a new one everytime we go to the store, lol). Corbin just chews on his and so B was "brushing" his teeth for him!

Who knows!?

Lately, everytime we go to the store B wants jelly beans. Jelly beans make me gag. The smell of jelly beans make me gag and so I kept saying no... but I did put a whole bag in his Easter basket- which made him super happy :)

My sweet boys dressed up and ready to go to church in our Easter best!

Love how C is always watching B!

Sweet Brothers!

Love these boys!

Trying to get a family picture with the self timer... Corbin didn't want to cooperate!

This was as good as it got!

I love these three SO much!

Easter Lunch

After church we went to Ryan's parent's house for lunch.

B with his basket from Phil & Marilyn (I didn't get a picture of C with his b/c Ryan dug into it, lol)
Brothers!

Ryan gave Corbin a bite of cotten candy- what a mess!

His fat fat little feet!!

Mya pushed Corbin around in this doll stroller- it was so funny!

Corbin got MAD when I got him out!

Hunting eggs for the first time!

Putting an egg in the basket!!

He did really well... he just wanted to take them out and put them in over and over again :)

B hunting eggs!

My handsome little man!

Such a goober!

Just Because He's Cute

Seriously, I can't resist this sweet face :)
Loving on George (a Curious George stuffed animal that he took from B and carries around the house everywhere) :)

Showing me where George's eyes are :)

He loves this silly monkey :)

And this is why he has bruises on his face constantly- he climbs ON, IN, and UNDER everything he can think of and when he's stuck he just keeps trying and trying... I think right now he has three bruises on his face! Yikes! He's def. all boy!

Easter Evening

We go to my parents for supper on Easter. My mom's dad and step mom come as well as my Uncle and his two girls. His youngest, Ashlyn, and B are in the same grade and get along great- they play so well together... unfortunately I put up the camera when they got there and didn't get any pictures of the kiddos playing! My boys had an egg hunt before the company got there since we had to do it inside and got their Easter baskets from my parents.

A lot of people that know my dad says Corbin looks like him as a baby... I don't know if I see it in baby pictures or not. lol I think people see what they want to see!
My boys LOVE Papaw Rick... and with good reason :)
Brycen tells everyone that his Papaw can do ANYTHING! :)
I love this picture!

Corbin hunting eggs- more like "put eggs in basket, dump eggs, put eggs back in" :)

B hunting eggs
(my mom color codes by child- Brycen found green, Corbin found orange, etc)

Corbin with his Easter basket

B with his

Brycen was most excited with a new kite!

And Corbin was super excited to find a cup (it's the first thing he went for, go figure!) :)

checking out their stuff (notice Corbin has NOT put down the cup and it was empty!). :)

B's Class Easter Party

Last Thursday was B's class Easter party. He had been looking forward to it all week! We were on a 2 hour delay due to the power outage/water over roads so it was an extra short day for him!

They had an egg hunt first, here he is opening some of his eggs.

Waiting in line with some friends for the balloon pop game.

Xavier, Brycen, and Ryan

Doing the balloon pop game- it was hilarious!
Braden & Brycen

Some of the kids waiting on the others to finish.

Doing the bunny hop races (sack races). Brycen's bunny ears had fallen off at this point, but I love the look of joy on his face!

It was a great party and I'm so grateful that even though I am a working momma I have a job and a boss that are super understanding and flexible and I'm able to attend every class party, field trip, etc.!

They had ice cream Sunday's for their snack and they were a hit! I didn't get any pictures though I was too busy putting on more sprinkles :)

Brycen has a GREAT class and the BEST teacher- I'm so thankful!

I have a bunch of random pictures because I've been a bad blogger... oh well! These are from the beginning of April.

I live with boys... messy, muddy boys.

Sometimes I cringe...

I'm quite sure my washer will break one day from all the mud that goes through it.

The policy is- they strip off at the door from the garage before they enter the laundry room (down to their undies)... it still doesn't help b/c they usually have it crusted on them (don't ask me how!).

Corbin SCREAMS like you are killing him when you go inside or when you shut the door and he doesn't get to go outside with you... yikes!




Lots of mud holes... who would walk around them??


Not my boys! lol

I was folding laundry- I left the room to put the laundry away and came back to find them watching tv like this :)

Corbin's favorite place to play :)

His pout face!
I can't get enough of it :)

and his sweet smile :)

He loves this chair that was B's and tries to prop his leg up- which makes me crack up!

He has been walking for quite awhile, but I just got a picture of it a couple weeks ago. Now he runs!

I love how he sits cross legged (indian style) all the time!

And he loves his cup... he doesn't care what's in it (so most of the time it's water). :)

Pretending to start his chain saw like daddy :)

One day I came home from work and this gorgeous tree had bloomed right outside our front windows :)

B's fave dirt pile.

King of the mountain :)
I think he was actually playing "Rescue"... he rescues tigers ya know?!

He wanted me to take a picture of him "rolling down the mountain" :)

Boys will be boys... :)


We have just been busy around the house... we have all our dirt work left to do, but that's not going to happen until it dries up! Wowzers have we had a lot of rain!

Still lots of little jobs inside as well, but we're knocking those out slowly, but surely.

Just a little update...

We are all moved in! Well, I guess I should clarify that sentence. We live at our new house! We still have random unpacked boxes and a basement full of stuff for a yard sale and pictures that need hung, etc... lots of work to do outside so that we can have a yard full of something besides mud, BUT we sleep, eat, take baths, and enjoy our family of four at our house.... which is becoming our home :) I'm soooo happy I can't even explain. It feels like all our hard work is paying off! I thought we'd NEVER live here... it seemed like a far off dream. I have to say that I was sooo happy Sunday/Monday just being there and putting stuff away that I would tear up! It has been a longggg winter and now we have our new house and beautiful weather to enjoy it in! I took off Monday, Tues, and then off on Wed. to unpack.... I got a lot done, but the boys both got sick with strep throat and we had to run to the dr. and do all the things that comes with two boys with strep throat so that cut into my game plan a bit! Brycen had to miss school Tues.- he pretty much slept the entire day b/c he was feeling so awful. He also had to miss school Wed. b/c he hadn't been fever free for 24 hours (still had one at bedtime the night before). BUT he was feeling much better Wed. and was more like himself. Thankfully it was a nice afternoon and he got to play outside. He was still tired I think b/c I caught him taking breaks laying on the couch. I hate that he was sick, but I was glad it happened on days I had already taken off- it was nice to spend that time with him. Mr. Corbin has decided to be a climbing fool. I was up on a small ladder putting stuff away in some high cabinets and I look down and Corbin was climbed two steps up and working on the third! Yikes! He dumps the laundry and climbs in the basket, he would climb in the boxes I was unpacking, is trying to climb on the couch, chairs, lockers, etc. He will also grab a hold of anything above his head (like the table) and hang like a little monkey! This morning when I dropped him off the babysitter called him "the little dare devil" :) That describes him very well! He seems to have no fear. I can't believe he will be 14 months tomorrow! Baseball season is gearing up- we've had two practices so far. Brycen loves it! Ryan is coaching again so they are enjoying that a lot. The first week C and I had to sit in the van to watch practice b/c it was so chilly... I'm very thankful it's warming up! I can't believe there's only a little over seven weeks left of school and that means just a little over seven weeks until our vacation as well! B is marking the days off on his calendar! Well, that's just a little update on us- hope everyone else is doing well :)
