Yesterday we went to Corbin's 15 month check up. I want to put this down for my memory! He weighed 24lbs 2oz (right below 50th %) and was 32 1/4 inches long (75th%).
Dr. K says that he is doing great and that his tantrums are very normal for this age (that was good to hear form the dr.). He said he advises that as long as he's safe (not going to hurt himself on something) just to ignore him because at this age any attention makes them think "heyy mom thinks this is cool". Well, Momma does not think tantrums are cool (throwing yourself on the floor kicking and screaming isn't really fun for momma) so we're going to try ignoring you and pray they go away!
Corbin is so funny- like I said before some people he could care less about and other people he seems to love, well Dr. K stood up and and Corbin lifted his arms and wanted him to pick him up! It was pretty funny since I had just got done saying that he's not a huge people person.
I knew he was doing well, but it's always nice to be reassured by the dr. :)

Muddy Mother's Day
Sunday afternoon after church and after Corbin's nap the boys played outside in the mud. It was a perfect.day.
I don't even have pictures of them at their muddiest because I was too busy hosing them down (literally). They rolled in the mud. B said they were taking a mud bath like the pigs do to stay cool :). I had to hose them off before they could go inside to take their bath. The extra messes for me to clean are worth their smiles and B's stories! I'm a girl who likes things CLEAN... maybe too clean, but I don't want to hinder their fun because of my need for clean so I'm letting them run around like wild indians and be as dirty as possible and cleaning like a mad woman after they go to bed because I know these times aren't going to last too long. These boys are such a precious gift, on loan to Ryan and I, from Our Heavenly Father. He gave us these little boys to foster their personalities and bring them up in the Lord's way. I'm trying so hard to do that even though I know I fail every day at something I'm sure trying. I want to be an encouragment to them whether that is encouraging them to have fun in the mud or encouraging them to do the right thing on the playground when everyone else isn't.
This post got a little deep and I didn't mean for it to, but I know that at times I can be such a serious person and I need to let loose and have a little more fun so for my boys I'm trying to let them have that in their personality. :)
Bubbles
B has been trying and trying (for like a year) to blow bubbles with his gum. He finally accomplished this task last week! He was sooo excited :)
Being the goofy boy he is :)
He can always make us smile!
The first night he learned to blow bubbles!
Being the goofy boy he is :)He can always make us smile!Muffins for Momma
Friday afternoon B's teacher had "Muffins for Mommy" (aka Muffins for Momma"). :) B has been so excited and I couldn't wait. I have said time and time again that he has the greatest teacher. She just goes above and beyond on everything. I never have a doubt that she cares about my baby. I just can't say enough good things about her (and not just b/c she made me a chocolate chip muffin either)! They did a little program for us with songs and poems and then we painted a vase/pencil holder together and had muffins/juice/water/fruit salad. It was such a fun time and one I'll cherish for years to come.
M O M M Y (sung to the tune of BINGO)
Blowing kisses during a song :)
They had made us a garden stone and could decorate it how they wanted he made a "C" because that's what my name starts with :)
His teacher said he came up with it first thing and was very protective over his idea!
I thought it was fitting considering we call them B & C (yes, we do actually call them that in real life too) lol.
B & "his girl" Kennedy :)
Brycen saying his part of a poem, "I'm sorry for the messes I always seem to make" (bahaha, it fit perfectly)... it was about muddy handprints down the hall and everywhere!

15 Months
Corbin is 15 months today. He's not a baby anymore, but he's not really a toddler either. Mr. Corbin has a VERY big attitude. He tests us A LOT. He screams at the top of his lungs... he doesn't really cry, but has a "whine cry" that he can turn off and on in an instant! Now, don't get me wrong- we love him very much and still have tons of fun with him, but you just never know how he's going to act! All I remember of B at this age was him being very loving! Corbin is such a rough neck! He can be so sweet one minute and throwing his toy across the room at you the next! I keep telling myself it's just a stage! What do you other momma's do to discipline a 15 month old for hitting, throwing toys, etc? He doesn't like to be told no, but it seems to be his favorite word to say!
We go on Wednesday for his check up on weight and height... He's thinned out a lot and is still tall. I'm anxious to see his stats.
He's saying quite a few words (when he wants to!) and I love hearing his little voice. The other night on the way home B was singing "Who Let the Dogs Out" and Corbin was saying "Rrrfff" it was sooo funny! Speaking of dogs- he LOVES them!!! He gets so excited he starts panting when he sees them! The neighbor dogs are at our house all the time and C stands at the window and bangs at them if we are inside!
I think one reason Corbin is so rough is due to playing with B so much. Those two crack me up! Yesterday they were rolling in the mud like pigs! Literally.
Corbin has one speed and it's "fast" all the time! He always has numerous bruises and bumps because he just doesn't slow down! He'll fall going full speed and get back up again running as if he didn't phase him!
He cracks us up with his quirky ways. Around some people he can be sooo serious and not smile one bit, but other people he is as outgoing as they come! He has a big cheesey smile where he squints his eyes- it's so funny! He tilts his head back and puts his arms out but the arms are always touching at the elbow part- it just looks hilarious!
He loves bathtime, but screams when it's time to get out (screams like you're hurting him!). He doesn't hold still to get lotion on or a diaper change or his clothes. He hates getting his shoes put on, but brings them to us all the time and wants to go "bye".
He is an outside boy! He's happy as long as he's outside! Once again- when you bring him inside he screams as if you're hurting him (like the shrillest scream that makes your ears ring).
He's going through a phase of only eating what he wants to eat and when he wants to eat... sometimes I think he has to be starving because he just won't eat! He def. only wants to feed himself and will hit away any spood on fork we try to put in his mouth causing yogurt, applesauce, ptoatoes, etc to go flying everywhere. What a mess! When he does decide to eat though he will eat more than me!
He loves my big round brush and stands in front of my long mirror and pretends to brush his hair :) If asked to bring something specific like a shoe, diaper, certain toy, drink, etc. He will bring them.
I'm sure there are lots of things I'm leaving out about our little man and I don't want to make him sound like a total bratty baby because he's not, BUT that just seems to be what he is doing to test us right now and what we're struggling with with him. We love him so much, screaming fits and all (although, if those go away soon I'd jump for joy!) :)

Opening Day 2011
Saturday was our Little League opening day! Usually, every year for as far back as I can remember it rains on opening day... this year it would not of been a surprise to have rain due to the floods (literally) we've been having! BUT God is Good and we had a gorgeous sunshiney and warm day (Let me say that He still would of been good even if it did rain, but I'm just so thankful he opened up the sky and let us have some sunshine!). Anyway, sorry I got a little off track!
Our little league parade started at 11am. Then opening ceremony. Have I mentioned I love tradition?! I do. I love standing there thinking how none of this has really changed in the past 20 years since I started playing on those very same fields! I love my kids are getting those same experiences that I cherish the memories of! We were the third game after opening ceremonies. The bad part of opening day is you never know what time you will be playing since there aren't set times for the games!
We grabbed some lunch and Corbin took a quick (too quick!) nap and we chatted with people around the ball field before our game began. I didn't get to see too much of the game (due to the little one only having a ten minute nap!)... He was a wild little thing! He did hang on to the fence and yell "DADDDAAAA and BUBBBBBBBAAAAA" shaking the fence while daddy and bubby were out on the field! It was too cute :)
Ryan and B walking in the parade :)

Our school is out today due to flooding over most of our main highways and tons of our county roads. It's crazy! B will now be missing the last four days of school since that will make us go until June 7th and we leave on vacation June 2nd! I don't know how they will go tomorrow either because we're supposed to get two more inches today! Yikes!
Two Boys In A Tub :)
Corbin & BrycenMy boys are ALWAYS dirty... one reason is b/c they are boys and reason number two is because we live in a pit of mud right now! Thankfully they both LOVE bath time! Sometimes I wonder how clean they are getting with all the mud on the bottom of the tub when I drain the water! haha!
