Last Week

Last Monday we went to Jasper to Brittany and Ricky's (Chelsey, Ryan, and baby Blake came too). We had "Friendsgiving". Since the Holidays are so busy we knew we better plan a get together or we wouldn't be seeing our friends for awhile so we had an early Thanksgiving feast- it was so yummy and we enjoyed chatting and playing w/ all the kiddos. I got ONE picture all night (after it stopped downpouring b/c my camera was in the van). The other two girls got some cute ones of the kiddos so I'm waiting on them to send them to me!

B and Ryan H. have always been big buddies- looks like Corbin is following suit :)

I can't get over how big my "baby" is getting!

My dad got a buck and of course we had to go see it :)
Ryan was working late so the boys and I went and then had supper at the BBQ place in town w/ my parents. Yay for a no cooking night for me!

Last week was American Education Week. They had a theme for each day. Monday was scarf day and Brycen said scarves are for girls and there isn't any way he was wearing one :) lol!

Tuesday was Mulitcultural day and B and his friends had no idea what to wear so they all just wore camo (look at previous posts of him in camo and you can see what he looked like) lol! I skipped taking pictures.

Wednesday- now that was the day Brycen was excited about-

Western Day!

He is such a cowboy.

He said he wished every day was western day so he could dress like this each day and wear his hat! haha!

I'm for certain he is the cutest cowboy EVER!

Thursday was blue and green day (like the world is blue/green).

I thought he looked sooo handsome in this sweater.
Wish he'd let me dress him up a little more often!

I can't get over how old he is looking these days... it just seems surreal.

Friday was Tropical Day.
It was hard to get in a "tropical" mood when it was 31 degrees when we got up!

And another picture of Corbin Fisher just b/c he's so cute and I can't resist him :)

Friday the boys and I went to Evansville- my mom went with us and we had supper w/ my brother. That was nice! We did a little shopping and got B a new pair of boots (his were literally falling apart!). We always get our money worth out of boots!

Friday evening I noticed Corbin had a runny nose and his cheeks were flushed. He didn't feel warm or anything though. Brycen had also started coughing a ton AGAIN.

By Saturday morning it was official they both had SOMETHING.

Ryan was at the cabin hunting again this weekend so the boys and I did a lot of nose blowing/breathing treatments/and cuddling.

By yesterday I had whatever it was (I'm thinking a bad cold).

Miserable... Ryan came home and I let him take over the sick kid duties like snot sucking and I rested.

The boys were less snotty this morning so hopefully they are on the mend.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be better- I need a nap already today!

I only work today and tomorrow this week so I'm excited about that!

Living Up to His Name

My "baby" is all grown up... he thinks he is a man now! lol. That's because on Sunday evening he got to go hunting w/ daddy for the very first time. He was so excited- it is all he could talk about. If you know B you know he is a talker (have no idea where he gets that, lol) so we were (read here- Ryan) concerned it might not go so hot. They went out in our woods for the first time to see how he did and "practice" lol. Turns out he did great and they were out there for about three hours! He said he would of liked to spend the night in the woods, but he had to pee :) haha! He said, "Well, I've got the hunting bug now!". Too cute! I'm glad it lived up to his expectations- even though they only seen one deer and didn't even get to shoot at it. He used to cry and cry and cry when Ryan would leave for the wk/end to go to the cabin- now momma's going to be the one crying b/c our fun wk/ends alone together are going to come to a halt when Daddy lets him go to the cabin to hunt! At least I have Corbin at home for a few more years hopefully! I keep telling Ryan we need another one (a girl this time) so I'll have someone to hang out with while all my men are off hunting!

Look at that big ol' smile!
He wanted to wear Daddy's orange- but it was a little big!

Such a cute hunter!

Brycen Hunter- is living up to his name :)

My Cowboys :)

Corbin got to wear his real cowboy boots for the first time!

He looked adorable and it was funny when he first put them on to watch him walk in them.

I still remember B wearing these boots for the first time (at about the same age). :( Time goes so fast!

Corbin always is putting on Brycen's, Ryan's, and my boots and tripping everywhere around the house. His finally fit so Yay!

My sweet boys :)


wrestling :)
haha, Corbin's favorite thing to do - jump on people.

B is such a good sport with his brother :)

Bubble Boys

Last night we had a lazy evening at home for a Monday. We had breakfast for supper and I let the boys play in the big tub with lots of bubbles for a lot longer than normal :) . Too bad every evening can't be that relaxed!

Corbin thought it was great fun to spray the water all over everything!

Precious baby boy :)

Corbin washed Brycen's hair about 10x :)
It should be very clean today!

Can't believe how big my baby is!

The lights of my life!
Love them!

Pumpkin Contest- Sheep In A Jeep

B has always loved the book "Sheep In A Jeep"- now that he can read he loves reading it to Corbin and they both crack up laughing. They were having a pumpkin decorating contest at school- the pumpkin was supposed to be based off of your favorite book character. B decided he wanted to do a Sheep (last year he did Horton from Horton Hears a Hoo). He did it all himself with just a little assistance from momma on the ears. (that stick in the center was his number from the contest). He won 2nd place out of the whole school! He was sooo proud!

B and Sheep from "Sheep In A Jeep" :)

Halloween 2011

We had one little trick-or-treater this year! Chelsey brought Blake by in his monkey costume. He was an adorable- very chunky- monkey :) . Corbin didn't know what to think of Blake dressed up like that,but he loved it and thought it was hilarious!

Brycen, Corbin, and Blake

Corbin just wanted to keep touching him! He was cracking up at him!

Yesterday we dressed up and went a few places. We never go many places, but we hit up about 6 or 7 people we know.
My little amish boys :)

Brycen loved pretending to be amish- he actually wanted to keep his borrowed suspenders and wear them to school today! lol

Corbin skipped nap time yesterday so that made things a little tricky, but he was still cute :)

PRECIOUS!

Knepp Family ~ Halloween style!

I think my hubby makes a pretty good lookin' amishman! Me- not so much! I like my eye make up! lol!

We had a blast though!

We were on E and so Ryan had to pump gas- that was a funny sight.

We also went into Joe Mama's (pizza place) to see my cousin Brooke while she was working.

There was an older couple in there that kept staring!
Finally Brooke said, "I think these people think you are really amish", sure enough they did! lol!

too funny!

Ryan didn't have a beard b/c I wasn't paying thirty dollars to buy one and we couldn't find one around here, but oh well! He did have a truely authentic amish hat though- it was his Grandpa Knepp's- so that was neat!

It was so fun and Brycen LOVED it!

It was Ryan's idea last year and we've talked about doing it all year so it was fun to see our plans come to be!

Camera Happy

This was red ribbon week at PES. We were off Monday for fall break, but the rest of the week had themes. Tuesday was sweat pants day. Brycen said, "I'm not wearing sweat pants b/c worker men don't wear sweat pants!". :) He takes his "job" seriously!

Wednesday was "Team Jersey" day. He wore his Colts jersey and after school we had an impromptu photo session :) hehe!

Yesterday was crazy sock day and he wore one red baseball sock and one orange baseball sock :)

Today was Red Day and he wore a Cards shirt! Go Cards!

Corbin's never in a good mood after work/school. It's his "fussy time" of the day... it always has been :( It's hard to pick him up and have him in a bad mood- but we go w/ it! After supper it turns around thankfully!


Lovin' his new hat momma got him while shopping!

B took our picture! I'm not sure what he did to my camera but all the ones he took looked faded!

Ninja dancing?!

Showing off his new Puma's :)
He thinks he is hot stuff now!
