Easter and The Brewers

Corbin woke up to a basket full of goodies from the Easter bunny.  He got money for his piggy bank, jelly beans, a puzzle, little people dairy cows, alphabet flash cards and chocolate too. 

After Corbin was done looking at his loot from the bunny we headed off to his first ever Brewer game.  He had a blast.  He sat really well, actually watched part of the game, LOVED the sausage races and only needed to be distracted with one walk.  Success!  We'll definately be going back to Miller Park for more Brewer baseball fun.

Farm time fun

John's dad Dave lives on a hobby farm.  He's got horses, cows, goats, chickens, roosters, cats, dogs and geese.  In addition to animals, Dave has lots of "toys" like a four wheeler, a dune buggy and tractors. 



 Here Corbin is going on his first ride in the dune buggy.  Notice helmet and seat belt.  This mama is all about safety first.  I'm not sure Corbin knew what to think of the ride but did last quite a while before he asked to get out.

This is a progression of pictures starting with Corbin getting to know one of Grandpa Dave's horses.  This horse is old and blind but extremely gentle.  Corbin absolutely loved getting a ride!

A day at the park

We decided to take Corbin to the local park to try out some different equipment and because, to our dismay, our swing set blew over in a storm.  Yep, totally destroyed by the wind... BOO!  Luckily Corbin loves this park so we have a back up until we figure out what to do with our backyard disaster. 

Here Daddy is helping Corbin cross a balance bridge.  He would go back and forth for hours if we let him!

This is our friend and neighbor Sam.  Teeter-tottering with someone the same size is much more fun that with Mom or Dad.

Random

 This is our friend and Corbin's Godmother Angela and I sporting our bumps at Angela's baby shower.  It was held March 13th so I was about 26 weeks in this picture.

Corbin has had many haircuts in his life so far, once every 5 weeks in fact.  This was the first time he ever sat in a big chair by himself.  Usually I sit in the chair with a cape on and he sits on my lap with his cape on.  We needed to make the switch since my lap is getting ever smaller and we didn't want a lopsided haircut...  He did great, he sat still and didn't fuss when his hair got sprayed with water.

Here is Corbin post haircut being silly with Daddy.  He is obsessed with "be-unes" so often we have 1 or more in the house.  On this day the balloons were used to make baby bellies... I have to say it was pretty cute watching Corbin try to get that balloon stuffed in his shirt.  And it's comical that John had the Mama stance down instantly with his hand on his "belly".

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day Corbin and I took off to the Madison Children's Museum for the first time.  We didn't know exactly what to expect but the museum surpassed whatever we may have been thinking.  It was awesome. 

Corbin had fun painting on a wall of windows, cleaning up said paint on the wall of windows, putting together magnetic shapes and pretending to drive with a steering wheel.

This is one of my favorite shirts... I love it because it can be worn on more days than just Valentine's Day and because I think my little man is the most Handsome Little Devil around!

ABC Convention

Every year Associated Builders and Contractors of Wisconsin, Inc. has a convention.  Every year it's in Wisconsin Dells.  And every year we are delighted to have a few free days to spend at a water park.  Of course John  has to work during the day but we always find time to play in the water and have some fun!

This year the convention was held at the Wilderness.  We'd never been to the Wilderness before but will definately be going back.  We had a blast!

Here is Corbin "rarring" standing in front of a bear.  There were animals everywhere... Corbin loved pointing out the birds, various cat species and buffalo.

This pool was a hit with Corbin.  It was heated, bonus for Mommy, and it had a basketball hoop.  Corbin waited patiently for the ball to come his way and when it FINALLY did he was able to slam dunk it with the help of Daddy.  Needless to say, after the first "dunk" he never wanted to get out.

This is a picture of the water park we spent most of our time in (there are 5 I think...).  That huge bucket at the top of the picture fills up with water and tips over.  Before the tipping happens an alarm sounds, Corbin figured out what the alarm meant and stopped whatever he was doing to watch and clap.  He loved this park!
