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!

Baby Boy #2

Here are a few pics of the baby.  He looks perfect on ultrasound and we're excited to meet him in June. 



 Here is a picture of his little profile, I say he looks like Corbin.  John says I'm crazy.



This pic is a bit scary, he looks a bit alien.


3D of his face...


He's definitely a boy...

30th Birthday Surprise

John pulled off the most incredible surprise for my 30th birthday.  He planned, with the assistance of a few good friends, an amazing party.  I was in shock for the first 2 hours I'd say.  I couldn't believe he got this by me.  I am NOSY!  I like to know whats going on around me all the time.  How he managed to keep this from me I still don't know.  What I do know is I love birthdays and this was one for the record books. 

A special thanks to John, Angela, Keith, Rachel and Genea.  The party wouldn't have been a success without all of your hard work!  Also, to my parents and Alicia for making the trek to WI.  And Sheila for the flowers that were not... I love you all!



My amazing birthday cake.  Yes, it's me sleeping... my favorite past time!




Who knew there was wine without alcohol?  Thanks Alicia!


John's idea of a funny shirt.  It says, "I'm not fat, I'm knocked up".

Cars

We should have known just by the grasp of his hands... he was going to be OBSESSED with this "moomie".  Corbin is enthralled with Cars.  From the moment he wakes up till he begrudgingly goes to bed (and sometimes when he wakes up at night) he wants to watch Cars.  I don't know why we didn't introduce this movie sooner but I'm glad we didn't!

Christmas

Here are a few shots of Corbin digging in his stocking and opening gifts.  This year was really fun watching him get so excited over whatever was inside the package.  Of course he wanted to play with whatever he opened making present opening last all together too long.  Lesson learned: less really is more!
