Baby Kate and snow

We got to spend some time with Baby Kate a few weekends ago. Corbin didn't seem to mind me paying attention to a baby other than him. Take a look below, we weren't sure if Corbin was checking Kate out or contemplating stealing her lamb mobile.

Corbin tripped and discovered snow... he didn't like it!

Not even being pulled by Daddy in the baby sled made him happy. Looks like its gonna be a long winter indoors.

Another addition!

Just before Thanksgiving, five weeks early, my new neice graced the world. Kate Noelle was born on Monday November 23rd at 3:40 pm weighing in at 5lbs 5oz and measuring 18 inches. She needed some extra love and affection from the nurses in the Special Care Nursery but after 1 long week for her parents Kate is home and thriving!

I'm a very pround Auntie... Since Kate arrived early her shower hasn't been held yet. This weekend I will get to shower my sister and snuggle my neice! I'm looking forward to it.

New life is the perfect way to start the holiday season!

Arrgh!... hand over yer candy.

Halloween was fun this year! Corbin was a good sport in his pirate costume... who knew the 12-18 month size would be so tight he couldn't get his arms out to break his falls?! Needless to say, we went to a few important houses and took some pictures but the costume came off quickly. He had indents and red marks everywhere... poor baby! Next year we'll get a costume he can try on BEFORE we take the tags off.

Second North Dakota Vacation

Recently Corbin and I took our second trip together to North Dakota. We had a great time visiting family and friends. Corbin picked up a few things on our trip... see video below!

Birthday and Baptism

Here are some pictures from last weekend. Corbin celebrated his 1st birthday and was baptized.



Dad, Mom, Rev. Donny, Keith, Corbin and Angela



Corbin had a Brewer themed birthday party.



This picture pretty much sums up the gift opening experience. Corbin liked the bows better than the presents.

Here is Corbin riding one of the many cool big boy toys he received.

Growing up

This is just a funny picture of Corbin eating mac and cheese for the first time. He seemed to like it... I've only given it to him once or twice since then... it's a mess to clean up! Also, notice how long his hair is. John had been after me for a while to get Corbin's hair cut. I didn't want to because I didn't want him to look like a big boy quite yet. Dad won though, check out the next pic.



Here is Corbin after his first hair cut. He did a great job letting "Bobby" cut his hair with scissors. No electric clipper for this little boy. He looks so big now, I'm still sad about it!



John and Corbin went on their first guys weekend while I was working a few weeks back. They enjoyed being outside seeing nature even though the weather didn't cooperate. Hopefully they can do it again before snow falls, they had a great time together.

Trip to MN

While I was on vacation from work Corbin and I made a trip to MN to see Papa and Nana. We were able to enjoy some pool time thanks to the scortching hot weather. We also caught up with my family and a couple of friends while we were there.

Corbin sitting on the steps of Papa and Nana's pool for the first time.

Corbin was intrigued by Papa's boots so Nana thought she'd help him try them on.

Thanks for a fun four days Papa and Nana...
