More Easter

So, we had a BUSY Easter weekend!! Not one, but two Easter egg hunts. The first one was a wonderful ward activity. Quinn had to work, so I had both kids. Needless to say, no pictures got taken during that hunt. Corban and Porter had a blast even though I don't have proof of it. The activity was very well put together. Corban came away saying that the "bad soldiers made Jesus "died" but the earth shook and he didn't die anymore." Man I love that kid. Props to the leaders who did such a good job. After that was a small group of friends at Shelby farms.

Here are the kiddo waiting to go. Notice Corban cheating, I mean getting a head start. And were off!!!

Easter. . . just a little late

Mom, look at what I got!!!
All the kids with their findings. Porter helping himself to Corban's. Corban not liking that plan.

"Mommy!! He wouldn't give it to me! I'm outta here."


Corban: "Now my eggs are safe!"

Then Corban kept thinking and telling us that there were more eggs further back in the woods.

This is Corban after a fun weekend with Rebekah and Nathan. It was so good to have them back for a few days!! Doesn't this look so cozy? My body hurts just looking at it.

This is Porter after playing & washing cars with Daddy and Uncle Punk.(also known as Brian).

*I'm trying not to take it personally that NO ONE responded to my homemade craft offer. You all can kiss my booty.

Pay it forward

Paying It ForwardI've seen this several times and figured I could use a little good Kharma...

The first three people to respond to this post will get something made by me! This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
I make no guarantees that you will like what I make but...It will be made especially for you

It may be baked goods, a photo, poetry, favorite quotes or something decorative. It will be completed in 3 months

The catch?Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 3 people who do the same. The first 3 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did get a homemade gift by me!Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Good luck!What a great way to give service and utilize our skills!

Let's all go to the zoo

Recently my aunt was in town for a quick visit and Corban wanted to take her to the zoo. The day was made for the zoo. Not to hot, slight breeze, and small crowds. We had a GOOD time. You can't really see it here but Corban found a bamboo stick and carried that thing around like it was gold. He loved his stick. It was kinda like his walking stick. Too cute. Nana, can I have a candy please? What do you think the answer was?

Porter at the panda exhibit. He would have climbed ALL OVER these rocks if I would have let him. This boy has NO fear. He keeps me on my toes.

Here he is looking at the pandas.

I think the pandas liked Porter as much as he liked them. It was a great day. I'm glad that Nana and Aunt Gay were able to spend it with us. Pictures of them soon.

That's my boy

So I totally stole this from Meghan Boston. What a great way to remember this age. Mommy through Corban's eyes.

Priceless. No lie, this is what he said. Out of the mouth of babes. I love that kid.

Goodnight sweethearts. . .

As many of you know, before I had children, I had this WONDERFUL ability to fall asleep anywhere. Watching a movie, in the car, at the movie theater. Quinn is still able to use this talent. His is more mastered than mine. It seems that our children inherited this trait also.So sleepy.

Corban getting his nightly breathing treatment.

Notice the sippy, stuffed kitty and koala. Life is not good without these at bedtime.

He REALLY takes after his daddy.
