Park, Party and digging for worms!!!!!

We have been really busy packing in the fun! Thursday mom and I were going to take the kids to the zoo, but we decided it would be too crowded. We took Soph, Claire and Corbin to the park and they had a great time! Then Friday Nana and I took both kids to Pump It Up! It was a lot of fun! I don't have pictures because we were too busy chasing the kids to take any! We were all worn out after that adventure. Fri night we had a nice dinner with Paw Paw, Nana and Poof. Yesterday we celebrated my cousin Lauren's 30th birthday! It was a lot of fun to see everyone and celebrate her big day! This morning I headed over to mom and dad's for some worm digging fun! Corbin and my dad had a great time digging in the dirt. Corbin was scared to touch the worms, so I got to pick them out of the dirt. Lucky me. This afternoon we are going over to Denise and Diane's new house to hang out and see three of our favorite kids! We will post pics later on! Hope everyone is havign a great weekend!

Spring Break!

Spring Break is going by so fast! We have been pretty busy making the most of this awesome week. We have been playing outside a lot now that the weather is nice! Corbin often takes my sunglasses when we are outside. I need to go buy him some!
Lindsay and I took the kids on a little adventure. We first went to chuck e cheese which lasted all of 6 minutes. Corbin is terrified of the massive rat Chuckie. He was so scared that giant chuckie was going to come out that he was not having fun. So, we decided to leave and go to the painting place. The kids LOVED this! Corbin picked out something for him to paint and something for Claire. He painted a horse, and Claire painted a dog. They had a great time. Paint was everywhere by the time we left.

Corbin painting his horse! It is beautiful!
Here is the one ride the kids did before we left Chukie Cheese. Claire thought it was great!Corbin is really focusing on winning the race.
This little pool had a bunch of rain water in it. Corbin decided it would be fun to splash around in it with Claire. It turned into a wrestling match. They had the bes time playing in the 1/2 inck of water that was in there. It entertained them for the longest time.
My beautiful, happy boy!
Corbin and Jack were playing trucks and hiding uncer the table!
Corbin painted his hand after he painted his horse.
Here is the princess painting. Her little puppy turned out really cute!
How do you make Claire happy in her carseat? You give her a biscuit!

Grammy and Pa's house with the cousins!

Tonight we had a super fun time at Grammy and Pa's. The whole gang was there minus Joseph.. he had to work. All the cousins played outside the entire time. They had a blast. Right before we left Grammy read a book to the kids. They love being read to.
Corbin loves going through the garage and pulling out all the stuff from when I was a kid. He really likes this tennis racket. We throw balls to him and he hits them. I remember taking tennis lesson with this racket when I was a little kid.
Dad was rocking June to sleep. She was watching Corbin and Claire run in circles instead of going to sleep.
My parents have this AWESOME sink in their garage. It really is cool. It has hot and cold water and is just HUGE. Corbin decided he wanted to take a bath in it tonight. We piled all the kids in and they had a great time. They thought it was really cool. He will never want to take a bath in a bathtub again. It is a smart idea to have this outside. Your bathroom stays clean and the kids love it.
At first June was not to sure about this bathing outside thing. Corbin and Claire convinced her it was the cool thing to do and sure enough she began to love it. They all played in the giant sink and had a blast.
My mom bought the girls these super cute outfits. They all wore them tonight and looked super cute! We tried to get Corby in the picture, but he wanted nothing to do with the girly matching pic.
Is this not the cutest thing??
I think this pic is so funny. Maw-Maw and Sophie. Sophie was fighting mad when Maw-Maw first began to hold her. After a few seconds she was totally fine.
Today was a really fun day, I love getting all the cousins together to play! They are all lucky to have each other!

More Rodeo Pics.....

Natalie took some really cute pics while we were at the Rodeo. I stole them off of her blog. Sweet Claire and Daddy!

Fun at Aunt Natty's

Natalie had a fun painting session with the kids. She painted their hands and let them make this awesome canvas. They had a GREAT time. Corby and I decided we should paint his feet. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. Claire and Corbin were a total mess by the time it was all finished. Thank you Aunt Natalie for painting with us!!! The kids also played in June's super delux ball pit! It was a fun night!



Houston Livestock show and RODEO!!

Today Chris, Corby, Claire, Nana, PawPaw, Jimmy, Natalie, June and I went to the rodeo! We have a really great day! The kids had a blast and so did we. We all watched this little chick hatch. It was really neat to see. Isn't he/she cute??
Here is the little glass pen for all the new little chicks. Corbin really liked watching them all.
Here PawPaw and Claire are waiting for the eggs to hatch
Corbin and I watching
One of the most fun parts of the rodeo was the kids petting zoo. There were so many animals for the kids to play with. Claire is our fearless child, She just ran around loving on all the animals.
There was a hill for the kids to roll down. Corbin thought it was great. He kept running back to the hill so he could play!
Claire loving on the baby animals.
Claire was tuckered out after such a fun day. She is so spoiled that she was carried most of the way to the car...
Corbin LOVED the tractors, he patiently waited in line to sit on the tractors. If the price tag on them wasn't so HUGe maybe we could get him one...
We headed out to the carnival to try our luck at winning something for the kids. We saw this Batman and knew Corbin would love it. He loves Batman! We had to play this fishing game to win him. I asked the guy how much I would have to pay him to just get Batman. He said 10 bucks and I said SOLD! I am so glad we got it for Corbin... He loves it!
Here is little Junie after a fun day at the Rodeo. She was just perfect all day. She just slept and watched from her stroller. She is so sweet!!
Corbin after the rodeo loving on his dog dog and new Batman. We really did have a lot of fun. Corbin thought we were goign to see elephants, but was just as happy seeing tractors. Friday night we had a SUPER FUN time at Aunt Natalie's doing somehting super special. As soon as she sends me the pics I will post them! Hope everyone is having a great weekend, we sure are!
