Happy Birthday Daddy/Dippy/DADA

Happy Birthday Chris!
We hope you have a great day, because you deserve it! Thank you for being such a good husband and dad. We love you! Here are the things that I would say we each love most about you!
me: I love that you would rather spend time with us than anyone else in the world. I LOVE that you would pretty much pass up anything if it meant getting to be with us.
Corbin: I think your scrubba loves that you are his best friend. He loves how you call him your big man, he loves that you wrestle with him... He likes how each and every day after you drop him off at school you wave to him through the window. I think he wants to grow up to be just like you, and I hope he does...
Princess: Well, Claire obviously thinks you are pretty wonderful. She now calls you Dippy rather than Daddy. When she wakes up in the night, she wants her Dippy. Claire loves that you have mastered doign her hair for school complete with a bow. Claire loves that she is your princess and always will be. She loves that you take her to get hot dogs at the donut store, and that you always make eggies with her on the weekend.
Itty Bitty/Sissy: Caroline gets so excited when you walk through the door. Her eyes light up and she starts jumping and making her little noise that she makes. She loves that you rock her to sleep every single night. I think she loves that she looks just like you too!
They love you, and I love you!
Have a great day!

Just me and my bubber...

Yesterday I took the day off of work to go on Corbin's school field trip to Dewberry Farms. I am so glad that I went. It was so fun just spending the day with him, and seeing him interact with all his friends. The kids all had a lot of fun, and so did I. I just love this little boy, that after looking at these pictures doesn't look so little. All the kiddos got to pick a pumpkin, he picked one that looked more like a lemon.

Soccer & The Park

Tonight Corbs had soccer. It is a fun night because soccer is at a park with a playground, so all the kids have a great time. We are there for a few hours, they come home eat, then are ready for bed! Claire just being cute Claire.
It is so cute watching little kids play sports...
Corbin and his friend Briley.. Two of his buddies Jack and Briley are in lessons too which makes it extra fun for him.
Rather than make the kids wear different colored jerseys today the coach made them into hats. He thought it was pretty cool.

Caroline loves being outside

Saturday we went to my old elementary school's playground. It was a really fun playground for the kids. I know it seems like my posts are all a bit repetitive with parks and what not.. but the kids LOVE being outside, it makes them happy.. and when the three of them are happy, I am the happiest! So, therefore we spend a lot of time parkin it!

Two little monkeys!
having fun...

Caroline likes to roam around the patio while the big kids are out there playing. She has learned to crawl on all fours so that her knees don't get scraped up on the concrete. Looks pretty adorable. I cannot tell you how many pieces of chalk I have retrieved from her mouth.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch one day after school this week. The kids were so excited to pick out pumpkins. They weren't even looking at them closely.. they would just run and get one, then run back for another. They made a huge pile of all the ones they wanted, and then I secretly started putting some back.
I tried, and tried to get all my babies to look at me and smile.. I got close.
The kids have been outside in the backyard everyday after school. My mom gave us this huge outdoor table, and they have put it to good use. They have been eating dinner out there, and doing all of their arts & crafts. Maybe this will help cut down on having marker on walls and furniture (thank you Claire)!

I love this time of year!

October Fun

Today we wen to the zoo. It was a really nice morning, and we all enjoyed it. We took the kids to the dinosaur exhibit, it was really neat.
Caroline saw a lot of the zoo from the stroller.. then she got carried all around.
All three looking at the meerkats.
The aquarium was the part Corbin wanted to see the most. He really loves all sea life. I think Claire liked the elephants best.
My three pumpkins.
Does it get any cuter??? Nope.
Our sweet bub, Or as Chris calls him his little scrub. I swear we have a million and five nicknames for the kids, and they respond to them all. Corby still loves his dog dog, we don't leave home without it. It goes EVERYWHERE with us... 4 years with this scraggly thing.. it looks rough.Well loves i guess.
Claire makes eggs with Chris every Sat. They are the only two that like them.. She loves making eggies with Daddy.
We have been spending a lot of time in the backyard and at the park. I love this weather, and so do the kids.
Jumping like always!

Last weekend we went to Galveston for my birthday.. it turned into one big mess... Caroline has been sick off and on for a month, but it got a little worse while we were there. She has been on antibiotics and breathing treatments for a respiratory infection.. but got the throw ups while we were there... Claireb was running on the deck and got one big splinter in her foot. This was the biggest chunk of wood splinter. We tried to get it out, the pediatric place tried, then sent us to the ER. After huge shots in her foot and a scalpel, it was out.. All I can say is she is really brave. She got a movie at Target and a trip to the manicure place for being so brave. I stayed home Monday to take care of the sick kiddos.. Caroline got her lungs rechecked Thurs and they were clear. Today she started coughing again with wheezing so we are back on the breathing treatments. AHHH
She loved the huge band- aid as she called it.
Here we are the morning before the disasters occurred. We went to the strand and stopped for some candy! Here are Corby, Claire and Soph. Caroline was at the beach house with my parents since she was sick... not puking at this point,, but sick.
We went to Moody Gardens which was a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed it.
My boys. I love how when you tell Corby to smile this is what you get.
Me and my bub looking at the shark.. I was thining about how I would escape with all the kids if the tank cracked. crazy I know.
Showing Claire the cool fish.
All the kids so excited to get to Moody Gardens.
Mad Caroline! I still think this is cute.

I love this little girl. so. much.
