Mommy's Night Off!

Corbin wanted to go to the game with daddy.... ...so he packed his bag...
...and off they went! It was a wonderful night off for mommy! She got to read a book and do some laundry! And when the game was over Corbin still had enough energy left to hang out with mommy and daddy half the night!

Calling Grandma

Corbin wanted to say hi! So he pressed the button!
And it said..."It's Grandma!"

Corbin said "Hello! uggh! uggh! ummm! dadaaaa! ohhh!"

Just Like Daddy

Corbin found daddy's tie! How does this thing work?
He's getting it! Just a few lessons from daddy and he will have it down!

The parties over!

Corbin tried to sneak off in Grandma's bag!We won't have even noticed he was gone!
He fit just perfect in Gma's bag!
Trick rider!

August 24 - Family Party!

On Corbin's birthday, the grandparents arrived and uncles Simon and Evan! Corbin got his first taste of donut (as far as mommy knows anyway).
Then it was time to rip into the gifts! He likes to take his sweet time...play with an old toy for a while then come back to the new ones!
He makes sure to always read the card first!
Watch out...Corbin's on the move!
And believe it or not...he even got his first RC car! Corbin didn't seem to understand the point of it though! He pushed it around!

It was a great birthday though!

Guess who's ONE!!!!

Wake up sleepy head!!! Why? What going on?
I have something to tell you!
What is it???
It's good! I promise!
For real...It's Corbin's birthday! He is one! I can't believe it! Our little baby is all grown up!

Time to CELEBRATE!!!!

Have We Got a Fish Tale!!!

On Wednesday, we went fishing! And Joel caught a fish - 'this big'!!! All Emily caught was a couple weeds - 'this big'!!!

Ok...so some friends of ours invited us up to a cabin on Lake Metigoshe! It was so much fun and really nice to have a day to relax and unwind! We fished and talked for most of the afternoon! We hoped to eat our catch.....but no such luck! Luckily there was some from a prior catch so we didn't have to starve! It was some good eats and great times!

Off to College!

Uncle Simon is back to school! So we went to see his new dorm room! Corbin was more interested in all the game systems they have!
He was ready to play! Just had to turn it on!
When he got bored with the Playstation....he wanted to play Guitar Heros!
Then it was time to kick back and relax!

On the Road, Again!!

We hit the road, again, on Monday! Corbin got to hang out in his new car seat! We drove down to Gma & Gpa's!
It rained a little when we were there! Corbin loves to look out the windows/doors!
Corbin got his first Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt from Uncle Evan from when he was in Florida!
Then on Monday...we headed up to Fargo to meet Dan & Christine. We ate at Famous Dave's!!! Corbin finished an entire kids meal!!! But wasn't to sure about the corn!
We shopped a bit and then sat down for some coffee! It was fun to catch up!

New Shoes!!!

When Corbin started walking almost 3 months ago, I wanted to get shoes on him....but he won't have it. So, every once in a while I try them on again...and he falls, and falls, and falls! And then screams! This time, he didn't scream though! He just got up and walked!
I was so excited that he finally got to use them! He got them when he was born as a gift...
and now that he's almost one! He knows how to use them!

FIRST PLACE, BABY!!!! WHOO HOO!!!

Even though we had a pretty disappointing game in Denver.... the Cubs are now in 1st place! Amazing!

(Now we just hope they will stay that way....hopefully by the time this is posted it will still be true!)

Corbin's phone

Corbin has started to pretend he is on the phone...all the time! Everything becomes his phone! Sometimes he uses an actual phone, sometimes it's a toy....but now it is his bottle! I had to show you his skill!
He is having a pretty long discussion with however is on the other end!
