cool as a cucumber

"I'm a rock star!"

My little buddy, He is so full of life and energy. I have not really pushed him to use words but he knows more than he lets on. One day I gave him a fig newton and he walks over to Matt and says, "Wanna bite?" He has been using his sign language more. Whenever he wants ( more) and may even say (please). Otherwise he uses his own signs and I let him. 
I have gotten his Easter outfit and while shopping found these sunglasses. He loves them. 

Cool as a cucumber he walks around the house thinking he's big stuff like his daddy. What a little Matt.

The happy little family

We went to the Armstrong wedding last Friday and thought nothing of taking Corbin with us. Um, mistake. It was my turn to watch over Corbin since Matt missed the last wedding. But anyway Corbin is such a big boy it couldn't be hard.  : ) Well, we were in the balcony, blessing for us. Corbin ran around and explored while we waited for the wedding to being. However, when the wedding did begin he wasn't going to sit quiet. He just cried and cried. It was so strange, I couldn't get him to quit. We left the room. I missed all but the last 2 min. Poor little boy. You can tell even at the end of the evening he was not a happy camper. 

Corbin's favorite thing to do outside right now is pick up sticks. If I don't watch he brings them in the house. He is so full of life. I have been intentionally spending lots of time with Corbin this week. Soon his time with mommy will be shared. 

No activity. In fact this week has been pretty calm. I want to hang in there at least till Sunday so that my doctor will be back from vacation. We have the nursery all ready. Corbin is moved out into his new room and all his stuff has been moved out. He loves his new fire truck room. In fact he has not even stepped foot in the nursery since his move. Wow! I thought there might be a little confusion but he is totally happy in his new room. So baby A has everything ready. Clothes in drawers, receiving blankets out, and baby swing ready. I am ready!

hair cut

I wanted to take a picture of Corbin and his new haircut, but he decided this would be a fun game to let mommy chase him around the house. 

I think he would drink/eat about anything if he was able to use a straw. 

My cutie pie!

Lambies

Here a few pictures of the new additions to the Murphy farm. Corbin is so fun to watch in the barn. He gets so excited. There were twins born on the Murphy farm last week. They are doing great, as well as mommy lamb. Here are a few pictures I could get in the flurry of the activity.

corbin wouldn't touch the lamb

he liked them better on the other side of the fence

Grandpa is the best in Corbin's eyes

I enjoy going to see the Murphy's. We have so much fun. What a place to have childhood memories.

Husbands

When warm weather hits Matt's itch is to dig around in his garage. Forget the other projects that need to be finished, his garage is calling his name. So the past few days he has been tinkering around and "organizing"/"Cleaning it up" Because he can't do the other things with a messy garage. Anyway part of this flurry of activity involved him mounting some cabinets and confiscating some cabinets to put on his wall. 

The confiscated cabinets are the ones I will draw your attention to. If you have been to our house the basement is a bit of a cave where all non-matched and not sure what to do with furniture and other "stuff" is taken until better use. The previous owners had this inset cabinet that Gretchen so rightly named the church basement cabinets. Anyway Matt decided that these would be perfect for out in the garage. I didn't really care, however, there is now a hole where the cabinets were (no paneling to cover the studs) and all the junk we had hid in the cabinets are now stacked willy nilly around the basement. Yeah, no follow through for what he will do with stuff, just I need this so everything else can sit out. 

Is your husband like this?

Any bets on how long or where the stuff will go? or who will end up doing something with it?

Maple Syrup Festival

This saturday was an amazing day to be outdoors. We went with my family to the Maple Syrup Festival in Salem/Henryville. The weather was perfect, the space was crowded, and the company was fantastic. Depending on your age you may be attracted to the festival for different reasons. My dad likes the bluegrass music, the girls like to walk around to the shops, my mom likes running into homeschool families, matt and I like the food, and we found that Corbin likes the games and animals(ranging from dogs to horses)

This was Corbin's favorite game, the little ball was just his size.

Matt chased after Corbin most of the day. Why is it that boys have this urge to be king of the hill. Here Corbin at one decides that this is what he must do. He ended up taking a nose dive down the back side of the mud mound.

Like father, like son. "Just give me a fork. I like it all."

We had a great time together.  After a day of walking and eating maple cotton candy, I needed a rest. Swollen ankles.

We went by the Reid's for dinner after. It was wonderful to have some time to visit. We hadn't had time to visit with just them since they moved in dec. That is unacceptable to me. Eric grilled and Tracey made corn on the cob, baked potatoes, and strawberry shortcake. Yumm! What a way to treat a pregnant lady. LOL.

thanks trace
