And Then There Were Two....

On Sunday April 13 we welcomed our second son Corbin Michael. He weighed in at 9lbs. 5oz. and was 22 inches long! That is a whole 2lbs. and 2 inches longer than his brother Cooper was at birth. I was expecting another 7 pounder but boy was I wrong! No wonder he was so much more difficult to push out!
I was thrilled that he was born on the 13th because that is my brothers birthday and we had already decided we were going to give him my brothers name for his middle name. So now he shares his birthday and name with his uncle Mike. I'm sure he'll grow up to be as good of a man as his uncle! He's definitely already taking after him in size!

Long Time Gone.........

I have decided to re-enter the blogging world. It has been so long I'm sure most people have given up on me! I know my mom has not, though, and it's good to know someone will be reading this! Anyway, a lot has happened since my last post but I'm not going to bother trying to catch up. I will just start from now. Enjoy!!!

Football

Here are a few random pictures of our little football prodigy. Ok, well not really. We were over at Scott's parents having Sunday dinner and Cooper was out back playing while Scott was barbecuing. Scott managed to capture a few shots of him in action. He's the next Tom Brady.

Chicken Little

These were taken a few days before Halloween when we were trying Cooper's costume on him. (I don't have any pics from Halloween night because I forgot the camera. Horrible mom, I know, but I like to blame it on pregnancy memory loss) We bought it at the beginning of October and last week he seemed to grow over night, so we thought we would try it on to make sure it still fit and luckily it did. This particular night he was overly tired and really not feeling his costume, hence the annoyed/whiny look on his face. Unfortunately these are the best pics we have and I had to post them so that my mom would stop sending me death threats.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Ty Pennington and his crew came to our small town of Corvallis, Oregon back in July to build a home for an adorable little girl who is battling cancer for the second time. Scott and I had the opportunity to volunteer. We picked up trash and handed out water to workers. It was very glamorous. It was interesting to see behind the scenes of a show I've been watching since it started. It airs this Sunday, October 7th. Tune in everyone!

1st Birthday!!!

Today was Coopers first birthday. I am amazed how fast time has flown. I'm still having nightmares from his delivery! Anyway, we had a little party for him on Friday with some family and friends and here are the pics from that night.

He wasn't too sure what he was supposed to do with the cake until we gave him a fork. We thought he would love to pick it apart with his hands, but apparently not. He didn't really start getting into it until he had his fill of cake with his fork.

Who Needs Toys.........

when there are pots and pans to play with? Like most kids I'm sure, Cooper likes to play in the kitchen cupboards rather than playing with his mounds of toys.
