Corbin and the Snake

We went to visit my friend and her little brother has a ball python. Corbin loves animals (which is amazing since his parents don't) so we thought it would be fun to show him the snake in the tank. Well when we were done looking Corbin was not satisfied so they took the snake out of the tank for Corbin to see. I was totally freaked out, but of course I couldn't leave the room with my child holding a snake! So I was forced to watch as Corbin carelessly handled the snake. Here are some of the pictures of Corbin the snake handler.

Snow

Yay for Snow! We took Corbin outside to play in the snow for the first time. He liked it, except he had a hard time walking at first and it kind of reminded me of the kid on A Christmas Story. :) When we first got out side we tried to show him how to make a snow angel...that didn't go over so well, I don't think he liked the snow falling in his face. He recovered though and had a wonderful time in the snow and later was laying down in it with no problem.

Update

I am so far behind with my blog so I will just add a picture for each big event...
This is at the Pumpkin Patch, where the Pumpkins were called "balls."

Halloween: Corbin was a Train Conductor. He was successful at Trick-or-Treating and insisted on walking the whole time.

Corbin's 2nd Birthday: Got lots of great presents! I can't believe he is already 2!

Here is our family of 3...

And why do Colby and I look so happy? Because we will soon be a family of 4!

Need I say more...

Florida

Somehow I totally forgot to blog about our trip to Florida. Colby and I decided we needed a little vacation, we went to Florida in the middle of August right before school started. We left Corbin at home, which was really hard since we were going to be gone for 7 days, but I survived. I was really sad about leaving him, but once we left I was able to relax and enjoy myself, but towards the end I was ready to come home. Florida was a blast! We flew into Tampa and hung out at the beach for the day, then we went to Orlando to stay. We did Universal Studios, Epcot, and lots of shopping. We also got to eat at Emeril's, which was tons of fun and yummy! We totally forgot the camera at Universal Studios so we don't have any pics there and then our battery died while we were at Epcot so we don't have a ton of pics. One night we went miniature golfing and we got to "feed live gators"! It was funny because all the mini golf courses advertised that. I totally screamed the whole time! :)


Universals was pretty intense it was a lot of fun. Except, I'm totally a wimp and got sick after one of the roller coasters. Other than that it was fun. Epcot was my favorite part of the trip. I loved going around to the different countries and eating the food. It was all so yummy!



This is in Mexico! Don't we look great!?

I did realize something on this trip...I could never live in a tropical climate! It was so humid there, I thought I was going to melt! The trip was also good for Corbin to get to spend time with his grandparents. He had tons of fun...case in point...when we brought him home the first time we told him no he freaked out. We came to the conclusion that the Grandmas never told him no. Ha ha ha! I guess that's what makes them Grandmas. I think he missed us towards the end of the trip too, because he found our picture at my parents and was like "where mom and dad?" and then carried around our picture for a while. It feels good to be missed and loved!

Are U Ready?

We are excited for the Utes football season to start! (When I say we I mean mostly Colby.) Corbin is also geared up and excited for the season! Check out the follow through!
Future QB? Who knows...I think he has some growing to do.

Bear Lake 2009

We went on our annual Bear Lake trip with my family this past week and had tons of fun. It was nice to take a break from everything and be with family. Corbin loved it up there! He learned to say "side" meaning he wanted to go outside and now that we are home he can't figure out where the beach and all of his cousins went. He loved playing in the sand and water.



Corbin also has quite the arm on him and wanted so bad to play football with his uncles and dad. He tried so hard to be big and he was constantly carrying around some type of sports ball.

It's so fun to watch him and my little nieces and nephews playing on the beach because not long ago that was me playing on the beach with all of my cousins. I miss those days, we had so much fun. Boy how time flies! I think it's great that my family has keep on the tradition and keeps coming back every year. My dad has been doing this ever since he was a little boy.

For the Fourth of July we went with Colby's family to dinner and watched fireworks with them. Corbin was so hyper (probably due to all the sugar his grandparents gave him) he was was lots of fun, he was seriously out of control running everywhere and climbing all over everyone, but as soon as the fireworks started he was in total awe and he sat still for about 10 min and then he was crazy again and just having the time of his life. Needless to say he crashed as soon as we put him in his car seat. This is a picture of Corbin with his uncle TJ chowing down on some yummy kettle corn. Notice the ear plugs in TJ's ears in preparation for the fireworks. :) (This is another big step for TJ and his relationship with Corbin.)
