Mia came for a visit!


We got to spend a little time with Mia this weekend! The cousins always have a great time when they are together!Every night when I come to give Corbin a kiss goodnight.....among other things....I say, "Of all the boys in the world...God gave me the very best one!" Well today I said, "Of all the Brothers in the world...God gave Chloe the very best one!"

I really can't say it enough....I am so proud of the Big Brother that Corbin is. He is kind, thoughtful and caring to his baby sister. He is also a great protector! I am realistic...I know this love fest won't go on forever. I just pray that the Lord will help me to continue to teach my kids to care, love and enjoy each other. I pray he will give me guidance in teaching them the importance of family and being there for each other. I pray that these two sweet faces in the above picture will come to know the Lord at an early age and live their lives through Him and with his guiding Hand! (Corbin has been asking me about Baptism a lot lately...I am going to bring him into "Big Church" next Sunday to watch the Baptisms....fun and amazing stuff to see through kids eyes) I pray that the Lord will help David and I raise these kids knowing that in OUR house we serve the Lord. As for today, I am humbled and thankful to Him for my two happy, beautiful and healthy babies. Lord, please give David and I strength and courage as You help us guide our children's lives to love and live for You.

Pumpkin Patch (with one kid)

So after Church on Sunday...Poppy, Corbin and Mama headed out to the Pumpkin Patch near Poppy's house. Chloe was sick and so Daddy stayed home. I will have to get Miss Chloe out to see all the pumpkins when she is feeling better! We had a great time! "I can to pick this BIG pumpkin up, Poppy!"

Corbin is picking out a perfect small pumpkin for his sister!




We took a hayride!

We saw smelly pigs!

It was a beautiful day to spend it outside! Happy Fall to everyone!

Corbin and Poppy

Corbin and Poppy are best buds! They talk almost everyday on the phone and usually don't go more than 10 or so days without seeing each other. If Poppy is in town they probably see each other two times a week. When I was pregnant with Corbin, Poppy use to talk to my tummy and say, "I will be your favorite person!" Sure enough... that is pretty much true. They have a really special bond that is hard to explain in words...I think they always will.

So now here is the problem! They are nothing but TROUBLE, TROUBLE, TROUBLE!!! The older Corbin gets the more trouble they get into! Even though they are a mess, I think it is fun that Corbin has someone in his life that he can snuggle, wrestle, have serious talks, tell secrets to and be nothing but silly with!

When I see this starting to happen...I know we are in trouble! :)Who knows what the boys is saying! By the reaction of the two of them....I am sure it is pretty entertaining!They both are really into the Wii right now! They really are the best of buds....all they need to have a good time is to be together!

Cowboys and Redskins

As many of you know David is a big Redskins fan....I know....I know...he just always has been a big fan! Well, Corbin loves Tony Romo and the Cowboys, but he wants to like his Dad's team as well. We told him he can like both! So we were going to some friends house to watch the game last Sunday and David told Corbin, "buddy you can wear your Cowboy's jersey and your Redskin's hat!" Corbin then said, "Who is going to win?" David told him probably the Cowboys....so Corbin decided not to wear any Redskin stuff. (Corbin usually sides with the winning team....in the Olympics he was cheering for China to win in gymnastics!) Well...turns out the Redskins pulled out the win. Corbin was fine and booed David all the way home...I think we officially have a house divided!

Here are the boys ready to watch the big game! They have their game face on in the bottom picture! Go Cowboys!!

PIGGY'S

Today we tried Piggy Tails for the first time! Miss Chloe Dawn still needs a little more hair...but I gave it a try! :) She said, "Don't Like It!!! Don't Like It!! Off...Off...Off!" But she let me take her picture.... and when she saw the picture she said, "Oh pretty!"
