Big Boy Bed



Moving and trying to transition a boy from a crib to a bed is a bit of a daunting task.  We were trying to decide how to do all of that at once.  I decided to go for it and we bought Corbin a new "big boy bed" when we moved into our new house.  I was worried that the transition would not be smooth, but it was amazingly easy.  The first few times, he didn't even get out of bed in the morning.  He would stay in his bed and call for us from there.  We would come into his room and tell him that he could get out, a he would climb down.  Now he gets up in the morning and comes into our bedroom to see if we are awake.

The move to the new house was surprisingly smooth.  I would credit that to the fact that my parents came up from Utah and helped for a good week.  Jeremy was amazed at the progress.  He would go to work and when he came back in the evening, the house was more and more put together.  My dad even went as far as refinishing two bedroom sets of furniture for us.  They were a great help.

Children's Museum

While Mandy and her family were visiting this summer, we went to the Children's Museum.  It was fun because we had never been there before.  Corbin Loved it, but somehow we didn't get any pictures of the whole group together. 

Corbin wasn't exactly thrilled to be on the bed of nails.  I had to snap this picture before he hopped off.

We had a lot of fun with Mandy and her boys.  Too bad Steve was in Spokane for most of it

July 4th

We had a good Fourth of July.  We had a BBQ at Jeremy's parents the day before the Fourth and had our own fireworks show thanks to Grandpa Burdette.

We had quite the group as you can see below.  Mandy and her boys came up for a week, so Corbin had extra cousins to play with during that time. 

Corbin has a new love of sparklers.  He had always been afraid of them, but loved them once he got his hands on them.  We tried to get some more after the Fourth, but they don't sell fireworks here after the Fourth.
It was a great Fourth here.  Quite a bit different than what we were used to before, but still good.

Two peas in a pod

Jeremy's sister and brother-in-law were gracious enough to allow us to live with them for a while until we found a house closer to Jeremy's new job.  Their youngest is a few years older than Corbin and they had an absolute ball together.  They thought it would be a great idea to jump in the pool fully clothed...


Oh... there were days when they seemed to be at each others' throats, but most of the time they got along great and asked for the other when they were separated.
Now that we are in our house about 45 minutes away, Corbin misses his cousin Ashton a lot.  Thanks for everything Kris and Marlon!!!
