Cute Boy

 We sure think this is one cute boy...

 He sure loves his blanket...

 

I think we'll keep him...

Meeting the Easter Bunny

 We took a trip to the mall and were fortunate to be there when they had the Easter Bunny.  Corbin saw the sign as we walked in and would not stop talking about it until we agreed to let him see the Easter Bunny.

We thought Hudson might get nervous, but he didn't even flinch.

He also never looked at anything other than off to the side.

Corbin was so happy to show off his bunny mask that was given to him.

The ears hat was also a great hit.

Wahooz

While the family that came up from Utah was still here, we decided to take the kids out to have some fun at Wahooz.  We got there just as they were opening and it was a Monday, so we didn't have to wait in line for anything.

First Corbin and I tried the go-karts.  Nobody else was there, but we totally would have won.

 Later, Jeremy and Corbin raced Tara and Memphis.  Tara didn't get going when they started, and it wasn't even close.  I guess Corbin kept yelling, "We're winning!!!" the entire time.

They didn't win, but still had a good time...

Corbin really wanted to do the Motorcycle racing game.  He loves motorcycles and four wheelers.

The boys decided to play some mini golf.  This was an interesting challenge.  Jeremy said that the boys lost interest after about the second hole. Corbin did enjoy Grandpa Larry helping him learn the basics. 

We had such a good time and the boys all left with prizes they picked with their tickets. 

Happy Birthday Corbin

 Corbin turned three years old on April 10 and we were lucky to be able to celebrate his birthday along with Hudson's blessing that same day...

 

 My mom told Corbin that he could have whatever he wanted on his birthday cake.  After a lot of going back and forth and not being able to decide, this is what he decided to have on his cake.

 He was so happy to have so much family there to sing Happy Birthday to him.

  Corbin had told me a few days eariler that when he made his wish while blowing out his candles, he was going to wish for a big kid bike.  I was really glad because we had already decide to get him one because he was too big for his other one.

 We're still trying to get him to really smile when taking pictures...

 

 He had to have a helmet to go with his bike, and he said that he liked this helmet over the alternatives.

We are so fortunate to have Corbin as our son.  We love him and can't wait to see what the next year brings...

Hudson's Blessing

We had Hudson's blessing on April 10, which was Corbin's birthday, so we got to have one party for two occasions.

We had to have some pictures before going to church

We were fortunate to have my parents come a few days early and then stay for a while

Nick and Tara also came with their kids.  We had to have a picture of the boys in their vests on the rocking chairs.

My mom and dad with their grandchildren that were there.

Jeremy's parents came and brought his Grandma Pratt. 

It turned out to be such a nice day.  The kids all went and ate and played outside.

The adults stayed inside.  Here is Jeremy's older sister Kristin and Uncle Dean.

Hudson was so good during the blessing and afterward.  He loves to be cuddled.  I think he could have chilled with Tara forever.

We had such a great day and are grateful for the those that were able to come and take part. 

Play Dates

We really enjoy where we live because of all of the kids that Corbin gets to play with from the neighborhood and we are relatively close to family.  

We really had a good time when Karli came over with her boys for a play date.  We have not seen them since about the time we first moved up here and were still looking for a house.  I really enjoy getting to spend time with Karli.

Corbin had a great time with Grayson and still talks about the time that his "friend Grayson" came over and the had pop sickles.

Spring?

 We had quite the April Fool's prank.  It was so sunny and nice for that one single day...  We decided to take advantage of the day and take Hudson for his first stroller ride outside without being covered up.  Corbin had some sunglasses from his Build-A-Bear monkey that he got a long time ago and Jeremy put these glasses on Hudson.  

The glasses didn't last long.

We even put on shorts for the occasion.  Here is Corbin sporting his shorts on his bike.

It definitely was an April Fool's prank.  There has not been another day quite like that since...
