Family night at the Boondocks

For family night one Monday we decided to take trip to the Boondocks! We had so much fun and it was just another thing that we were able to do just us as a little family. This place is new and it has lots of fun things to do. It has an out side where you can mini golf, bumper boats, go-cart race, and other things. Inside they have arcades, food, laser tag, and bowling. For our first trip there we let Pat take Corbin on a go-cart ride. Pat said he was just very chill and not sure what to do or say so he kinda just sat there. After that we played some arcades, Corbins favorite was the motorcycle. Pat's favorite was of course a flying fighter jet one. After that we decided to bowl which was a first for Corbin! He did really well but hated using the rolly thingy to help you push the ball down. Peyton got pretty bored and decided to use the tables as a jungle gym. We had so much fun and I am loving all this time we are spending together as a family.

Growing up so fast!

Peyton has been growing up so fast. He seems to want to be one step ahead of what Corbin was when he was this age. At Peyton's 6 month check up I asked his doctor if it was ok that he was doing some of the things he is doing or if its will effect him in the long run and his doctor said it was really good and that he would be fine. Peyton was sitting up at 5 months and crawling at 6. Right when he started crawling he was already wanting to pull himself up on things. This is all so sad for me because he is my baby and he doesn't want to be. Please will someone make him slow down?!

This is a video of him when he was learning how to crawl. I am glad I was able to catch this moment so I can always remember it.

Disney On Ice

We decided to take Corbin to Disney on Ice this year because Cars was going to be there. Even though Corbin is getting older and not liking the baby stuff anymore. One thing stays the same and that is that he loves Cars! We were a little bummed because Cars was only about 5 min of the whole show, but the cars were pretty big so they couldn't do much. Also there was Little Mermaid, which I like and Lion King which Corbin also liked. I have video of alot of the show, but it takes alot to upload so you only get to see Cars and Little Mermaid. The last half was Tinker Bell and we were all bored, so during that part we sat around and ate Ice cream and cotton candy and took pictures. It was alot of fun being a little family and doing our own thing. Normally we do things like this with my whole family, but it was really nice to have it just us. It was worth the money and some good family bonding time.

4 Eyed Geek =p

Yep! Thats right... I have to wear glasses now. Thank goodness the doctor said I dont have to wear them all the time, but I find that I prefer wearing them more than I thought I would. I never knew the world could look so crisp and clear! It was lots of fun going to the eye doctor. I have never been until now so it was interesting to see what they do. As I suspected, my right eye is worse. That is the side I had all my strokes on. For now I am excited to wear the glasses. We'll see how I feel in a couple weeks. Let me know what you think. I got 2 pair, but this is only one of them. I will try to post some pictures of the other ones later. Everyone likes these ones the most anyways.

Here is a picture of my second pair.

Why God? Why?!

I dont know if I am aloud to say God like that, but thats how I feel because my baby boy is ALREADY 6 months old!!! I dont think it is fair at all! When I get to heaven I have 2 things I am going to bring up with the lord and 1 of them is, Why do our babies have to grow up so fast?!

I took Peyton to the doctors today, hoping to get his 6 month well check done, only to find out he is now on his 4th ear infection (both ears). The doctor said he is well on his way to having 6 this year which means he will get tubes put in. I wish they would just put them in now and save Peyton and Me the trouble of having to go through 2 more ear infections, but the doc says its best. Whatever! So I am not able to post how his growth is progressing on this post. I will say though, he seems to be progressing just fine to me! He is full on sitting up by himself with no tip overs, He thinks he needs to crawl too, but I am so thankful he hasn't yet! I give him another month and will probably be posting about him crawling. He loves being a big boy and sitting at the table with us for dinner. He is a very good eater when it comes to baby food. He is still such a happy, calm, and content boy. He will usually just chill as long as he can be in the same room as you. I am so in love with this baby boy, he makes my heart melt everyday. Even though I am sad he is growing up so fast, I cant wait to see what the next 6 months bring!

Mix Up in Heaven

So I am not sure if these pictures do it justice, but I think Peyton and BrookeLynn got mixed up in Heaven. I think that Katelynn, Mattie, and Peyton should have been brothers and sisters and Corbin and BrookeLynn should have been brothers and sisters. These are baby pictures of Katelynn when she was a baby. I tried finding picutres that kinda matched and I dont have any so I just took a few pictures of Peyton. Let me know if you guys see it. Katelynn, Mattie, and Peyton are all fair skinned, Blue eyes, and Blonde hair. Brooke and Corb are dark complected, dark hair, and dark eyes! I think its kinda fun.

This picture doesn't really match the ones of Katelynn, but I had to throw it in there because this is a picture of Peyton thinking he needs to start trying to learn to crawl. Little terd! The dang kid isn't even 6 months old yet. I guess the poor kid just sees everyone else running around and thinks he needs to do it too. I am trying to prevent him from crawling as much as possible. I dont care if I am a bad mom for trying to hold him back, ALRIGHT?! He needs to stop growing up so fast!

K I know this it totally Ghetto that I took a picture of a picture, but I think this picture shows the difference between them. I dont have a scanner to scan this picture for a better look, but you can kinda see it. We took this picture for a Christmas present for my parents. Its the first picture with all the grandkids.

Priceless

I have a friend who is so freakin awesome!!! She painted this picture of Corbin and Peyton with Christ. I am totally in love with it. I cant believe how good of a job she did. She is amazing. She does all sorts of paintings like this. I took her family pictures for her at the Layton park and she turned it into a painting. Thank you so much Amanda for doing this. This is something I will cherish FOREVER!!!
