Deployment

Jacob is leaving soon & I am trying to keep calm. Mainly for Korbin’s sake. Otherwise I’d be a complete wreck!!! 4 days to go. We are going to be out of our apartment on the 16th, clean it & turn in keys on the 17th. I still need to change my address with the post office! Ugh, so much to do! We’re really making progress on packing the apartment. Monday we’re going to rent a U-Haul to move from one storage unit to a bigger one & move the stuff from the apartment. After everything is out, we’re going to stay in a hotel until my mom gets here to drive back to Arizona with us. I’m so glad I started packing early. We only had about a weeks notice of the official date. Gotta love the Army! I’ll update my other blog with all of the Army info & try to keep this blog about the kids. If you’d like to have access to my private blog, send me a comment & I will add you.

Munchkin Monday

Yesterday we took Korbin to see Disney Live Rockin’ Roadshow! He had so much fun watching Mickey & his friends sing & dance on stage. Even Jacob enjoyed himself! After the show we went to Texas Roadhouse with some friends who were also at Disney Live. When we got home we watched a movie & Korbin fell asleep on the floor, fully dressed!  

On Saturday Korbin woke up with a fever of 103.4, so we spent the morning in the emergency room. He was diagnosed with bilateral ear infections and given antibiotics. As usual, this did not stop him from playing & running around like nothing was wrong. He is doing a little better today, but now has a cough & still runs a low fever.  Thankfully, I have not caught whatever it is that is going around!

Wordless Wednesday

Munchkin Monday

Finally!

We have been scheduled! Baby J will grace us with her long awaited presence on March 12, 2010!!!!

We helped some friends move into their new house on Saturday. The picture is of Korbin helping Jacob & Andrew get the fireplace started. He’s such a big helper :)

 

Here are the boys playing in a box. They did this all by themselves, banging on the sides like drummers!

I’m sure every parent loves to show their kid off and I am definitely one of them! Today we picked up Jacob from work & had to wait quite a while. So, to pass the time we colored on a white board, showing off how Korbin can recognize & help spell his name! He’s getting a lot better at recognizing the letters on their own (not just when written in his name). He is a big hit with the Echo Co. soldiers & officers. High fives all around, joking with the guys & generally causing chaos! Just like the big boys!

Wordless Wednesday

Munchkin Monday

I was hoping to do a Munchkin Monday about Baby J, but we didn’t get to schedule her arrival. So, I will just have to brag a bit about Korbin.

He has a wild imagination! I asked him the other day if he had fun playing with friends and he told me he had fun on the merry-go-round. I asked him what he was talking about and he said “At the carnival!” He is so good at pretending, too.

At my doctor’s appointment yesterday he was pretending to drive a boat using a rolling chair. Then he & Jacob were pretending my boots were puppets! It was so cute!

Next Monday I have another appointment with my doctor where we should schedule Baby J’s arrival!

Wordless Wednesday: Hanging Out

Munchkin Monday

I'm stealing this idea from a friend. 

Every Monday I'm going to try to post something about Korbin. Maybe just a picture or something funny he said or did.

This is his awesome after nap bed-head! When he saw this picture he told me, "Mom, I like a dork" (translation: I look like a dork)

 

Family Pictures

New Years Eve & A Little of 2010

The first picture is from New Years Eve. We went to Murphy's Grill with my dad and Korbin got a blow-up guitar. He danced around and played his guitar. :) The second picture is the night of the 1st on our long drive home. He put his blanket over his head to sleep.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was awesome! We had to wake Korbin up to open presents :) He got lots of cool toys but by far his favorite was from Santa... the tool workbench. Jacob got spoiled and my mom bought him a special tree: white with black ornaments. Our family tradition is having biscuits & gravy for breakfast (I always get stuck making them!) Joey & Tyler tried to sleep in but Jacob & I woke them up bright & early! After spending the morning with my mom we went to Jacob's aunt & uncle's house for dinner. It was a long day!
