The Good the Bad and the Ugly

We had quite a weekend. (now with pictures)

The Good-Corbin finished swimming lessons Friday He learned to float on his back, do bobs in and out of the water and swim a little with his face under. Also Derek's brother and sisters are in town, just flew in yesterday. We look forward to a fun week with them.









The Bad- We had our first trip to the emergency room yesterday. It's such an awful story, it keeps playing over and over in my head. Corbin's finger got chewed up by an escalator in a department store. The employees were of NO help. Customers were getting us paper towels and ice and calling 911. ( that is a whole story all on it's own) We did make it to the hospital where a plastic surgeon was able to sew him back up. He thinks that he saved the finger (right index, good thing this little guy is a lefty) but we just have to wait and see if it heals.

Luckily It was a family outing, if Derek hadn't been with us I don't know if I could have handled it. Pops and Bryon came down to the hospital to give Corbin a blessing and take Cooper home with them. That was a blessing all on it's own and it really helped calm Corbin down. He has been playing and not complaining about pain. We hope that lasts. But no more swimming for a while and no more moving stairs!



The Ugly- on a lighter note we had out house painted. No more ugly peeling brown and tan for us baby....we went green with blue & white trim. I know it's not the standard around here but we love it.

New Addiction

Too busy to blog...

I'm totally addicted...

to my blurb book.

It is so much fun! It's takes some time though.

For the next one I will start downloading each month instead of doing an entire years worth of blog entries all at once.

I'm so excited to finish, have it printed.....and find out how much this 'habit' of mine is gonna cost me.

Brothers for LIEf

Corbin is officially a big brother today.

I know that Cooper is over a year old, but today it happened.

Corbin used his big brother, I can talk and you can't, status to his advantage.

I had discovered that the temperature in the fridge had been turned to zero. A common occurrence lately that sends Corbin to time out.

His reply "I not turn i' off.....Cooper did it."

If Cooper knew how to climb up the shelves and roll the little dial at the the top, he may have ended up in time out instead of his crafty older brother.

Patella Pa-toola

Derek has a broken knee...a fractured patella... a bum leg. He has been home for the last 2 week trying to heal.

He's not feeling great, but the boys love having him home all day.


I have been trying to keep the kids busy so he has quite time to rest.

I am tired.

But Derek is going CRazY....
