Nicholas' Birthday party

Mommy knows one friend at her new work from a previous "travel nurse" assignment back in 2003...

so we met her son, Nicholas, and had a great night getting to know some other people in Fresno.

Playing with the older boys

Eating dinner with some of the kids at the party

Dixie dog & Corben

Corben really loves being around our dog Dixie, and I think she starting to feel better about him, well for sure when he drops food for her to eat.

Take a look back when Corben was 6 months old, admiring Dixie dog

Blog Book

I transferred the entire blog into a book for Corben.

It includes all of his adventures & milestones during his 1st year of life.

Mirror

Corben found the shoe mirror while shopping with Daddy & Mommy

Yosemite

Daddy & Corben walking down to the river
We spent a great day in Yosemite...big trees, lots of waterfalls, short hikes, fun!!

Corben loved hearing the river water and playing with the river ROCKS

Stopping many times to see the waterfalls and beautiful scenering in Yosemite

Brideveil Falls

We saw many beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite today

Oh no....

Corben very sad after pooping during bath time. He cried and wanted out instantly!

Mom of course had to run and get the camera.

Having fun outside

Popcorn...

Meme got Corben this "popcorn popper" awhile ago and everyone kept asking when he could stand and pull it.......well the fun and loud popping noise is here.

(that is not pee on his pants, I just wiped off a strawberry stain!...he actually has liked strawberries the past few days, probably because we get them so fresh from the farms!)

Sand

The sand is finally here, and oh, it is Corben's favorite new thing!

View of Corben throwing lots of sand out of the sandbox.
With all the sand constantly being thrown out of the sandbox onto the ground, I guess I am wondering why I thought this would be a good idea...Boys play hard and make messes, Mommy is still trying to understand!

Outside

Corben loves to play outside many times a day!!

Water play table

Thanks Papa John & Meme for our new water/sand play table!!
Notice how wet Corben is from the water!
The other part of the table is for sand, coming soon.

Eating with a fork

Corben eating chicken, broccoli, and wheat maccaroni & cheese with a fork!!

Sandals

Corben in his sandals...and a sweat shirt?! It was cold, but he just loves his new sandals...

so socks and all he went outside to play today with dog Dixie.

Playing peek-a-boo anywhere he can!!

Empty

Emptying Mom's kitchen towel drawer...

he actually then put most of them back into the drawer.
