Clovis Big Hats Day

Corben didn't want to ride any rides with friend Nicholas....

however, when he saw the big fire engine he wanted to ride!

Although the joy was short lived and then the screaming began...

the ride was super fast and scared Corben.

Walking around downtown Clovis with freind Beth and Nicholas, Beth's sister and Gennifer were also with us.  There were so many people and so many vendors!  Will definitely go again with Caleb, managing two kids with this many people was a little rough.  Due to Mason's stranger anxiety and her screaming watching all the people, I carried her and pushed the double stroller!

Corben 26 months

Corben looking cool in his shades!

Corben loves to be outside and he plays hard!

He is saying more words and trying to repeat most of what we say. 

He is jumping now and runs really fast! (while saying "jump" and "fast").

Corben enjoys coloring and painting...

Mommy loves Color Wonder with no mess!

Drawing circles and using different colors!

Using his scissors for the first time and saying "cut cut cut"!

Corben cutting very carefully.

This little guy is my worker...anytime the vaccum comes out he insists on helping!

He also loves to wear his backpack around.

Kitchen

We cleared out a space for the play kitchen!

Kathleen's Dad made this for her when she was a little girl.

Corben immediately opened the oven and fridge and started putting his kitchen items to use!

He really loves washing his hands and now he has his own sink!!

...

Our family membrs kept this for us to give to the first baby girl on the Haushalter side...

well Corben & Mason are BOTH going to have a great time playing with their kitchen!

Thanks Papa John!
