They sat on the 40 yard line, 5 rows from the field

Corben liked watching all the football players!

Corben stayed really close to Daddy the whole game, but did get up and stand and watch the band and dancers at half time.  He also snacked on Kettle Corn! 

What a fun night with Daddy, they stayed until the end of the third quarter.

Swim Lessons...

Cousin Colby with Corben and Jason at swim lessons

Jason put a nose plug on Corben's nose

Corben did good going under water and he is closing his mouth more often

Today, I went inside the house and talked with the owner, who is technically one of my neighbors!

The pictures were taken from inside the house and Colby helped take some pictures too and he got this one of Jason lifting Corben out of the pool when his session ended.

Both Colby, Corben and Mason enjoyed the lollipops today!!

Water babies!

We got out the small pools today and they kids had a blast splashing around!

The big news....Mason is standing on her own!

She even took a couple of steps yesterday and today!

Sand box fun

Corben and Mason playing in the sand box

Yes, Mason likes to eat sand!!

Mason is also my climber...notice she is wearing soft shoes!

Mason 11 months

Mason Kate is 11 months old....really, where is the time going?

She is cruising around and pulling up on everything, climbing everywhere...

she is on the move!

She loves to eat and loves to feed herself.

She is talking more with noises and "mama, dada, dog". She also signs "more and all done"

She loves to drink water from a sippy cup and loves playing with brother

She is sleeping ALL night for the last couple of months and still takes 2 great naps!

She is happy and smiles all the time

She is ticklish and loves to laugh!

Most of all...she loves to get dirty and play hard! (as you have seen from previous pictures)

Corben

He loved standing in front of the "BIG" rock

Brother & Sister

On the way to church today we stopped by this gate

 (to let mom practice taking pictures with her camera on the manual mode)

Hard to keep them both focused...but still precious in my eyes!

This is true life!

I love how Corben still has his arm around her, but clearly tuning her out...haha!

Our find...

We found an old abonded Jeep today....

it doesn't have the battery, but the kids don't know the difference.

They are enjoying their new ride!!!
