He also received great gifts from Pop & Nonie

Next weekend is his family 3rd birthday party green tractor style. Meme is flying into town for his special party...yippee!!

After we had some of Corben's cake....

we lite the candle and he made a wish and blew it out.

Notice all the finger imprints in the cake!!! 

Corben had a great birthday!

Going up the hill for a sled ride 

Corben had so much fun!! 

At the end he said...." Do that again"!

Corben had fun playing in the snow with a cup for a scoop,

next time we will bring toy shovels for this hard worker! 

Mason cheered up for her sled ride! 

Weeee! 

Happy little girl!

Good throw! 

Some girls made this snowman and Corben wanted to take a picture with it. 

Our Family fun day in the snow celebrating Corben's 3rd birthday

Corben's somersault

Corben can now do somersaults all by himself

Notice Mason in the back ground trying also!

Corben singing...

"Jesus Loves Me"

My voice is in the background, but he is also singing!

He moved up to the 3 year old class at church and he really likes it and loves to sing!

Mason on the potty

I don't have a picture yet....

but Mason has gone pee-pee on the potty twice!

We set her on it before bath time.

...

Today she came up to me after she pooped and told me!

Hooray! This is a little early, but I am seeing signs that she is starting to get it.

Our afternoon...

Corben loves to stack wood in Daddy's wood pile 

This is not my favorite thing for him to play with....

but he says he has to "work" 

This was Mason's response when I told her to smile 

Finally opened her eyes! 

This is proof that she is fearless...my wild child....crazy and adventurous!!! 

Corben insisted they swing...which they both love...

all I heard was giggle after giggle with these two! 

Mason smiled and giggled the entire time she was swinging.

Notice her pink boots (Daddy was searching for boots and I found this pair on clearance, thankfully because they are already dirty!)

Heart project...

For those of you who have seen the previous posts with our

dough cut-outs and painting...here is our final product...

a string of brightly colored hearts adorn our mantel.

Way to go Corben and Mason!

Outside Fun

Eating a snack outside...

 and sitting patiently on the curb while Mom walks outside the gate to get the mail!

Helicopter

Corben told me he wanted to draw something...

then he stated it is a HELICOPTER! 

It really kind of looks like a helicopter!

Mason saw brother smiling and wanted to smile in his picture too!
