Cousin Payton & Mason

Tonight we got a sweet surprise from cousin Payton and Nonie here to visit and spend the night. Mason gave out a few smiles and also "talked" quite a bit for cousin Payton.

They also helped give her a bath...which Mason just LOVES!!

Uncle Paul & cars

Uncle Paul surpised us today with a fun visit!

Corben got out all his cars and had a great time playing with Uncle Paul

All of the cars are Caleb's old cars that he played with when he was a kid

Decorating the Tree

Daddy & Corben putting the angel on top of our tree
After Corben played with lots of ornaments and watched us put ornaments on the tree
he also wanted to hang ornaments....
so he climbed the ladder with help and put up a few ornaments!

Mr. Fix It

Anytime Corben gets ahold of Daddy's tools....he is all about "fixing" his cars and toys.

Looks like the Fire Engine needed to be "fixed" also.

Fall Leaves

We stopped at an orchard today and let Corben run through the leaves!
Smiling and running as fast as he can!

Stopping briefly to take a photo with Mommy

He loved picking up the leaves and throwing them down!

Running again

Smiling a lot!

Gorgeous fall leaves in the orchard!
