Shaver Lake Snow!

Our family at Shaver Lake enjoying the snow!

Mason 4 months, Corben almost 2 years

Mason was a great snow bunny!

Corben cried most of the time and wanted nothing to do with the snow!

Mason & Mommy

Corben refused to try the snow...but we insisted...

...not really liking the snow taste!

Daddy attempted to briefly sled down a small hill with Corben screaming

Daddy & Corben

Caleb & Kathleen

(Realizing our snow days are going to be much different with kids!  Approximately 5 potty breaks on the side of the road for newly potty trained Corben, lots of tears and "mo"s and two exhausted parents.  Still hoping someday it gets better!  We live so close to Shaver Lake, ~ 40 miles)

Bean Bags

Mason was laying in Corben's bean bag and he went and pulled her bean bag close and sat right beside her while he colored!

More practice...

Corben's 2nd birthday is 3 days away....more practice with blowing out candles!

Clapping!!  Corben is a happy boy about to turn 2!

101 Dalmations

Corben got to watch 101 Dalmations for the 1st time!  He was wearing a dalmation dog shirt, holding two of his dalmation dogs, his blanket with fire trucks also had dalmation dogs on it!! 

Great Baby sitters....Pop, Nonie & Nanny Payton!!

Daddy & Mommy were both at work for the first time and Corben & Mason had the best baby sitters and had such a wonderful day!!  These pictures are such a great memory of a wonderful day with their Pop, Nonie, and cousin "Nanny" Payton!  Aunt Lindsay and Cousin Cole also visited for some cousin fun!

Mason Kate loves to smile!

A little serious, she loves tummy time on the bean bag!

Patyon, Pop & Corben went out back to play a little golf!

Mason went outside briefly too...with her hat (she will grow into it soon).

Corben, Payton and Mason

Payton gave Mason this cute outfit...Tutu Cute!!

Chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo!

Surprise!!! Mason fits in the train with Corben as the Engineer!

Both kids enjoying the train ride!

Mason Kate wearing the new bow Nonie gave her.

I love all the outfit changes and accessories Mason wore throughout the day!!!

They finished the day with Pop giving Corben a bath and brushing his teeth!

I found this wonderful art work on my desk when I got home from work!

Thank you Pop, Nonie, & Payton for taking such great care of Corben & Mason!

We love you dearly!!

Mini Cupcakes and a Candle

Corben helping Mommy make mini cupcakes to celebrate his 2nd Birthday that is days away!

Licking batter off his finger!

Adding the sprinkles onto his mini cupcakes (Funfetti flavor)

No comment about the color of sprinkles...it's what we had and Corben loved it!

In anticipation as he sees the cupcake with lit candle coming towards him!

Blowing out the candle (practicing for his 2nd birthday which is very soon)!

One happy boy!!!

Chapstick

Papa John & Meme sent the kids a package today...

Corben just loves Chapstick, so I dedicate this blog post to his Chapstick!

Application of Chapstick...

Replacing the lid....

Feeling his soft lips!

Lining up his chapstick with other goodies from his package on the wood area under the kitchen table...sneaky little Corben!
