A great day with Nonie!!

Nonie came to play with Corben & Mason for the day while both Daddy & Mommy were at work.
Nonie takes great pictures for us to view the fun day they spent together!
Cones that were intended for Corben to ride his bike around...
however, stepping over them was more fun!
1st photo shoot of the day for Mason
Nonie gave her this sweet ladybug & flower pillow for Easter.
Nonie also gave Mason her yellow & black bumble bee outfit...too cute!!
Corben's special activity....FINGER PAINTS!
This little boy loves arts and crafts!
Many hand prints later...so colorful!
One of the final projects!
Corben 4/2010
Nonie taught Corben how to clump the paint, fold the paper in half and then admire the final product!!!
LOVE IT!!!
2nd photo shoot for miss Mason...sitting so good in the chair!
Pretty daisies and a pretty little girl!!
It was such a great day that they spent a lot of time outdoors with Nonie.
Corben got to climb the tree, water some plants, fill his bird feeder, and "mow" the lawn!
THANKS Nonie for having a great day of fun with Corben & Mason!!
We all love you!

Rainbow...in Clovis!

Leap Frog Learning

Mason is sitting better each day.
I have another Leap Frog Learner on my hands! 
Bright colors and lots of music...she's a fan!

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.

Mason whizzing around

Mason enjoying her exersaucer!

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!
