Little Fireman...

Daddy brought home his Fire Fighter helmet 

Lately, Corben has been saying that he wants to be a Fireman.

Playing ball with Daddy

Mason loves kicking and throwing! 

Mason Kate...15 1/2 months

Mason Kate is 16 months!!

Weight: 24 pounds

Height:  31 1/4 inches

She has eight teeth, her hair is getting so long and curly.

Talking so much!! Saying: apple, brother, socks, shoes, mama, dada, ut-oh, up, banana, all done, lilly (her leap frog doll), papa, t'nk you (thank you), eye, nose.

She is not into signing like her brother was, she just starts saying the words.

She points to her nose, hair, ears, and mouth...and loves to give kisses.

She is a dare devil and completely fearless (notice the scratch under her eye)

She tries to RUN everywhere she is going

She loves to eat and really loves veggies, fruit, and meat.

She loves to play peek-a-boo

When she gets shy she just puts her hands over her eyes and smiles!

She is a happy girl and although she keeps us busy...she is such a joy and a precious gift from God. 

CORBEN

Corben is almost three and such a happy boy!! 

 Excited to climb into the tree...with my help!

Love his smile and sweet personality! 

Corben's art work from church...

We love you Bear Paw and Mee Maw...please come visit soon!
