Guitar
Corben playing the guitar
Hard core rocker with his sister as his "agent" (on the phone taking care of her baby!) Haha!
Art update
The kids recycled old crayons and made crayon stars
Corben learned about Noah's Ark and God's promise with the rainbow at church
He colored his rainbow and when asked who makes rainbows he replies, "God"

Baby Tessa
Mason LOVES baby dolls...
and this little "preemie" doll is named Tessa
She even wears a bow like Mason
Mason loves to hold her and change her clothes, she has two outfits
(True story... we actually left her at a park while playing with friend Sofia, we went back many hours later and actually found baby Tessa! We were all amazed, I guess this little baby is staying in the family!)
She is so nuturing!
( dictionary meaning: To nourish; feed. To educate; train. To help grow or develop)

Corben 3 1/2 years
Oh...how do I love this little boy...I count the ways daily!
...
When he smiles, you pretty much melt!
...
Corben is 3 1/2 now and such a sweet boy.
...
He goes to preschool twice a week and weekly sunday school class at church
He is writing his name better each day
He volunteers in preschool to count to 20 and say his alphabet
He plays with friends at preschool (Jack, Giovanni, Sam, Ryan, Emily, McKenna, Jordan)
He has had a couple of play dates with church friends (William, Macie, Lucas, Tessa and Braden).
He also loves playing with his 6 year old next door neighbor Jack Morton.
...
Even though they have their moments...
he LOVES his little sister and calls her his best friend.
...
He is smart and has such a great memory
He loves teasing you and making you giggle!
...
Most recently he is learning about God and how God made everything.
He is saying his prayers at night and when Mommy prompts him, he adds in his own prayer request too....so precious!
...
I love seeing him grow into a smart, funny and charming little boy that loves God!
Basketball
Corben really did make most of his tosses into the hoop!
Mason liked placing the ball into the hoop
Action shot playing basketball after church
Floating
The kids have been getting better and better at swimming.
However, they have discovered floating in their intertubes...holding hands....is fun too!
Bell pepper
We have had a few bell peppers that haven't turned a nice shade of green.
This is our first really great looking green bell pepper
And...we have tomatoes again...yummy!

Fun houses...
Two thoughts come to mind...
"It takes a village to raise children...and we have one in our yard"
...
Second thought....
"My wise children have acquired homes and they are little landlords"
Our neighbors gave us the bigger house, so Caleb set it out by their playset
Then Caleb was driving and found a "free" marked house in our neighborhood and snatched it up for the kids!
(I should comment on Corben's helmet...he rode his motorcycle out to the homes, took it off shortly after my pictures.)

Quote from Corben
After a full day of play ended with a fun swim in our pool.....
we sat down to some homemade strawberry shortcake.
As we were all enjoying the yummy dessert,
Corben turns to me and says,
" Job well done Cowboy!"
I turned to him and said what did you say......
he then repeated it even slower with more of a twang,
"Job...well...done...C o w b o y !"
I instantly said to Caleb his Texan roots are showing strong! Caleb however, thinks he might have heard it on the movie Toy Story. Either way, so cute to say after he was eating a yummy dessert!
Mason & Sophia at the park
Mason going down the slide.
I forgot my camera today, so these are all phone pictures.

3 Baby Cows
Corben & Mason with neighbors Ashlyn and Jack looking at the three new baby calf in the field right by us.
The kids had fun watching them walk and run around
2 babies with their mama cows
This mama was a little protective of the newest calf.
Corben was so curious why this cow has numbers on his body!
Best buddies....Jack, Corben and Mason
