Birthday Countdown

So it's Wednesday already and Saturday is just around the corner.  Mommy and Daddy have been working hard on lot of projects for my party.  I think mommy said there are about 28 adults coming and 17 kids so far.  That's a lot people to play with me.  Mommy showed me some pictures from my birthday last year and I think I might remember some of it.  Looked fun though.  We've been watching the news to see if it is going to rain on Saturday because if it does boy are we in trouble!  I'm hoping that we don't have to cancel my party.  Daddy has to work today and tomorrow so not sure we will get anything else accomplished.  Daddy took us to Olive Garden last night for dinner and boy was it good.  I'm not crazy about waiting so long to get our food but it was good.  We went to Target afterwards and daddy bought me a bag of dinosaurs!!!  I love them.  I looked at the toys and dreamed about what I might for my birthday.  As if I really need them!  I guess I need to go and get ready to go to Granny's. 

Blah

Nothing much going on here.  Mommy has been crazy lately.  With working on the birthday stuff, trying to keep the house clean with me messing everything up, and just life in general she is tired all the time.  I've been pretty much glued to my dvd player lately despite mommy trying to play with me or get me to do something else.  I love my monsters inc movie and I love Racing Stripes.  Today I have been really ill.  Mommy took my dvd player away :(  She and I played cars, read books, and played outside so I didn't really miss it.  I have been kind of blah these past few days.  No fever just runny nose and watery eyes.  It hasn't slowed me down just made me a little ill.  So in 5 days I will 2.  I can pretty much do anything these days.  I love to talk, run, and watch movies.  I wear a size 5 diaper (which hopefully I will catch on to that potty thin soon so I don't have to wear them anymore; mommy has even promised me a party once I get the hang of it) I wear a size 3 clothes, and a size 8 shoe.  I have outgrown most of my shoes so I know a new pair is in the future.  I love to ask for "beer" which is really root beer but I'm not too crazy about it anymore.  I love 7 up and orange drink.  I love vegetables and I hate meat.  I will eat a chicken nugget every once in a while.  My favorite restuarant is Golden's On The Square.  I still sleep with my mommy which works for me.  I love to snuggle up next to her or daddy.  That's about all that is new with me.  I guess we will be busy this week trying to get everything ready for the party.  I've got to help daddy work in the yard tomorrow because Aunt Lindsay is supposed to come to GA for my party and I think she is going to spend the night too.  We've got to get our yard nice and pretty for her.  Ok so I'm going to bed.  Hope everyone had a great weekend. 

Home Sweet Home

My first two pets...Spongebob and Mr. Crabs

Ok you can't be mad at me that I haven't posted since we've been back.  I've tried; more than once.  It kept saying error.  So anyway we made a few stops Sunday morning and headed back to Georgia.  We went by Walmart so daddy could get mommy a surprise then we went by the Shell Shop.  It's mommy's favorite store in Panama City and she says she always saves it for the last day.  I had a fun time looking at all the big shells they have.  But guess what Granny and Harold bought me?  My first two pets.  I got two hermit crabs!  One is yellow with a football on him.  His name is Spongebob.  And then there is a red one with a monster on him.  His name is Mr. Crabs...you know Spongebob and Mr. Crabs :)  See above picture :)  I had planned on uploading a lot of pictures but it's taking forever!  Anyway after the shell shop we headed home.  I watched my movies and was pretty content.  We stopped at Ryan's in Dothan, Alabama.  I was more interested in running around than eating though.  We made one last stop in Eufula, Alabama to feed the alligators one more time.  Then we were Georgia bound.  The ride home was so much better than the ride down there.  Once we got home I got to go see JJ, Nana, Jeri, Will, and Cailyn.  After visiting for a little while we went and had dinner at Golden's on the Square; my favorite place to eat!  Monday we didn't do much, we did go see Maw Maw but that was about it.  Tuesday was pretty boring.  I stayed with Granny for an hour or two yesterday so mommy could clean.  We had dinner last night with The Bay's.  They are going to Florida this weekend and since it's the girls birthday we took them their gifts early.  We had dinner at Stevie B's (my second favorite place to eat).  And last night when we got home the prison had called daddy and told him he had to come into work today :(  So daddy had to go in to work for a little while this  morning.  Me and mommy worked on some birthday stuff and when daddy got home we went and did a little birthday shopping.  The countdown has begun.  I've got 8 days til my birthday! I'm so excited to see everyone!  So that's about all.  Tomorrow is Friday and mommy said if my nose isn't running tomorrow we might go to JJ's school and see him for lunch.  Daddy has to work this weekend so we have no plans.  Thank goodness I'm still tired from vacation!

Vacation Night Number 2

Well it's night time here in PCB (that's Panama City Beach for my little friends that haven't been)  After a little nap today I was up and ready to hit the beach again.  Daddy needed to nap for a little bit and Harold and Granny had to get Harold's glasses fixed so me and mommy made our way to the pool but it was too cold so we settled for the beach.  We saw a jellyfish and we played in the water for just a little bit.  Since mommy isn't crazy about the ocean we decided to take a walk.  Well my silly mommy didn't pack me anything to drink so we had to make a pit stop at the store down the road for a drink then it was back to the room.  Daddy got up and got ready for dinner.  Mommy had me some veggies in the fridge so she heated them up and I had my dinner.  Then they dropped me off at Granny and Harold's room while they went and ate seafood.  I'm glad I got to stay with Granny and Harold and I'm glad mommy and daddy got to spend some time alone, they always seem happier when they come back.  Mommy usually has a hard time leaving me and I do too but I guess it's good for us too.  Granny and Harold took me back to the beach and I hauled water from the ocean back to the sand for them.  When mommy and daddy got back they took me to Walmart and I got a an airbrushed t-shirt, a Barney DVD, and a new Monster's Inc. DVD.  Before coming back to our "home" we ran by McDonald's and got chicken nuggets, apples, and fries.  We ate our snack then we headed back to the beach one last time for the night.  We saw three sting rays, one jelly fish and mommy even found Mr. Crabs...ok mommy just found a little crab but she called him Mr. Crabs. :)  After the beach we came back to our room and had yogurt and pudding.  My two favorite things at the moment.  Then it was bath time.  I had to have my hair washed tonight :(  Now I've had my bath and I think I'll cuddle in the bed with mommy til I fall asleep.  It's nice having a bed all to ourselves, and I'm sure daddy is enjoying more than an inch of bed too.  Thank goodness tomorrow night we will all be back in our bed.  Me and mommy taking up the whole thing and daddy scrambling for a small spot on the bed and some covers.  I've enjoyed my first trip to Florida and I love the beach and I'm so glad that I got to come with Granny and Harold but I sure will be glad when we are home.  I'll try to remember to blog tomorrow but I may be running around like a crazy boy since I'll be at home and back to my normal routine!

Vacation Day 1 and Day 2

So yesterday was the big day.  We got up really early (well early for me since I went to bed kind of late).  We met Granny and Harold at Golden Corral and ate breakfast.   Then by 9 am we were on the road.  Boy did we ride a long way.  We stopped a few times.  Once in a place that had alligators.  Granny knew just what they liked to eat; marshmallows!  Boy those little gators ate all of them while the big ones just watched.  That was the highlight of the trip.  Despite me tellling mommy I wanted to go home she didn't turn around, although I think she might have wanted to a few times.  Daddy slept all the way here, which made for a boring car ride home.  So anyway after we got here we checked in at our home away from home and I had a ball jumping on our beds and throwing pillows everywhere.  Then it was the big moment I got to go on the beach.  I've mastered saying it and usually when I say it we go.  I loved the water.  I fell a few times when the waves came in but for the most part it is fun.  We went to the All American Diner for late lunch/early dinner and it was yucky.  We did a little riding around then we went to the pier and watch big boats come in and bring all the fish they had caught.  It smelled yucky.  Last night mommy and daddy took me to Pier Park and we walked around and looked at all the rides at the Miracle Strip then we had dinner at Cici's pizza and it was yucky too. :(  The food down here isn't good at all.  No vegetables at any of the fast food places.  We couldn't find a Golden's down here must be a Newnan thing.  After dinner we went and played putt putt golf.  Boy was the fun.  I threw my ball all over the place.  And even though mommy and daddy says that isn't the way we are supposed to play it seemed more fun than what they were doing.  After playing golf I was so tired.  We came home and I got my bath and crashed for the night.  Today has been just as eventful but without all the driving.  When I woke up this morning mommy had gone to get our breakfast.  We had donuts, coffee, juice, cereal, and grits.  Oh and a big ol' banana.  We ate breakfast in bed which never happens at home.  Then we went to the beach.  It was so nice and cool.   Mommy built some sandcastles while me and daddy played in the ocean.  We saw a jellyfish and daddy took me far out in the ocean and saw fish.  When we came back in we all got a shower and headed out for some lunch.  We ate lunch at Scampy's.  I was so happy because they actually had veggies!  I had rice, okra, and green beans.  Then we went to see about riding a boat but the boat tour lasted three hours and mommy was afraid that was too long for me.  So we ended up at the zoo.  We had a great time and I got to feed lots of animals.  The lady at the zoo even asked me to help feed the giraffe!  Her name was Syndey.  When we left there we went to the Works Museum.  It looks like a house that is upside down.  It was crazy.  We got to feel like what it would be like to be inside a hurricane.  I played games, blew bubbles, put on a space suit, walk through a crazy walk way, sit on seat and pull myself up in the sky, that place had everything.  But before I could see it all I fell asleep.  Now we are back at the room.  Granny and Harold have gone to Sam's so they can get Harold's glasses fixed and daddy is sleeping.  I think me and mommy try to go swimming or maybe we can go shopping.  Even though this isn't home I'm having a little bit of fun but I sure do miss home.  Mommy brought toys and my couch but I miss JJ, Nana, and everybody else.  But we will head home tomorrow so I'm going to enjoy my time here.  Mommy left the camera in the car and the battery is dead so maybe tomorrow it will be charged and I can include some pictures :)

What A Day!!!!

This morning when I woke up mommy was already up.  She had my breakfast ready when I came in the living room and I knew what that meant; she had plans.  First we dropped off two bags of clothes at a school nearby.  Then we went to Granny and Harold's to pick up some stuff.  We went to the bank next and Miss Linda gave me Smarties :)  Then it was off to the water department, the tag office, and then to the Nextel store to take back Harold's phone.  While we were there I was pretty much tired of doing mommy errands so I decided to run and grab everything I could reach.  Well there was a police in there and he saw mommy struggling with me and he thought he would help.  He told me to be nice and mind my mommy.  Mommy pointed out that he had a gun.  Well was I supposed to be impressed?  Daddy has lots of guns.  So I told mommy "daddy's gun".  Well that made her embarrassed :)  We finally finished up and got some money back for Harold's phone.  We went by Wendy's pick up lunch and then one last stop at Charter to pay our cable bill.  Boy was I tired of riding in the car and doing errands.  Then mommy said I didn't have time for a nap today.  Boy is she regretting that now.  Abby showed up around 3 today and by the time she got there I was ill.  We fought over toys and when I cried she cried. And when she cried I cried.  Mommy said she had always wanted twins....until today :)  We did manage to have some fun outside though.  After Abby left and daddy went to work we went back to Granny's so Robards could change the oil in mommy's car and wash it.  While he was busy with mommy's car Granny and Harold took us to Golden's for dinner.  And while I love Golden's and it's my favorite place to eat I knew if I sat still I would fall asleep so I ran and kept busy.  We came home after that and I got my bath and now I"m ready for bed and mommy is busy doing mommy stuff and getting ready for our trip tomorrow.  Now that should be fun.  Hours and hours in the car with daddy sleeping and me...well me being me.  I'll be blogging tomorrow from another state.  I've never even been to another state!  I'm so excited I probably won't be able to sleep.  Tomorrow I'll try to include pictures with my post!  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Tomorrow is the Big Day

Yes tomorrow is the big day.  But first we must get through today.  I have to wash mommy's car and probably help change the oil.  Mommy has lots of last minute errands to run.  Abby is coming over to play today too while her mom goes to the doctor.  We've got to pack our car and then check the house for anything we might have left behind.  Then early tomorrow morning we will load up and move out.  We are heading to Florida.  Mommy says it's called the sunshine state so I'm guessing I will get to the meet the sun since it's his home right?  I've never been in the car longer than an hour or two so this should be fun.  Well just thought I would go ahead and blog this morning since my nights have gotten a little later this week.  When daddy is home I hate to sleep so he lets me go downstairs and play which means later bedtime, then when he goes back to work mommy has a hard time getting me to sleep.  I was close to 1 am when I went to the bed last night.  Oh boy mommy hasn't happy.  Well I'm going to go and finish packing and get ready to help Harold work on the cars.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll blog from the great place of Florida!

A Day In My Life

So my days are pretty much never the same twice.  But a typical day is me waking up and then waking mommy up.  Boy she sure does love her sleep.  We get up and try to be quiet leaving the bed room so we don't wake daddy up.  I have a race car bed in my parents room but most of the time I just snuggle between them and they say that's ok.  So anyway we come to the living room and if I'm lucky Mickey Mouse clubhouse is on and I can watch that while mommy makes breakfast.  Mommy and I aren't big breakfast people.  Usually a toaster strudel or a biscuit will do us just fine.  Mommy puts butter in my biscuit and she puts crazy jelly on hers.  Then we watch our cartoons.  I am a fan of Little Einsteins but since they come on at 5:30 and 6 am mommy doesn't so much like when we are up to watch those.  After breakfast we play.  We read books, play cars, and if it's not too hot we might go outside and play.  But once the ants start biting we come back in.  Sometimes we got to Granny's for lunch and we see Aunt Sharon and Uncle D there.  Then it's back home to fix lunch for Daddy.  He works crazy days.  One week he works 5 days and the next week he only works 2.  It's hard to keep up with him.  Then after lunch is usually nap time.  I nap for about an hour maybe longer if mommy is lucky.  I nap in my big boy bed.  When I get up we have to get stuff ready for daddy to go to work.  I am in charge of getting him a bottle of water and when we sit down I always help him with his cheat sheets.  When daddy leaves at 5:25 we usually head for Granny's to spend the rest of our afternoon there.  But today we won't.  Nana has to go to church so mommy offered to let the kids come play.  Yippie!  Now that is a typical day.  But you got to throw in run to the bank, go to the store, go for a walk, a bath, no naps, tons of snacks.  So it's hard to describe a normal day because nothing is ever normal around here.  I'm not a fan of schedules and my mommy is all about them.  But we manage to make it.  So I better go get ready for the kids.  Can't wait to play with my toys outside.  I'll try to blog tonight but don't hold your breathe :)

I'm Back

I'm back and better than ever! I can walk, talk, and do pretty much anything I want...as long as mommy and daddy aren't watching :) It's been quiet a while since I last blogged. Let's see in about two weeks I turn 2!!! Can you believe it? I've done so much in the past two years that I can't imagine what else is coming. This summer was great. I've gotten to play with my cousins, swim, go to the park, play with friends, play on my own personal playground, and spend lots of time with my parents, which by the way are pretty cool, well to be parents anyway. My mom has been planning my birthday forever and it's coming up pretty fast. Everyday we work on another project for the party. Banners, a fence, vests, and so much more. I just hope everyone knows how much time mommy has put into this party. I'm so excited to have horses at my party and all my friends too.

So Harold and Granny are treating us to a vacation this year. I heard mommy and daddy talk about a staycation. Which turned out to be just like our usual days. Granny and Harold have been talking about a place called Florida. Mommy has been running around like crazy this week packing a bag. She has put everything in our bags. Clothes, socks, shoes, my new toothbrush, my body wash, my shampoo, I"m beginning to wonder if we are coming back home or if we are moving to Florida. Harold says we are going to build frog houses and play in the sand. Now I remember playing in some blue sand mommy bought for my sand and water table. That didn't last long. I poured all the sand out of my table and now we have blue spots in our yard. Mommy has been excited about putt putt golf. Now I've got a golf set at Granny's but mommy says it's different in Florida. Apparently mommy likes putt putt golf and she's pretty good at it; she even showed me a paper where she beat daddy on their honeymoon. Mommy booked us a room tonight in Florida and we leave Friday. I've gotta help Harold wash the cars tomorrow and get them ready to go. Daddy has to work Friday so we won't be able to leave until he gets home.

So other than the whole Florida thing let me catch you up on what's going on around here. Daddy got a new gun today. He got a Glock .45 ACP. We drove a long way to go get it. I got to hear him shoot it tonight and boy is it loud. Our computer here at home bit the dust as mommy says so we had to get a new one. Mommy picked out a laptop and now I want one too. Mommy showed me some today at Walmart and I think I'll ask Santa for one. Which did you know Christmas is coming again this year? What could I possibly ask for this year? Mommy and Daddy bought me a big bed. No more baby bed for me. Which I honestly only slept in my baby bed maybe three times. And that was only for a nap. I haven't slept in my bed at night only during the day. Me and mommy like to cuddle together at night. We celebrated mommy's 28th birthday about two weeks ago. Daddy and I bought mommy a new mattress for her futon in my toy room. I love sitting on it and watching Good Luck Charlie. That's my favorite show. I love Charlie. Mommy and daddy have been working hard to make my play room more fun for me. So I'm almost two and I'm talking up a storm. I can say anything I want too really. I'm learning all about opposites. I know that if something isn't inside it's outside and if it's not hot it's cold. Mommy and daddy say I'm very smart but I think all mommy's and daddy's probably say that. But in my case it's true ;) Oh and let me tell you what I did during church. We had homecoming and we haven't been to church lately. Did I mention that I love root beer, well it's kind of important to this story, anyway, we are in church and after church we were going to have lunch. Mommy had brought me some root beer to drink, so Harold asks mommy what did she bring me to drink and she whispered root beer, well she said it just loud enough that I could hear. Well that's all I needed to hear. I hollered out "I want a beer" mommy was so embarrassed and daddy laughed. Daddy thought it was so funny and mommy was just red in the face. Hey I'm a boy what do you expect? Anyway I got my root beer and all was well. Well I think it about it. I'm sure I will think of something I've forgotten tomorrow but for tonight that's all. And I promise I'm gonna blog every night...or at least every other night. :)

Bees

So lately mommy and me had been talking a lot about bees. Well I love bugs and everything is a bee to me. Mommy says all the bugs have names, ants, beetles, stink bugs, flys, fleas, etc. but to me they are all bees. Today I learned a big lesson in bees. They will STING!!!!! We were playing outside at Granny's house and I was running around barefooted because who likes shoes? Not me. Anyway I was running full force and then I felt it! I sat down on the ground and started crying. Mommy picked me up thinking I had stumped my toe since I was holding it. When she looked at the bottom she saw something in my foot. Granny pulled it out and they thought it was "fire" grass til I told them it was a bee. Sure enough a bee stung me and left his stinger in my foot. Boy did it hurt. Luckily daddy had left his first aid kit in mommy's car. She had everything in there to make it all better. Then mommy surprised me with a little gift since I was feeling bad. I got a foam maker. I'll have to get pictures of it soon. So that's been my day. Stupid bees :( I don't think I'll be bringing home any baby bumbles bees anytime soon.

16 days later...

Ooops...it's been a few days since I blogged last. Apparently I'm too busy. My days are more interesting than ever! I'm always learning something new and testing my limits :) Since it's been a while I thought I would take the time to let you know what I do during a typical day. So I usually wake up around 9 or 9:30 and if it's by 9 am I get to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (my favorite-well that and Spongebob). Mommy keeps a big blanket and pillow on the couch just for snuggling in the morning. While I'm watching my show mommy usually makes me breakfast. My favorites are biscuits or toaster strudels. Then we read some books or if it's not too hot we go outside and play. We usually play cars or ball. Sometimes we get bored so we walk to Granny and Harold's to see what is going on over there (which is always something fun) If it's during the week we stay until Aunt Sharon and Uncle D come for lunch. I eat yogurt with Aunt Sharon and fruit with Uncle D, but today was extra special because I got to try sunflower seeds (and I loved them). Then we usually head back home once they leave. We come home and start getting lunch ready for daddy. When it's time to wake daddy up; mommy opens the bedroom door then I jump on the bed until we finally get daddy up. We have lunch and watch tv. Then for some reason mommy and daddy try to convince me to take a nap (BORING!!!) if I give in and take a nap I usually sleep about an hour to an hour and a half. When I wake up we play until it's time for daddy to go to work. Then we head back to Granny and Harold's to play. If we don't have dinner with Granny we come back home later on and mommy cooks. Then it's bath time and play time again. Then somewhere around midnight I get ready for bed. Now this isn't my favorite time of the day nor is it mommy's. I usually put up a fight and we usually both end up crying. Every once in a while when mommy actually lets me skip my nap I do go to bed without fighting her but that's just not normal. Want to hear something kind of gross that I did today? Tonight while mommy was cooking dinner I went to our bathroom and washed my hands. Mommy was so proud of me. Until she realized that I couldn't reach the sink and I had washed my hands in the toliet! She screamed that it was dirty. Looked like clean blue water to me. Oh well. Well we have a semi-busy weekend coming up. We are having the Bay's over Saturday for a cookout and we might be going to visit Aunt Lindsay Sunday. Guess we will just see how it goes. Sorry about not blogging every night. Maybe I can ask mommy to fill in some nights :)

Breaking News!!!!

Breaking News!!!!

Independence Day isn't about me being Independent. :( I will find out more about this holiday and let you know tonight.

My Name Is...

Corbin! I finally understand. My name isn't JJ although I thought it was. I'm still a little confused because mommy calls me Corbino, Daddy calls me Scooter, Harold calls me HOT, Granny calls me everything but Corbin, but I think it's my name. We were looking at baby pictures last night and I saw pictures of me when I was first born and I said "baby"...then mommy asked me what is that baby's name? Of course I know that is Baby Corbin. Then she kept pointing to me and saying Corbin. I played along and said Corbin. YAY!!!! Mommy gets so excited at everything I do :)

And mommy has been telling everyone how independent I am and guess what? Apparently tomorrow everyone is celebrating it! Tomorrow is Independence Day! I am super excited to have a day all to myself. We are going to Granny and Harold's early in the morning for an ALL day cookout. Lots of fun and lots of food. Oh and lots and lots of swimming! YAY! I'll let you know how my day goes tomorrow! Night night!

Happy Birthday

Today is my Maw Maw Marks 89th birthday! I'm about to turn two in October and I can't imagine being 89! That's a LOT of birthdays! We went to visit her today and she gave me her balloons! Guess after 89 years balloons aren't that exciting anymore! We had such a great time with her. We didn't do too much more today. Kind of a lazy day. We cleaned my room which is always fun because mommy switches out my toys quiet often so it's like I have new toys all the time. We have a super busy weekend coming up. My Great Aunt Jeanine is coming up here and we are going to have breakfast with her and lots of my cousins Saturday morning. Then hopefully some time this weekend I'm going to see my best friend Abby. Sunday afternoon they are having a cookout for Vacation Bible School, which I was a little bummed I didn't get to go to this year, but there really isn't a class for me yet. And I think I overheard mommy and daddy mention going on a date. A date???? Sure hope they mean a family date and not a leave the baby with someone and go out :( Anyway that's all for tonight. Better go get some rest before our busy busy weekend! Night night.

Loves and Not So Much

So I'm 20 months old now and my likes and dislikes are perfectly clear. Some drive my mommy and daddy crazy! Want to know what they are? Well either way I'm going to tell you.







Here is a quick list of my favorite things at the moment:

Let's start with my current obsession: Abby Sandlin. Yep my first best friend. We get each other you know. We like to run, play, and have snacks together. I love having play dates with her and her brother Cullen. We always laugh when we are together and we seem to pick up on each others habits. If I'm acting up mommy will just mention Abby and all in my little world seems OK at least for that moment. Abby is my best bud and I know we have some many things to do together as we get older. I do believe she and I are in for a big Halloween this year. Our moms have already started planning for us. More on that later.

I love food. All food. I love pizza from Stevie B's, cheese, applesauces, yogurt, lima beans, potatoes, mac and cheese, fresh strawberries, bananas, oatmeal, apples, blackberries, olives, oh how I love food.

I love to look at videos of me. Mommy says I'm vain but daddy says I get it honest. Mommy has a video of herself when she was little and she has forced daddy to watch it more than his fair share of times.

Hot Wheels...enough said.

Painting on my huge easel with sidewalk paint. *note to self must post picture tomorrow*

Going to The Mix for frozen yogurt with my mom and dad...ok I guess this should fall under food.

Ok no for my dislikes

I do not like little boys...ok let me clarify...I don't like little boys that can walk but are smaller than me. Baby Cullen is ok...but some kid tonight at Golden Corral was eyeing me and I wasn't liking it. Not ONE BIT. I grunted at him, but mommy said that wasn't nice.

I still don't like sleep. I do like sleep during the day once I stay up all night. I managed to keep mommy and daddy up til 2:30 last Monday.

I don't like when my food breaks.

I don't like riding in my new carseat. Mommy says we might just switch back to my old one for a few more months.

For the most part I think I'm pretty easy to get a long with. I'm generally a happy boy. I can't believe in a matter of a few months I'll be 2. Mommy of course is in mad woman planning mode. Well that's all for tonight. Better go grab a nap so I can pull another all nighter :)

For some reason I can't seem to keep up with this blog. I guess it's partly because I'm always on the go. I would ask mom to fill in for me but since I'm on the go she is too. Let's see since I've last blogged I've had a few firsts...I went to the movies last Thursday with mom and dad. We saw Bee Movie :) It was crazy! We sat in these big seats and there were lots of people there watching the same thing. We got a huge drink to share. I watched about an hour of it then it got boring. So we ended up playing for a few hours at McDonald's. Just what I wanted! Yesterday we met up with Miss Jen, Abby, and Cullen for some fun at a new place called Jump 2 It. We ran and played and climbed everywhere. Abby was more interested in this huge ball they had. I love balls but I played it cool and let her have a turn. I was trying my best to climb up the slides by myself. Then we went to a pizza place (Mellow Mushroom) where I had some cheese pizza, coke, a juice box (thanks to Abby) and a chocolate chip cookie. BEST LUNCH EVER!!!! When we left there we drove a little bit further and went and picked strawberries! It was super hot so we didn't pick many. Mommy bought me a banana and it sure was good. She picked up some corn, blackberries, and peaches too. We enjoyed the corn for lunch today and it was yummy! Oh and i'm forgetting something very important last Sunday was Father's day. I knew it was so I woke up extra early to wait on daddy to get home from work. Well mommy had the bright idea of waiting for him on the front porch. Now let me set the scene. It's 6 am, just getting day light outside, I'm in a t-shirt, and mommy is still in her night gown thingy. We sit on the porch for a few minutes...BORING. So I venture out into the yard. Mommy says "don't go any further" what do I hear? RUN CORBIN RUN!!!! I took off running toward my swing set. Now my swing set has three tiers to it. I climb like I've never climbed before. I got to the third one before mommy even made it over there. She tried to reason with me to come down...see it started like this..."Corbin please come down so we can see Daddy", then after a few minutes it was..."Corbin come down now!" and then after a another minute it quickly became "CORBIN COME DOWN NOW!!!!" Well I was entertained by all this fuss made over little ol' me. Well a few minutes later daddy drove up so I start yelling "hey Dad" from my third tier castle :) He laughed when he saw me and mommy out in the yard at 6:30 with our jammies on. Needless to say he said this is one Father's Day he will NEVER forget. So I guess I've caught you up on everything I've failed to blog about lately. Hopefully I can post a little something tonight before I jump in bed.

It's H.O.T.!!!

Look at me blogging two days in a row. Amazing I know :) Did you go outside to play today? Well my mommy wouldn't let me! Well not until late this afternoon. I thought at first she was just being rude...ha not my mommy! Once we did go outside I figured out why she hadn't let me play outside all day. It was super HOT. When we got in the car to go eat pizza her car said it was 109 degrees!!!! It did go down to 97 but apparently that's still HOT! We cooled off this afternoon in the pool. Once we got home, mommy got ready to cook dinner and daddy checked the messages on the phone. Abby had called and she was going to the park so what did we do? We headed to the park to see her! Of course we all had a great time. Mommy held the baby and Abby and I ran threw the sprinklers. Then we topped off our great day at Golden's on the Square. I sure am tired though. (I've talked mommy into letting me skip my naps during the day now. How? I go to bed around 10 at night now instead of 1 or 2.) I like it better and most of the days mommy does too. So that's all for today. Daddy is off tomorrow too. Hopefully we will find something fun and cool to do! Oh and I would have posted pictures from playing in the water today but someone (MOM) has lost the camera!

Where has time gone?

Holy cow it's been a while since I last posted a blog. So let's see...where do I begin? Daddy took a whole week off last week. Well not like a whole week just two days but since it was his short week, he had the entire week off. I can't begin to tell you how much fun we had with him. It was great having him here when I went to bed and here when I got up. Even though I got completely off any sort of schedule mom might have tried to put me on, we all had a great time. They even took me to zoo! And you can tell by this picture that I fit right in :)

We pretty much stayed home the rest of the week. Dad even invited someone he works with over to the house Friday night. And guess what we have now? Air conditioning!!!! Can you believe it. This is the first time since I was born they have had air. It's awesome!!!!! Did I mention in my last blog I got a police car???? I will have to post pictures of that soon. Well it's really late and mom is tired so I've gotta go. I promise from today forward that I will try to blog a little bit every night....pinky promise :)

Behind on Blogging

It's been almost a week since I've blogged. I think I'm starting to see a trend here. I'm so busy running around and playing outside I don't have too much time to blog anymore. I'll just recap this week and try to blog more often. Sunday was Mother's Day but since daddy had to work we had to celebrate Monday and since daddy felt guilty for working on Mother's Day we celebrated Tuesday also. Monday when daddy got home he took us out for breakfast, then for dinner we went to La Haceinda (mom's choice). It wasn't too bad. I hate a ton of cheese dip. Then we took mom to Wal-mart and let her pick out anything she wanted. So what does a mom pick? One pair of pajamas, sunscreen, a CD for me, and a case of cokes. I can tell mom is going to be easy to please. I don't think daddy was impressed with what she picked out and said it wasn't enough so we stopped at The Mix on the way home. Tuesday we took Mom out to lunch at Stevie B's...yes she picked not me. Then for dinner dad ran all over town getting things mom liked at each place. Mommy said it was the BEST MOTHER'S DAY EVER! I'm so glad she was happy! The only other highlight of the week was Thursday Estel and Toby Hornsby came to Granny's house to return a bowl that mommy had sent them food in. Mr. Estel has been pretty sick lately so mommy had been sending him food. I know one time it was tea cakes and the next time it was chocolate pudding (and hey if that can cure you, then you must be pretty sick). Well inside the bowl was an envelope for me. I opened it and guess what was inside???? 100.00!!!!! They said to put it in my savings account! That was fine by me. I've got plenty of toys and I sure don't need anything so me and mommy took my money to the bank and made a deposit! I'm sure that one day I'm going to really enjoy pulling all that money out. I've got a couple hundred dollars in there now and mommy says if we keep putting money in there that when I get a car I might have enough to fill up my gas tank...silly girl. So that pretty much sums up our week. Today we are going to the Harley Shop for a BBQ they are having and I'm pretty excited about that...what boy doesn't love motorcycles? And tomorrow is a family reunion at the park! Super excited about that too! Hope you all have had a great week!

Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day today. Today is all about moms. Well not about all moms; really just my mom. Here was my problem. I'm only 19 months old how am I supposed to go buy her a gift? I tried to grab her keys but she got them back. Today at Granny's I thought I could make my escape...I got in the car but no luck they saw me. So the only thing we gave mommy today was a card...and I didn't really help make that. Daddy reassured me today that tomorrow is going to be all about mommy, we are going to get her a gift, take her out to dinner, and make her feel special. Hopefully she won't mind it's a day late. We spent our day delivering flowers to special women in mommy's life. We went and visited Miss Barbara and Trouble down the road. We took her a flower and a fan that I painted. This afternoon we visited Gran Gran and Paw Paw and took Gran Gran a flower and a card. Of course we spent time with Granny today. We kind of cheated and gave her her gift last night. Mommy made her a photo book and I gave her a corsage. So with it being mother's day I just wanted to let me my mommy know this...

Nobody holds me like you do.

Nobody can make my boo boos better like you do.

And even though when you ask me who I love and I ALWAYS reply daddy...I love you too!

Thanks for spending your days with me playing cars, reading books, and jumping on the trampoline with me. These are just a few of things that you do that makes me smile. Love you mommy!

Here is me and mommy at the fair, this is also the night of my first birthday party that my mommy started planning while she was in labor. Not sure how she stayed up til 2 in the morning making cakes, getting together goody bags, then got up early, threw one great party, and was still excited to go to the fair later that night!

Here is me and mommy riding in a horse and buggy last Christmas. Mommy is good at finding fun things to do...and free fun things to do. I love that we do lots of fun things!

And last picture...this pretty much sums up how I feel about my mommy! She's the best for me!
