The after Christmas crew all made it down from up north.  It has been non-stop eating, playing, laughing since before Christmas.  Why stop now…so we headed over to the Dixie Igloo. 

Eric didn’t realize what he was going to be in for!

Lucy was a great sport as long as she was in the middle of her Dad’s legs.  Eric was bent over the entire time.  He is the best Dad and will do anything to make sure Lucy has a fun time.  

Uncle Jen {as Lucy calls her} showed all the girls how to really ice skate.

Twists and turns, double axels and all!

Me and the other hand pushed Mr Corbin around and around to keep him happy.  I was not complaining…I am no good on those things.  My skates were too big

and didn’t realize the problem until it was too late.

                                        Oh well, it was so much fun.

We had a

SPOOKtacular

HALLOWEEN

this year.

It was full of...

Trunk or Treating with Grandpa

{Grandma was already up North}

Carving Pumpkins,

dressing up like Princess Leha

and

Obi Wan Kanobi

along with a

Jeddi {played by Lane}

and a Movie Star {played by Rylee},

a Witch {Played by Tess},

a Flower {Played by Libby}

and a

Mad Scientist {Played by Mitchell}.

We had to bundle up to go

 TRICK or

TREATING

because it was wet and so cold.

Reggie and Wendy’s neighbors handed out some huge candy bars...I think Lucy {and Dad} were very excited!

Until next Fright Night..

We were up in Lehi for Halloween so I thought I would get hair appointments for the kiddos at Cookie Cutters.

Especially because it was

Corbin’s 1st Hair Cut.

So fun right!?!

Ready, steady…GO

I was so relieved that Corbin wasn’t going to freak out.

Well lets just say that lasted all of one pass with the clippers.

And Corbin’s first hair cut turned into an official wrestling match!

The American Idol hair cutter dude didn’t have to spray corbin’s hair with water to finish it off with the scissors…

oh yeah that is sweat!

Besides the huge gouge off of his natural hairline on his neck, it turned out pretty cute.

And then there is Lucy.

What a babe! She of course picked the PINK car and a Barbie Princess movie to watch. 

Actually this is only Lucy’s 2nd hair cut! {I trim her bangs}

I am so sad I didn’t get a finished picture of her hair.  She got a special twist and Fairy Glitter on the top.

 

So glad that is

over!

I’m Free!

So excited to be turned around. Every time someone would tell Corbin that his Birthday was coming up, Lucy would always add…

”and he gets to turn around!”

Well this lasted about a week and then I turned him facing backwards because he slept better that way. Mean mom, I know.

Cutest boy ever!

Staheli Farm fieldtrip

Lucy’s preschool had an “adventure”

{as Lucy calls it} to the Farm. 

Kelly was in town for clinicals so I took Zoe and Makenzie along with us.

We saw lots of fun animals like goats, sheep, cows, llamas, a loud donkey, turkeys, chickens and of course…a horse!

This donkey loved Lucy. She even gave Lucy a surprise kiss when she wasn’t looking!

 

Next was the hayride out to the Pumpkin Patch!

Zoe, Kenzie, Lucy, Makenna, Grace & Natalie

The rain came so we were out of there.

Here is the whole Crazy gang of

Little Explores Preschool

Another fun day in the

life of a 4 year old!

Each year Mom and Dad invite us over for the Kentucky Derby.

That's right, the Derby! We love it.  The women wear their fanciest hats and chat, the men read up on the odds of each horse all while Dad passes out his famous Mint Juleps {virgin of course}. We all write our pick on the whiteboard {as seen in the photo} so there is no confusion when the winner crosses that finish line.  As for me, I just read the names of the horses and pick the best named horse.

Lucy really got into the race this year.  I let her wear my one and only derby hat…dollar store derby hat!    And the winner is… 

not really, but Grandma made sure Lucy got a trophy too!

So…

 all by myself.

I feel like everyday Corbin learns a new trick. Oh how time flies when you are having fun. This little boy is so fun and growing up so fast.

If you know Eric...you know he has a hidden talent of interlocking his toes with each other. From the day Corbin was born we knew he had Eric's feet, along with his talents. What a lucky boy.

 They are cousins.

weeks apart

posing for whoever

wants to take their

The only thing I can think

is…     

If they are anything like

their Daddies!
