Our FUN Weekend!

This past week our good old trusty computer died. Well technically our motherboard died, but that meant that everything else had to be replaced since they were old parts that were incompatible with the new motherboards. So Caleb spent all day Saturday rebuilding our computer for us.


He tried to teach me how things worked in the process, but I got bored relatively quickly. So all I know how to do is take it apart, I left before learning how to put it back together. But if anyone ever needs their computer taken apart, I can totally help you out!

Easter

This year for Easter we went to a community Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning with the Lloyds. Corbin had fun picking things up and putting them in his basket, and he especially loved seeing the Easter bunny. A lot of kids seem to be afraid and slightly hesitant about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and such, but Corbin got down and ran to him with his arms outstretched.


After the hunt we went over to Corbin's Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd's house for lunch. They had set up a little egg hunt for him as well, only they had found soccer ball shaped eggs. He started picking them up and playing with them the second he walked in the door and saw one sitting on the stairs. I think that he liked them even more once he discovered they had gummies inside of them.


On Easter morning Corbin woke up earlier than usual and in a bad mood. But once he got a drink and settled down he was pretty excited about his Easter basket. He got some pinwheels, bubbles, books, a Jamba Juice and a pail to scoop pebbles into at the park. Here is the before picture:


And the after:


Even though he only got a smoothie and some gummies he was all hopped up on sugar and would not sit still during church, or after church, or at the Lloyd's family dinner, or after dinner... he basically didn't stop moving until we stuck him in the car and he finally fell asleep on the way home. But it was a good day.

Super Hero in Training

Lately Corbin likes to pull his hooded towel off the hook in the bathroom and have you put it on his head.


He then proceeds to run around the house wearing it like a cape for the remainder of the day.

Children's Museum

Today I took Corbin to the Ogden Children's Museum with Tori and Rachel and Rachel's cousins. He had a really good time, and it was fun to get out of the house and have him play with, or should I say play around, other kids. For the most part he hung out by himself. So far he doesn't seem to like other kids his age, but he will play really well with adults and older kids.


He loved picking up vegetables out of the garden, if only he would eat real vegetables at home.


Here is our little firefighter, he liked wearing the hat most of all, after we took it off he kept patting his head and pointing back towards it.


Corbin has been really into animals lately, so he liked the fish exhibit, here he is showing us what a fish says.


He is already better than me at using chop sticks :(


Here he is enjoying some fine Asian cuisine with his cousin. They were pretty cute "pretending" to eat together. I think that part of the pretending was merely attempting to really eat, only failing since it was plastic.


And finally, forget McCain, Vote Corbin for President!

Ogden City Half Marathon

I have decided to run a half marathon with my sister-in-law and her sister. We have been training for about a month now and things are going well. It is fun getting back in shape again. Ever since Corbin was born I have just worked out here and there when I could find time, but recently Sam and Benson let us borrow their treadmill so now I run 3-5 miles during the weekdays while Corbin naps and Tori and I go for a long run together on Saturdays, while Caleb watches Corbin for me.

Tori's sister went to school with a girl whose boys both have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and we have decided to run for them. We set a website to accept donations and when we finish the race, all of the money we raised will go to helping fund research to find a treatment.

We will also track our training and progress on there, so you may want to check back and make sure we are keeping up and we don't quit. And you can come cheer for us when we run on May 17th!

Trip to Cedar City

This weekend Caleb was able to get away from work and we drove down to Cedar City for a visit. Corbin had a lot of fun seeing his Grandma and Grandpa Miller and his aunts. We played Settlers of Catan (the funnest game ever) and watched The Game Plan, which was pretty cute.

As you can see, Corbin LOVED playing outside with Molly. Overall we had a good trip, right up until the car ride home, when Corbin decided to cry most of the way. And as a bonus we were driving with Harm and Derek, who I am pretty sure will never want to have kids now, sorry guys :)
