Corbin is my little lady's man. This is his little girlfriend, Brooklyn. They are so adorable when they play together. Their favorite game to play is hero, Brooklyn will climb to the top of the bunkbed and call for Corbin to come and save her and of course he comes to her rescue.
Brooklyn's mom told me the other day that Brooklyn said that she and Corbin were going to kiss when she was 15 and she would wear her gown and slippers and mom and dad would be standing there next to them cheering! Some days I don't know whether I should worry or just laugh!
Taylor is going to be a wonderful big brother. He just loves his cousin Jaina and wants to hold her and feed her as much as possible. Whenever I ask him what we should name the baby, he tells me, "Jaina!" (I don't think any of us are going to decide on a name - Justin is still stuck on Rudger!) While I am thinking of our little boy, it reminds me of the dream I had last night! This is for you Mandi! I dreamt that for some reason I couldn't be at the hospital to have my baby and so Mandi had him for me...thanks Mandi, what do you say???
On Memorial Day we had a family gathering and also celebrated Mandi, Dad, and Jaina's Birthdays! My dad is such a great Grandpa! My parents have 16 Grandkids and I feel like each of them feel so loved by Grandma and Grandpa. It is easy to see that my parents are so proud and just love each one of their Grandchildren so much!
Gracie and Olivia are always running together when there is a family gathering! They have got to be two of the cutest girls around!
Hunter and Johnny - "um, I don't know about this!"
Whenever we go to Mom and Dad's this is the first thing that Taylor goes and gets...horsey! This summer will be so fun when Taylor gets to ride Grandma's real horse's!
This is one of the things I am most excited about! I have the most wonderful husband who will do anything for me! Everytime I come up with an idea that involves his expertise, he is so willing to make it for me. I really wanted to have a planter box in our backyard to grow vegetables and so he was out until 11:30 Tuesday night finishing this up so that when the dirt came on Wednesday we would be able to fill it up and get our veggies in! Well, of course the truck that was bringing our dirt just happened to break down and they didn't let us know until 6:30 Wednesday night. The frustrating thing was that I just felt like I was waiting around all day for them to come, if they would have just let me know ealier it wouldn't have been nearly so bad! So the dirt came on Thursday morning and Justin was leaving Thursday after work to go to Moab with his Dad for the weekend. I was stressed because I didn't want that dirt sitting there that whole time and I needed to get the veggies in, so I started moving a few loads and of course couldn't do much with being pregnant. When I talked to Justin on the phone I was so stressed and so being the wonderful man that he is, he asked his boss if he could leave early to help me out! Luckily his boss let him go and Justin was able to move all the dirt and sell our car all before leaving! He left a lot later than he and his dad had planned, but I am so grateful for him and the hardworker that he is.
Yes, we did sell our car! I can't believe that I had this car for 6 years. I know there were people who didn't think this car would last and be all that great, but we have never had a problem with it and we made it to over 137,000! Justin tells me most cars will work great as long as you drive them conservativly and keep up on all maintenance, that's what we did and it was wonderful! Now today we are shopping for...minivans, and I am actually really exicted about it! We also sold Justin's motorcycle. We told Corbin that we were selling it because we needed to get a van, but he could still go on rides on Grandpa Morris' motorcycle. Corbin said, "yeah, I can ride on it because Grandpa doesn't need to buy a van."
One last thing that I thought was pretty cute - yesterday I asked Corbin who his primary teacher was and what he learned. He said, "Angalee, and she cried because she loves the Temple" That's when I explained that we also can cry when we are happy!
