first february weekend

These two brothers cuddled plenty while watching a show. I couldn't resist taking tons of pictures and capturing the moment. I can't believe Levi didn't mind having his cheeks being squeeshed by Tay.


I spent a day with two of my favorite people which I enjoyed very much. I love the talks we have about life and being a mother these days. I'm always so humbled by them. What's even better are the kids running around having a blast while we chat.

Friday night we got to watch my sweet niece and nephews. We love when they come. (and thanks to Mandi and Jon for watching our kids the night before so that Justin and I could have one of our first dates outside the home in several months! The temple, Chili's, together, love it.)

Corbin helped me out with story time. The kids loved the story of The Little Red Hen, and especially when the hen got super chubby after eating all that bread herself.

We had a blast at frisbee on Saturday and afterwards I was able to go with my mother in law and sister in law to a wedding shower. All my boys got some good bonding time in.

Sunday was so enjoyable being together. Of course we played games, went to church, and got home just in time to not even watch the superbowl. But we did enjoy more games.

Corbin lost his third bottom tooth (he says it's his fourth because he had one pulled almost two years ago at the dentist, but I don't think that one counts) His first adult tooth is almost all grown in, so I have no idea how the other two teeth will fit in there.
My dad was always so good at getting my teeth, but I'm too afraid to do it to my own children. So luckily Corbin is brave enough to do it all alone. He played with this one for a couple hours and then out it came.
It's kind of creepy looking at this one.
Once again, money is always the issue with the tooth fairy. We have a big stash of nickels that we use as their chore money and once again, that's all we had, so that's what he got. That night before Corbin went to bed he kept asking if the tooth fairy was real. Taylor was around so of course I said yes. (Justin laughs because he will just tell them, nope and move on, but it's just too heartless for me).
So the next morning he came in and said, "the toothfairy came, except, I know that it was you because we have tons of these nickels." And of course what does he do, tells Taylor too. I think we are done believing in these things; the tooth fairy, Santa, the easter bunny; soon it will be Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinatti and maybe even Tolido. (my family will get this, click here if you don't)

Still, it was a good weekend for us.
