Silly Corban!

So, tonight I am cuddled up with my little Corban watching cartoons and a barbie commercial comes on. I tease him and ask him if he wants a barbie and he says, "no, mom I'm a boy!" I said how do you know? He then tells me "because I fart, boys always fart." He's so silly! He makes me laugh all day!

Grandma "Ranch's" Cowboy Cookies

Corban wanted to make cookies last night so we got out the Branch recipe book and I asked him what kind of cookies he wanted to make. I read him a few choices and he decided on Cowboy Cookies because he's a cowboy. I told him that this was Grandma Branch's recipe and he had me explain that. I told him that she made it up and wrote down what we were supposed to do in the book. So, we go on to make the cookies and I had just creamed the butter, eggs, and sugar and was about to add the flour when Corban got serious, looked at the recipe book and said "Mom!!! Grandma Ranch says always, always let your baby taste the cookies after it mixes, it says right here!" He's so cute! So, Sue you have to put that step in the recipe book because that's a step we can't forget! :)


Easter

I didn't get very many pictures of Easter. I know I'm terrible! :) We took the kids for an Easter egg hunt at church on Saturday before Easter. Corban had so many Easter egg hunts. He loved it!! Here are just a few pictures of the boys over the weekend. Corban got Jayce to play laser tag with him, it was so cute! They really love each other.

More Pennsylvania Wildlife

We have a possum that comes to our house every night in search of food! It has been getting in my garbage and eating my cat's food (which I have been putting in at night). It is fun to watch it from our sliding glass doors, but I am worried it is going to hurt someone or my cats. Corban loves it, but I think it's time to do something about it. I really don't want to kill it, but I don't want it making it's home in a tree by my house and having it bite my kids. Any suggestions??????????

My Sweet Husband

So, over the last two days Garrett has come home with little surprises for me. He brought me flowers on Tuesday and on Wednesday he made me a card. He is such a good artist and he knows I love it when he draws me pictures. He is so sweet and I love him so much! He's so good with the boys and they love their daddy so much. I am so lucky to have him as my husband.

Some Cute Pictures

I am finally updating! I have been so busy lately. Here is a little update on the boys.

Corban ~ He turned 3 1/2 on March 2nd. I made him a cake and he thought it was so cool. He is so smart. School is going really well for him and he loves it. He is really into animals and wildlife. He loves to watch the discovery channel and loves Survivor Man. He just got some legos and he plays with them for hours. He builds all kinds of animals and robots and can build anything you ask him to. He is in primary now and it is amazing all the things he is learning there. He loves to say the dinner prayer and blesses the bears and things like that, it's so cute! He also knows almost all the words to So What by Pink. We sing it to Garrett all the time. Ha ha. He is such a good big brother to Jayce and is always so cute with him. Jayce gets so excited when Corban walks into the room. He's such a good kid and I don't know what I'd do without him.

Jayce ~ Jayce is now 7 1/2 months old and it is amazing how fast time flies. He has been sitting up on his own for awhile now and loves it because he can play. We are trying to get him to crawl and he can get on all fours, but he then decides to roll over. He's so funny. He can say Mama, Dada and No No. He still doesn't have any teeth. We are waiting for that to come. Corban had 2 when he was 4 months old. It's funny how different they are. Jayce is such a good little eater and loves to eat everything in sight. He can feed himself any finger food I put in front of him and he'll even share. He is so sweet and loves to be held. He growls when he gets mad and it's so funny. We love having him in our family and can't imagine life without him.
