Accidents Happen

We all know that God created us to be unique and that no two of us are exactly alike....well, I would have to say AMEN for that because if there were two of Corbin running around, well the world might be knocked off it's orbit. Corbin. Corbin. Corbin. My big brown eyed, mischievous grinning, stubborn middle child. What ever will we do with him is beyond me. Okay. So I go to his school on Wednesday to have his parent teacher conference and to pick up his progress report and as the teacher is going over his grades with me and telling me what a sweet child I have, I am thinking to myself, wow! I am really doing okay at this whole parenting thing. Well, just as I was patting myself on the back his teacher uttered these words to me, "I caught Corbin cheating on his spelling test on Friday." Needless to say my patting myself on the back feeling turned into I wish I had a place to hide. I was mortified! As stubborn as Corbin is he really is a smart child. Anyway, she explained to me that he had a piece of paper on his desk and was drawing on the back of it, as most of them do I was told, and then she noticed he kept flipping it over and then writing on his test paper. So she eased her way over to his desk and asked him, "What ya got there Corbin?" She said he looked up at her with this look on his face that just screamed "BUSTED!!!!" She said he had been trying to butter her up ever since so she wouldn't tell me. Later when we were talking to Corbin about it he said he "accidentally" cheated. Well, we "accidentally" grounded him through the weekend.
I guess accidents happen!

Six Months Old

Happy half birthday to you.
Happy half birthday to you.
Happy half birthday dear Leecie.
Happy half birthday to you.

I can't believe that our little caboose is now six months and one week old. She went to the doctor today for her six-month check up and she got a great report. She is 14 pounds on the nose and is 25 inches long. Poor baby is short like her mama. She is backwards crawling, pulling up some and bouncing all the time. - I guess she is practicing her cheerleader moves. :)

We played photo shoot this past Sunday after church and I must admit that I am a darn good photographer. HA!!! Seriously, I just have the most beautiful little girl who knows how to work the camera.

Here are some of my favorites.

I'm Rollie Polie Olie.

Look Mommy! Now I am Tigger. Bouncing is fun.

Mommy you are so funny.

I am really shy. Yeah right!

This is my Daddy's favorite picture of me.
I really can be sweet when I want to be.Me and my bear can sit up.
Me and my bear can fall down.

Soccer Super Stars

The boys have started back to school and back to playing soccer (hence the absence of posts). We average two to three nights a week at the soccer fields plus practices on the weekend, but the boys are having a great time. Corbin has gotten a lot more aggressive with his playing this year - if that is even possible - he is soooo not afraid to run over somebody or use his head to block the ball. Matthew led his team to victory last week scoring two goals. Way to go Matthew!

Ann Elise likes attending any sporting event, especially if it involves cheerleaders - she is so fascinated by cheerleaders. She even yells for her big brothers like we do.

Matthew running after the ball. (Sorry it is so blurry. My camera does not take very good pictures from far away.)

Corbin playing goalie.

Check out the determination on his face.

Ann Elise and Pop cheering from the side lines.

Leecy-Bob (aka Ann Elise) wants to play so bad.

I belong in 1957

You Belong in 1957

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?

Rubber Ducky

Can't you just hear Ernie - or is it Bert?- (off Sesame Street) singing his Rubber Ducky song? Ann Elise is definitely fond of her Rubber Ducky. So much so that she tries to imitate it.

See the duck. Be the duck.

Five Months

I can't believe that our baby girl is already five months old. Here she is in her pretty church dress that Mrs. Leigh gave her. She is eating fruits and just started vegetables (not so crazy about sweet peas yet) and she has started drinking from a sippy cup. She is wanting to play on the floor more and more and can get her Jenny Jump-Up to bouncing pretty high. She can light up the room when she smiles, just as her brothers do.

Jelly Beans Continued...

I got yet another roll of film developed and these photos were definitely like finding good jelly beans. These pictures were from 2003. We had been to Florida on vacation and Matthew started preschool.

Corbin and Matthew in Florida.

Corbin and Matthew all dressed up and smiling.

Even at two-years old Corbin had the most mischievous grin. And my Matthew eating up the camera.

Matthew's first day of preschool.

It's a start anyway...

I am trying to get back in the swing of things.
My cousin just had family photos made and I thought they turned out GREAT. As most of you know if can be rather tricky to get a young one to pose for pictures much less two but I think that Cassie and Hunter both did an excellent job....now, if only Heather could have gotten Waylon to cooperate. LOL

Heather, Waylon, Cassie and little Hunter-man

Updates coming soon.

Sorry for the delay in Posts. We have been very busy with school starting back. I promise to have updates soon.
