A Cold and Rainy Day at Home

So it's freezing outside and raining today and aside from me running a couple of errands, the boys have been home all day. Matt (thinking ahead) picked up some boxes at the UHAUL store and made this fantastic and very huge maze for the boys to play in (It took up the entire room). He cut out holes in random places and put electric tea lights in for lighting up the inside. All three of them have had a blast in it! I've been able to be pretty productive with this new playhouse for them. They've been coloring inside the boxes and decorating the walls, poking their own holes in it around and sticking the dozens of flashlights that we have for them around. And when we're done, we'll collapse the boxes and save them for another rainy day. Good Show, Matt- Kudos to you for being a good daddy!

It Finally Fell Out

Yay! Corbin finally lost that tooth that just hung there for forever. He took it out at school of all places. Classic Corbin quote, "I hope the tooth fairy gives me a DS game." Not likely, hope he liked his half-dollar instead... :) Oh, and Corbin's other 3 top teeth are loose too. I don't know why I'm feeling so emotional about this. He's lost all 4 of his bottom front teeth already, but those didn't get me as much as him losing the top tooth yesterday. He's growing up. He'll be baptized soon... then one day he'll be passing the sacrament, then going to his first youth dance, then getting his license, and going on his first date, then graduating highschool, and then the mission... am I being a little melodramatic?? I wonder where Corbin gets it?! lol!

My Grandpa Died

Last week, my Grandpa died very suddenly. My heart is broken because he has been a part of my life since I was a baby. I have so many wonderful memories of him and my Grandma. My Grandma passed away about 6 years ago and I still miss her everyday. My only solace is that I know that they are together and I will see them again one day. These last few years were hard without Grandma, but Grandpa was always happiest with the great-grand kids. I'm glad that they were able to have time with him and know him.
