Hunter's Boo Boo

DISCLAIMER! Do not proceed to this post if you are uppity or judgemental.

Hunter went to the doctor this morning to get his eye checked out. It's been discharging, but wasn't pink- but we just wanted to be sure before we infected the others in the house. So Hunter got his finger pricked for a blood test and after the initial freak out, Matt told him to show him his finger so he could send me a picture of his boo boo and this is what Matt got. I will not apologize simply because it was absolutely hilarious. Of course, Matt didn't make a big deal about it so Hunter has no idea what he did was considered taboo.

In Recent News

Dane's Family Birthday Party-

Dane totally racked up on gifts, which is ridiculous for someone his age, but he had a good time and he was Papa's buddy the entire afternoon/evening! He made a beeline for "pop pop" and wanted to be everywhere he was.
I'm not a photographer (obviously)but this was Dane's YAY! So cute!
He was doing the funniest things with his hands- my camera is just not fast enough to catch it.
After we sang Happy Birthday, we realized that the candles were blown out... culprit- Hayden (not Hunter, for once... I know, right?!)

My New Hair-

I got it highlighted and cut! I forgot how long it took because it takes a super long time! I'm enjoying it and I also got some new make-up. I visited the bobby brown counter (sorry, Jamie) and was introduced to their tinted mosturizer and pressed powder (which was yellow- for my skin tone- I thought it was funny.) Jamie, these are my new "must-have" Wednesday thing you do on your make up blog. I didn't have to touch up at all for the entire day AND it gave my face this silky smooth look and it wasn't a different color than my neck. Matt told me with my hair and make up that I look that one of those dolls that you order to look like yourself... Never heard that one, but I'll take it! :)
Do you like my alluring look into the camera? Should I have made kissy lips instead?

Corbin Lost His Second Top Tooth-


I thought this picture was so funny! True to Corbin! I also finally told Corbin this morning that there was no tooth fairy or Easter Bunny, but Santa was still real. I didn't think I could drop a bomb like that yet. But I went through all this trouble to write a note in fancy lettering and then I forgot the coin. *sigh* Corbin was so upset about the coin that I gave him a dollar for the school store- and most of you know how I feel about the school store. He kept ranting about the coin and asked me to email the tooth fairy people to complain about Casper- the fairy that worked last night. (that's how I told him we communicated) I finally just told him. He looked at me and tried not to crack a smile. He's known- I think he just didn't want to admit it because he wants money still. I told him that I would buy his teeth from him from now on. His reply- "Why would you want to buy my teeth?" Then I said,"Um, Corbin, I've been doing it all along." Corbin- "oh yeah." So I guess that went pretty well.

Corbin's Birthday Party at the Bowling Alley

So Corbin had his 8th Birthday party at the bowling alley. We waited until after the baptism so that he wouldn't focus on this more than anything. And instead of presents this year, we decided to collect canned/dried food goods to donate to the local food pantry in town. I'm proud of Corbin for wanting to do this!
This wasn't all the kids, just a few at the table.
This is Corbin and his best buddy Nick!
Corbin wanted me to leave him alone- I kept calling out his name to get him to look at me. Still didn't work.
These cupcakes were made by Jessica Whetstone. They turned out so good and Corbin thought they were so cool- all the kids wanted the handle part of the light sabers.
We had a great turn out to the bowling party and Corbin's friends were very generous! This box was so HEAVY, Matt wouldn't have been able to get this back in the van w/o Mom's roller thing. We're delivering the food to LICS today. :)

**UPDATE** We delivered the food today and it weighed in at 122.5 lbs. Way to go Corbin and friends!

More Creeptastic!!

So I came across some more Creeptastic and utterly insane Twilight merchandise. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a fan right now. And get this! I didn't want to put them up, but there are also Twilight condoms! Yep. I wonder if they glow in the dark?

Cue scarey music. He looks like he would come alive to me. This is so weird.
Ew.

This is called a Manllow: half man, half pillow. No thank you, etsy. Bad, bad etsy seller! And they're sold out!

Corbin's Baptism Pictures... Yes Finally!

Corbin was baptized on February 13th, 2010 at the Lexington Building! We've filled out his keepsake baptism book and it has been one of the main topics of discussion for the last few days between he and I. I think that this day left a lasting impression on Corbin. I know it did with me. This single event gave me a renewed need to be better in all that I do in my daily life. Especially with my children. So, here are some pictures of the big day!

I love this picture of everyone (but shallow Jaime hates her outfit!)

The Father/Son picture (Matt's got one similar to this one with his own father)
This is what was left of the group. My dad got called to work and left right after the baptism was over and my sister and her family left b/c she was extremely ill) There was also various friends there and I appreciate all that came out to support Corbin for his decision to be baptized. It was a great afternoon!

Dane Turns 2 today!!!

Today is my youngest baby's 2nd birthday! Time has flown with him, it seems. He brings so much joy to our lives, even if he refuses to eat anything... seriously. So Happy, Happy Birthday to my Dane-y! More pictures next week of his family birthday party!

Snow in SC?

So on Friday, 2/12, the kids were released from school an hour early because of possible inclement weather. Eye roll please. Our weather guys around here are typically wrong about the weather, I think. But they were right this time. It snowed and snowed. Did I mention that it SNOWED?! Did I mention that we were very unprepared for it? We barely have jackets heavy enough and we had no gloves. Luckily though, we had boots. (Dane didn't and as soon as the wet hit his pants, he started crying. We spent about 10 minutes outside total. Corbin was bummed, but even he said his hands felt like they were burning. I will be prepared every year from now on even if we don't get snow!

Creeptastic!!!

Okay, I'm a Twilight fan just like everyone else, but does anyone think that they are going a little overboard with the merchandise? Maybe just a little. Or A LOT! So I came across this on a fansite.


Does this creep anyone else out?! My imagination really gets away from me at night! (admittingly, I used to think my elliptical looked like short circuit when it was in my room and it was dark) So, I think this would scare the crap out me. Why, why, why?!
