Corn Maize

Tonight our little family went the corn maize. We had been planning all week to go, but when it came time, both Cody and I were exhausted and it was really windy since a front was blowing in. We came very close to not going but forced ourselves at the last minute. MAN, I am SO glad we did! Other than a small private birthday party, we had the entire place to ourselves. The kids ran wild and loved seeing everything. Cody and I ate it up! The corn was beautiful. The stalks were tall and not pushed over by all the people that end up come through. They had the kids maze, the large corn maze, the cow train, and the animals all to themselves!

I am the luckiest girl in the world to be going home with these three!

Carley called herself "Question Girl" and loved being the reader.

Corey took turns between running and being grabbed by one of us. He wanted to be the leader so bad, but kept going the wrong way then getting mad when we didn't follow. You can see the look on his face when he was carried instead of walking. Me and my little pumpkins

The cow train all to themselves!

Tech Game

Saturday we went to the Tech game. It was our first game to take Corey to. Both kids enjoyed it. We had cheap seats so they couldn't see the screen, but the liked watching the game. I am not sure we will take them to anymore this year, because they were done after the first half, but it was a great memory. The kids were so cute. Here are some of my favorite parts:

1. Carley loves to make up good luck songs for people. In her mind she walks around in a Disney movie. She kept singing this good-luck song to Tech that had all the people around us laughing.

2. Carley also thought that the entire game depended on her cheering. If they started loosing, she would say, "I have GOT to cheer louder. My team needs me!".

3. Cody drew the kids tattoos on their arms that the kids loved. One college girl asked where we got the stickers and Carley proudly told her that her Daddy drew them!

4. Corey was wild through the game (of course) and would walk up to other people and say "Hi! GO RAIDERS!". It was so loud and cute.

5. I just love being with my little family. God has been so good to us!

Fall TV

So Fall TV is back on and here is what I am watching:

Cake Boss - I know it is random, but I love this show. I have 0% creativity in my body so I love what they do and make!

Charlie's Angels - This show premiered last week and it started off WEAK! Like awful, but it picked up by the end of the episode. I will probably watch a few more episodes and see what I think.

Parenthood - I really do like this show. It has sweet moments and I find myself rooting for each family.

Modern Family - BEST ON TV! Hilarious and witty. I laugh each time. So funny.

Grey's Anatomy - I did not like the premier at all. I love this series, but I do not like most of the storylines right now. If it doesn't improve, I might stop watching. It is just too shady.

The Office - It was funny last week, not hilarious, but funny. I miss Michael Scott.

private Practice- It will begin again this week. I want it to be good. Last season was okay so maybe this one will be good. If not, I will probably quit watching it.

Most Elligible Dallas - I do not watch it faithfully, but I do watch is some. There is a girl from ACU on there so I watch a little.

Dirty Soap - It is my new guilty pleasure. It is a reality show about soap stars and thier real lives. It is funny to see who they like and who they don't.

The Soup - Starts my Friday night off laughing. Funny each time.

What are you watching? What shows am I missing?

Man Panties

Corey has been staying dry most of the time lately so I decided Saturday was a good day to give him some clearance Yo-Gabba-Gabba underwear I bought at Walmart. :) Cody jokingly called them "Man Panties" when Corey walked out in them. After that we tried to call them underwear, drawers, and anything else, but Corey liked man panties. It was pretty cute to hear him call them that. Corey did pretty good staying dry, but they got wet several times too. Cody thinks that underwear for the first time and a brand new trampoline is not a good combination, so he was back in diapers by lunch. :) However, Corey did wear a pull-up for the first time today and stayed dry until dinner. You have to admit this hiney is pretty cute in man-panties.

Corey's Elmo Party

Corey had quite the big day of turning 2! First of all, he was sporting a self inflicted black eye that I have no idea where it came from. Since he had a black eye in his last set of professional pics, I had to postpone his 2 year old photos. That mess!Cody and I gave him a trampoline for his bday and he loves it. He was surprised to see it when he came home from school. Then he gave me attitude when I tried to take him off of it to go put on his super cute Elmo shirt with a 2 and his name on it.We had his party at the church. It was a good party, cute Elmo decorations, good food that Corey likes, and a super cute cupcake/cake combo. We ate, opened presents, and played outside. My favorite part was when he chased his daddy around the room covered in blue icing. Carley was a great big sister and really wanted Corey to have a special day.

We were so lucky the Spanns, Cores, Bowmans, Bullards, Mayos, and Kings were able to join us. Corey is 2 days older than Rendon and they have been friends since the hospital. They love each other a ton.
Jennifer, Leslie, and Amy have been my friends since college. Basically I have them brainwashed now and they don't think they have a choice to be my friends or not. (P.S. - They don't)


I love pictures of people with their elmo hats. Especially bald Papa pictures. :)

Happy 2nd Birthday, baby boy!

COREY WAYNE- How on earth are you 2? I am even two days late in writing this because I am just in denial about it!

Here is a little bit about Corey at 2. You always do things before I am ready for you to do it. You are independent and strong minded. You gave up your high chair, your paci, and your frog stuffed animal and you started potty training, trying to give up your sippy cup, and not letting me carry you around WAY before it was time. You love to pray, you love to talk on the phone, see friends, go in the car, rock, and RUN. Your favorite shows are the Wiggles, Barney, Mickey Mouse, Signing Time, and Curious George. You like any ball and car you can find. You turn everything into a drum stick. You have m0re bruises than any child I know, and you are the happiest kid I know. You spell your name, count to ten, know your shapes and colors, and are the most verbal boy I have ever met. I am so surprised since you have had two sets of tubes, but that is just how you are. You don't sit still for a minute, but you still manage to take things in. You also love your family. Several times a day you ask for Mommy, Daddy, Carley, Ali, Nana, Papa, Lolo, Cami, and Addison. You also love all of the Spanns and love to go play with them and ask to see Grammy especially.

Corey, you are teaching me so much about God's timing and letting go. Nothing about you came in the time I planned and nothing you do comes at the time I want it to. We prayed for you and loved you long before you were ever growing inside of me and now that you are here, you are full of surprises and moving time lines on your own. You are a joy. I pray that your zest for life and all things in it continues to carry into a zest for knowing God. Corey, God loves you so very much. He has big plans for you. You have already changed our lives and I know you will change many more.
