Chuckie Cheese

This last Saturday we took Korbin to Chuckie Cheese for the first time. We didn't tell him where we were going and the second we entered the parking lot he had a cow. It was so fun to watch. Once we got inside it was complete chaos... as all kid places are. He and Russ had fun playing the games. Poor quinn will have wait till he is big enough to hold his own against the 2 million kids running wild.....

MY lil boy is in SunBeams....

How is my little boy old enough to be a Sun Beam???

Wasn't it just yesterday I was dealing with ... that...??

Christmas part 3

For Christmas part III: we loaded up and flew to Washugal Washington to visit Russell's side of the family. This meant the first airplane ride for the boys... it went.... as expected... the plane was delayed going out due to the toilets being broken-- allowing us to burn through all forms of entertainment BEFORE the actual plane ride... once we boarded the plane things were somewhat okay..other than having to pass Quinn back and forth every ten min or so to keep the kid entertained... Korbin was nice enough to accidentally spill his entire glass of complementary OJ ALL over my lap within the first fifteen min of takeoff...( we skipped drinks on the ride home..lesson learned..)

Once we got to russ's parent's house we were able to hang with the fam and have amazingly delicious food. Russ;s mom has 9000 chickens that Korbin had a blast helping collect eggs from and chase around. It was a fun trip and it will be nice to go back sometime to see what it is like when it is not raining ;)

Christmas part 2

For part II of Christmas we loaded up the car and drove home to have Christmas Day at our own home. We started out having Christmas Eve dinner with Heather and Mike- and went to a really cool light show in PG.

Christmas morning we woke up with Korbin RACING into our room telling us it was "wake up time!" and he wanted to see if Santa ate his brownie. He had a blast Christmas morning ripping open any present he could get his hands on while Quinn tried to keep up. It was a really good Christmas and Russ definitely made me feel loved with the gifts he gave me ;)-

Christmas part 1

For Christmas Part I: We (everyone except Russ who had to work -sucker-) went down the week before Christmas to spend so time with my side of the family. Korbin has a blast with his cousin, Ahna. Quinn had to deal with not getting all the attention because of his EQUALLY as cute cousin Toby...
