At the library... 04.29.08

We don't get to the library...ever...but last night Corbin's Cub Scout Pack Meeting was canceled and we were already out and about so we decided to go.

Contemplation...
Corbin and Seth got their own library cards.  Corbin was having far too much fun finding books and getting to check them out on his own!
Seth was off perusing the books so I didn't get any pics of him...darn it.

 

The girls found the puzzles and that was all they were interested in...LOL...
Ashlyn got done and whispered...this place is boring...haha!  I will have to take the girls back so we I can find books with them.  We checked out some Angelina Ballerina dvd's for the girls...they are watching as I type this...and they LOVE them!

District Pinewood Derby ~ 04.26.08

Today was District Pinewood Derby. It was a long day...we lost Sage at least a thousand times...and every one was bored silly by the time it was over.  LOL!
Corbin won against all but one of the boys in his first group of 9.
Then he moved on to the finals.  It was a great experience for him.  He only won a couple in this group.  It was definitely hard for him to take losing, but it was good for him.
He placed 6th over all.  With a little bit of praise he decided that was good.  lol

A whole bunch of pictures HERE!

Agua Fria Ward Pinewood Derby ~ 04.19.08

Corbin participated in the Ward Pinewood Derby this last weekend. This was the 2nd year he was able to do it! It was a lot of fun for everyone!

Corbin picked the design and colors and helped with buffing the wheels and polishing the axles. Even Seth and the girls got to help with that part!

Corbin's first race of the night!

One of the final races...you can barely see the nose of Corbin's car under the finish line arch.

Hi five! Corbin won 1st Place!

Everyone had a great time. Corbin had to learn a lesson in humility and sportsmanship...but it was good fun!

Twinkie Derby Car!

Sage ~ KidZaam Dentistry

We discovered Sage had a small cavity on her tooth so we took her to the dentist.  We have the coolest dentist office in the world! HAHA!  The kids LOVE going to the dentist!

April 4, 2008

She did really good at the check up.  They were really surprised how well she did since her last visit.

April 18, 2008

The second visit didn't go so well at first.  As soon as she got a taste of the "medicine"...she was having nothing to do with it.  :/  We tried giving her water in between drinks of medicine. But that wasn't working.  Then we tried giving her a straw...as soon as she tasted it she was done! We had to hold her down and give it to her with a syringe.  She was so mad at us...but as soon as we were done she was ok.

Next we went to a room to "relax".  Yeah right!  She would lay down for a few seconds once in awhile but not much. She was stumbling around the room like a drunkin' fool, but she would not lay down.  It was funny watching her but at the same time scary...she's just too independent for her own good!

All went well and it was "so easy", they said.  When she came walking out she looked horrible...and was very out of it.  I didn't get a pic of her coming out but this is one in the car afterwards.  She's looking a little better here than when she first came out.

As always...more pics...HERE!

The Kool Bus!

We happened to drive by KMART on the way home from WalMart and I saw this from this "Kool Bus" in the parking lot so I had to stop and let the boys teka a look at it! When we got closer we saw that they were also giving rides! So I let the boys take a ride! As soon as it took off I knew exactly how each of the boys was going to like it...or not. LOL!

 

 

 

Corbin got off and just as I suspected he looked sick and said "Ugh, I don't feel so good!"  He wasn't even interested in getting back in to let me take pics of them in it.  ROFL!  But is was ok once he knew they weren't going anywhere.

 

 

 

 

Seth of course loved it! He is our little dare devil! He will try anything out once!  He loves "the big rides"! Loves anything that makes him feel tough! :)

 

 

 

 

After they were done riding we had to stay and watch as the next group went.  Corbin wanted to see what the ride was like from that point of view!  Watching it was just as cool as riding for them!

Come see the rest of the pics HERE!

SLACKER!

Wow...I have been so caught up in taking pics of "things" around me. I have not been taking many pics of the kids. :/

*New goal! Make it a point to take at least one pic of each kid...a week. Seems kinda minimal, but it is a start!

I have some newer pics (from the last couple weeks) posted to my family gallery. HERE! I tend to get way more pics of the girls, obviously because they are home all day. So I guess my goal will be to get pics of the boys. :)

HAPPY EASTER!

The kids did Easter eggs Sunday morning.
We had the Easter party last week so we didn't do much of anything for Easter.
Here are some pics of them coloring eggs.

Easter Eggstravaganza! 03/15/08

March 15, 2008
Saturday was the town's Easter Eggstravaganza. The kids had a great time, despite the windy cold! They had lots of stuff for everyone to do.
Petting zoo, bouncy houses, "fishing" pond, ring tosses, egg hunt...more of an egg race...LOL! The Easter Bunny was around...and there was a hay ride.
