Daredevil!

Well, we are sure that Corey is Devin's son (not that we had any doubts, he looks just like Devin). Last Saturday Corey was playing on a buggy. In our living room there is step down, basically a sunken floor. Anyway, Corey decided to play the part of daredevil. He rode the buggy over the edge of the step just a little bit, enough that he couldn't go back and gravity took over. The look on his face started out scared, but when he realized that he wasn't going to break his neck he started to get into it. He went right over the edge before anyone could stop him. He just started laughing and tried to do it again. I just looked at Devin and said "He's definitely your son!" Devin used to be quite a daredevil himself with his quad when we were in high school.
Then this morning I took Corey with me to Basha's to get a few groceries. I had him sitting in the seat of the cart. I looked down at a shelf to read a tag and had only looked away for about 5 seconds. When I looked back at Corey, he had grabbed a granola bar from a display and opened it and started to eat it. He is quite a tricky little guy, and fast! So in addition to my other purchases, I added a granola bar.
I was looking through my picture the other day an d found some of a car show here in Payson last summer, so I thought I'd throw a few of that in and some other random pictures too.

Just Talking

I am 25 today. Wow, a quarter of a century! I'm only teasing! I really don't have a problem with getting older... I say that now, we'll see what happens when I spot my first gray hair or wrinkle! I don't know... my thinking is that it is just part of life and everyone gets older, some people just have the money to hide it with plastic surgery. I think the only things I would consider would liposuction and then see if they could just put all of that fat up a little higher, if ya know what I mean. Then again, maybe I will just age gracefully and see how that goes!
The other day Devin was holding Corey and they were just cuddling. Corey looked up at Devin and gave him a kiss on the lips. Devin was almost elated! It was the typical toddler open mouthed kiss, but Devin was so happy anyway. And this morning as Devin was leaving for work Corey saw him about to walk out the door and he called out "Dada!". Corey ran over to give Devin a goodbye hug. I think that is the first time that Corey has said the whole dada, usually it is just "da". What a cute kid!
I'm not for sure, but I think I may be feeling the baby moving in the last few days. I think it could be too early, but I really think I can feel something. If I touch my belly at just the right time I can feel the baby repositioning itself and I think I can feel it inside too. Anyway, things seem to be going well so far. Aside from having low fluid still. I have been told that i should drink Gatorade because it hydrates better than water, so I have been. I try nearly anything to make sure that the baby is healthy. I also went to a specialist in Phoenix and she told me that the latest research on toxemia says that taking a baby asprin and 200 mg of calcium a day can help to lessen the risk of it happening again, so I'm off to buy baby asprin and calcium tablets. I guess time will tell!
I guess that's about it for now. I will post more pictures when I take some more. I trying to convince Devin that we need to get a family picture taken... we'll see who wins that one!

Bubbles of Fun!

Yesterday, Corey got his second haircut ever. Of course after a haircut, he got a bath. Every time I turned away Corey would grab the bar of soap and when I'd look, he would hide it. I did catch him chewing on it a couple of times. After I took it away, he would somehow find it again. I didn't realize that he bit a piece off of the bar until he started heaving and a big chunk of soap and his afternoon nap milk came up. Needless to say he wasn't interested in playing with the soap again. I think that he realized that he should maybe start listening to mom when she says "no". Poor kid!

Corey's first molar!!

I was playing with Corey a couple of nights ago. He was in my lap and I was tipping him backwards and then lifting him back up. He was just laughing and having so much fun. I tipped him again and in the light I saw a little glint of white in the back of his mouth, so I investigated some more. I felt his gums and discovered that the has sprouted his first molar! I checked the other side too, but there is nothing yet. But I could tell that the other one should be coming in soon. That explains his crankiness of late! I was pretty excited to find his first Molar.

Pictures of Chuck!

These pictures are not recent, but I forgot to post pictures of Chuck! He is now about nine months old and HUGE! I don't even try to pick him up. He is the biggest chicken of a dog! He is too scared to jump into the back of the truck and he runs from cows even though he is more than half their size and they are just curious of him, not chasing him. He is too smart for his own good! We have had to put in a zip-line for him to run on because he has found every possible way to get out of the yard and into the yard. He has opened and closed gates, opened windows and jumped through screens, and found every possible way to get over, under and through the fence around our yard (as if a half acre isn't enough room to run around!). Actually, the top picture is only about a month ago, so this is really how big he is... massive and still growing. But we love him anyway!

Big news!

And now for the third and final post of the day!
Devin and I have recently found out that I am pregnant!!! The baby is due July 23, 2009. I have had several doctor visits, and three ultrasound so far and everything is going good. At the first ultrasound visit I was told that the amniotic fluid was too low, so I had to drink LOTS of fluids. But all is good now.
Corey has learned how to say "bebe", but I don't think he quite understands that mommy is having a baby. Devin and I are very excited! I am still a little nervous, but I feel better that the doctors are monitoring me so closely.
I just love this holiday season and I hope that all of you are able to enjoy the spirit of the season. I also hope that you all have a great Christmas.

More Pictures!

This was a fun day! We just kept it small, my parents, Bronson, and Devin's parents were the only ones that came. We took him to the store and let him pick out his gift. I almost think that Devin had more fun with this whole birthday thing than Corey did! Devin made the "cake". I sent him to the store and he came back with Twinkies, a tube of black frosting, the "1" candle, and strawberry topping. It actually turned out really good and it looked quite interesting! I can't believe that it has been more than a year!!
