Cousin Fun

The past few weeks we have had the opportunity to spend a little extra time with cousins.  Korb is a lucky kid that has almost all his cousins within about 15 mins of him and gets to see most of them frequently.  He doesn't get the chance to hang out with the Roper boys (Steven's sisters kids), but when they do come he has the best time! The Roper cousins are rough and tough like he is and loves to get dirty, he get chased by his older cousin Dalin (5yrs old) and then they eat dirt together.  It's pretty cute and he loves it! Then we have Makayla who is Korbin's best friend.. they do everything together and they almost always get a long.  They are so close in age that it is a lot of fun.  They have the best time hanging out whether its destroying the house or playing outside.  He definitely loves his cousin Makayla.  Then of course the Rounds girls (Bailey, Kyla, and Leah).  He loves them also.. he loves the older girls because they are soo nice to him and let him try to be a big kid like them.  They are very cute with him.
 Here are some fun pictures of the past month or two of the cousin fun.  Unfortunately Korb doesn't get the chance to play with the Shaw boys very much so I don't have any pictures of them.

Random things

We have been keeping pretty busy lately like I am sure most of you are.  Halloween started the holiday season so now the craziness begins!  Speaking of crazy.. it is snowing outside and I am not happy about it! Anyway, I haven't been good at posting about anything other then Korb's monthly updates so this post might be full of pictures.
At the end of Sept we went to a ReAL game with some of Steven's family. It was a lot of fun because we were in the section by the drums and all the crazy shirtless, confetti throwing guys. I was a bit skeptical before we got there but it ended up being a lot of fun in that section and I am still thinking about how I want to sit there again! Anyway here are a few pictures from that night.

You can't see it very well but this was after the game was over and a random guy from the crowd jumped over the walls and started running towards the refs. It was soo funny and he ended up giving some of our players a hug. Of course that is the police/security arresting him. But good entertainment!

Halloween fun-
We are slackers and didnt even plan on getting pumpkins this year, we never seem to carve them and it just seems like a waste.  But, I enjoy taking Korb to the patch and having that fun holiday experience.  So Korb and I ended up going with my parents.  It was a lot of fun and we even ended the day with delicious Maddox! YUMMY!

Korb picked out his own pumpkin and I was surprised because it was a pretty nice one! :)

Korb and the Shaw Grandparents. He loves them!

 We gave Korb a plum and you will notice from the rest of the pictures, he put the WHOLE thing in his mouth and ate it ALL! He loved it!

Notice the plum face?

 Plum face again..

Korb and I at the pumpkin patch. It was a lot of fun.


So I am a retard sometimes and at the annual Rachel/Ryan Halloween Party I couldn't find my camera, so these are two pictures I stole from Rachel.  I will have to post more when I steal some more from others. It was a fun night (as always) with tons of delicious treats and games. So Rachel- Thank you for always doing the party, it was fun!

Steven was the Stork that drops Dumbo off. Such cute costumes! Thanks Leslee for making Steven's costume!!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Trick or treating around our neighborhood.

Devin, Leslee, and Makayla came with us. Makayla was so funny, she kept trying to go into everyone's house.
 We visited my grandparents and ended the night at my parents for Taco Soup and candy.  It was a really fun night and weekend.

BABYSITTING-
 I have the opportunity to help some fellow sisters out and watch their kiddos when they are at work or doing other things. Korb absolutely LOVES when cousins come over and play. He always tries to be a big kid and loves the attention they give him. Here are some pictures of the past few months of Korb and his cousins :)

Well I think that is about it for now. Hope you enjoyed my nice and long update!

Easter & Cousins

So of course my last time of working Sunday mornins was on Easter Sunday. I was pretty bummed that I missed Korb's first Easter, but I realized that I didn't really miss much besides him looking at his basket.  I got off work at 2pm so I still got to help him with the Easter Egg hunt at my parents, and that was a lot of fun.  I was impressed that Korb would actually grab the eggs.  Of course he didnt want to let go of them and would grab them out of the bucket once I put them in.  It was fun and very nice.  We even managed to get a cute Easter picture.  My mom would always take a picture of us in our new Easter outfit by the rock, so I thought it was fun that Korb got his taken there also.   Luckily Steven remembered my directions to take some pictures of Korbin when he looks through his basket.  The pictures turned out cute!

My two handsome boys! Love them!

He refused to let go of the Easter Eggs!

My happy family

COUSINS GALORE!!
So the day before Easter we had a request to get all the young cousins together to get some pictures.  Some of the cousins know each other pretty well like Korbin, Makayla, and Leah.. but they don't know too much about Landon and Logan.  Of course they are all still super young, but it was fun to get them together and take pictures.  As you can see through these pictures..Korbin and Makayla are best friends and love rolling around with each other. It will be crazy in a year or so when they are all running around screaming! Oh boy! What have we gotten ourselves in to!?  So the age range is Korbin 9 months old to Landon 2 months old (so they are all within 7 months of each other!)

Makayla and Korbin just doing what they do best!

And yet another one of the things they do best.. tackle each other.  Makayla and Korbin are one month apart and spend almost everyday together.

Left to Right- Leah (6 months old), Makayla (8 months old), Korb (9 months old), and Logan (4 months old)

Leah, Makayla, Landon, Korbin, Logan

Here is the age chart. Korbin 9 months, Makayla 8 months, Leah 6 months, Logan 4 months, Landon 2 months.

The moms and cousins.  We are all in the Randy/Sylvia Rounds family except for Brianne who is in the Raymond/Cindy Rounds family.  Me, Leslee, Rachel, Brianne, and Casandra..and babies.

They were supposed to be posing for a picture.. little terds!

We all thought it was funny how you could tell the age gaps with them. The two oldest were sitting up on their own, goofing aroun..the next two were starting to sit up, and the youngest was just sleeping. Cute kiddos.
