Future CPA

Last night I had to do some work for my Dad's clinic and when I was finished, Corgan thought he'd better check my work.

Oh, there's an error, Mom.

Don't worry, I'll fix it.

 

Oh, Christmas Tree!

We put the Christmas Tree up on Sunday and Corgan fell in love with it! He just sits there in awe of the lights. We have blinking white lights on the tree and every time they blink off, Corgan says, "Uh oh. Light!" His favorite word right now is "uh-oh". I had to make the tree kid friendly this year, so it's not very pretty, but Corgan loves it. The other night he took his dinner into the dining room, sat at the table and watched the lights.

 

Melts my heart....

 

This little guy melts my heart. I can't believe how much he's grown and how fast. He's going to be two years old in less than a month and it's so hard for me to believe!!!! 

Throwin Back a Cold One...

 

While Corgan's grandma and grandpa Cole have been here, he has played outside for hours at a time! They are so good to sit out there with him while he runs rampant through the backyard, only to come in smelling like a puppy. The weather has been FANTASTIC!!! I went out there with my bottle of water only to have it stolen as Corgan threw it back to get a swig. Stinker. 

Gender Confusion....

Aahhh Vanity. Thy name is Corgan.

Corgan L-O-V-E LOVES to get into Mommy's war paint. He likes to pretend he is an Indian preparing for battle... Well, maybe not. He keeps saying, "Pretty." Should I be worried? 

Things I'm Thankful For.....

- Dishwashers
- pioneerwoman.typepad.com (check it out. HILARIOUS)
- Microwaves (took me thirty minutes to make Thanksgiving Dinner.... Seriously)
- Naps with my husband and child.
- Corgan's hugs and kisses. Kisses are getting more rare, but the hugs still keep on coming.
- Friends who understand me (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!)
- The little nudges and spins I feel from Cayden (Caden, Kaden, Kayden, Caiden) when I eat the yummy pumpkin chocolate chip cake I made.
- Hour and a half prenatal massages (I literally drooled on my pillow. Hope she didn't notice.)
- Waking up from a nightmare to realize it was just that, a bad dream.
- Prayer.
- Families.
- Babysitters.
- Hearing aides for children.
- Disposable Diapers.
- DVR (HOW ON EARTH DID WE SURVIVE BEFORE DVR?)
- Walmart.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

Helping

Evan is such a good helper! He was pushing Corgan around on his bike so Corgan could go faster! What a good bud.

My little Water Boy....

Corgan loves to play with the water and wash his hands! He'll ask me if he can wash his hands, go into the kitchen, push a chair up to the sink and climb up to play with the water. He tries to pretend he just wants to wash his hands but ends up playing in the water for about twenty minutes. He LOVES it! He plays with cups and all the utensils in the drawer, and when he's finished, he'll start saying, "Clean up" and put everything away. Kinda. At least he's trying....





Can you tell Mommy wasn't really paying attention in this picture?

Sorry!!!!

I've been terrible about posting, I know. Life has just been, as usual, busy. I'm getting quite the belly now and am officially in my third trimester! Hard to believe. It's gone really quickly this time around! Caden (Caiden, Cayden, Kaden, Kayden; we still haven't decided yet) is getting stronger with his kicks and seems to be enjoying his new punching bag - my bladder. Kinda hurts, kid.

I'm down to three classes a week - LIFT on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's VERY nice to have just three classes to worry about and NONE at the butt crack of dawn! Yahoooooo!!!!

Travis's parents are in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday and Corgan is having a great time with them! Grandma Janice came bearing gifts of cars and he was thrilled! We had to take them with us to the restaurant tonight. Can't go wrong with cars! We went out to eat at Kobe's with the Bryans (FINALLY!!!!) and had a great time. The food was good, the company was great, and we were full!!!!

I've been going to Paris more often to work at Dad's clinic and am really enjoying it there. The people working there are awesome! He's had some "staffing issues" in the past.... I love working for my dad. It has been so much fun getting to know my dad better. He is such an awesome guy.

I was at Wal-mart tonight (for the umpteen millionth time this week) and saw a sign saying only 35 days left until Christmas. First thought in my mind was "OH CRAP!" I don't have ANY of my Christmas shopping done, AND I have a birthday to get ready for!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!!

Here's a pic of Corgan and Evan. I like to call it "Homies hangin in the Crib...."

Party, party, party!!!!

Last night we went to a Fall Festival that was put on by ITIP (Infant and Toddler Intervention Program), the people who provide us with our ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) services. Corgan absolutely adores his speech therapist, Abbey. Unfortunately, she told us the other day that she is moving to England to be with her husband while he studies at Cambridge. I almost cried when she told me! I have so enjoyed having her come work with Corgan and every time she comes, he gets so excited and says, "Addy, Addy!!!" He hates when she leaves and cries for about five minutes for her every time. Sigh.

Anyway, we went to the party and Corgan had a ball! There were balloons (another obsession of his), play-doh, cookie decorating, candy digs, bean bag tosses, clowns, and LOTS of fun! Corgan kept going after the balloons and letting them go. He didn't want to leave, he was having such a great time.

"What?"

Yummy!

"You've got to be kidding me, Mom."

Playdoh with Abbey

Corgan's Speech Therapist, Abbey

Cool Pumpkin!

New Trick!

Corgan LOVES shoes! (yes, Uncle Larry, some of us country folk wear shoes....) He has a new trick where he can put his shoes on ALL BY HIMSELF! He wants to wear them ALL day long. He can even get them on the right feet! Now, pants, he can live without....

Poor me.....

(I tried to post this on Wednesday but Blogger wasn't working, so here ya go!)

Today was kinda a crappy day. I had to have a root canal (oh joy), not a pleasant experience. Then I found out I didn't get a class I had auditioned for, which bummed me out. It was going to be a big pay raise and I was kind of disappointed. Oh, well.....



Last night we went trick or treating with they Bryans. We just went around the neighborhood and visited some members of the ward. Corgan was dressed up as a doctor like his grandpa and Evan was Tigger. Both boys scored as far as candy goes (which means the parents scored as far as candy goes). Corgan signed and said "thank you" at every house we went to. I've been trying to get him to sign thank you for many, many months to no avail! He's just made leaps and bounds as far as his language goes. I can't even list all the things he says/signs. The kid is SMART. Not to mention cute.....

We have finally decided upon a name for our new baby boy.... Caiden Cole. We went through MANY names and this one feels right. Watch when he comes out I'll be like, "Nope, not a Caiden. He's a Bill." That would figure!

Corgan was having fun playing with his diaper the other day. He can be kind of a butt head sometimes, but this is going too far!!!!
