Popsicles make everybody happy...

I just ran across this one. This was probably the beginning of Corbin REALLY enjoying being an older brother. From this time, when he got Archer to respond happily to his popsicle offerings, Corbin has taken a larger role in being the entertainer of baby. We love to see the boys interact!

Mish-Mash of our lives...

This is a collage that Picasa made of the photos I have in my computer.  Thought some of you might get a kick out of scanning through it...

Corbin on Parade

 

 

 

Corbin marched in the Pioneer Day Parade with the advanced band for his middle school. He plays trombone and as you can see he was looking sharp! They sounded as good as they looked.

We haven't attended this parade in the 5 years that we've lived here and as soon as we saw two minutes of the parade we realized why. After we watched hundreds (this is no exaggeration) of old tractors drive by, lulling Dustin and Preston to sleep, we finally got rewarded when we saw shiny brass instruments marching our way. They were the hit of the parade! Congratulations Corbs!

Preston's 1st Birthday!!!

 

 

 

Preston turned one on August 29th and he had a fabulous birthday party. He was in need of a nap and Corbin had to give him a little taste of the frosting off of his cake before Preston would dive in, but he eventually figured it out and enjoyed himself. Weighing in at 30 pounds and 32 inches long, we often call him our little-big baby. Happy Birthday Preston!

Tie Game...

Can't tell who's winning here, but it just brought back such great memories! I love that guy :)

Bounce House Battle!

When you step into the ring with Dimitri, you better be ready to rumble! As you can see here, he was winning, so I had to poke him in the eye in order to prevail. Sometimes you gotta play dirty...

Easter at DnA's

This was the first Easter that Corbin was able to share with a brother. Looks like he was enjoying it! (Preston seemed pretty darn happy himself!)

Like father, like son...

Preston's favorite as an infant was Coke Classic. But as he gained weight, we decided we needed to turn him on to Coke Zero. So far he continues to gain weight though...Maybe it's just the breast milk?

Mad Greek Cafe!

Andrea makes us stop here every time we head to Utah. I have to admit--it's got me sold on Greek food.

P.S. At some point soon we'll have current pictures to post, but I feel like catching you guys up!

Yes, I have a wife :)

I just realized I hadn't posted any pics with Ann in them! So here's one from our trip to Missouri for Emily's graduation from Nursing School. Isn't she a stunner?! (Ann, not Em...though you're a hot mama yourself, sis!)

Yeah, I'm crazy. But hey, it's my blog, right?

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Wow, well I guess there was one time when I actually did something with my family! Here's the proof. It looks like we were having a good time...

Popcorn Frenzy!

I came home from work to this scene. I just thought it was too cute! Preston's one of the big kids, diving into the popcorn bowl. I guess Bart and Vicki's kids love popcorn as much as ours :)

Old Faithful

Just browsing through some Picasa pics...Man, Corbs and Ann do a lot of cool things while I'm home working! This was at Old Faithful a couple years ago, I think. Nice...

New to Picasa...

I used to be a Google-hater. But I can't fight it anymore. First I converted to Gmail & I love it. I've stopped resisting using Google as a search engine. We're starting to use Google Calendar too, so our schedules can be more on the same page.  Ann turned me on to the Google Reader, so I can keep up on blogs and feeds and stuff.  Now I finally installed Picasa, and I love the overall package it offers for my limited photo collection. And Blogger is much easier to use than any other blogs I've tried. So here goes...the first picture of my blog is the one I came across of me and Preston. I really can't believe he was ever that small! He just about fit right in my hand. For those of you that have been around him the last year, he barely fits in your arms anymore--he's a BRUISER!! But of course he's actually just a big softy. I love my family so much. I'll get some pics up of Corbs and Ann soon too. Let me know if there's other types of things you want to see or hear from us! It'll be good to share, like the rest of you have done so well for us the last few years... Dust
