FIVE Months!!!

Can you believe it? Me either! He loves tummy time,can sit for a few seconds unassisted, he has a little tooth coming in on the bottom right. He laughs, cracks up at funny faces, melts my heart with every smile. Our big boy! Corban coos,blows raspberries, rolls, grabs for objects then puts them directly into his mouth. He loves standing, and is so strong. He screams like a pterodactyl! He puts his hands around our neck, nuzzles and hugs. He's so happy and wakes up with a smile. He talks really sweetly at bedtime. We kiss on him constantly.

Corban at 5 days old



Here he is at 5 weeks old -I really feel like this was yesterday.




And now! On the day he turned 5 months, we went to the Balloon Festival.





He kicks and turns pages in books, they make him so happy!




We also went to hang went to Best Buy and Brandon had us all cracking up



Then it was time for cake to celebrate his 5 month mark!



I'm going to try to get some videos uploaded by this weekend-it's been a busy last week at school. Their last day is tomorrow, Friday, June 3rd. I get out on Monday. Can't wait to spend the summer doing what I truly love-being with Corban 24/7.

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was wonderful. It started off with our smiley baby boy cuddling with us in the bed. Then, my sweet husband made me chocolate chip and pecan pancakes! Delicious! Next, he gave me the sweetest card from Corban. It was very touching and made me tear up.
We made it to church on time for Corban's dedication. What a neat way to celebrate my first Mother's Day. Being his mother has been such a joy and I just feel so fortunate-so happy. As we stood in front of the church I felt overwhelmed with love and happiness that we are, due to God, able to stand before him and state that we will do our best in raising Corban in a Christian home. God first. Pastor Mike introduced all of us, then he pointed out everyone's families that could be in attendance. My Dad, Mom, Stan and Dennis were there-but we were the only family that had the Great Grandparents there also! So glad the Billstone's were able to join us for the service. After introductions and a prayer; the congregation closed the Dedication portion by singing "Jesus Loves Me."
After church it was off to my Mom and Stan's for a delicious lunch. It was pretty special having The Billstone's over as well. We all had a nice Mother's Day celebration. My sweet husband surprised me and my mom with matching "MoM" charms for our bracelets. Very thoughtful. All in all, just a beautiful day-

Corban at the First Neon Desert Music Festival

4/30/10
The show brought in more than 11 thousand ppl. It was great for EP. Our very close friends pulled this together over the last couple of years. Corban was the only kid rockin' noise canceling earmuffs and lots of random ppl came up and wanted pics of him. Others gave us the thumbs up. It was awesome. Daddy worked his tail off making shaved ice for the masses. He is such a hard worker. Proud of him.
