NICU Reunion!

We had the big NICU reunion was last weekend.  It was a good time!  We told the boys we were going to a party and Corbin looked at me and said "Yah, Mommy...we go to your birthday parrtyyy!".  Quinn then replied with "I don't want to sing the birthday song" (he cried at the last party we were at during the song!!).  So, before we went we showed Corbin and Quinn some pictures of them with the nurses when they were in the hospital.  They still just knew we were going to a party and cake was probably going to be involved. :)  It was fun and emotional to see so many of the people that had such a huge impact on all of our lives.  We can never thank any of them enough...

At home relaxing after the shin-dig.  Daddy walked in and caught the boys turning their buckets, that were full of treats from the party, into some hats!

Camping, Kites and Cookouts

Quinn and Corbin are lovin' the warmer weather.  A couple of weekends ago Daddy camped with the boys for the first time.  Now, for the first time they camped in the basement, but it was still an adventure!  Quinn made it all night in the tent with Daddy, but Corbin woke up at some point and had Daddy take him up to sleep in the comfy bed with Mommy.  The boys loved the tent.  When Daddy first asked them if they wanted to go camping that morning, Corbin yelled "Yeah! And we can go fishing!!".  Quinn followed with "FISHING, yes!"  We had to explain no fishing at this campout, but this summer they wold be able to.  One of their favorite songs is "Fishing in the Dark".:) 

We had the Sweany's over for a cookout the next day.  The boys loved hanging out with their daughter Alaina.  Quinn seemed to be especially liking her...he followed her everywhere and did everything she did.  Chances are they  may be trouble together when they're older! ;)  That weekend was the first kite-flying.  Corbin and Quinn were pumped about the Batman kites.  It was fun for all!  

Corbin (brown) and Quinn (green) have discovered golf.  They even watched some of "The Masters" with Daddy.:)
