Cowboy Day

Cason's school is learning all about Texas and today they had Cowboy Day at school. They had lots of fun activities, a petting zoo, a cowboy snack and more. Cason even got to feed a baby pig with a bottle :)

Here he is all dressed up for cowboy day---such a cutie!

Here he is making a cowboy face---LOL

and again...

Rangers Game

We took Cason to his first Rangers game today and we had such a great time together. We knew Corbin would not do well sitting in the stands so we got a sitter for him and had a fun day with Cason. He had lots of junk food to keep him happy during the game. Was he interested in actually watching the baseball game??? Not so much but I know that will change as he gets older. He had a great time eating cotton candy and hanging out with us all by himself. Our seats were pretty far back so I think he would have stayed more interested if we had been sitting somewhere he could see a little better. He loved the fireworks with the home runs, he loved all the songs, and he loved joining in with the clapping fans. It was a great day!

This handsome boy starts his very first season of t-ball next month...

He was pretending to be a pirate in this pic :)

And on another note----our little soccer player scored 3 goals at his soccer game on Saturday :)

Score!

This little cutie scored his first soccer goal at his game on Saturday!

My handsome boys

I took some pictures of the boys on our way to play at the park today because I have been slacking on my picture taking lately. I think it is near impossible to get them both to look at me and smile at the same time. Cason was actually very cooperative and willing to take some pictures but Corbin was just too interested in everything that was going on around him. Most of the pictures of Corbin are of him pointing at something he found interesting. Maybe when they are older it will be easier---LOL :) They sure are handsome boys!

First Soccer Game

Cason had his very first soccer game today. It was so funny to watch. The kids needed to be reminded which goal they were aiming for several times---LOL. Cason didn't score any goals today but he stayed out there and tried his hardest and we are SO proud of him! I can't wait to watch him play again :)

During warm up, every time Cason would kick his ball in the goal, he would run over to us screaming, "I did it, I did it!" and want a high five----it was just the cutest thing!!!

A couple of videos from today....

Easter 2013

Corbin had his surgery a couple of days before Easter so we stayed home for Easter Sunday and celebrated as a family. It was raining outside so we did our egg hunt inside the house for the boys. For most of the pictures our camera was switched to a different setting that caused the pictures to be very blurry and we didn't notice until it was too late---oh well we still got some cute ones.

Here are a few.....

Corbin's Surgery

We went to see an ENT last week because poor Corbin has pretty much had a nonstop ear infection since mid January. Every time we finish an anti-biotic we would just have to start another one. Our pediatrician told us we were on the strongest one and that since we couldn't get it cleared up we would probably need tubes. Corbin has only had one previous ear infection (when he was 6 months old) before January so we were just so shocked that he was suddenly having such bad ear problems. With Cason, he had ear problems starting from when he was very young so we knew he would have to get tubes but we thought we were in the clear with Corbin---we were wrong. When they did his hearing test, she said she had to turn up the volume several times for him and one of his ears was showing no vibration at all and the other had very little---not good. The doctor saw lots of fluid in his ears and said that the fluid was what was causing the hearing problems. The solution----ear tubes of course.

He said that since we have a family history of ear problems, he wanted to check his adenoids during surgery and see if they needed to be removed. So after they put the tubes in, they took a picture of his adenoids. The doctor said they were covering over 75% of his airway so they needed to come out. Poor Corbin had tubes and his adenoids taken out on Friday. He was SOOOOO mad when he woke up from anesthesia!!! We could not get him to calm down. Finally, the nurse had to give him some extra pain medicine and he still wouldn't calm down. She was just about to put some additional medicine in his IV (a sedative) and he calmed down thankfully. I thought Cason was so mad when coming out of anesthesia but Corbin was much worse! Thankfully, after a good nap Corbin was doing much better. Hopefully, when we go back for our 6 week post op appointment, his hearing will be back to normal.
