Dorsan's Birthday Party

Dorsan's 8th Birthday was this past weekend and we had a pool party for him. His cousins all came to play. It seems like I will be having pool parties forever, and it is always about 100 degrees on the day of his party. We had some water balloons for the kids as well. They had fun with those, but of course after about 5 minutes they were gone. Cousin Kennan was up from Alabama and Dorsan was pretty excited. We took them to go see Transformers. The new transformers is definitely for teens and adults and not the kids so much. We were disappointed because of the amount of language and crudeness. We expected it to be like the first one and more kid oriented. So if you are thinking of taking the kiddos to see it here is the heads up. I would have more pictures but I always forget to charge the battery on my camera right before something major so I run out of battery about 10 minutes in. Will have more to post after the reunion. Even have one of us together.

kids and food

The kids have decided they would rather play with their food before they eat it. Here are some pics of the kids and their food creations. I also have a picture of Corbin with my oven mitts on his hands and feet because he wanted to become a monkey. Here is a picture of Dorsan at his cub scout car wash. They raised about $260.00.

Corbin swimming

So this past weekend Corbin decided to let go of the life jacket and try swimming all on his own. He is doing pretty well with it. We are in our 2nd set of swimming lessons and he has finally worked up the confidence to venture out on his own. Now he is trying to dive under and touch the bottom of the pool and swim underwater as well as jumping off the ladder and the side of the pool at the Y. Dorsan has passed the deep water swim test and likes to go under in the deep end and dive for rings and things on the bottom of the pool. He really loves going down the slide at the Y. Will have to try and get a picture next time. Too many kids in the pool this past time and was afraid they would get my camera wet with all their splashing.

preschool graduation

So I forgot to post Corbin's Preschool graduation photos. He is so excited to be going to Kindergarten next year. They had a 1/2 day where the preschool age kids got to spend the morning in kindergarten. Corbin got to ride the bus to school with Dorsan. He was really excited about riding the bus. From what I hear the Kindergarten teacher for Blackwater is awesome. I just hope she is there this fall when he starts I have heard rumors that she may not be teaching next year. Dorsan received 4 awards at the end of the year. He was really excited to receive all those. Here is Dorsan break dancing for the school talent show. He did pretty well and most of the parents were commenting on doing those moves when they were younger. Everybody was laughing. I was afraid Dorsan wouldn't make it or would feel hurt with the audience laughing, but was excited about it all. I have a feeling when Adam sees this he will gladly teach the sprinkler and some of the other taff favorites to Dorsan's moves.

The time has come

So I have now joined the world of the blogspot. Hope I can keep it updated regularly and being home this summer I should be able to become the camera wizard and take bunches of photos of the boys and the updates on the house. Last weekend we added a patio to the back of the house and cemented in the rocks on the waterfall. Actually have photos to post of those. I will have more photos than stories at the moment so I will try to cram as much in as possible. I will add photos of Corbins b-day party and more I have taken throughout the year. Corbin is quite the goofball he reminds me of Adam and Jake with some of things he can do like the glasses and underwear on his head. Dorsan is just into video games so it hard to get get him in goofy moments. Although thought the photo of him during one of his basketball games was quite comical. He did crack me up during his spring concert when we was swinging his arms the entire time he was singing.
