Camp Mommy Day 2

Day 2 was cooking day. We started with jello jigglers. We put the jello in the fridge first thing so it had time to cool. Then we made a cookie pizza.


After the cookie pizza we moved on to flip flop cookies. I saw these in a magazine and thought they were a cute idea. They were just Vienna Fingers iced with sour straws for the straps. So easy and so cute. Corbin really took this seriously and worked very hard on them.


Here is the finished product! They were so proud of them.

Now the best part, eating our treats. Max was so excited!

And so was Corbin.

Another fun day of Camp Mommy!

Camp Mommy Day 3

Day 3 was parkapalooza! We visited the Republic and Battlefield park and then went out to lunch.

At the Republic park Max was afraid to cross the bridge to get to the slide but once he got across it he was a happy boy.

Corbin really wanted to climb this tree but it just didn't work out with his flip flops on.

I got the boys to sit still under this tree for about 5 seconds, just long enough for a quick picture.

It was a pretty hot day so instead of having a picnic at the park like we had planned we went to Godfather's for pizza. It was delicious!

Camp Mommy Day 4

Day 4 of Camp Mommy was arts and crafts day. We started out with some painting. Max was really into this.


Both boys working hard on their masterpiece.


Then we made stick puppets using foam cut outs and popsicle sticks.

After we made our puppets Corbin decided to use them to entertain us with a puppet show.

Then Max joined in on the puppet show.

We also got playdough out but I didn't get any pictures of that. It was another fun day!

Camp Mommy Day 5

To end our fun week we took a tour of Springfield. We started the day at Krispy Kreme. The boys were so excited to get a balloon and a hat. They both had 2 donuts. Yummy!


Then we went to Jump Mania. The last time we were there Max stayed in the area for kids ages 3 and under. Not this time! He got in all the big jumpers. I was a little nervous about this but he did great and Corbin stayed right with him.



Corbin really wanted Max to climb up this ladder but of course he was too little so Corbin had to do it on his own.

After Jump Mania we went to Incredible Pizza. I was so busy chasing after the boys there that I didn't get any pictures. That night we finished our week with some sparklers outside. Then Ryan and the boys camped in a tent in the living room. It was a great week and I can't wait to do it again next summer.

A fun day at the lake

A few weeks ago we spent the day at the lake with friends from school and their kids. Ryan even took the day off to go with us. It was very hot that day so the water felt great! The boys had a blast and we ended up being there for over 4 hours. Here are some picutres of our fun day.

Corbin's first loose tooth

Corbin has his first loose tooth! He has been wanting to lose a tooth for over a year now. He keeps thinking it is just about to fall out. Unfortunately it still has a little ways to go. Hopefully it will be soon.

Carrie Underwood

I am a HUGE fan of Carrie Underwood. I loved her from the first moment I saw her on American Idol. I think she is an amazing singer and a great role model for kids. When it was announced back in February that she would be coming to Springfield I knew right that I wanted to go. Unfortunately the tickets sold out in under 2 hours and even though I tried I was not able to get tickets. The day of they show I just happened to be in the car listening to the radio when they announced that more seats had become available. So I called and was able to get us tickets. Corbin wanted to go with us too. He is also a big fan. It was a GREAT concert! She sounds great live and definitely keeps you entertained. I am so glad we went! And I hope it is something Corbin will always remember.
