Welcome Arabelle

As promised, here are pictures of the first couple days of Arabelle's life. She has been such a blessing so far and we are so thankful for her!

Minutes after Arabelle was born

Daddy's 1st time holding her

Getting her bath. She didn't like it; if you couldn't tell!

She calmed down a lot when she got her hair washed

Relaxing after the bath with her baby doll from Grandpa

Uncle Aaron - we'll get saying 'go Eagles' soon!

Uncle Seth and Aunt Melissa

a very proud Grandpa!

Meeting Pappa - don't worry Pappa, when the time is right Arabelle will love playing dress-up and dolls with you! :)

Nana & Pappa have gotten all the grandchildren so far a lamb that plays "Jesus loves me". Arabelle's was the first one with pink instead of blue! What fun!!!!

Corbin's 1st time holding his sister

Checking out her eyes!

Cousin Joey & Jay hanging out at the hospital - Joey's laugh keep us quite entertained!

Sucking her finger

Daddy's hand shows how little she really is!

What a great daddy
Going home! Yeah!!!!

She didn't like being in the car seat at first, but she warmed up to it pretty quickly

1st self-portrait w/ mommy - on the drive home

Here we are! It was not very nice weather for her homecoming - Rain!

Chilling at home

There will be more to come soon!

Arabelle Deanne Has Arrived!

Corbin's baby sister made her grand entrance last night. She was born Thursday May 29 at 6:16pm. She weighed 7lb 6oz and was 20 inches long. She has wavy blonde hair and quite a lot of it! We think that she is absolutely adorable (not that we are biased or anything!). We will attempt to get some pictures posted in the next day or two so stay tuned! :)

Camping

We went camping this weekend with our church. It was a lot of fun and we got to spend good quality time with friends and family.

Corbin and Mattea were entertained on the drive there with Open Season or the "bear" movie as Corbin calls it

Testing the springs on the beds in our room

Swinging - Landon, Mikayla, Corbin, Mattea, and Wes


There was a huge sandbox that was very entertaining for all the kids

Going for a wagon ride with Landon, Mikayla, and Wes

Daddy took him out on the rocks

Checking out the creek with Mommy

Going down the tube slide

Going up for "more"

Wearing mommy's sunglasses - What a goof!

Hanging out with our friend Teri (he has a litle crush on her!)


Riding a scooter in his pj's

Our chalk family (Cory drew it)

He took his shirt off just before church service and said "I naked" over and over! It was quite funny!

Doing the Father Abraham song/dance

Riding in style

Mattea was trying to give Corbin fishy kisses and he was having no part of it

Checking out the dam

Helping Daddy put the canoe in the water


He liked putting his hand in the water or dragging his feet

I guess he thought that if one hand was fun two would be twice as fun! I was just scared he'd fall in!

Being a goof in someone's bike helmet

Look at all those kids

"Hit the ball" is what he kept saying

He was giving Mariah a kiss to try to get her to stop crying...

it didn't work!

Corbin getting a hug from Kassie

Julia, Corbin, and Kassie peeking through the soccer net


He fell asleep on my lap in the canoe. I guess that's what happens when you play hard all day and don't take a nap

Still sleeping... isn't he so precious
