Corbin's past 4 months update

Like I said in Dillon's post that because it has been so long since I've posted I thought that I would do a little update on each one. I forgot that that post would go down after another post. Anyways, it is pretty sad how little of Corbin I have actually posted. Luckily, I take more pictures than I post! He is getting so big and is the happiest little guy too! He loves to be a part of the action, and it is a good thing because he is #3 and there's not a lot of down time.
I feel bad I never posted his blessing day. It was an important day in his life and he was really sweet and handsome too! It was just after Christmas and so lots of family could attend. It was a special day.
He is also getting pretty good at sitting up and playing with his toys. He loves all the toys that fit easily into his mouth. His brothers just pile on the toys, he was starting to look overwhelmed.
As you can tell the third picture is of him and his brothers on St. Patrick's Day. They all had spikey hair that day!
And finally, this is his 5 month picture! I can't believe he is already that old. He is a great addition to our family!

Colin's past 4 months update

Colin has stayed pretty busy these past 4 months. He has a routine every morning he wakes up eats breakfast, says hello to Corbin (if he's awake), we send Dillon off on the school bus, and then he asks me if I would like to light saber fight him! By the end I have lost both legs and arms but his miraculously regenerate, it is amazing! I have to say, he is getting to be quite the Jedi!
And then two days a week he has preschool. He loves to learn and loves to play with his friends. In preschool this past month we tried to trick Lucky, the leprechaun, and see if we could catch him. We talked about how hard it is to catch one; and so we decided to build an over-sized leprechaun hat that has a trap hole under the gold coin. Well we didn't trick him but he left us some shiny silver peppermint patties!
And finally, Colin has started soccer. We didn't get a picture of his first game of the season because Brent is his coach and was out on the field with him, and I was at Dillon's T-ball game that happened to be at the exact same time. I hear it was a great game and he scored 4 goals!

Dillon's past 4 months update

It has been awhile since I've posted anything. And to prove that we're busy enough to not have time I've put together a collage of each kid and their past 4 months! Dillon lost his 1st tooth last month so we had to get a picture of his new smile. His other front tooth is loose, I can't wait to get a picture of that.

He also recieved an award from his teacher for being so responsible, (he must get that from Brent!) We are proud of how well he is doing at school. I can't believe that he only has a couple more months.

And last but not least, Dillon has started T-ball and soccer! I really don't know what we were thinking having him do both; he is a busy kid going from one to the other. Thank goodness he has lots of energy!

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas! The boys didn't wake up until 8:15am but when they did they were ready to open the presents. I walked into the room and the boys were checking out their presents, as soon as Colin saw me he opened his present from Dillon. He forgot to wait for Brent and Grandma Deborah!

We thought we'd let Corbin sleep a little bit but he knew he was missing out and joined the party not long after we started. Dillon was really excited about his rocket ship and his Star Wars lego game. Colin's favorite was his Megatron transformer and his jet airplane! Corbin's favorite was his sock monkey, oh wait that was mine!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we spent over at my parents house, with 3 of my sisters and my mother-in-law. It was a yummy dinner and a great program. The kids sang, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" and they did the nativity scene. It was so cute to watch the kids perform. Also my parents gave their presents to the grandkids, my mom sewed all 19 grandkids temple pajamas and gave them a temple picture. Corbin got a pair as well but he was asleep in his car seat, however, he got cut out of the picture on accident!

The New Larkin Family

With our new little Corbin we thought we would attempt a new family picture. It was done on a fall afternoon in a matter of 30 minutes. We did it in our backyard so I could rush Corbin in the house. It is not perfect but great for memories and is always a good present to give to grandparents and great grandparents for Christmas!

Our Tree Trimming

We put our Christmas tree up last tuesday night. The boys had a great time helping build the tree. It is our first year with an artificial tree, I miss the smell but I'm enjoying not having to vaccum up the needles. Good trade? I'm not sure yet.

Well we are ready for Santa to come to our house. At lunch Dillon, Colin and I were discussing what we were going to leave Santa to eat this year. Or course our conversation ended with the boys arguing over whose spot at the table we would leave Santa's plate at!

We hope that all of you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
