Ice Cream Man!
Apparently the ice cream man doesn't just work in the summer time anymore because we got a visit the other day... in the fall! It was Korbens first experience getting ice cream from a moving vehicle... and he loved it! The weather has been just beautiful lately and it was a perfect day to enjoy some ice cream! The driver was a driving a little fast so we had to chase him down by the time we got our money, but it was well worth it!

Welcome home, Ringer!
Next week is Joey and Jeni's wedding...so crazy! Korben is giong to be the ring bearer and Jeni was so sweet and took Korben to Build-A-Bear as his gift for being in the wedding. The kid loves doggies and had no problem picking out the one he wanted! He kinda got into all the fun stuff after it was already done but he didn't know any different and had a blast doing it anyway! We named the new family addition Ringer, after Korbens role in the wedding. :) I can't believe I'm going to have a new sister in just 9 days! Thanks so much for the awesome gift and experience for Korben! He is one lucky kid to have you in his family! Love you!!!
Doing some fluffin'....poor Korben didn't realize that Ringer was already stuffed by the time he started using the foot pedal thingy!
Ringer needs a bath before he can come home :)
I think he's pretty proud of his new doggie :)
Aunt Jeni dressed Ringer in his tux while Korben and Joey made his birth certificate :)
Uncle Joey is so much fun!
Some fun play time with Aunt Jeni!
Ringer is ready to go home :)

K's 18 Month Stats and Anniversay Fun!
This past Wednesday, Josh and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. There are a few things on my to-do list and since it's been several years since our last adventure, I thought it was about time to cross something else off the list. But first we had Korbens 18 month check-up that same morning so let's start with his stats:
Length: 35 in. (95th %)
Weight: 27.4 lb. (75th %)
Head: 50 cm (90th %)
Both, his weight and length percentiles are up from his last check up which doesn't really surprise me... he is definitely a growing boy! I can't carry him around for long periods of time these days! And when he got his shots, he did not shed a single tear! I still cringed a little, but got over it pretty quick once I saw that it didn't seem to really even bother Korben in the least. I'm so proud of him!
Later, Josh and I headed over to Zero Gravity in Dallas to bungee jump! It's a thrill amusement park with 5 different things to do so we went ahead and made the most of our trip and bought the "thrill seeker" package and did everything. 3 of the 5 were just really big amusement type rides but 2 of them really got the adrenaline going! One of them of course being the bungee jump; the other one was a 200 foot free fall into a net. The free fall was nerve wracking because you didn't know when the guy was going to unclip you, but once he did, it was a lot of fun! The bungee jump was not nearly as fun as skydiving but it was much harder to do because there wasn't anyone to jump for you; you had to make the decision to jump off the ledge yourself! But once the jump was made, it was totally awesome! We got video of the bungee jump and the free fall thing so I'll let them show you the rest! :)

Much needed R&R
I again forgot to charge my camera battery so we have virtually no pictures to go with this post, BUT our trip to Austin without munchkin this past weekend was really fun and much needed! My parents (Gram and Grandpa) came in from Abilene to watch Korben while we were gone. They arrived on Wednesday night and Josh and I left the house Thursday afternoon. Our goodbye's took a while mainly because I really didn't want to say goodbye to Korben for so long. But I made it through it and Korben was such a trooper! He barely fussed at all when we left, which I thought would be bittersweet for me b/c ya know, I want him to miss me, but it really made leaving easier knowing that I wasn't leaving him sad!
We didn't do much Thursday night... my aunt and uncle cooked some yummy steaks for us and we visited for a while and headed to bed. The main reason for going to Austin was to see the musical "Wicked" which was Friday night, but Josh and I also wanted to go bungee jumping... we're spontaneous like that! We searched for hours for a place we could go and got nowhere. We only found one place to call and nobody ever answered the phone.... so much for being spontaneous! So no bungee jumping that day. :( We ended up going downtown and eating lunch at a cool place called Opal Divine and then we went to the movies and saw G.I. Joe which was actually a pretty good movie.... all a little boring after what I THOUGHT we would be doing on Friday, but still fun! That night, we saw the Wicked musical and it was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good musical!
Saturday, we were very "tourist-y" and went to the state capitol. Uncle Steve was a great tour guide and showed us all the cool stuff that recently got renovated. There was a big protest going on right outside the building too which was interesting. My favorite part of the day though was kayaking! We went up river and then docked by the dam and did a bit of swimming and visiting and then headed back down stream. It was gorgeous and so much fun! Afterwards, we had some delicious Mexican food at Maudies.... truly a great day and a great trip all together! Thanks Lori and Steve!
Sunday we headed home. Korben was sleeping when we got back but had a huge smile on his face when he woke up and saw Mommy and Daddy! It was so sweet! He immediately wanted his daddy and gave him a big hug and kiss. Mommy got her turn with the hugs and kisses after Korben and Daddy both got their fix. :) It was so good seeing that little guy and hearing his sweet voice again! According to Gram and Grandpa, he did super the whole weekend and wore them out! :) He stayed busy swimming in frog pool, learning to spell his name with sidewalk chalk, chasing Sam, and being his regular wild self! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Korben while we were gone!
