Happy Halloween

2011-11-03T07:26:00.001-07:00

Corbin did not want to get in his costume or go trick or treating but after a couple doors he started to get into it. He is wearing a crocodile costume.

Tired Boy

Corbin fell asleep playing with his tractors one afternoon. I took too long to put him down for his nap because I was on the phone.

Enjoying some Tiger tiger ice cream. Yum!

Doesn't like the taste of sand. He is trying to rub the sand off his tongue but there is sand all over his hands.

Corbin still loves his wagon.

I love this picture of Corbin in his sunglasses.

Brandon wanted me to throw in a picture of his Canola field.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday Corbin!

2011-04-16T21:31:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Corbin turned one today. This past year has flown by. Corbin loves to hang out with his dad and he loves to sit on his shoulders. Corbin helping Brandon bbq. Can you believe the snow in the background?!! I am so sick of snow, I am ready for summer, or to move someplace warmer....... Corbin is helping Brandon put his wagon together. Corbin loves his wagon. Thanks grandma and grandpa for getting the wagon for Corbin. Hopefully the weather warms up so we can take it outside. Corbin doesn't like the monkey face looking at him. Corbin was fine with the cake once it wasn't looking at him. Can you see how dirty the water is in the background? One messy boy, but he sure had fun!

Growing up too fast

2011-01-31T17:31:00.000-08:00

The little stinker loves to spit.

Look at those big blue eyes!

Lately Corbin has been sticking out his tongue a lot.

Corbin sure is a fast little thing when he is crawling, especially if I accidently leave the bathroom door open.

Corbin loves to climb on his carseat, unfortunately it's not very stable so right after I took this picture Corbin tipped and landed right on his face. Oops.

Merry Christmas

Corbin is growing up so fast! He is crawling now and gets into everything.

We took this rocking horse from my cousin Heather because Corbin loved it at her house. He still gets excited everytime he is sees it. He will stay on the horse with Brandon holding on to him for like a half hour.

Canada Day!

2010-07-01T19:39:00.001-07:00

Today was my first time celebrating the 1st of July. This is my first time being in Canada on the 1st of July. I had a lot of fun. We watched the Hill Spring parade, went to the Hill Spring Program, hung out with family and went to the rodeo.

Brandon was in the tractor for most of the day hauling hay. His dad has many names for Brandon today its 'Psycho Sid'

Corbin is 9 weeks old today!

2010-06-18T07:39:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Corbin got his 2 month immunizations. He now weighs 11 lbs. 5 oz and is 22.5 inches long. He just keeps growing and now he is starting to fill out and get rolls....which are just so dang cute!

Corbin is starting to be more awake and alert and loves to have conservations. He likes to hear people sing and he loves it when he gets to hang out with his cousins because it gives him something to watch.

Brandon can always get Corbin to smile and laugh. It is a lot of fun to watch.

6 week check up

2010-06-05T08:19:00.000-07:00

Corbin just keeps growing. Look at those chubby cheeks..so cute! Last week was his 6 week check up. He weighed 9 lbs 9 oz and was 21.5 inches long. That puts him in the 55% range.

My sister in law Jami took pictures of Corbin for me. He was a stinker and does not like his picture taken. We still got a couple cute pics.

Birth Announcement

2010-05-20T18:34:00.000-07:00

My cousin Heather made this birth announcement and I think it turned out really cute.
Corbin was born three weeks early. I went in for a doctors appointment and ended up being induced. I had Corbin very fast and it was a suprise to me and everyone else. My mom came out to help and I am glad she did. She ended up staying a lot longer than planned because I got sick. We sure are glad she could stay and we appreciate all she did for us and now we miss her very much.. I really wanted to get a picture with her and Corbin but I never did.

Baby crib and bedding

2010-03-21T17:44:00.001-07:00

We set up the crib today in the baby's room. I absolutely love the crib and bedding.

Boys and their toys

2010-03-09T16:19:00.000-08:00

Brandon got his new tractor today.
Boys don't outgrow toys the toys just get bigger!

Brandon has his harvesting equipment set up and ready for the baby. This is our dresser but it does not fit in our room so right now it is in the second bedroom which is the guest room and soon to be nursery. I told Brandon that I wanted to use the space on top of the dresser for storage and to place more important things than his tractors. I was told that these are important for the baby and I am not allowed to move them.

Christmas

2010-01-09T11:25:00.001-08:00

This year for Christmas we went to South Dakota to my parents house. We were planning on flying but the flight was cancelled because of weather. So we ended up driving. It's a long drive but I am glad we were able to make it. Everyone was planning on coming but unfortunately my sister Megan and her family didnt make it.
We took a family photo when we were all together but it isnt complete since Megan and her family didnt make it.
We had a lot of fun while we were there. Thanks mom and dad for everything!!

It's a .......

2009-12-11T08:43:00.000-08:00

I had my ultrasound yesterday. The ultrasound tech didnt say much so I have to wait til my next doctor's appt to find out anything. It looked like the baby was in a good position to see if its a boy or girl but I couldnt tell.

New Edition

2009-11-23T10:23:00.000-08:00

WE ARE EXPECTING!!!!!
Baby Gibblet is due to arrive May 4.
We are both very excited. Brandon is convinced we are having a boy.
I am having an ultrasound on Dec. 10 so we will just have to wait and see.

Its been a while......

2009-11-16T18:26:00.000-08:00

So I have been in the land of the maple leaves for 4 months now. I cannot work because I have no status in Canada and I need a work visa which I cannot get unless I have a job first. So people always ask what do I do all day? Answer- nothing.
Last year at this time I was working over time and going to school almost full time and all I wanted was to have nothing to do. Well I got my wish.
I have taken a few small trips.
Brandon and I went to Glacier National Park in August.
In September I went to Ohio to visit my sister Molly.
Then I went with Brandon on a business trip to Saskatchewan. In October I went to Kalispell for a girls weekend with my in-laws which was lots of fun. My cousin Heather had a baby girl so I went to Utah to visit her a couple weeks ago.

Update

2009-07-02T15:57:00.000-07:00

We are moving! Brandon got a job as an agronomist in Cardston, Alberta and we are moving to his hometown of Hill Spring. Brandon has actually been in Canada all summer but I am moving July 11 to join him.

Brandon is officially an U.S. citizen. We went to Bosie yesterday to the immigration office and Brandon was sworn in along with 50 other people. We are both so excited because it took a lot of paperwork and money to get it.

Happy Birthday Brandon!!!

Family Pictures

2009-05-02T00:51:00.000-07:00

Of course Brandon wanted some pictures with farm equipement.

Cute couple!

So Brandon and I had his friend take some family pictures of us. When I told people we were getting family pictures they would laugh and say they would look just like engagement pictures. I told Brandon's friend to make the pictures not look like engagment pictures. After a couple shots he was like "uhh, I really don't know how". I thought that was really funny. Well Brandon and I had fun taking the pictures and I think some of them turned out really well. Now I need to hurry and get some printed and framed. I really want to make a picture collage with some of the pictures.

My grandparents

2009-05-02T00:43:00.001-07:00

So I went to Colorado to visit my grandparents. I went because my grandma had surgery on her hand and I wanted to help out. I was only going to stay a week but while I was there my grandpa ended up having surgery because he had a bladder stone so I decided I should stay an extra week to help out. I haven't seen my grandma or grandpa in a couple years so it was nice to go and visit and it was nice to take it easy for a little while. So this picture I took on my phone without telling them I was taking it.

Blanket

2009-05-02T00:31:00.000-07:00

So I took care of an older guy at work and got to know him and his wife and they were a lot of fun to talk to. For some reason they thought I was great even though I accidentally sprayed IV fluid all over him. (Ooops!) Luckily he was really nice about it. Anyway, the wife was making a baby blanket and I was talking to her about it and she said she wanted to give it to me. I told her I couldn't take it but she insisted when she finished it she would give it to me. I took care of this patient for a couple days in a row but by the time he was discharged the blanket wasn't finished. I told the wife not to worry about it but she insisted she would drop if off when it was done. Well, when I went to work this week the blanket was there. I was suprised and I thought it was very nice that she really gave it to me. I guess I should spray more of my patients with fluid.

We did it!!!!

2009-05-02T00:21:00.000-07:00

So Brandon and I finally graduated! I was so excited that we were able to graduate together. I had hoped we would graduate together and then Brandon decided maybe he would go summer semester. I kind of put my foot down and basically told Brandon that he had to finish in one semester. He took 23 credits this semester to graduate and that was a lot of work for him but he did it and everything worked out. School is not Brandon's favorite thing, in fact he has only been going one semester a year but I am glad he finally finished. I am so proud of him especially since he is the first one in his family to get a bachelors. I think that is a huge accomplishment. I graduated with my first associate degree back in 2004 then I got my RN degree last spring (2008) and have been working full time as a nurse and taking BSN classes. I graduated with my BSN and I am so glad I am done because I so sick of school. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all of my free time!

I love my husband!

2009-05-02T00:11:00.000-07:00

So this year for my birthday Brandon got me a picture of the Cardston Temple that his friend took and had it framed. I had no idea I was going to get this for my birthday and I was very excited.

Brandon is currently taking 21 credits in School, he is taking; chem 101, range ecology, agricultural marketing, crop physioligy, leaders in ag, Religion 215, intro to visual art.

We are both graduating with Bacheloers in April, Brandon will have a B.S. in Agricultural plant and soil science, and I will have a B.S. in Nursing. We are both so excited to be done school!!! Currently we are planning on moving back up to Canada where Brandon is from. He is purchasing a farm up there, and is going into farming with a friend of his as well. So he will be farming at two places about 7 hrs apart. We are excited for this change in life, and really nervous about as well. We will be apart in the summer, Brandon is going up to Canada to farm, and I am going to stay down here and work, I will be moving up when I get my Canadian nursing license and my immigration stuff.

Thanksgiving

2008-11-30T18:11:00.000-08:00

We haven't been very good on keeping our blog up to date sorry about that! We were up in hillspring Alberta Canada at Brandon's Parents place for Thanksgiving. It was a good time, we were up there for a week, we went Quadding a few times, and went up to Calgary for a day, and mainly just hung out and relaxed. We had a big U.S thanksgiving dinner with some of the family, it was very good. We went up to their cabin Quadding, what a pretty place! we are lucky to have that land in the family. We both have 2 weeks left in this semester, we are pretty sick of school at this point, but we see the light at the end of the tunnel, we will both graduate with our Bachelor's in April (if we don't fail any classes).
