He's TWO!!!!

Jace Thomas Corbin

April 10th

I'm 2 years old!

I like to...........

go outside, eat, vacuum, take baths, jump on the tramp, read books with "gamma", run down the driveway, call "gamma" on the phone.


My favorite foods are.......

ravioli, ice cream cones, avocados, cheese, PEZ candy, gummy vitamins


I always say......

"DAD, come here!"...... "Thank you"....... "I want baff"...."I Wanna watch Shawn Sheep"


I like to watch/read........

Shawn the Sheep, Cat in the Hat, Curious George, SpongeBob and books with eyes and animals in them.


I'm good at......

Eating, grinning at everyone, jumping, taking things to the trash, counting to 10


My favorite things......

my blanket, my grandma, my dad, my jammies (with no feet), getting my "hair" brushed


Things I hate.....

sleeping all night, lotion, socks, being left behind by the older cousins


Stuff.....

I am two! I weigh 23lbs. I am VERY left handed. I have super long eyelashes, I love to rub my blanket between my toes, I could read books for hours, my nickname is "potomous", I love cats, I wish my sister would let me play with her, and I love to color on my mom's walls.

LUBS!

When Addison was about two, her favorite phrase was, "I lub it!" She loved everything...."I lubba the truck, I lubba the grass, I lubba da moon, I lubba my purple room." Since it is the month of love......I wanted to share some of my favorite "lubs".

This is my new favorite color...even though I LUB all colors....this green seems to be at the top!

Cheese will always be my favorite food to lub.....ALWAYS!

Oh, how I miss thee! Soon, I will lub to mow the lawn again!

I lub my hair clipy thingies. Those who know me, know I hate to have my hair down. I can't stand anything touching my neck. Maybe 1 or 2 days a week, my hair is down, otherwise, it clipped up for a reason! I can't believe it is almost to my waist! I never see it down myself, so I forget how long it is getting...

I LUB my textured temple picture! I got it for my 7th anniversary....Then, I got depressed when every ward learned how to make them for Super Saturday and the cost was at least $60 LESS than what I paid for it and twice as big! Oh, well.....I still LUB it!.

I will go nowhere without them! I can't be outside unless my sunglasses are on! I go through at least a pair a week cause I lose them, break them or find a new cute pair! I wonder if they'll ever invent Lasik Sunglasses.........I would for sure lub that!

AHHHHHHH I LUUUUBBBB IT! Most of you know, I went off for 6 weeks.......I didn't drop a pound, I was in bed by 8 every night, I was a horrible, non-energetic teacher, and I was so tired of ordering water! I'm back to my senses now......

I lub my glue gun. This one is my first....I surprised it still works. I've upgraded many times. I've glued EVERYTHING!!! Shoes, halloween costumes, curtains, zippers, hemlines, crafts, you name it....I've hot-glued it back together!

I lub Jace's wall color. I never thought I would ever own anything orange; it is my least favorite color. I'm in Lub with how this turned out though.....

I LUB my two black rocking chairs on my front porch. This picture makes them look dirty and gross, but they're my favorite thing in my front yard!

I lub this picture.....it hangs in my dining room...I bought it at my favorite store called Kirkland's (which is now closed) and I couldn't get my car doors closed so I had to stand in the parking lot until someone with a bigger car could come and pick it up for me.

Who wouldn't lub these faces?

New project!

Many of you know, I love to clean, decorate, rearrange furniture, move, paint, etc. I've been itching to either re-arrange my classroom, or re-do something around my house. (p.s. I've got new flooring for the kid's rooms, I just need a willing spouse to put it in for me) Anyway, here's my latest project....

We bought this hutch thing almost 8 years ago. We've hauled it from house to house and I've decided it was incredibly boring. I loved it as a newlywed, not so much now. I can't justify parting with it, so I decided to re-do it!

The sanding and priming was HORRIBLE! But I think overall, it turned out cute! I could probably live with it for another 8 years!

Primary Program

So cute! Addison was SO ready for her 1st Primary Program! Her part was, "My name is Addison, I know my Savior loves me." She got to go very first and said it PERFECTLY into the microphone. Grandma and Bunca came to watch along with Uncle Matt and Aunt Ashlee. Addison has been practicing her songs at church and in the car for for months. I wish I could have seen her face as she sang, but we were sitting up in the stands with our own primary class.....but we sure were proud from behind!

Addison

Ready for school!

Dragons Backpack (at least its not Spider-Man)

\

Feeling a little nervous......

Addison has been counting down the years that she could start school. She has a desk in her room where she does "homework", carries a backpack around everywhere, and loves to visit my classroom and play in the desks. This year, she finally could start pre-school so I brought her to my school so she could be there with me during the day. I had a small nervous breakdown when I realized that school was a horrible place with mean children that carried a lot of germs....but I shortly got over it when I saw what a great first day she had!

Each day I have made the effort to make her exceptionally "girly" in hopes to get her off on the right foot with friends. (She of course plays with the trucks and spiders when she gets the chance, but I can't expect overnight miracles.) I also pointed out to her that boy's underwear is not allowed in pre-school unless you're a boy!

I try to sneak down the hall when I have a chance and I have a few lower-grade teachers spying on her regularly......so far, she's doing great (unless Penny is lying to me.....)

Today in one of our meetings at school, we began by sharing "Celebrations". Stories were shared of student successes and accomplishments in different classrooms around the school. I "celebrated" the fact that the pre-school teachers haven't kicked Addison out yet.....she has only just begun!

She feels so cool going around school......She is still confused why Mr. Daybell is no longer "just Frank", she loves the big playground, coming to mommy's classroom after pre-school, hugging Miss Amren, waving at Robin and visiting the counselor at school, Mr. Adams, a.k.a. "Mr. Hairface, Frank's brother". She's getting so big!
