Veteran's Day

Corbin had a Veteran's Day program, it was really cute. He was suppose to send a picture to
school of him and his hero, he chose his dad--how cute. They sang lots of songs, and had a big picutre show of all the kids with their hero's.

Corbin isn't much of a singer, he gets embarrassed really easy. I just happened to capture him, or it might just be him yawning--not sure.

How cute is Corbin, I just love him.

That is Haylie palmer, her parents are in Hawaii still but she is living in SL with her grandma. She comes down here quite a bit so we see her pretty often.; November 12, 2008 at 11:59 AM
scoot and sara said...: Corbin is a freakin stud. It bugs me that we live in Vegas and your kids are growing up so fast. It blows me away how much bigger they get each time we're there. Payton is going to be 11 for hell's sakes, how did that happen?; November 20, 2008 at 6:01 PM

Live by it

Here is a poem that was sent to me from a friend at work. It really makes you stop and think about what is important in life.

FAMILY
I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you."We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.But at home a different story is told, How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. "Move out of the way," I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said, " While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue." I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway." I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."FAMILY Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?
