First Time To Try Bubba

There are always some family dishes in every family that carry a tradition with them... not simply family recipes but they have a history, they are infamous and usually they are not really as good to those that marry into the family from which the dish sprang. Well Jason's family has a couple of dishes that seem to be revered. One that Ammon got to taste for the first time the other day was "Bubba." Bubba is really good and a treat when Nana makes some, it's basically a potato pancake that has been made in his family forever... they put applesauce on it and eat pounds of it at a time. There is a story that once their family was feasting on Bubba and Jason's dad & one of his uncles were full but wanted to eat more so they went out the front door and started running laps around his Nana's house to work up more appetite.... Jason was actually traded as a child to his Nana & Popo for weekends for trays of Bubba.

Ammon really liked it!

Lily's Baptism and BBQ

Well, a couple a weeks ago we had the opportunity to see Lilly get baptised and celebrate with a BBQ afterwards... It was a lot of fun and we got to hang out with friends we don't get to see very often and others we see more often and some we see all the time!! It was a great time, there is never a dull moment (or conversation) when you hang out the the McCorkles (even those "former McCorkles" see exhibit A ). Unfortunately we didn't take our camera, I know, no camera when we have a blog to keep updated!! What were we thinking?! Jason did have his camera phone but only took a couple of shots of Ammon on one of his new favorites... trampolines. We actually got Jason's trampoline back from his sister so Ammon is enjoying it in our backyard. Anyway... we enjoyed our Saturday at The Gov's!

Sneaky/Funny

We fed the missionaries tonight... Ammon didn't eat very well, new faces at the table made it hard for him to concentrate.

After they left with Jason I heard some rustling in one of the higher cabinets. I came into the kitchen to see that I left a cabinet open, a box of Club crackers lay open on the floor and the rustling had moved elsewhere.... I look over the counters and see that Ammon stole a bag of open Club crackers and was STUFFIN HIS FACE!!! It was so cute I couldn't get mad!! I just couldn't get my camera fast enough!

Ammon's Diet Has Been Great Lately.

Here are some of the most recent pics in our camera... we obviously need to re-evaluate this boy's diet!

Superhero Birthday Party!!

We had the funnest Superhero birthday party on Saturday for Kaden. When you walked in the door there was a "batcave" that the kiddos had to go into and don their capes. The "batcave" was actually a huge 7 person tent. But the kids didn't know the difference.....

The kids got to decorate their own superhero masks, fight villains, arrest villains, then watch them escape. Cake, ice cream, sprinklers, fun in the pool, pirate hats, swords & shields, and a batmobile pinata....whoooo. I'm tired just thinking about it again and I didn't even put it all together. You did a great job Jami and crew...

Here is the kiddos handcuffing the "villains" with toilet paper.. Ammon is younger than the rest of the boys but he still had so much fun, even tho he didn't quite have the patience when it came to decorating his mask...

Notice the capes... they had capes for all the superheros.. Hope even got a pink one!

Mamma and her superhero!

Playing in the Dog Food!

So I put on a video for Ammon so I could take a quick shower.... I got out and heard a strange noise! Wait... I recognize that sound... that is the sound of dog food pellets dribbling into the food tub. UGH!!! I could just imagine Ammon standing over the tub, elbow deep in the food, picking up handfuls and dropping them just having a grand time... how gross!! Dog food grosses me out, even the dry variety....

So I walk into the dining room and much to my surprise Ammon is not elbow deep outside the tub.... he is ankle deep INSIDE the tub!!! YUCK!!! He had managed not to spill even a morsel on the floor (that is a miracle) but he had dog food crumbs all over him, even on his cheeks....ICK. I couldn't believe it. I must have not closed the container all the way when I fed the dogs that morning. Needless to say, Ammon was taken straight to the bathtub after I got a blogworthy picture of course.

Breaking Dawn Release!!

Went to the Breaking Dawn release party at Barnes & Nobles... the Adult to teenie boppers ratio was probably 50 to 1, no lie!!

Enjoy the pics...

My heart belongs to Jason, my neck belongs to Edward.

Yeah we're cool!

Ammon's New Buddy

Ammon was in his crib...just woken up from a nap and I heard him in there talking to someone? I peeked in and he was pointing and talking to something high on the wall opposite the crib... what could it be?! Well, it was this teddy bear. The bear was Jason's when he was a little kid and it's been sitting on the shelf since before Ammon was born. He didn't notice it until the other day... now he carries it around everywhere he goes!!
