A Camping we will go!

Over the weekend, the Kostusiak's invited us to go camping at Pedernales State Park. I actually enjoyed myself contrary to my mother and father in law both saying "Oh MacKenzie going camping? Thats an oximoron."


Here's the camping mansion we got to sleep in. It was about the size of a small VW bug inside...

It's the baby crew! Corbin's decked out in his 'Horns cap while Connor is givin' a shout out to the ladies.

Mommy and Corbin all snuggled up!

"This camping stuff sure is fun!"

Corbin's trying his best to throw up a Hook'Em 'Horns while we listen to the game on the radio. That or he's trying to shade himself while Mommy hogs all the shade... Geez Mommy!

Here's my boys after waking up! Daddy doesn't look tired at all! ;)

After a quick hike to the river, Mommy tries her skills at a professional creek shot of Daddy and Corbin. Nice shot Mommy!

And here we have Dave showing Connor the ways of being a man.

"Hmm, how the heck can you drink this stuff, Daddy??"

Introducing Morgan McKinley

My niece, Morgan McKinley Dunn, has arrived!

She was born Saturday morning October 4 at 9:19 a.m. weighing 7 lbs 15 oz and she is 19 1/2 inches long.

My sister Carrie is doing great! Jeff was so giddy when I talked to him on Saturday morning! A proud Daddy of his three girls! Payton and Reese love their little sister! I called my sister today and she said that Payton had asked Reese when she was getting close to Morgan if she had "fertilized" yet."(She meant to say sanitize! I love 5 year olds! They say the cutest things!)

The whole fam cannot wait to meet the newest addition to the Dunn family the week of Thanksgiving! We love her already, Carrie and Jeff! Give her huge kisses from her Aunt, Uncle, and cousin!

(Carrie, I wanted to add the cute pictures you sent from the hospital photo session but it wouldn't let me right click!)

Sick Day

I helped Mommy while she made cinnamon rolls...I played with my toys!

I played with Daddy!

I helped Mommy clean, while Daddy watched.

"Oh remote! Yes!"

Corbin has been battling a cold complete with cough and runny nose with an added ear infection since the weekend. Yesturday my Mom watched him but when I called her she told me that he was barely eating and that he wasn't himself. He needed his Mommy! He also wanted to nurse for comfort a lot before I left for work yesturday.

So today we stayed home so he could recouperate. I think he is almost 100% back to normal except he still has his cough so hopefully he will be going to back school tomorrow. He slept a lot today and just relaxed with Mommy and Daddy too (he came at lunch because his throat was bothering him from allergies.) If Corbin is anything like his Daddy (hes a mini Jason) we will have many sick days because of sore throats etc.

Spike!!!

"I am ready for Baby Gap commercials, Mommy!"

"Hey good lookin!'" (He just needs some gold chains around his neck!)

On Saturday morning, Jason was spiking his hair and he looked over at me and said "Lets spike Corbin's hair!" Let me just tell you our child looks pretty darn cute with a faux-hawk! Anet, my hairdresser, had lots of fun re-spiking it after it fell down when Corbin took a nap on the way to my hair appointment.

Duck, Duck, Goose!

This morning we went to Mimi's cafe and the arboretum duck pond with the Baker and Kostusiak families. We had a great time getting our boys together and of course had a great time with the adults as well. We really look forward to getting the boys together! We had a great time.

Corbin loved the geese and ducks!

Sawyer and Connor are checking out the ducks...Corbin would rather check out Daddy and the camera!

Super cute picture of Sawyer. "Hey whatcha got there?"

Corbin thought Minor was a fun junglejim! Corbin kept wanting to crawl over him to get to the grass!

"Hey Daddy!"Connor thought it would be fun to try and bite Corbin! Thank goodness he doesn't have teeth yet!
Connor was trying to "bully" Corbin and depants him!

"Hey Sawyer, I got your back man!" -ConnorMinor was the baby/Mommy protector and chased away a few geese! Too bad Jason didn't get video, it was hilarious in person! Minor was flapping his arms! Always fun times with the Baker's!
"Are we done taking pictures yet?" -Connor

By the way, on the way home from the duck pond we stopped at USA Baby and got Corbin a Britax Boulevard! Corbin was feeling sad that Sawyer and Connor are already in their big boy carseats! He had to join the ranks of the big boys as well!

Herb garden

I am a little slow at putting pictures onto our computer. Finally putting pictures of new herb garden that we planted last Saturday. Lets see how much of a green thumb the Ziaja's have!

Jason hard at work!

What a cutie in his hat! He still makes my heart melt! :)

My big strong man getting the ground all ready!

The rosemary plant that I planted! Please ignore the crispiness of our grass! Its basically dead!

All planted and ready to grow!

7 months of Joy

"Yes, I love sick days when I get to stay home with Mommy ALL DAY and have her all to myself."

Hehe I am hiding my new tooth! (sorry Iphone pics didn't come out too well)

Don't feed the lion, please! He's fierce!

We met Mimi today at the hair salon. WOO WOO Mimi, love your sassy short haircut!

Corbin is seven months today! I am still in shock at how quickly the time has flown by.

While I miss that sweet tiny little baby he once was... everyday with Corbin is a new adventure! Corbin has really blossomed into a sweet little boy (when hes not waking up his Mommy and Daddy at 4:45 a.m. almost daily!) Whenever we are in public he LOVES to get strangers attention. He will stare at them as if to say "Hello, cute baby over here, please pay attention to me!" He also likes to try out his new "roar" on strangers, especially at restaurants and the grocery store. We discovered this new noise last Thursday morning as I was getting ready for work and we had Corbin in the exasaucer. It has a lion on it that roars when you press the button and Corbin pressed it and then growled. Jason and I looked at each other and both said "Did he just roar?" Ever since then he LOVES to show everyone his new noise!

Corbin has a new found LOVE of Kylie, our dog. He just looks at her and starts going into hysterics. Kylie has been wonderful and patient with Corbin and has even endured a few many fur pullings. (I am sure a few of many thousands to come. Poor Kylie!) He also loves roaring at Kylie too!
