Happy Birthday Corbett!

It's a little past Corbett's birthday but I haven't had Internet since he had his 4 year birthday so I hope I can remember all the fun! He got spoiled, it seems like that always happens. The Friday before his birthday Grandma & Grandpa Sorensen came to town. They gave him a few presents he could open early that evening. Here's Corbett with his grandpa Sorensen.The next morning Kiel and Jen arrived with their kids. We all headed to the ski hill. Before we left we had him open his much anticipated ski poles. That was all he wanted for his birthday really. Jen, Cody, Corbett, & Kim all skied/snowboarded and the rest of us hung out in the lodge and watched them come down the mountain every so often. It was a GREAT time! We came home and went to Firehouse for dinner. After dinner we had some brownies and icecream and sang to Corbett. He opened up a few more presents (yes the presents just kept coming!). Kim & Susan headed home and we played some games with Kiel & Jen and then they also headed home. It was a lot of fun! Unfortunately I had messed with the settings on my camera (I'm taking a photography class) and most of my pictures from the party didn't turn out.
Sunday was his actual birthday. He was so excited they sang to him in primary. He thinks they "picked" him finally. He's been raising his hand every chance he gets just to be picked (he's that kid). After church we let him open a gift from us. It was a Buzz Lightyear, only I accidentally pushed a button through the wrapping and Buzz started talking so Corbett immediately knew what it was. He was so excited!
That evening my family came. Corbett wanted a superhero birthday so I told my family to have their young kids dress up as superheroes. For Corbett's birthday I made him a batman/superman cape. Most of my siblings have them from years ago but Corbett didn't have one yet. I was pretty proud of my sewing!Flying superheroes! (Corbett, Carson, & Ryan)Superman and Lois Lane! (My cute niece Sarah and nephew Anhder)It was quite interesting to say the least. Some adults came as superheroes, one child came as a football player (he must have thought it was a Halloween party). At any rate Corbett was happy with his party. I even made him a Batman cake! So that was fun too! The party didn't stop there...on Monday my mom & dad came to take Corbett to lunch. My mom takes all the grandkids to lunch for their birthdays & it turned out my dad could make it too. We're amazed he is already 4 years old. We love him so much, he brings so much joy to Cody and I.
A few things about Corbett:
Food: Corbett likes water A LOT! No matter what the other choice is chances are he'll pick water to drink! He eats a lot of different foods. He likes candy (don't know where he got that, wink wink). He likes french fries and cheetos!
Toys: He loves to play with dinosaurs, cars, superheroes, lincoln logs, and play dough.
Clothes: He loves to wear a shirt with a superhero on it or a jersey for a sport. He loves his transformer pajamas, batman and superman pj's (which are WAY too small).
Personality: Corbett's a pretty serious kid. He's smart and catching on to things quickly. He has a great memory. I'm always told he is NOT normal by my family because he is so clean and not destructive. (they're all rooting for my twins to turn my house upside down!) He tells me he loves me constantly. He says the cutest prayers and prays for us to "have a great family all the time" at least 5 times at night. He's sensitive, very concerned when a bad guy is on his show and so happy when the hero saves the day. He loves to wrestle with Cody and gives me lots of loves. (he's planning to marry me) He's excited for the babies, but doesn't fully understand what's about to happen to his attention! He likes to pretend he has dogs in his tummy like I have babies in mine. I was using it against him to get him to eat healthy foods, i.e. "my babies need a carrot" and of course his dogs suddenly need a carrot too. That backfired though because now his dogs will randomly "need" candy or cookies. He's definitely unique!

You have been busy! That picture of Corbett by the brownies looks a LOT like Zach.
