Cornett Update

We have had such an amazing summer and I can't believe it is over! We got to end our summer with a birthday party for Everett last weekend. Jeremy came up with a great theme for Everett's second birthday, a motocross party that was lime green and black. And Laci made us fantastic invitations to match! It turned out really great and Everett loved having all of his friends over to celebrate! Jeremy and I had a lot of fun planning this party.... we just love spoiling our little boy!
I can’t believe how much he has changed in the past few months. He weighs 26 pounds now and has gone from a baby to a little boy! He talks like crazy now and repeats everything we say and do. Lately his favorite thing to say is goodbye to everything before he takes a nap or leaves the house, “bye bye shoes, bye bye cow, bye bye choo choo.” He is so sweet and so well behaved. I feel so lucky to be his mom!

We opened his gifts a few days after his party because we didn't think he would be very interested. We were so wrong! He loved opening them and couldn't wait to play with each one!

Our cake turned out really great too...exactly what we wanted!

We rented this really great waterslide for the kids and they seemed to love it!

Our summer has been really busy, but so fun! Everett is lucky enough to have a few friends and family with pools, so we did a lot of swimming this year! We also did a lot of running through sprinklers and playing outside. He is such a great kid, but he sure has a lot of energy!

Things have been going great with my second pregnancy. I am 33 weeks now and I just can’t wait to meet our second son. I am going off of work 2 weeks from today and I am thrilled! I usually work about 3 12 hour shifts a week and Jeremy works the other 4 days, so I can’t wait to spend some extra time at home with Everett and Jeremy before the new baby comes. We are always so busy it will be nice to slow down a bit. We also still have a lot to do to prepare for this baby and it will be great to finally focus on that. I will be going back to work in February, so it will be really nice to have the entire holiday season off with my boys.

Jeremy has been really busy too. In addition to working, he has been training to run, bike, and swim a triathlon. The race is on September 25th in San Dimas and should be a lot of fun! Everett and I can’t wait to cheer him on. Then Jeremy also has an upcoming vacation to look forward to. Well, not really a vacation, but 6 weeks off of work to help out with the new baby. I am very happy that I will get so much help from him…I have a feeling I am going to need it! He is such a great dad and always so much help… I am so lucky to have him!
