Korbyn...almost 5 months old

So I wanted to post some newer pictures of Korbyn since, the last few posts he has been sleeping in his car seat! He is getting so much more alert, and playful, it is SO fun. I cannot believe how time flies...
But first...
Above is Korbyn at just 1 week old. And if you notice he is all stretched out on Justin's lap! I seriously look at this picture ALL the time and wonder where my little boy went, because he is huge now! He wouldn't fit like that anymore if you tried!! So cute, and wow he was skin and bones then!
 
Here is Korbyn all decked out in his BYU stuff, just ready for dad to get home to watch the game last week! He still has all that red hair! We aren't too sure exactly where it came from, but we do love it! And look at the cute chubby rolls on his legs! 

Isn't this outfit adorable, his auntie Dani got for him! It even came with the cutest ball and mit, that is velcro, so Justin can even play ball with his son!
Here he is above having some quality tummy time. If you look closely, you can see how big of a drooler he is!! HEHE

He loves his little play chair. It helps him sit up so well and see everything too!
And last, but definitely not least here he is in his high chair eating rice cereal and veggies! He absolutely LOVES eating food. We started him on solids about 3 weeks ago. We had some difficulty with the green beans, but he has loved everything else. Which only consists of peas, bananas, and as of today pears. He loves it all!

Our New Car & The Japanese Gardens...

So about a week and a half ago, Justin and I decided to go to the Gardens in Fort Worth. And we are so glad that we did. It was just nice to get out of the house and take a walk through nature. It really makes you think of all the beautiful things that Heavenly Father created for us to enjoy. So I hope you enjoy looking at our pictures of the fun we had that day!
Here we are at the Botanical Gardens. It was like a conservatory room rainforest. It was SO beautiful! 
There were so many exotic plants like this one. If you look close below, the red fruit was hanging from a cluster of bananas!
After the Botanical Gardens, we decided we would walk over to the Japanese Gardens, which were about a 15 minute walk. We are so glad that we did walk, because there was SO much to see on the way. Even though I got eaten alive by mosquitos! This is where the nature walk started... on this forest boardwalk below...

There was so much to see, especially little critters. Ones you wanted to see, and ones you didn't want to see! There were especially squirrels EVERYWHERE!!! 
And these beautiful butterflies were every where and would land right on you. It was crazy! 
Next was the Rose Gardens. Of course the roses weren't blooming in September like they do in May, but it was still pretty!
Then we finally made it to the Japanese Gardens! And if you look at the pictures below, you can see they were beautiful...

There were SO many fish in all the ponds, and they had fish food to buy so you could feed them. So of course Justin had to do it, and it was awesome. The fish were HUGE and they would stick their whole head out of the water and Justin would basically stick the food right into their mouths!
Gorgeous landscaping everywhere.... and what a sweet looking crane!



So this is our new car!! It was kind of tough for Justin to get a really good picture here in our parking lot, because of all the cars around it! But here she is! We LOVE it! At first we were just going to buy a piece of junk that would last us a year or two that Justin could drive to work. But everywhere we went all Justin was drawn to were SUVs! It is SO nice though, and it has ALL the amenities that we could ever dream of!
