Happy Birthday Mac-Attack

Happy Birthday to this handsome little stud!
 I can't believe he's 9!!!  Where on Earth has the time gone??!!  It feels like a few months ago that he joined our family.  
 He loves to be active in all sorts of ways!  Be it on his scooter or skateboard at the skatepark...
 Golfing his his dad and Pooch...
Snowboarding...
 Doing flips on a trampoline...
 And even shooting a BB gun at Bear Lake!
 I love this crazy firecracker of  a kid! 
 He wants to be like his dad more than I could ever say.  He's Coby's buddy at Jazz games...
 Mountain Biking...
 Hitting the slopes...
 But he's most known for being a goofball....and as you can see he has an admirer!
 And as much as Corbin teases Jaden (who coincidentally is flipping the camera off), they still snuggle like this most nights. 
 He's always willing to sit down and play with Cole...in between all the teasing!
 Jasmine has a special little place in his heart and he always finds her and rubs her little puppy ears!  She LOVES every second!
 This year for Corbin's birthday, he chose the present over the party.
 Coby find him a Samsung Tablet.  And he couldn't have been more thrilled!  ***YIPPEE....another electronic....*** 
 Since Cobe's and Corb's birthdays are only 3 days apart, they usually share a cake.  I didn't have a 9...so we had to improvise with a 7 and a couple of start candles!  :)  Corb was a little quicker at blowing his candles out and I couldn't seem to catch him blowing them out fast enough!

I sure love this Corb-Mac-a-Doodle!  He does a GREAT deal of teasing...but when he's not doing that, he's such a GREAT kid!  He's sensitive, kind, witty, funny, smart and very determined when puts his mind to something.  He does NOT like germs of any kind and is frequently washing his hands.  He won't drink or eat after anyone...which is smart, and also a little annoying!  He has a tender heart and does NOT like when I drop the occasional swear word.  He loves to read Diary of a Wimpy kid books.  He loves to play football and is constantly asking to play competitive football.  He is a natural at sports and they seem to come pretty easy for him.  He sometimes seems a little too focused on money and how much things cost or how much money he can earn by doing certain chores.  He usually spends his money before it's even in his hands, but is happy to share his profits with his little brothers and friends.  He HATES emptying the dishwasher more than any other job!  He likes to run and is always asking me to set up the treadmill.  He has the STINKIEST feet EVER!  He doesn't like to wear his winter coats and would rather wear basketball shorts and a hoodie.  He's GREAT in Math and spelling.   I always get compliments on how well behaved he is at other people's houses.  I was told by another mother that she overheard Corbin standing up for her son in a situation that he could have sat idly by.  That touched my heart.  When he cries...he tries his best not to show it by blinking alot.  He has such a HUGE heart.  He looks up to his dad more than anyone, loves golfing with his Poochie and misses his Poppy terribly.  I am sure Jim is proud of him.  Happy Birthday buddy!  We love you so much and hope that age 9 will bring about lots of fun and adventures!
