Update of Randomness...

It has been too long since I have been on here so I thought I would post a quick random update to catch up...

In the past few months we have been pretty busy...

Catching up...

Wow! It has been a while since I have been able to post on here. I came back to work on January 11th (following my wonderful 3 month maternity leave) and was quickly reminded that working full time leaves little time for much of anything else. So here is an update on the goings on in the Mock household for the past month or so...

First things first...Casey was offered a job as a Nuclear Engineer for a company in upstate New York!?! He will graduate this April and we will be moving across the country sometime in May. This job seems perfect for Casey, and even though it will be FREEZING for about 6 months out of the year and we will be far away from both our families we are really excited for the adventure and feel that we have been INCREDIBLY blessed. New York here we come!

Corbin is now over 3 months old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how much he is growing and changing all the time. Here are some things about Corbin now...

Corbin is a FANTASTIC sleeper. He slept straight through the night from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am when he was only 6 weeks and 1 day! I remember waking up that morning at 5:00 am and I was sure he had died during the night, but after frantically getting up to check on him and realizing he was fine...just sleeping...life has been wonderful. He has been a great sleeper ever since. It's amazing what a solid night sleep can do for you after not having one for so long. When I went back to work I think he got thrown off his schedule a little bit and would wake up once during the night for a week or two, but we are happy to report that he is back to his sleeping ways, sleeping 8-9 hours straight through the night, and mommy couldn't be happier!

Corbin LOVES his bath time. He laughs hysterically any time we get him in his tub. Here is a video of him laughing in the bath that is too cute not to post.



Corbin likes making his presence known. His coos and squeeks and squeals are even more adorable because he is smiling through it all. One of my favorite things to do is sit with my legs up on the couch and put him on my legs so our faces are super close and just talk and laugh back and forth. We love our happy baby!

Overall we are doing great and are just trying to enjoy these next few months of lasts. Casey's last semester...my last few weeks at work...and our last time living in Utah.

Blessing Day

Our little man was blessed in church this past Sunday...January 3, 2010. He was blessed by his dad and many of Corbin's friends and family were able to be there. Casey did a great job and Corbin was awake but perfectly quiet through the entire blessing.

Corbin was blessed with these things:

~A personal relationship with his Heavenly Father
~A testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
~Health and strength
~To listen to his mother and father as they guide in righteousness
~Understanding of the atonement
~To be a knowledgeable and understanding person
~Teach what he knows and be a beacon to others
~Serve a mission for the Lord
~Marry a woman who will help him return to live with Heavenly Father
~To strive to improve each day

Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe it is already 2010! It seems like it wasn't too long ago that the world had its panties in a twist worrying about Y2K. But here it is...10 years later...10 years older...for better or worse. This year I decided one of my New Years resolutions would be to start this blog. I have had several people tell me I should start one and have been thinking about it for a while, so I am finally giving in. With some of our family so far away it will be a good way to keep them posted on what is going on in our lives. I am not the most computer savvy or the best at keeping in touch with friends and family, so idealy this blog will help me remedy both. Hopefully the random updates from our lives will be enjoyed. So here I go!!

Here is a quick recap of 2009:

~We found out we were going to have a baby


Here I am just a week or so before Corbin was born...Yikes!

~Casey and I both turned 24

~Casey spent the summer in Amarillo, TX completing an internship with the oil company BP while I stayed in Utah to work. But I did get to go down for a long visit.


This is us in a freakishly huge rocking chair at a restaurant in Amarillo called 'The Big Texan' famous for its 72 oz steak. If you can eat all 72 oz (plus a baked potato, salad and side of shrimp) in one hour you get it for free. Impossible you say?? I thought so too, but we saw not one...not two...but four people finish the entire thing in just the few hours we were there. Don't ever say something can't be done I guess...it may be disgusting but it can be done.



And here we are at Cadillac Ranch. Just a random field in Amarillo where some rich farmer decided to plant 10 Cadillacs into the ground for the world to spray paint. We couldn't spend time in Amarillo without making our mark!

and most important of all...

~We had our beautiful baby boy...Corbin Leo Mock on October 16




He weighed 6 lbs 2 oz and was 18.5 inches long


Here he is just minutes after he was born.


And here he is all cleaned up.


His first bath at home.


Almost 2 weeks old.


Here's the three of us on Halloween...Corbin was our little football.


And here is Corbin more recently showing off his adorable smile.

2009 was a great year for us and we are excited to see what 2010 has in store!
