Another haircut!

Little dude was overdue for a haircut so today was the day to get it done!  I think he looks a little California surfer!  Still doesn't mind getting his hair cut when he get to sit in and drive a little car AND watch Lightening McQueen.  Lucky boy!


We noticed Evan got his bottom right first molar a few weeks ago around 5/18 and it just finally finished coming all the way through.  He is up to 11 teeth!


I totally forgot to mention, to cement the fact that he is becoming a big boy, he ditched his binky at the end of April.  Pretty much did it on his own and it wasn't painful at all!  One night as I was putting him to bed he didn't ask for it, so I didn't give it to him!  That was it!  It was so surprising for us considering he was a binky addict and I'm pretty sure he would have had it at all times if he could.  How is he almost 2?!?!

A new tooth

We noticed little man sprouted a new tooth yesterday and is now up to 10 teeth!  It was his lower left lateral incisor and it seems as though my kiddos are late teethers.  :)

Chomper check

Brynn had her first visit with the dentist today!  She did such a good job and listened to everything the hygienist told her.  I was worried she would freak out, so we read books about going to the dentist beforehand and she did great!  She was thrilled with her new toothbrush and even more excited that she got to pick something from the surprise drawer {you know, that drawer of 10 cent toys that make the kids go crazy!}  Best part was NO cavities!!!!!

After her cleaning and waiting to see the Dentist.

Random Pictures...

Sorry we have been MIA lately.  The whole packing and moving and unpacking thing has been keeping us quite busy!  So just a quick fly by with some cell phone pictures.

Taking a break from moving and listening to Aunt Kiki's iPod.

 Moving wore him out!

 Her too!

 Brynn has been obsessed with Rocky lately.  Always wants him to sit in her lap!

 Silly boy!

{On 2/25 I felt his top right first molar starting to come through.  He is now up to 9 teeth.}

 Playing outside

She works out.

She came up to me and said "They really heavy...I really strong!"

 Sissy wanted her not so little brother to sit in her lap.

 Working hard

Goofy guy!

Family Pics

We had some pictures taken at the end of the year...just never got around to posting them.  It was nice to actually get some pictures with ALL of us in them!

 Love this one of our princess!

 Evan cracks me up in this one!

 Our family!

My handsome little guy!

You bet some of these will be printed and hung around the house!

Both kids were sick with double ear infections this week...that was fun!  Multiple trips to the pediatrician and amoxicillin have made things better.   And on top of it Evan is cutting another tooth.  His upper right first molar...that makes number 8.

Christmastime

We have been busy doing Christmasy things over here in the Crayon house!  I love the holidays and love them even more watching it through the kids eyes.  They get so excited over the simplest of things!  

We started watching Christmas movies the day after Thanksgiving!  And we have gotten plenty of uses out of our Christmas jammies!

We have gone out to look at all the Christmas lights around the neighborhood complete with blankets and hot chocolate with mini marshmallows!  And we have driven through the neighborhoods with mega lights!

We've made Christmas cookies...

watched them bake and of course enjoyed eating them!

We rode the North Pole Express where we got to ride the train to the North Pole to pick up Santa!

 The kids wore their jammies, enjoyed chocolate milk and Christmas tree cookies, sang Christmas carols and got a visit from the big man himself.

{And my camera battery died so I didn't get too many pictures.  Boo!}

 Once we got back we waited to see Santa and we got "snowed" on!

And Brynn loooved Santa this year!  She told him that she wanted a dollhouse, shoes with sparkles on them and pretty dresses!  She is such a girly girl!

{Evan didn't want to go near anywhere near Santa!}

Santa even sent Brynn her own Christmas video that she LOVES to watch!  She gets so excited when she sees Santa with her pictures!  That's what we have been up to the last few weeks!  Just soaking in all the Christmas we can before the holiday season is over!  Only one week until Christmas, are you ready?

{Brynn started getting her back right 2nd molar on Monday {her 20th tooth} and Evan started getting his back left 1st molar on Tuesday {his 7th}.  Lots of teething going on right now!}

Trick-or-treat

Brynn was so beyond excited to go trick-or-treating this year {we all remember how last year turned out} and had been practicing her "frick or freats" all week.  She was very animated about her costume, knocking on the door and getting "Caaaaandy!"  Evan was pretty indifferent to the whole thing and as long as he could walk where ever he wanted, he was fine.  As you can imagine, Halloween night isn't the night to let him loose; at times we had a very unhappy Prince Charming.

Our little princess and her wand

 Our neighbors had a fog machine and they were both amazed with it!

A happy prince because he was free!!!

On the way to the next house

She was very good with knocking on doors.

Although, she sometimes got a little too aggressive and would knock 

until the person came to the door.

She remembered to say "Frick or Freat", "Thank You" 

and the occasional "Happy Halloween!"

When we got home they got to sample some of their candy and they both picked suckers.

I'm pretty sure Ev thought that this sucker was the best thing since milk!

And he looooves his milk.

The Crayon Crew

{Brynn as Cinderella, Evan as Prince Charming and Mason as Frankenstein}

Then we headed over to Matt and Anna's for a little bit.

By the time we took a picture it was late, so that's why Evan has a binky and a pink balloon and why Mason is doing his best Frankenstein impression. 

It was a great Halloween and Brynn is already looking forward to next year.

And as I was brushing Brynn's teeth before she went to bed I noticed her left top and bottom second molars are on their way through.  Just in time for all that candy.  
{That's tooth number 18 & 19}

Tooth numero six

 My loves!

Evan's top right lateral incisor finally decided to make an appearance today!  He is up to six teeth...before we know it he'll be eating steak or maybe he'll need some molars for that!  :)

The Show Me State {part 2}

 I told you this trampoline was a big hit!  Brynn even said "Bye-bye Paw Paw's trampoline" as we drove away!

 Lisa's brother is a fireman and was nice enough to give us a tour of the fire house!

Evan and Paw Paw enjoying the firetruck.

Brynn had just woke up from a 5 minute nap and let's just say she was less than thrilled to be there.  I think Scott was excited to be in the drivers seat!

 Kali and Brynn

{Brynn, Sammy, Brady and Brooke}
We went to a children's museum, The Magic House, and the kids had fun running around exploring together.  Brynn and Brooke had the best time dancing together in one of the dancing exhibits, it was so funny watching them dance around laughing and talking!  Too bad they don't live closer, I'm sure they would have a blast playing together all the time!

Cheese!

***********************************************

And in BIG news for Evan he started legitimately walking on September 6th!  He had been taking steps on his own for a few weeks but he finally figured it out!  BIG BOY!!!  {I feel bad, we tried videoing it while we were there and the camera died after it had been on for a second and we didn't take any pictures either!  So this picture is from when we got home.}

It was a big week for Evan, he also got his 5th tooth!  His top left lateral incisor finally poked through.  Speaking of teeth, while there I noticed that Brynn's bottom left 2nd molar was almost all the way through.  I have no idea when it started to come through, but she seemed to handle it like a champ!  So for those keeping track, she is now up to 17 teeth.
