Here we go again!

I think by now most of you know this....but numero tres is on the way!!  We are very thrilled to be expecting a third bundle of joy and to be completing our family.  I'm currently about 14 1/2 weeks {already in the 2nd trimester} and due October 23rd.  I had a handful of visits to the Dr., seen the baby on ultrasound about 4 times and we've heard the sweet little heartbeat; all confirming that everything is going well.

Brynn is sooo excited about the baby, she seems to switch between thinking it's a boy or girl...currently she thinks another little brother.  And I think Evan is going to be in for a big surprise come October.  Because, ya know, he's not quite 2 and doesn't quite grasp the concept of "a baby in Mommy's tummy" !  :)

And yes, this WILL be the final addition to our family!  This. Shop. Is. Closed!  Having three kids under 4 years old is our limit!  And if we are to be so blessed to have three healthy little ones to love and watch grow...what more could we ask for?

The picture is how we told our families, so it is a few weeks old, but they all got it and our very happy for us as well.  Oh, and I added a new ticker over on the right side!

Phone Pics

Just sharing some pictures from my phone, since I don't lug around the real camera everywhere we go.

 A few weeks ago we had a crawfish boil and Evan was busy inspecting him!

 Nice day = a long walk to run off some energy.

 Choo-choo at dance!

 Some one was sleepy.

 Water table fun in the sun!

 She was soooo excited about her pink nail polish!

 Little diva liked these sun glasses the best because they had pinkish colored lenses!

 Happy guy leaving a birthday party at the park.

 Blowing her party blower.

 Little Miss thought it was so fun to sit in the front seat while we were sitting in a parking garage.  We were waiting for little brother to finish up his nap.

 Faux hawk!

 Evan got some new kicks!

{I won't mention how small the shoes were we had been shoving his feet into.  Whoops!}

 While we were out, Brynn asked to get in the stroller AND asked me to lay the seat down.  She promptly fell asleep.  For someone who hardly ever naps these days, that was huge!!

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.  :)

Easter 2012

We hope everyone had a fabulous Easter and that the big bunny brought you some special treats!  We had a fairly laid back holiday.  Some of Scott's family came over in the morning and some in the afternoon, but it was a nice day!

First up though, we visited the Easter Bunny on Saturday.  Um, you can say it could have gone better!  I'm sure Evan will love this picture when he is older, homeboy just didn't dig the bunny!!  And the only reason Brynn begrudgingly sat on his lap was because she wanted to ride the carousel after.  Ha ha..oh well, there's always next year!

 Let's just take another moment to laugh at the poor little guy!!

{Sorry for the crummy picture of a picture, but you get the idea.}

 

She has been eying this phone for so long!  Every time we went to Target, she would come home and talk non-stop about the princess phone!  Luckily, the Easter Bunny is a cool guy and brought her one in her basket!

Little guy was satisfied with eggs, a new Spider-man coloring book, some new sippy cups and new binkies!  And they both got a new water table from the Easter Bunny.
 

After breakfast it was egg hunting time!  

Evan loaded up on the eggs and knew exactly what to do!

Mason finding eggs!

And Brynn finding her fair share!

Handsome little dudes!

Our little monkeys!!!  Love them!
{Evan started called me Mommy this week!  Gone are the days of Mama.}

Hope you had a beautiful day!

Dyeing Easter eggs

We decided yesterday was a good day to dye eggs!  The kids were so excited and could hardly wait while I set everything up!  Another year of egg dyeing in the books and it wasn't too messy!

Little hand

So happy!

Of course she puts her egg in the pink dye!

Hard at work!

So exciting waiting for the eggs to change!

Look at that sweet face!

{And those blue eyes and fingers}

Haha!  I'm not sure exactly what face this is.

Enjoying their hard work!

Actually, neither one of them really cared for the hard boiled eggs.

Little Goofball!

The many faces of Brynn!  This is what I get when I ask her to look at me and she knows I have the camera out.  Little Stinker!

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.

{She brought Jessie for moral support!}

Backyard fun!

 The kids love playing outside, obviously, what kid doesn't?  Brynn's favorite pastime outside is cruising around on her tricycle!  Lots of turns are required out there!

 Evan's favorite thing to do is play in the dirt and rocks!  He is such a boy!  :)

And when they team up they usually getting into some kind of trouble!

Three year well check

This morning we had Brynn's 3 year well check.  She did such a good job listening and letting the doctor check her over.  She is up to 29 pounds 2 ounces {34th %ile}, 37 inches {50th %ile} and they don't do head measurements anymore {we know where she falls on that anyway}.  :)  The little peanut is leveling out and her weight gain seems to be catching up to her height.  This was her first well check where she stood on the scale, got measured, had her blood pressure taken and had to wear a little paper gown just like the rest of us do. 

She did have to get one shot and did so well..until about 15 seconds AFTER the nurse took the needle out.  For some reason she decided that would be a good time to cry about it!

But overall she looks great and did an awesome job!

Three years old and Disneyland!

Brynn's birthday celebrations started the day before her birthday.  We were going to be up bright and early on her actual birthday in order to get to Disneyland at a decent time, so Sunday morning we cooked up some birthday pancakes!  You can't see from the picture, but there are sprinkles in the pancake and she thought that was so cool!  The candles were a big hit too!

Then we headed back upstairs to get dressed and go to Brynn's room for another fun surprise!  Her bedroom floor was covered in balloons!  The kids loved running around and playing, jumping and falling in the balloons!!

Big smiles!!

Gotta love static.  They thought it was hilarious to have the balloons

stick to them!

Later that afternoon, some of Scott's family came over for some birthday cake and presents!

The next morning it was off to the "Happiest Place on Earth!"  We did breakfast in the park and both kids were pretty skeptical of the characters.  Brynn loved seeing them and talking about them, but didn't want to get up to see them for the most part.  Evan wanted them all to keep their distance.  Oh well, in time I'm sure they will love them someday!

 Excited for Mickey waffles!  Yummy!

Minnie!

{I know she doesn't look thrilled, but she really liked meeting her!}

 Carousel time!

 Evan wasn't so sure about the horse, so Daddy had to ride with him.

    Brynn's friend, Hannah, joined us at the park.  They had so much fun!

The girls danced at the Royal Coronation Ceremony.  

They saw Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty!

{We didn't have the best vantage point, but Hannah is behind Brynn.}

 Brynn decided that The Jungle Cruise would be a good time to nap!

While she napped, Evan and I took a little spin in the teacups.  

He didn't know what to think about them!

Little brother got his own pair of Mickey ears!!

After this we took a break for dinner in Downtown Disney, where we meet up with some of my family.  Lots of loved ones out to celebrate our little sweetie's 3rd birthday with good food and cupcakes!  Then it was back to the park for fireworks and a few more rides.

 This was Evan after the firework show!  Poor little guy was exhausted!

With our birthday princess in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle!

{Evan was sleeping.  :( }

I always kick myself cause I don't take enough pictures throughout the day, but between the kids and the park being busy it just wasn't in the cards.  I wish we would've taken pictures in front of the castle before Evan fell asleep; I guess there is always next time!

Thanks to everyone who celebrated Brynn's birthday with us!  Lots of love to you all!!  {I can't believe my little girl is three already!}
