Cuties!

I couldn't resist to take pictures of my cute boys before we left for a birthday party and reception. They kind of cooperated for three pictures and then they were done.
I wish Canon would have smiled, it would have made it perfect.

Countertop + Tooth = Chipped tooth

Everson smacked his teeth on our kitchen counter and chipped one of his front teeth. So, I called the wonderful dental office and scheduled an appt. to fix his precious little tooth the next day.
I was very nervous about how Everson would do in the dental chair. He did a great job. The only part he didn't like was lying down in the chair so the wonderful dentist, Dr. Uncle Greg Atack, let Everson sit up while he fixed his tooth. The entire staff was so great and made Everson's first visit to the dentist a good one.
Voila!

Bath Time!

Just having fun in the tub.
This is Canon's new face that he gives us when we tell him to smile.
Everson smiling like Canon.

The Chair

Everson was sitting in the chair and Canon wanted to join. He was a good sport and let Canon sit on his lap.
Then Everson wanted to switch places. Canon wasn't too thrilled, but went along with it.
It all ended well with a cute hug! The two of them can be so cute and nice to each other sometimes.

Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!
Todd threw a blanket over the top of the structure and called it a fort. They loved it. Who knew a simple thing like that could keep them busy and happy for a while!
Canon, just kicking back eating a graham cracker. What a life!

He's growing up so fast!

You're wrong, I didn't mean Everson or Canon, I mean Todd. Yes, you read it right, Todd! He officially is a "normal" working man. Ever since we have been married Todd has worked from home. So, we have been around each other 24/7 for the past almost 7 years. Some say they couldn't be around there hubby that much, but it worked out great for us. The boys have also loved it. Having Daddy come upstairs to take a five minute break here and there throughout the day makes the boys so excited. Todd has had the luxury of never having to commute to work in horrible traffic and being able to see his boys throughout the day. We have all been spoiled.
Well, the time has come where Todd has grown into a real adult and now works out of the house.

He has done an amazing job working so hard on making the business grow. It has grown big enough to where our garage is not big enough to support all the work he has. So, the business has now been moved to a new location which makes him have to drive through traffic, pack a lunch, and spend less time with us, his family. We knew this day would come and we are excited that the business has gotten big enough to make this big move, but we sure are going to miss Daddy during the day!
Today was his first day working out of the house. Everson asked so many times where Daddy was and if he could go see him. He didn't seem that sad, just more confused because before when I said Daddy was working he would march downstairs, open the door to the garage and see his Daddy. It is a little different now, but it is cute to see how excited the boys are when Daddy's get home.

Being the blogging nerd that I am I had to take pictures of Todd's first day of work out of the house just so I could blog about it and of course have a picture of this day!
If I wasn't already a nerd for taking the picture inside the house, I ran outside and snapped a picture of Todd driving off. As you can tell by the look on his face in the picture he thought I was a little bit ridiculous. Oh well!

After Everson asked me for the millionth time where Daddy was I thought it would be cute to write a little not, have the boys hold it while I took a picture of them and email it to Todd at work. Everson did a good job holding it still for the camera.
When I put Canon on the couch next to Everson he immediately grabbed the picture and crumpled it up against his body. Many attempts were made to help him hold up the note, but all we got were tears and a death grip on the paper. It was worth a shot.

A nice Sunday evening

The weather was so pretty out so we decided to take a nice walk up to the rec center in our neighborhood. Everson and Canon had so much fun swinging and going down the slides! It was so nice to be outside enjoying the nice day.

Is it summer yet?

Our boys think it is already summer. All they wanted to do is play with water today, wearing nothing but underwear (until it got wet of course) or a diaper. They played out on the deck for about 30 minutes today until it was time for dinner. They were laughing at each other, getting everything including themselves wet and just running around. We can't wait until summer so we can do this every day!

This is by far Everson's most favorite thing to do outside! PEE!

Nursery Miracle

Everson did amazing in nursery today! Todd dropped him off, Everson cried for 5 minutes but then was totally fine for the rest of the time! HORRAY!! Canon goes into nursery the first Sunday in July. Let's hope he is just fine since his older brother is in there.

Kooza

We went and saw Cirque du Soleil's Kooza today and it was awesome! Everson watched in amazement and confusion. He didn't know what to expect and what exactly was going on. One thing he did know was that he did NOT like how loud the music was. We fixed that by covering his ears when it got too loud. Everson seemed a little more interested in the second half of the show. Maybe because now he understood a little bit more of what to expect. He pointed to things, asked questions, clapped and was in awe of the of the things he was seeing. It was so cute seeing his little eyes race from one part of the stage to the next trying to take it all in. At the very end when all the performers came on stage, Everson didn't stop waving at them and clapping for them. We couldn't have asked for him to have behaved any better. He was great!

He was very excited that he got his very own ticket. Of course Buzz Lightyear joined us in the fun (see Everson's left hand).
We didn't think Canon would enjoy the show so we left him own in the hands of Aunt Carin and cousin Kyrie. He had so much fun and didn't even care we were gone. I was expecting a big smile or him to run to me when we got home, but all I got was a look over his shoulder than back to eating he went. Usually he is a Mama's boy, but sometimes he is far from one.

Kyrie and Canon sitting on the couch drinking milk right after Canon got up from his nap. He is not always the happiest little guy when he wakes up but he is still so cute. Proof in below pictures!

Nursery Success

Everson stayed in nursery all by himself today. Sadly, he did cry for the first hour and a half on and off. The nursery leaders were great and by the last 30 minutes he was playing and having fun with the rest of the kids! Let's hope this is a good sign and things just get better from here!
