March Madness

It's becoming a reoccurring theme...each month flies by faster than the next. We're busy for our little family and really enjoying it. Here's a few more things we were up to this March :)

Lawrence's First Trip to the Dentist

He did great and passed with flying colors ;)

We lived in a hotel for a week so our floors could be redone

Snuggles in the big bed 

Fun @ the Desert Museum

The weather was absolutely perfect for our week out of the house, so grateful for that!!!

First swim of the year :)

Fell out every night....

First time participating in a fundraiser called "Shine On Tucson"

The kiddos fill jars full of trinkets and a U of A sports team distributes them to the babes in the children's hospital

Evan's 2nd Birthday!

Our baby is officially TWO! and absolutely loving every second of it. His party was last week end and he's still talking about his Choo Choo. "Da my birday too too tain Mom?"   

We started the week long celebration with some simple decorations for him to wake up to that he was so excited about! 

The first thing he saw was his new rocking chair for GG (great grandma Agnes)  He was so proud to have one just like big brother!! Isn't that the cutest gift idea?

Then he opened some fun presents...look Choo Choos!!!

 After presents we had some big blueberry muffins with brother and daddy!

Later, we took a trip to ride the Zoo train!!

Then a lunch date followed by an ice cream treat!!

After naps, brother helped him make is own birthday cupcakes!

 YUM!!!

He loves working with "Your yes"   ...Lawrence

Then, he had fun making party favors for his birthday party!

It was a great day!!! We are so proud of our big 2 year old!! We love you Evan Michael!!

Pre- party time!!

On his Choo Choo with daddy

 Fun with his friends!!

Evan's ALMOST Two

So, he has no idea that he's not even three yet, but our little guy is turning two years old in less than a week!!!

still as messy as ever

 He is learning new tricks every week it seems.....

   Got his first little boy haircut.....teary eyes for Momma on this one! Not gonna lie, it was a little like getting the wind knocked out of me to see how big he looks!!!

I mean....LOOK at that face!!!

Look!!! toddler bed!!! yes, this means lots of late night partying and creative nap maneuvers from Momma ( not my first rodeo little man, sorry!) 

playing in his new "big boy" bed

ps....speaking of nap time meh-ham...  Just now was the most precious (after almost an hour) moment ever, ever, ever!!!  and you can bet a bujillion I soaked every last minute of it up with more teary eyes!!

I tried to get a pic, buy it's not light enough.....

So,  to get him to nap after several sad and unsuccessful attempts, I wrapped him up in a great big burrito blanket, just like when he was an infant. He was so tired  and completely non -resistant.   Then , I just rocked him in my arms, swaying and swinging to him like I used to. He stared at me for a little while and then eventually fell asleep, right in my arms..... 

I would absolutely take  a million more nap time/bedtime fights for just one more sweet little moment like that!

Evan is ALMOST two....
