Gavins First Haircut!

This is Gavin just last fall, with no hair at all! For some reason this winter it just grew and grew and grew! So Finally....at nearly 3 years old....

                                                     Gavin had his first haircut EVER!
 Just to give you and idea of why I would cut it now, this is generally how he looks after a nap or in the morning, this was my battle every day!

Now do you blame me for cutting it! So we went to Cookie Cutters hair cutters for kids, I knew this was the only way he would let this happen.

He loved the play area!

These were all of our choices for cutting stations, he was so excited!

Here is the back of his hair before the cut, so long and lovely but so ready for a trim.

The side.

The front!

He was so excited to get into the police car but was not as thrilled with the cape. I think its so cute!

Well after a battle we just took off the cape and the shirt and he did so well!

Watching cartoons!

All done, What a big big boy! What a smile!

Well off we go with the free sucker and balloon, it was so much fun! Gavin was s champ and he looks much better!

Although on the sides all that hair was from the top of his head so he is a little bald on each side but thats ok, it will grow in....I hope!

Carson Graduates Preschool!

Here is the graduating class of Joy School Riverdale 2012! Carson's last year in preschool! Next year we are off to Kindergarten so this was bitter-sweet!

And the silly boys with silly faces!

Singing their songs, Carson did an amazing job! I was really worried because sometimes he really gets nervous in front of people and can have a panic attack but we really tried to prepare him, I even had people compliment me on how well he did, that he remembered all the words and sang so loud! I was so proud of him!

Little Gavi watching brother! He calls him his best brother!

Carson with his diploma!

Our attempt at a family picture, not going so well!

Our forced family picture, our boys look so happy!

Me and my little guy! I am so so proud of him. He has come a long long long way, he works so hard and tries so hard on everything he does. He loves music and he loves to be silly. He is super smart and loves asking about a billion questions about EVERYTHING! He is always willing to try and answer the questions in school, even if he is not sure what the answer is. He is super excited for Kindergarten! He has the best laugh and the sweetest spirit! He is kind and generous and makes friends so easily and loves to play with everyone. I could not be any more proud of this little guy!

Easter!

 Since our church was at 9am this year the Easter bunny had called and said he would just come during church rather than at night, he didn't want the kids distracted at church about the fun things he was going to leave. 

Carson found his basket behind the shed, he was so excited to see he got "gobbles" or goggles to the rest of us, cars, a pretend gun, water gun, bubbles and yummy goodies! Gavin found his basket behind a bush but could care less about anything but the train. He also got cars, bubbles, a water gun, and lots of treats!

It was such a fun Easter!

        

Easter party!

 This year Tarons' mom had a great Easter party! The kids had a blast. They first searched for eggs and candy in the back yard!

After their baskets were full they searched the front yard for a sack of goodies with an Easter plate, cup, and chocolate bunny!

All of the little cousins enjoyed playing and finding eggs. After the fun egg hunts the kids dyed eggs.

Carson was having a blast! This year was so fun because he loved it so much.

 Gavin was completely uniterested and we were almost done, finally Gavi saw a green egg and he went totally hands on....literally.....

It took 3 days to get all the dye off his hands but it was pretty cute! It was such a fun Easter party!

Big boy bed!

Well we finally did it, to be honest I have been dreading putting Gavin in a big bed, he was sleeping so good in his crib and I knew if I changed him into a big bed he would start getting up. Well one morning I just took the front of his crib off and that was that. To my surprise he slept the first 4-5 nights just fine. Then one night I woke up with him nicely snuggled under my chin, he had snuck into our bed. He is so quiet and small he just climbs in and we dont even notice. So now I am bribing him, he slept all night in his bed again last night for a treat this morning.  I am only hoping he needs to adjust a bit then he will be fine.

 His cute little bed and his brothers bed, I love that they have the same colors and theme, so cute!

New blog!

I will be keeping this blog, and hopefully actually blogging, but I have started a new blog all about our experiences with Carson and his diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder.

The Canyon!

Well all summer, every Sunday, we go up to Mantua and have dinner with family. Here is Gavin roasting his first mellow! Its so fun to get away and spend time with eachother!

By far this is Carsons favorite day of the week, he loves the canyon.

Ty, Deni, and Taron.

I love to get the kids out of the house and away from the TV, they love the canyon and cant wait to get there everytime, I cant wait until spring so we can start going again.

Police....

For preschool the police came to visit so the kids could learn all about being a police man and what they do! The officers were amazing with the kids, Carson loved it!

Gavin liked driving the car..

Carson just made car noises like he was in a high speed chase!

Carson loved asking questions, they let him talk over the loud speaker.

I told him this was the only time I had better ever see him in the back of a cop car...he didnt get it...

It was so much fun having the police come and visit, Carson and Gavin learned alot.
