Evan's FIrst Trip to the Dentist

Oh....a day that I have dreaded as much a taking Evan to get a haircut!

Evan's 1st time at the dentist!

We decided to have Evan's first dentist experience be at one that specializes in kids.

I figured that both Dave and I would be able to go in the room with him, but they only allowed one parent in...lucky me! I totally didn't know what to except from him and as usual Evan surprised me.

He let them take X-rays and clean his teeth like he had done it all before. The only time that he was really unhappy was when the actual dentist came in to look over his teeth...not a fan of that!

Overall, Evan did great and he has NO cavities!

They gave him a whole goodie bag after the cleaning too. It had a toothbrush, flavored floss, stickers, coloring pages, crayons and a toy car in it....I wish I got that after my cleaning. I'm lucky if they let me pick out my new toothbrush color!

Talk About Getting Old...

It is so hard for me to believe that on Saturday Evan will be 3 years old!

It seems like it was just yesterday that this little baby was just laying in his crib staring back at me...

now I can't get him to sit still :)

Pushing 30

As some of you may know....yesterday was my 29th birthday. YUCK.....29! Where did the last 12 years of my life go? I feel like I was 17 yesterday.

I can remember when I turned 18, I said to myself, "Only 22 more years until I am 40". At the time, it seemed like it would take forever. Now what seemed to be the blink of an eye...I'm married, have a house, 2 kids and mini van...HOLY COW!.... "Only 11 more years until I am 40" 

I started my day yesterday being able to sleep until 8am.....yes both kiddos slept until then!

Then I headed to a local salon to get a haircut, manicure and massage pedicure. 

After spending 2 of my last 3 birthdays in the hospital, this was all much deserved!

Then I came back home, changed and went to dinner.

Below are a few pictures of Dave and I with the boys before we headed out to dinner.

Stay tuned for my "30 things before I'm 30 list" too!

Connor's First Trip to Strong Museum

 On Saturday, we joined Aunt Denise, Uncle Dan and the girls at the Museum of Play.

Evan loved every minute of it...Connor will enjoy it more when he can walk....which will be very soon!

Daddy and Evan driving a car.

Connor had a turn too!

Evan learning to rock climb.

I tried to get a picture of all the kiddos together...

 and tried...

 and tired....no luck!

 Dave riding the train with all the kiddos.

 Connor taking a nap...too much excitement I guess.

 Cousins Abby and Angie with Evan.

 and a some-what decent picture of Dave and me.

 Farmer Evan...

 counting his cash...

 Evan and Mommy.

Cookie Decorating with Evan

On Thursday,  I finally decided it was our last chance to make some Christmas cookies.

So, I did the baking and frosting and Evan did the decorating.

As you can see Evan takes his job very seriously.

There was alot of finger licking going on and for some reason we ran out of M&Ms to put on the cookies because someone (Evan) was eating most of them.

Yummy!



Martha Stewart Wannabe?

This last week was quite a "crafty" one at the Moulton Home.

Evan and I worked on making some Christmas gifts for family. I can't show pictures or talk more about those though because they are gifts :)

I actually found some time to work on a little project for Evan's Room.

I have slowly been trying to change Evan's room theme from Dinosaurs to Cars, Trucks and Hairplanes (as he likes to call them).

So for under $3 total, I made the 2 frames below.

I painted wooden frames green, added scrapbooking paper with road signs to it. Then finished by adding an already painted dump truck and train to the center.

Evan loved them and he told me, "Mommy, good job"... I was pretty proud of myself!

We had a few Christmas parties to attend too. I was in the mood to try to make something different.

I have always wanted to make chocolate covered pretzel rods...so that's what I did.

So yummy and so easy!!

The hardest part was keeping Daddy and Evan out of the kitchen :)

Recent Random Pics...

We had a busy weekend, which means I had to slack on the blog a little :(
BUT I promise to make up for it this week....here are some random pics from the past week to hold you over!

Go "Elf" Yourself

Not having a good day?

Check out the link below for a good laugh at our expense.

Then go "elf" yourself! :)

The Moulton Family "Elf"ed

Oh What Fun It Is To...

get family pictures taken!

Ummm....not really, but it defiantly was a memorable experience.

Last Sunday, we put on our "Sunday Best" and went to JCPenny's. The boys were both in good moods and I was having a good hair day...so I had high hopes.

 I was wrong.

Evan wouldn't stay in one spot and after a few different poses Connor had enough as well.

I don't think that they came out bad, but we will try harder next year :)

Here are a few for your viewing pleasure...
