Brooks' first day of school! WAHOO!

Well, this was an important day for our Brookster! So we tried to make it as special as we could. It started out with Brooks' favorite breakfast, Daddy's omelets.

He got to pick out which new shirt he wanted to wear his first day of school. He chose his Tony Hawk Hawaiian shirt. Jakes mom laughed when we told her that because Jake wore a PINK Hawaiian shirt for the first day of Kindergarten and first grade.

We made this day special for Dylan too. It's his first day of pre-school with Mommy!

They love each other SO much!

A Proud Daddy!

A proud Mommy!Brooks got to pick whatever backpack he wanted for kindergarten. He picked this GI Joe backpack that lights up!
His teacher is Mrs. Kershaw.

Brooks really surprised me. He wasn't nervous at all. My mom was giving him a pep talk the day before about feeling a little shy. And Brooks response was," I'm not going to be shy, I already saw a picture of her." So there you go!

His teacher seems PERFECT for Brooks. She is very soft spoken and well organized. Brooks had fun coloring a picture. ( We got to meet the teacher and hear about her curriculum and then we took him home.) The only thing that worried me was that there was a little boy sitting next to Brooks that had scissors and was trying to cut Brooks hair. He was saying." Your hair is TOO long." snip, snip! Needless to say, I told Brooks to stay away from him! ha!

Dylan wanted to get in on the action and was taking pictures of Brooks as he was coloring. Then, he introduced himself to Mrs.Kershaw. She thought he was one of the students until I told her that he just wanted to meet his big brothers teacher.

Then, we took the boys out to Olive Garden! It was a fun day!

Back to School PARTY!!!

I am going to warn you...there are a lot of pictures. This was such a fun day! We went over to my parents house to celebrate the start of school. There were some really cute decorations and activities.

Hripsime made some really cute ABC 123 sandwiches.

I made some really cute back to school cupcakes. It's a chalk board, a piece of chalk, and an apple.

The kids made their own pizzas. It was really funny because there were lots of things to put on their pizza. Noah was saying that he didn't like mushrooms. Hripsime said,"How do you know that you don't like it. You have never tried it." Dylan broke out into song. This is a video of the song our family sings when we don't want to try something. Its called, Try it, You'll like it! Of course he has to say, "Yeah" at the end of his song! He cracks me up!






Then, Me-ma put together a back to school treasure hunt! The kids are excited and ready with their bags.

My Mom did such a good job putting this treasure hunt together.There were so many cute riddles. I picked a few of the riddles to put on the blog. "this room is where you might watch TV or even, play the Wii."

The kids ran to the TV room! New books were waiting!

This one really made me laugh. "The hunt is at an end. This is the last clue. Go where you go when you have to poo." ha ha!

The kids were so excited to find little lunch boxes with cool new underwear and under shirt for school!

THANK YOU ME-MA!!! We love you!!!!



We also celebrated my sis-in-law, Hripsime's birthday!

We gave her some really cute jewelry.
My parent gave her those really cute bracelet watches you see everyone wear. SUPER CUTE!
Happy birthday Hripsime! We love you!

My cute family!

The kids with their Me-ma and Grandpa "Easter." If any of you wonder why they call them Me-ma and Grandpa Easter, its because one year for Easter they got an Easter bunny. We named him Easter. When they would ask which grandparents house we were going to, I would say,"The one with Easter. " and the kids would respond,"OH Me-ma Easter." The name stuck! Ha!

Ryann is finally big enough to fit in this CUTE dress that my Aunt Tassy gave her. Thanks Aunt Tassy!

Still posing!

We had such a great time today! Thanks Mom for putting this together! The kids had SO much fun. It made Brooks even more excited to start school tomorrow.

Ryann is 7 weeks!

Here is my cheetah girl! The whole cheetah obsession for me started when I was in college. I asked for a cheetah purse for Christmas. And the cheetah purse turned into my Christmas theme ...cheetah hat, gloves, crayons, purse, hairbands... It was kind of a joke. And LOOK at me now. I LOVE the whole cheetah print thing and now it has been passed now to my daughter. Look at what you helped create Mom and Mary!. ha ha!

Ryann has been smiling a lot. She has now slept through the night 3 nights in a row...knock on wood!!!

This is when she went to her Grandpa Binghams first Clearfield football game. He is the head football coach at Clearfield High. She was all decked out in green and white!

This is a cute picture of Ryann and her Grandpa Wright!

Here is a little video of Brooks and Dylan's baby voice that they use to talk to Ryann.

Brooks lost his first tooth!

My baby Brooks lost his first tooth yesterday. I cant believe how big this kid is getting. Here are a few pictures of my sweet little Brooks.

It all started with a loose tooth. We played a little game called ONE TWO THREE. Brooks counted to three and I would push on it. We heard a couple of pops! This tooth was hanging. Brooks then started pushing on the tooth with his tongue. By this time, he could feel the root of the tooth and Brooks pulled it out. It was so awesome cuz I got it all on video. I will try to post it later. My computer sucks and wont download it. But once he pulled it out, he saw the blood and started screaming,"Blood,blood, blood!" He is such s brave little guy! :)
This is Brooks with toilet paper in his mouth to take care of the blood. :)

The new and improved Brooks. Brooks realized after he pulled his tooth out that now, he can run faster, is stronger, smarted and nicer...his words. ha ha!
The tooth fairy took the tooth and left Brooks some money and some fairy dust. Brooks told me this morning that he saw the tooth fairy's shadow. "The reason why we cant see her is because she is so small and fast."

I caught Brooks doing a little ...I lost my tooth dance. I caught it on camera!
Brooks is getting so big. He lost a tooth, is going to Kindergarten, and is such a good big brother. He loves to burp Ryann.

Ryann loves him so much. He can always get her attention and make her smile. I am so proud of you Brooks. You are such a great young man! I love you bud!

Ryann is 6 weeks!

Ryann is 6 weeks old already! I cant believe it! She just gets cuter and cuter everyday. She started rolling over at 4 weeks. She is now starting to smile...which is the best. I am still waiting to catch it on camera!

This is one of my favorite dresses...thanks Becky!

My friend Alexis told me about these cute TINY snap clips. I found them at Walmart.

This girl is SO long!

I love how many chins she has. Doesn't quite have a neck yet! ha ha!

Still posing! That's my girl! :)
