Sorry i haven't posted in a while. Been busy and when I wasn't busy, just didn't have the energy. Thursday Grandaddy Mike, Kim, Easy, Haven and I went to see Disney on ice, and it was sooo cool. Haven and Easton loved it! Haven got to see her favorite characters and Easton loved the music. She is still talking about it every morning when she wakes up, and throughout every day too. Friday Haven had a Ho down at school, she got to dress up "country" and they had games and snacks and candy to take home. Yesterday we went to the State Fair in Raleigh, and that was fun too. It was very very crowded, so we didn't get to do a lot of stuff we usually do there, but Haven did get to hold chicks and ducks, and feed geese, and got all the junk food she wanted. Here are pics from the last couple weeks. There are lots in an attempt to make up for not posting.

Look at my big man riding on daddy's shoulders!

Aren't they too cute?

Haven and her cotton candy.

Haven holding a baby chick. (its asleep not dead) She reallllly liked the chicks, and only agreed to leave them, so she could tell Brent that she wanted one.

Brent and Haven feeding a goose crackers, at the state fair.

Easton trying to attack a big bowl of candy. Just another reminder that he is definitely my child.

She got a star painted on her face, and then did some face decorating of her own with a chocolate cupcake.

Haven and her teacher Ms. Tiffany.

Haven before the Ho down at school. I don't think i would mess with this cowgirl, she looks kinda mean!

Haven and her popcorn, that popcorn is still turning up in my house! grrrr.

Haven during the show. Look at that face! She was very concerned with what was happening with Mickey and Minnie!

Haven with her new toy at the show, she is definitely fascinated but I don't know that that makes it worth $20!!!

Haven at Disney on ice, right before the show started.

Easton with his new winter hat on.

He is under the impression that the king size bed is his and his alone. Who could argue with that face though?

Haven rockin out in Sams club with some electric drums. She can actually keep a beat too; must take after her dad.

You mean this isn't how I'm supposed to use a vacuum?

Easton after he got hold of one of Haven's cupcakes that she had already licked the frosting off of and left randomly in the house.

Haven and I made cupcakes for Grandma Melinda's bday, this is her after she decorated them.

this is what happened when Haven was left unattended with sprinkles.

Because I messed up before I added a pic of Haven and Brent dancing (for real this time)
And just cuz I felt left out, one of Haven and me dancing. I have skills, look at that dip!

Last week was a blur! Brent was in a wedding on Saturday so we had the rehearsal dinner in Wilmington on Thursday, and that was really nice. On Friday Easton had a doctors appt. and had to get shots. He weighed 20 lbs. and was 29 3/4 in long (that the 90%) so he is officially a big dude. He is also a busy dude. He is still not walking but he does cruise, he will stand without holding on to anything, he climbs onto everything (beds, couch, into cupboards). He also bites all the time. I have bruises on my shoulders from him, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Haven had a really good time at the wedding, there was a dessert bar and cake and a dance floor, that's all she needed. She danced with anyone that she could, strangers, family, the bride, and all by herself. Of course I have two days off from school this week and we are going to spend it home, because we all got sick this weekend.



Haven dancing with her Uncle Kyle
Haven and Kyle dancing (you were right mommy, i should have known! Brent would never wear bling bling in his ear like that)
Haven dancing by herself. (notice she is not wearing her new shoes)
We dress up petty well, eh?
Brent and I in front of the fish. (the wedding was at an a aquarium)

Oh did i forget to mention before that he can also climb into the bathtub? here's proof. If he can climb in, don't you think he should have to learn to take his clothes off first?
Easton loves Havens blanket, as soon as she gets it out he follows her around trying to steal it. This is her getting mauled because she is wrapped up in it.

Its been awhile since I have posted, been really busy. Had a major biology test and fairs to go to and Haven started school and all kinds of stuff.
Haven started a day school at a local church and she really liked it. She came home from school the first day singing bible songs and had painted pictures and had Cheetos, she was thrilled.
This is the prize Haven choose and the prize her and Easton fought over for the rest of the day.

Haven and Brent fishing for sharks! Haven was really more interested in the bubbles though.

Haven and I on a kiddie ride at the Cumberland county fair. She was scared so I had to ride with her, I was convinced the whole time I was going to break the thing. poor dragon.

This is how Haven eats corn on the cob. No hands, less mess.

Easy rockin the hawk.

Easton celebrating after getting into Graham crackers.

Easy trying to convince us he didn't need to go to bed yet.

Isn't she so pretty?

Haven wearing my sunglasses, showin me what they are supposed to look like.

Haven on a ride at the peanut festival. What a big girl. :-(
