Evan talking to us yesterday - mostly yelling at Keiran and I

Hanging out on a Saturday night while Daddy is out of province working.

Pukey baby the second

So there's a video floating around of Keiran puking and now here's one of Evan for your viewing pleasure.

Sharky has 2 teeth!

Little Boo aka Sharky aka Evan now is the proud owner of two teeth! Front bottom for both. Those things are sharp!!! He is also desperately trying to crawl, farts up a storm, rolls everywhere, hates napping and smiles at everyone. How fun! He weighs 19 pounds now, no wonder our arms are getting tired.
Keiran weighs 38 pounds, he's gained almost 3 pounds since August. Boom!













Cannot get that kid to smile properly. It must be a toddlerism to line up cars and toys in lines, he does it all the time.












Cuteness at Grandma and Grandpa D's.












So cute! Came downstairs at Grandma and Grandpas to see why it was taking so long to put Evan to sleep and this is what I found. Awww!

Poor Evan just couldn't stay awake any longer when we were at a friends house today. His first time falling asleep while eating, so cute! Oh ya, little boo got his first chomper yesterday morning!

Keiran sings Raffi

We started listening to Raffis Christmas album two days ago and already Keiran has found a favorite song. It just happens to be the same one that was my favourite while growing up. :)

Ok I know this is totally bad, but Evan had to have a chest X-ray yesterday because of the rattle he has when he breathes and I took a picture of him in the contraption. It was either that or cry because my poor kiddo was in there. I figure when he gets bigger he'll het a kick out of the expression on his face. He was fine after about 30 seconds of crying. He actually did better than I thought he would.

Another test

I downloaded a blog app to my phone tonight so I will just post a quick note to see how well it works!

Here is a picture of the quilt I'm working on for Keiran for Christmas.





Cool, it seems to have worked. I'm making him a Bob the Builder quilt and that will be the front of it. I have all the squares cut so stay tuned for more pictures :)




Who is the handsomest boy around?! Yup, Mr K. Love that kid.




Because we don't want little boo to be left out....

Bronchitis

It has been an interesting week here.  Daddy has been gone on a work trip and I've had two little boys with bronchitis.  Thankfully, Grandpa D was able to come down for the week and help me out.  It's been fantastic!  Keiran is in heaven, he loves having Grandpa around.  Evan is full of smiles for him too.  So is Mommy!  lol
Thank you so much Grandpa!  And thanks to Grandma too for letting Grandpa come for the week.
So it's been fun having these sick, coughing, snotty kids around.  At least they are happy most of the time.  I think Keiran is starting to miss daycare though.  He'll go back next week.
Next week is a busy week, I'm actually volunteering to go back to work to play in a concert.  The music will be good, a good friend is hosting the concert session (it's at a music teachers conference) and my best friend is coming in from Winnipeg to play as well.  I am sooo excited!  But, I haven't played in months and the music is not easy so I'm a little worried about it.  I will have a few chances on monday and tuesday to practice though so hopefully I can work a few kinks out.  Still, soooo excited!
Tonight is friday Pizza night and it is now time for me to order said pizza.  We are going to carve pumpkins tonight and then go to some Halloween parties tomorrow.  Pictures to come!

Testing to see if I can update blog from phone.

Still around, promise!  Haven't been doing too much on the computer lately, just trying to make it through each day!  Anybody up for coming over to clean the house so we can lounge around and do nothing?!  Darn, didn't think so. 
Will post some more pictures soon, kids have been doing cute things.  Evan is loving everything Keiran does and could spend his whole day watching him play.  Somewhere I've got cute pictures of him doing this.
Both kids have colds right now so night time has been a little rough.  Brian and I aren't sleeping well and spend the day trying to catch up with things and wake up enough to play with the boys.  Evan ends up in our bed almost every night.  Little dude was nice enough to pee through his jammies and onto my side last night.  So thoughtful eh?
Keiran and I baked brownies yesterday while Evan was napping.  I got the recipe off another blog and think I will have to share it as it is yum.  It's already on facebook but I will put it here as well.  I'll link to the original blog too.

Kami's Dark Chocolate Brownies

1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cups granulated (white) sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
1 TBS vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9x13" pan (Metal is better than glass for these.).
Combine melted butter, white and brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly blended.

In separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter/sugar mixture until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly into greased pan.

Bake 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out almost clean (no liquid batter on the toothpick).
Cool completely before cutting.

Enjoy with a tall glass of ice cold milk! :)

Seriously good and rich!
Enjoy them.  And now Evan is fussing.  Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Baby Evan this morning!

I didn't mean to be gone from the blog for so long!  I've been trying to make an effort to blog a bit more but I guess life got in the way these past few weeks.
Brian and I decided quite a while ago that we only wanted two children and since my family is very fertile we really needed to make sure that 2 was all we had!  So, 2 days ago I had my tubes tied.  The surgery itself is fairly minor, I have two small incisions, and it was done laparoscopically.  I was able to go home the same day and recovery has been fine, I can already carry Evan around with no pain.  I have only had to take Advil for the few times I've had a bit of pain, no prob!  But, hot damn, waking up from the surgery sucked big time!  I really was sleepy and had a hard time waking up and then I could not keep anything down, including water, for the rest of the night.  Brian was really good though and he helped lots.  Dad and Penny came over to watch Evan and Wendy took Keiran to dance and then he had a sleepover with his little buddy Codie.  He had a lot of fun and wants to go back already. 
But, if I never have to have surgery again, it will be too soon!  I'm crossing my fingers that from now on I'll be super healthy because surgery sucks butt!!!

Her's my little cutie pie playing in his exersaucer.  He loves this thing and spends a lot of time in it, as long as I'm in the room with him!  As soon as he can't see me (or Daddy) he gets quite fussy.

All bundled up and ready to go for a walk on a chilly day

Big brother sporting his new winter hat.  Gotta love it when you take pictures as they are in the middle of saying Cheese!

Action shot of puddle jumping while we were at the park the other day.  Kids love puddles!

Keiran the cool dude

We took the kids to the tiny tot expo today and Keiran got his hair spiked and coloured green.  So cute!

Look at my big boy!  He`s carrying around his rat which is his favourite toy these days.

Who`s who

Our week

I have a sleeping baby in my arms right now so its a perfect time to add pictures from the past week!

Evan at the zoo on monday, what a cutie.

Keiran and Daddy riding the zoo train.

Keiran and Mommy doing paddle boats with Smokey and Patience.

The first time Keiran has actually sat all the way through a pony ride!

Big and little brother hanging out on the couch.

Cute face!

Evans first time playing in the exersaucer.

A sneak preview of Keirans Halloween costume.  Adorable.

Who's that baby in the mirror?  He loves this game!

Daddy reading to both boys.

Keiran loves the camera he got for his birthday!

Another one of Evans activities.

First time in the jolly jumper.  He likes it way more than Keiran did.

Keirans first Ukrainian dance day.  He was soooo cute.

The view from Keirans world

We got Keiran a camera for his birthday this year.  Not a kids camera, but a real, shockproof, waterproof camera!  We kinda got tired of him always wanting to use our camera every time we took a picture.  This way, when he gets bored of it, we'll have a decent second camera to use!  Can I say camera again?  Camera!!
Ok.  So, most of his pictures have his fingers in them, he took a few of my butt and some majorly unflattering pics of both Brian and I.  I won't post those.  I'll try and find a few cute ones to post.

We get a lot of these ones.  He's a big fan of doing this.  Ew, I just noticed the boogers in his nose.  Gross.  Oh well, I'm not taking it down!!!

Daddy while on Vancouver Island this summer.  He's not going to be happy when he sees I put this up.

So to make things even, I'll put up a picture he took of me.  I need to do more of this.  Sleep that is. 

I don't know how he managed to get this shot of Evan but it sure is cute!

I'd like to add more pictures but it is now bedtime so I'll have to try and come back in a few days.  Sleep is calling my name.
