Welcome Sweet Trevor!

We are so excited to welcome Trevor Lee Haarmann into our family.  He was born on Wednesday, April 10th.  He weighed in at 9 pounds, 5 ounces and was 21 1/4 inches long.  So far he has been a sweet easy baby, and we just love him!

 

The boys were so excited to meet Baby Trevor.  They absolutely adore him.  They love holding him, and giving him lots of kisses and hugs.  It's very sweet.

 Mama showed Dylan a picture of Scott, who was missing teeth at the time, holding his brother David, when David was born.  Dylan was so excited to get a similar picture! 

 

 I was trying to replicate a picture I saw on pinterest.  My heart is a little funky looking, but you get the idea.  :)

Dylan lost 2 teeth!

 It was a big week in our house.  Dylan lost his first tooth!  He was actually more upset than he was excited at first.  We couldn't find the tooth that he lost, and then he was worried about eating and brushing his teeth.  I finally convinced him that it was exciting to lose your baby teeth and that the tooth fairy might leave a surprise.  So, we wrote the tooth fairy a note, and placed the note under his pillow.  Dylan was excited the next morning when he found $2 under his pillow!

 

Then just a couple of days later, he lost another tooth!  This time we had the tooth and he was excited to get more money!  He's so cute without his two bottom front teeth! 

 Jackson wanted in on the picture action too.  :)

My handsome little kindergarten boy!

Pucker Up Ladies!

How can you resist this face???

Apparently the little girls at school can't!  When I pick him up they all run over to say good bye and give him hugs AND kisses!  It's so cute, and he just loves it!

Pumpkins and Power Rangers!

The boys had fun carving their pumpkins.  I let them pick out their own designs.  I was a little sad that I didn't have a real 'jack-o-lantern' but we had some pretty cool bats and a fabulous superman design!  Jackson wasn't so sure about cleaning out the 'goop' at first, but then once he saw Dylan digging in, he decided to give it another try.  He was never thrilled if any of the pumpkin touched his skin, but he was happy to dig out some goop with a spoon.  :)

The finished products!

My cute power rangers on Halloween night!

After showing me their moves, I finally got some real smiles from them.  :)

Once again, after trick or treating, the boys had just as much handing out the candy to other kids.  We even had a group of kids that sang a Christmas song for us!  They weren't in Christmas costumes, so it was a little strange, but I guess they chose that over a joke.  It worked, I gave them extra candy.  :)

We hope everyone had a fun, safe and Happy Halloween!

Leaves!

We had a fun fall evening hanging out at Mimi and Gpa's house.  Gpa made sure there was a nice big pile of leaves for all the kids to play in.  And the kids made sure that Gpa's nice big pile of leaves was spread out all over the yard before they went home!  They had a blast!

Sweet little baby Ashley.

Pre Halloween Fun!

Saturday was a busy day for us!  We started out the evening at the annual Brueckmann Halloween bash!  It's always lots of fun to see all the kids dressed up in their costumes!  

There's always fun games for the kids to do as well.  This one was a real hit...doughnuts are always a hit!  You had to try to eat the doughnut off the fork without using your hands!  Turns out, Jackson's a bit of a cheater!  Never get in the way of the Gold Power Ranger when it comes to his doughnuts!

 Dylan did a good job though!

Wade, Wes, Maddie, Dylan and Jackson.

 After the Brueckmann's party we went Trunk or Treating at St. Paul's.  We met Dylan's friend, Grant the duck hunter, there.  We've done the Trunk or Treating for a few years now, but it extra fun this year to watch Dylan interact with all the kids that he goes to school with!  The boys don't even say hi to each other, they just start sword fighting, or karate kicking each other.  I guess that's their own language!

 Jackson caught on to the idea VERY quickly and had a blast.  As soon as we were done though, he kept asking, "Go?"  We had one tired and cold power ranger on our hands!

 Boys being silly!
