FIRST HAIRCUT

It is a little dark but my mom is giving Mr. Nephi his first haircut with Daddy's help.

Crazy that he is over a year old and he has only gotten a trim after being born with lots of black hair.

POTTY TRAINED

 OVERDUE WITH MY NEWS....

CLAIRANA IS POTTY TRAINED!

We are now down to one in diapers again - THANK GOODNESS!

She has been without diapers for about a month now.

I wanted to wait till we had time off of work and daycare to actually dive into the challenge and she did perfect.

Two accidents and that was it. I put her in a diaper for the first night and after that she wanted nothing to do with diapers anymore - no accidents at nighttime - just loud notifications of having to go in the middle of the night that scare us to death.

Clairana

I am just falling completely in love with this lady all over again....well except for the temper but I am sure she gets that honest.

She has been having these full conversations with herself and playing mine and Levi's roles of asking and answering her own questions - adorable! She now is using her imagination and will bring us different colored birds or monsters.

Here is the best one so far....

Last night, we are sitting down to dinner and Clairana always wants to say the prayer alone now.
Here is how it went:

Heavenly Father thank you for food, thank you for mama and daddy, thank you for Nephi, thank you for my baby sister. Jesus Christ Amen.

BABY SISTER?? Levi and I choked and then laughed it off.

Crazy little lady. Funny thing is I have never heard her even say sister and she never calls Nephi baby brother.

I guess time will tell maybe this lady knows more than we do.

Cousins

Ms. Brittany came up from Tennessee to spend the holiday with her brothers

& we got to drop in and say hello on Monday.

She has Ms. Ruby who is almost two months younger than Nephi.

I remember her calling me to tell me she was pregnant right after we found out we were having a boy. Brittany was born to be a mama, she was always the mother goose so it comes very natural to her.

I love this lady so much - growing up we were the only girls for several years -

fighting off all those anry boys at family events.

Father Daughter - Shooting

Here is a picture from the Evans' Family Christmas party which included

Clairana learning how to shoot her first Nerf gun.
