Mackay Madness: Easton's new "big boy" haircut

Easton's new "big boy" haircut

Easton got his first real haircut and he looks like a little boy now...not a little baby!!!! I wasn't ready for the big cut yet, but people were starting to call him a "cute little girl" because of his curls and long eyelashes. So there you have it!
P.S. He is so big that he got out of his crib on his own yesterday. I woke up to a "thud" and low and behold here comes "E" with binkie in mouth and blanket in hand, grinning from ear to ear. This happened every time I put him down for a nap too...my life is over! No more going to the bathroom or showering in private. I will forever have to keep the door open so he won't escape from the house! I think we may purchase a tent to go over his bed because if you all remember, Chance did the same thing when he was just one year old, and he ended up breaking his leg! Where did these monkey's come from???

jenn said...: Oh, he looks so handsome! I'm so sad for you that he is climbing out of his crib already. I think that might be some kind of record. I say a definite YES to the tent.; June 3, 2008 at 10:04 PM
schaars said...: Oh he looks so cute. When is his Bday again I know him and Sienna are really close in age. I would die if Sienna started crawling out of her crib good luck with that!!!! I would have to agree a tent is a good idea that would be so sad if he broke his leg like Chance I bet that was traumatic!; June 5, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Wendi said...: Cute haircut...I have seen some pretty inventive things to prevent an overanxious toddler from escaping the crib. Obviously, he is "all-boy" which eliminates any special request for fancy princess bed netting! Phew!; June 5, 2008 at 12:51 PM
Amy said...: He just couldn't be cuter! I love the fro-hawk! I'll call you tomorrow, and tell you all about AZ; June 7, 2008 at 2:43 PM
Lisa Erskine said...: I'm a little behind...but I've been looking at all your cute posts. Oh my, on your poopy day! Wow! That looked like a lot of fun to clean up! Luckily, none of my kids have ever done that...yet! I'll be back to posting soon...I've just had a crazy few weeks! :); June 8, 2008 at 2:22 PM

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
