Welcome to the COBBweb!!!

So, it all started with this:




Then it turned into this:

One tooth gone!!

He lost this tooth at about 8:30 in the morning while at school. The nurse gave him that cute tooth shaped container to keep his tooth in. We put them both under his pillow for the tooth fairy. She left him two dollars.


Then sometime around 3am (middle of the night) this happened. I didn't find out about it until about 6 or 7am as Evan just took it out and put it under his pillow.

The first top one to finally go. The tooth fairy didn't come until the next night for this tooth.


She left him two dollars again.


Finally we end up here. Three days later that last hanging tooth came out!! It was just hanging there for SO LONG we could wait for it to go.

Unfortunately, it came out while he was eating. The possibility is high that he swallowed that third tooth (we couldn't find it anywhere!!). So we left the tooth fairy a note, she wrote one back and still left Evan two dollars.

What did Evan do with his two dollars every day? Shared one with his brother. He figured since he had two Brayden might as well get one also!! I ended up putting most the money in his bank, but the thought was very nice, so the tooth fairy was pleased and didn't really care that two dollars might have been too much.

Now, we have to listen a little harder to understand the whistling sounds of our six year old. He loves having them gone.

Now onto number four. . .

The twins are now 10 months old!!! Look how big. Look how cute. We love them and can't believe so many months have already gone by!


This is Andrew in his Woody towel.



Addison in her opposite of Woody cowgirl towel.


This was the only way I could get her to hold still for this picture. . . with Evan's help. We absolutely LOVE this dress, I actually paid more than 10 dollars for it (which is way to high for a small item of clothing, but when it's so cute you bend the rule once in awhile!!).


Andrew is great at taking pictures. . . ok, great for about one pose then it's time to try to get the camera.


This is another really cute outfit on my daughter. Most things are cute on her, but this one is another favorite!


Another cute Andrew picture. He doesn't have that many "favorite" outfits, so I can't comment on his clothes as much. :)

Last but not least in the cute outfit catagory. This actually looks better with her brown shirt under, but it is still such a cute dress. It was on clearance on the summer rack, but with those fall colors and a long sleeve shirt it just became perfect for fall! Another one we love (and actually got cheap!!)


Andrew went to the garden with Dad to get a pepper for me to cook with. He decided it was for eating and gnawed on it for awhile. He has seven teeth now, and Addison still only has two. I did cut off some to cook with and gave him the rest. He ate some of it but mostly just liked something to gnaw on.


This is everyday traffic problems. I don't think they care if the other one is sitting on them or not, or crawling over them, or anything of the sort. They seem to not even react to it happening. It's really funny. They only get upset if there is no room for both of them on my lap. . . always room!

Can't believe they are growing so fast, but so happy at the same time! They feed themselves always and I always make sure it's food they can feed themselves. They love playing with their brothers, and love going places. They are really fun! Evan always says "thank you for our twins" in his prayers. They are really loved a lot!!! Happy 10 months!!

We went to our local Ellis Hollow Fair a couple of weeks back. They have cotton candy there, so we go. The kids like the little games they have to play, and they even got their faces painted. It was a fun time.


Twins got corn on the cob.



Our little tiger got cotton candy.



Brayden was pretty pleased with the result of his tiger. He thought he looked pretty cool.



He did a great job not moving and letting the girl paint on his face. I told him to just close his eyes and he did and it worked great!



Evan chose a pirate face paint. . . the girl wasn't as talented in art, but Evan liked it.



He was good and let her paint it on. I'm not sure if he would have liked the full face painting better or not as he is pretty timid about things he has no control over. He liked his and that was all that mattered.

Here is Evan on his first day of 1st grade. We were so excited to get to school that we forgot to take a picture until he got home!! I took him to school in the morning so we could find his class room together. He has a new teacher names Emily Graw. She likes them to call her Miss Emily. So far so good!! He seems to like it and did inform us that they don't have rest time in 1st grade. What a big kid! Good luck this year Evan!! Hope you have fun and learn a lot!

Just a few cute pictures of the cutest members of my family!!




Addison. . . so happy!



Like I said, so happy!!




Handsome Brayden (after his haircut!). He likes to have fun and play outside.




Evan's artwork. I think it's a great drawing of a T-Rex and a Stegosaurus, and of course on the top is his favorite, a pterodactyl. I thought it was pretty good!



Here is the tomatoes! Evan helped me with the first batch. He got to cut the big ones in half. . . it gave him something fun to do! We've done three batches this far, and now I'm debating what to make with the tomatoes next, salsa or stewed tomatoes. I'll probably do both in the end.

So, despite the rainy forecast we headed to the NY State Fair on Saturday. It turned out to be perfect weather and a great day for the fair!

The kids had a lot of fun doing all sorts of things. We walked around for a bit and then hit the rides first thing.


The bumper cars were their first choice. They had fun on them, but Brayden was to small to drive one by himself. It was cute watching them try to steer around the rink.



Addison was enjoying a nice snack during the ride part of the day. She's so cute. Her and Andrew just relax in the stroller and watch everything going on.


They both chose to go on these little dragons. They liked these too.


Evan in blue and Brayden in green. Those are their colors and it worked out perfect on this ride!!



Brayden wanted to ride this fire truck, so Josh rode with him. Evan chose to ride a roller coaster. . . we should have picked a different coaster because the one he rode was faster and more rickety than the other two choices. I'm sure he'll give it another try next time. Brayden and Josh had fun in this fire truck though, it went up and around in a circle.


After the rides we went to the 4H tent. They had a lot of fun little games for the kids like bean bag toss and horse shoes. They also got to be on this fake horse which was kinda fun for them. They won a ribbon and a silly band (despite my best efforts of them never owning such a thing, they go to this tent and win one as a prize!! aaaahhh!!). They had fun.



Here we are watching a dueling pirate diving show. Evan liked it ok.


Brayden, on the other hand, was asleep! Addison is still so cute!


Evan got to put his head in a cow in the dairy building. That was a fun building, lots of ice cream options!! Brayden still doesn't know that he slept through the ice cream treat. . . not going to tell him.


This is us leaving. Had to show that Brayden did wake up eventually! He was happy. We got to also see a circus, and the smallest horse EVER!, and got to eat food and cotton candy and funnel cake and ice cream, and whatever else we could think of. The kids had a really good time. We were there for seven hours, and it went by very smoothly. . . really thanks to the Dredge's (friends in our ward) for letting us borrow another double stroller which happens to be exactly like ours. We were a sight walking around the fair, but it was still fun!


This is a great video of the kids "milking" a "cow". Really it's water and a plastic cow, but it was cool for them anyway.



We will more than likely go back again next year. We love fairs. . . no, I mean we LOVE cotton candy so we LIKE fairs!! Good times!!

All the boys got haircuts this past week. Even Andrew. Here are some before and after of my handsome little one!
