A Little Artist Named Evelyn

Evelyn has been drawing all the time lately. She will just sit and draw and draw and draw. I'm amazed at her creations! Here are a few:

This one is of me and Evelyn. I thought it was cute, but had a hard time getting a clear picture.

This is a whale.

Sugar and Spice...

IT'S A

We've had four marvelous years of sugar and spice and everything nice. We are excited to announce that we are adding some snips and snails and puppy dog tails!
A few people have asked if the girls will be able to handle a little boy, but the question I'm asking is, will the little boy be able to handle 2 older sisters?!
We are all very exited to add some pirate, cowboy, prince and whatever else costumes to the dress up box. Hannah also will be thrilled to have some one to play cars with her. She really has taken a liking to cars lately.
When we told Evelyn we were having a boy, she giggled and said baby boys are very cute!
Bring on the blue!!

Boy or Girl?

We want to know what you think we're having! If you want to vote, click here. I meant to post the poll to this blog, but it went to our other blog... opps! We find out on Thursday, so make sure you tell us before then by clicking here. Thanks!

Bradley the Radley!!

We are so glad that Ben's brother, Bradley, was able to come visit all of us here in Rexburg for a few days. He recently returned home from a mission to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Welcome home!

It didn't take long at all for the girls to absolutely adore him and take good care of him. Here Evelyn covered Brad up with the blanket and put the baby by him to keep him company. He said he was tired so she let him have a nap...kind of.
Hannah LOVED "Bad-LEEEE" and always wanted him to read stories to her.
For Family Home Evening, everyone kindly helped us build a very special scarecrow.

These girls LOVE Uncle Bradley!

We had a pretend camp out and roasted hot dogs, smores and starburst. Brad and Nellie caught a few frogs at the nearby river (don't worry, we didn't roast them too!).

Thanks for the visit Bradley! Welcome home!

Hannah and a Big Bed

It's been a big week for our girls. Evelyn went to preschool and Hannah moved up to a big bed. We will be needing the crib here in a few months, so we thought we would get her well adjusted before the baby comes.
Our friends let us borrow this toddler bed until we find a good price on a twin.
Hannah has loved her big bed. We're not sure she knows she can get out of it yet, but we'll keep it this way as long as we can!

This was the only mishap that we know about so far! She didn't seem to mind sleeping that way! Don't worry, we've since added some rails to keep her off the ground.

One of our biggest worries has been what Evelyn would do since they share a room. She has been really good and given Hannah her space, but every once in a while she will confess: "Don't worry Dad, I just got out of bed really quick and gave Hannah a very gentle kiss and went back to bed." Well, that's pretty sweet. We'll take those confessions any day!

Preschool!

It was a big day for us here at the Wyeth household. We got the girls up and made Evelyn her requested preschool shaped pancake with a bell. She was excited to have family prayer and hug and then she hopped right in the car to be on her way to preschool!

She was excited to wear her new purple shirt and she picked out the bow for her hair.

This is after Ben picked her up. There was alot of preschool traffic, so Hannah and I waited in the car. Evelyn really wanted to bring her backpack, even though there was nothing in it.

This is the little movie Ben took before school.

Evelyn told me that she and Ashton were very nice to eachother (a friend from Church). She said her favorite part was playing with the baby dolls. She also was so brave and held the gecko. Outside time was really fun for her as well as singing time and story time. Overall, a successful day at preschool! Way to go Evelyn!

The Verdict

I know you've all been waiting with baited breath to know what we found out at our doctors visit today. So here it is: it was a false alarm! There is a small cyst, some swollen scar tissue from my first two surgeries and a little thickened skin, but no tumors! The CT scan showed that I'm all clear (much to ours and the doctor's surprise). Thanks for all of the kind words, thoughts and prayers! Hip hip hooray for being tumor free!
