Happy 2nd Birthday Evan

On Sunday we celebrated Evan's 2nd Birthday. He got lots of different cars and trucks, a tool kit, a cool red and black stroller (because he loves pushing them around) and a nifty hat with a digger on it. Later that afternoon we had some people come over to grill and we got out the pool so the little ones could swim. I think that was best part of the day. He loved it! After some swimming, we had cookie cake. I didn't want a lot of decorations on it and when I went to pick up the cake it wasn't ready. They had to bake a new one! The lady said that she would decorate it with balloons and streamers and I thought that was great. She added a clown! I don't have a fear of clowns but I just don't like them. I was disappointed but she didn't charge me for any of it because we had to wait. Plus, the cake itself was cheaper and bigger because of their mistake. Whatever. I got pictures of the crazy clown and then we got rid of it. It was yummy!

It was a great day! I can't believe he's 2! He is such a big boy!

Weekend with Friends

Last weekend, my friend Jessica, her husband Art and daughter Laura came to visit. We had a really good time with them. The little ones played in the fountain downtown and ran around the park. Evan did most of the running and of course climbing. One night we were down there and there was going to be a movie on the lawn for kids. Chick-Fil-A must have been sponsoring it because there were several people dressed like cows. Evan wasn't too sure about the cows. He didn't cry but you could tell he was uncomfortable being around them. We got a few good pics of all of us together.

Where's the bed?

Evan has added to the collection! He even got the mower up there (with some help). I just don't get it but it's funny. Here's the new pile.

Hoarding

Evan sleeps with several animals in his bed. Today he went to a whole new level. He added three trucks, an empty milk jug and a 2 liter bottle. This is what his bed looked like after his nap. Crazy!

Our NH Trip

Evan and cousin Tiana.

Playing with Tiana. She would take his binky and give it back.

They also enjoyed chasing each other around the house.

Evan at the beach. The water was super cold

but he kept going back in!

Grammie got a Birthday cake for Evan.

Where's Evan?

Evan's bed here at Grammie's house doesn't have a bed rail so we put a chair (back of the chair) on one side and a bunch of pillows on the floor on the other side. I also put a pillow on top of the bed near the edge thinking it would keep him from falling off. He's been sleeping great in his bed. This morning, Eric and I went into Evan's room to check on him and he wasn't in the bed! So we looked around the pillows and in the room and couldn't find him! I finally found him half under the bed and half under the chair! He has never fallen out of bed before. We're not sure when it happened but it didn't seem to bother him. He came crawling out of his little sleeping place like it didn't happen. It was pretty funny! Poor thing!

Visit from Papa & GG

Eric's dad and grandma were recently here for a visit. Evan had a great time seeing them and playing. I got a couple good pictures of them with Evan and of course Evan is smiling really big for the camera! It's still quite hard to get his picture. He just won't sit still!
