Getting ready for Christmas...

Well, time just keeps on flying! Evan turned 8 months old last week- it is hard to believe. We are working on getting the house ready for Christmas. It has been interesting to keep Evan and Beast away from the tree- they both love it (for different reasons of course). We went to the Rasmussen's house for Thanksgiving day-I would have a picture of Evan's adorable '1st Thanksgiving' bib, but he had an issue with some mashed potatoes, and we did not need a picture of the result. For the weekend, we went to Oklahoma to be with my Mom's side of the family, and were able to see a ton of family. It was a great weekend. We swapped services with the Green family, and did Christmas pictures, so here are a few that we came up with. Hope you are all having a fabulous and unstressed Christmas preparation.

Halloween...

Wow, time is flying. I sat down to update everything, and realized I never finished from the last time I was updating. Sorry- life happens. So, here are a few pictures of Evan from halloween. He was the cutest little bear ever. We also had a small group party where we dressed up, but sadly I don't have that picture on hand- you can look @ the Green's page to find it. Now to the pictures...

Evan and Zach had the same pumpkin shirt, so we wore them on Thursday.


Evan tasting and playing with a couple of pieces of Whitney & Aaron's pirate costumes.

And... the little bear with his pumpkins.

Visiting Family

We have seen several memebers of our family over the last few weeks. We went to see my parents in Grapeland a couple of weeks ago. One the way back, we were able to see my cousin Clint, and his daughter Emily. This was the first time that Emily has seen Evan, so she was pretty excited. Here are a couple of pictures of that trip.

Some cute videos!

As Evan is more able to do things, he is hilarious. I laugh everyday just watching him do new things, or do his version of what Page and I do. He is adorable!!

He is now a master-crawler, and Beast is definitely to be chased.



This is a funny face he makes, and lately he has started snorting and breathing really hard when he makes it. I cannot help but crack up!!

Evan update

Evan is all over the place now!! He is an expert crawler/sitter, and is now well on his way to master standing and pulling up. Here are some random pictures of he and Zach having some fun times at our house. (Zach is the little guy that I watch- he is the same age as Evan).

Sitting and playing

He used to kneel like this in bed, but now he just stands all the way up!!

Page and Evan in the bath- only Evan is in the buff- promise!!
