Weekly Randoms: Daddy's New Lens

Brian got a new super duper camera lens and just in the nick of time since Evan now runs the other way as soon as he sees the camera come out! Now we can observe and record his behavior while leaving him undisturbed in his natural habitat.
Just lounging around with his cars.
Dancing? Or maybe just stylishly walking.
Same Same. Green and Orange Lambos from Babee & Baba.
Reading with Aiden.
Daddy took this from inside the house! Oooooooh. Aaaaaaaah. This guy lives in the outside couch cushions each summer.
This was taken from the ground. Heh heh.

Snuggle Up

Evan goes down for his nap pretty easily on most days but today, after I said "Night Night" and left the room, he started fussing pretty hard so I went back in. He laid down and said, "Snugga Up, Mama", which is what we say to him as we tuck him in. Apparently, I had not tucked him in adequately enough the first time.
I took this video about 30 seconds after "Snuggle Up"...you can see he is already lights out and is hugging Big Bird. Peter Rabbit is buried under there somewhere and he has his Froggie throw blanket over his shoulder. The grand finale, covering it all up, is his Sesame Street blanket.
My thought as I was videoing this was, "Man! I would love to have this to look forward to everyday at 11:30!!"

Shades

Evan's incognito look that he sported in Target the other day. One of the gals who worked there thought he was a movie star ;) It is a common mistake people make with the Dude.Evan's new thing to do now is to talk to Daddy on the phone during the day. He will say, "Mama, phone" so I call Brian and hand the phone over. The conversation that I hear goes a little something like this:
E: "Haywo, Daddy"....."Uh huh"......"Yeah"......"Yeah"....."Yeah, Daddy"....."Ha ha ha ha"....."Bye Bye, Daddy"....."See Ya, Daddy".
It is pretty frigging cute!!!

Baba & Babee came to celebrate Daddy's 32nd birthday with us this weekend.
Evan enjoyed most of his meals this weekend out in restaurants or in Babee's lap.

Whoa. That's a lot of cream in that Oreo cookie.

On Sunday, we went to The Boulders for a birthday brunch. As you can see, Evan enjoyed some blackberries.

Cheese!
It is a little known fact that if you smear chocolate chips on your face and in your hair, the actual cookie that makes it into your mouth tastes significantly better. It also makes your mother crazy but I think that fact is well known.
Evan testing out Daddy's new headband. For those of you who play sports with Brian, I will make sure that pants accompany the headband.

Congratulations!

Congrats to the Wildes who welcomed another little lady, Piper Rose, to the family today!

Easter Weekend

Relaxing, playing with his Lego Elmo Police Car...thanks, Aunt Andie!

Evan is turning into quite the hoarder (oh no). He likes to pile everything he can find into his car and push it around. No homeless jokes, please.
Getting dressed for Round One Easter Egg Hunt. Evan, that is. Mama is quite obviously not dressed for anything other than housework.

"Uh....this is a super large egg."
After we picked up Grannie Annie and had lunch, we did Round Two in the back yard.
Holding up his prize for Daddy.

Yay! More Matchbox Cars! This Easter was apparently just as much for Daddy as it was for Evan.

Grannie Annie was the official egg opener.


We hope everyone had a happy Easter!

Random Weeklies

Being goofy in the tub.
Trying to swim in the tub. This was not fun as the parent and cleaner upper.
Evan got an owie at playgroup the other day. A random flying remote control caught him on the lip.
As you can see, he is way too cool to let an owie slow him down.
