These are The Days!

Oh man. 

When Brian saw these pictures, he immediately knew what my reaction had been when I put her in this suit/outfit.  And he was right.  I followed her around with the camera while congratulating myself.

 Enjoying a little time to herself at the water table before Evan woke up.

 Sharing snacks.

 Breaking out the water toys after a 4 month hiatus.

 Having a blast outside in his skivvies.

 We netted us some good ones!

 Headed in to the bath.  Until next time!

Sunday

Daddy and Hollan had a little photo shoot this morning while Evan and I went to the grocery store.

 So artsy.

Chocolate covered doughnuts.  And a destoyed white shirt.

This is what Bibs is going to look like when all her hair gets here.

Listening to the Curious George book from Grandpa Joe & DeeDee....and thinking of climbing onto the table.  Again.

 Helping Daddy repot a plant.

 The green thumbs.  We hope.

The Great Outdoors

The kids have been having a blast outside lately; going for walks, wagon rides, bike rides and playing in the backyard.

 Swoosh.

Amish Bibs is back!

 Dude.

 Parade.

 Dusk sky.

On Saturday we went to McDonald Ranch for Henry's going away party.  Henry's family is moving to Colorado in a couple weeks...boo hoo.
Hollan roped a steer.

The boys giggling over the pigs in the petting zoo.  The pigs were happily snorting and rooting in the dirt and it was HYSTERICAL. 

 Daddy and Bibs and the mini horse...neigh.

Evan in the bunny cage. 

 Feeding the goats.

 Driving the tractor.  Uncle Evan would be proud.

 Cowboy snack time. 

First Parent Teacher Conference

As far as parent teacher conferences go, I don't think you can top the one Brian and I had today with Evan's preschool teachers! We are hoping that we are setting a family precedent here...hint, hint, kids.

To sum it up, Evan is an exceptionally bright, VERY energetic kid who has a kind and empathetic nature. He is inquisitive, loves to ask and answer questions and loves to spell words on the magnetic board. He is one of the first to line up for recess (shocker) and loves to ride the bikes and give his buddies rides on the two seater bike.

I could go on and on but I will stop at the risk of losing blog readers :) Needless to add, Brian and I are incredibly proud, not only of Evan's love of learning but of his kind heart.

I am super close to being "that mom"...

Everyone Makes Mistakes

So, maybe the headbands were ill advised. She looks like Hans and Frans here. But still really cute.

Cars, Shoes & Headbands...Oh My!

Evan loved his light up shoes from BabeeBaba so much that he wouldn't wear anything else. I couldn't take any more brown shoes with black track pants so Evan got an early birthday present...more light up shoes!

Fashion crisis averted, right? Kind of. Evan immediately put on one shoe from each pair. Doh!

Under the tracks.

We're experimenting with head bands and rosettes. And let me just say that for the 30 seconds she will keep them on...dang, it is cute.

I can't stop laughing at these pics. I think this may be her Halloween costume.

"Come on! Squeeze those cheeseburgers outta those hips!"

Daddy and Brian went to the Barrett Jackson car show on Saturday and saw some super cool cars.

Andie truck! So named because Aunt Andie gave him a Matchbox truck like this a couple years ago.

Evan impressed everyone by knowing this was a Delorian.

The Aston Martin that Evan is going to buy his mama once he makes his bajillions as a rocket scientist who also cures cancer and promotes world peace.

Hot Dog.

The car lovers.

Ford GT.

Bentley.
