The leader of the pack...

Evan got his new tricycle yesterday...and as you can see from the photos, he was VERY excited by it. We have had to dub it his "outside bike," as he keeps wanting to bring it inside with his scooter bike. Since my toes have already been run over numerous times by said scooter bike, there is NO WAY that the big trike is coming inside.

He also calls it his "motorcycle." At least he dreams big.

Here are my boys...enjoying a little Metallica...

Photos of Evan and his cool new tricycle are coming soon. Tomorrow if I'm not too tired from work...

"Show-Me" the photos!

Okay, gang...to make up for my lack of recent blog entries...here are a whole BUNCH of photos from our recent trip to MO to see the fam. I think the captions say it all...

We had a great time and I think Evan has finally recovered from the car ride. Wait until he finds out we're traveling AGAIN soon...

Note: if you click on any photo in the slideshow, it should take you a larger slideshow where you can control the speed it plays at...

SORRY!

Okay...so I know I haven't updated this thing in a bit. I have TONS of pictures from our trip North...and I'll post them soon...I swear!

Busy, busy, busy!

For your viewing pleasure, photos of Evan with his "friends" (the delightful Stacrobats given to him by Aunt Jesse for Christmas). Did you know that the little magnetic creatures make keen bike decorations? Did you also know that Bryan and I are so desperate for entertainment that we'll help Evan put these Stacrobats on his bike? Note also how NOT amused the cat is...

Here are also some pictures of Evan enjoying his first foray of the season into the backyard wading pool. He showed a bit of trepidation, possibly because he decided he would rather run around in the backyard itself. He also insisted on wearing his sandals (must be that shoe thing).

Enjoy!

I fall down!

Well it's been a while since I posted...but life has been a little peculiar to me lately. Had a nasty stomach virus this week...and have been busy with other craziness as well. I think we're all back on track now...so all is well!

Evan had his 2-year well child appointment today. He is now 34 inches tall and weighs 25 pounds. The doctor is really pleased with his height and weight...and even said (unsolicited, I swear) that Evan's vocabulary and speaking were "well above an average 2-year old boy's." I knew it...our boy's a genius! Kidding...but it's good to know that he's doing well...

Lest you think that Evan's an intellectual who might make you feel uncomfortable, let me present his latest video simply entitled, "I fall down!" This is his new favorite game. If he falls down on his own, he loudly exclaims, "I faw down!" If he doesn't fall down on his own, then he throws himself down like a stuntman...just so he can say, "I faw DOWN!" Then he giggles maniacally.

I see physical comedy in his future...
