Messy Maestro!

Spaghetti Lunch ... This is for all of you who don't believe I let Evan get messy!

It helps me balance if I smack my lips just right!

Weekly Blog ...

So it seems I am going to be a weekly blogger. Even Tony just walked in and said, "You're blogging?!? You've haven't done that in a long time."

What a night this was. Tony had class until 10 and Evan decided he wasn't going to sleep until he got to see his Daddy. The clock says 10:37 in the picture and he and his Daddy are in the kitchen eating Sonic. What a pair!

We had a CRAZY overtaking of black birds in our front yard and Evan is nuts about birds these days so he had a good time watching and waving at them.


Making Valentine's with Mommy and red paint. Yes, it's all over his face.



Luke made some, too!


Ms. Nichole reading to the boys.

Come on in, the water is warm!

Now, Evan has seen deer at Luke's house, but he has never been this close to one. This thing was ENORMOUS. Even Bug-Z was scared of it.

Is it already February?!?

What a bad blogger I have been these days! Things have been SO busy and I have honestly not taken that many pictures. This is what I have taken and they're not that interesting, but they definitely show you how busy Evan is now that he is walking.

Grammie put a bird feeder out the back doors and Evan loves to watch the birds.

What do you think our New Year's resolutions should have been? (I know what Coke's was ... to get out of that pantry!!!)

Oh what a climber we are. Especially when it comes to playing with the keyboard Nana got him for Christmas. I have a HILARIOUS video of Evan playing the keyboard and dancing, but I can't get it to upload. :(

Evan also loves to find my purse and take everything out and throw it on the floor. Well, he likes to throw anything, but he searches out my purse at least once a day!


Here I come!
