Long Time...

Wow, it's been a long time since we've posted anything. I guess life has gotten in the way. Today we are celebrating Evan's 4th Birthday! 4 years ago today I lay in a hospital bed waiting to meet my sweet little boy. He's not so little now. He is becoming so very independent. Happy birthday my big boy! I can't imagine my life without you.

Holiday and Birthday fun

The Christmas season is always very busy and packed for us. We have two birthdays and Christmas all in the span of 6 days. Warning, this is an overload of fun. :) We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. We have been very blessed.

Timothy got this bumbo seat for Christmas and really likes sitting in it.

This was one of the few pictures we got of Evan's birthday party. He didn't want us to sing to him, so we just said Happy Birthday and he blew out the candle.

He got this wonderful sled from Santa. We all had a blast riding with Evan down the slope. You can see on his face how much fun he was having. I don't think he has ever had so much fun. It was a blast! He and Papa were having a great time.

This is how he got up the hill. He would lie in the sled and one of us had to pull him up.

Daddy and Timothy catching a short nap.

Nina and Timothy Christmas morning.

Evan got the jersey he'd been wanting all season. His Brandon Marshall jersey. He was so excited to put it on.

The happy family on Christmas morning.

Evan was pretending to be a baby just like Timothy.

Mema and Mommy with our boys. Silly Evan has a label from a shirt over his mouth. He did that himself.

Papa and Evan posing in front of the Christmas tree.

Evan and Daddy playing with Evan's new train set. You can also see his new front loader behind him. Oh, he got lots of fun new toys to play with.

Evan and Daddy practicing on the sled for later in the day.

Timothy liked his new quilt. He likes frogs. :)

Timothy enjoyed all his new presents too.

This was visiting with Mama before Christmas. Evan wasn't to happy about taking pictures that day.

This was on Evan's actual birthday. I asked him what he wanted to do and he said, "play". So we went to Cherry Creek Mall to play on the breakfast foods.
He really liked the waffles.

He even got some birthday ice cream.

He really had fun taking pictures with Daddy's camera.

Our sweet boys.

Evan opening a Birthday present.

I didn't tell him to do this, he just kissed his brother all on his own. He sure loves his little brother.

Evan did a great job decorating the door for Christmas.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Poppi, Gramma and Aunt Heather.

We spent the Sunday before Thanksgiving with Mama.

Fall Happenings

We have had a busy fall. Timothy and Evan keep growing and are two of the cutest boys ever.

Timothy has been exploring his hands a lot lately. Many times I'll look at him and he's trying to fit his whole hand in his mouth.


For Halloween, we went to Boo at the Zoo with Mema and Papa. Evan had a great time and got lots of candy. Our boys fit right in at the zoo, as they were animals themselves.

Monkeying around.



A cheesy grin with Papa.

Mema and her boys.

Evan loves to sit and talk to Timothy. And Timothy has started to "talk" back. The two are so cute together.

Evan has decided it is time for him to start shaving now. He likes to join Daddy.


Poppi had his hands full with Timothy and Oxford.

I think these two will be great friends when they grow up. Timothy smiles at Evan, and Evan is such a good big brother. He comforts him when he cries and plays with him when he's awake.


We went to visit Mama, my grandma, and there is a statue of a dalmatian. Evan always likes to look at it, but this day he wanted to ride on it.

Four generations.


We had our annual "Team Meeting" Halloween party. Joe always gets Evan to smile.

And he was giving Aunt Megan lots of loves. He did the other girls too, we just don't have pictures. He did ask after everyone left where his ladies were though. I asked him what he meant and he said, "You know, Shannon, Megan, Kelly". There you have it, they are his ladies.

Just some cute pictures of my guys.
