Evan is 2!

My baby is now officially a toddler. Evan turned two years old on April 23. He had a fun party with lots of family to celebrate with. He got lots on nice presents too. We are so happy to have E-dog in our family. He is a very cute and sweet little boy. He can have his terrible two moments, but they are really few and far between. He is lucky to have two older brothers to show him the ropes. We just love him and can't wait to see as his personality develops more this coming year.

Enjoying his cake.
In case you can't tell his cake was a Blues Clues paw print. I think Blues Clues was one of his first words.
He has loved this Elmo for quite a while now when we've seen it at the store, and we couldn't pass it up for his birthday when it was 1/2 off.

At the end of the night Evan grabbed his new, cute blankie (made for him by Grandma Familia) and climbed up on the couch. He wanted his other presents up there with him too. He has enjoyed his gifts and his brothers were great "helpers" showing him how to play with them. :)

Our Easter Photo '09

I was so excited to find matching bow ties for the boys for Easter Sunday (in the $1 section at Target no less), and I was dreaming about the great picture I would get of them together. Well as you can see it didn't quite turn out. Nevermind that they have the we just got out of the bath and our hair isn't combed look, but umm Evan was not going to cooperate at all. So what's a girl to do? Just take a picture of Josh and Ben together and one of Evan by himself crying his eyes out and merge them together in Photoshop. Tada, a picture of all three boys together in their matching bow ties. Perfect!

Easter Egg Hunt x 3

The boys had a total of three Easter egg hunts this year. Lucky boys!

Easter Egg Hunt #1 - Grandma/pa Snow's house (Josh did participate in this hunt, but he was too quick for me gathering up all those eggs on the other side of the yard - hence no pics of Joshy.)




Easter Egg Hunt #2 - Grandma/pa Familia's house

Spiderman...Again

Spiderman is back again. This time I think serious/moody Spiderman showed up. What do you think? Yes, Ben does wear this costume quite a bit. He seems to like to get his pictures taken in the get up as well. That's okay though cause I'm always up for taking more pictures. We are sure glad that his Grandma Snow got the outfit for him for Christmas. There are many worn spots and a few holes here and there. I just hope it make it til Halloween. Kinda doubt it though.




This move is a Ben classic. He is always telling me that he is going to show my one of his tricks. He often shows me a couple tricks landing in his bed at night unless he announces that he is too tired. This is a cartwheel thing he does on his forearms. It is much better in person. I must get it on video to get the full effect.

Evan wanted to get in on the picture taking action. I'm happy to oblige, and he is cute as usual!
