Rough Weekend

We had a few extra days off over this Memorial Day weekend, but they were a bit rough. First Mommy was sick, then Daddy started to get sick and the then little guy got pink eye. Oh boy. We're all on the mend, but the last couple days have been brutal. Here's to next weekend.

Here's a VIDEO of Evan and his teddy bear.

Here's a VIDEO of Evan pushing around his firetruck.

We still like to sit in the racetrack

Funny Videos

Here's a few cute videos we filmed this weekend. We have to share...

VIDEO of Evan and his new Weebles. It takes about 24 seconds to get intersting, but we think it's worth the wait.

VIDEO of Evan laughing at Mommy and Daddy's tongues.

The little guy got his arm stuck in his new workbench, we had to take a photo...

Rainy Weekend

We're spending lots of time indoors this weekend. But Evan's having a good time, and he has been making us laugh a lot. He's discovering that he can do more things and his fine motor skills seem to be improving everyday.

Here's a VIDEO of Evan playing his Xylophone on Saturday.

Superman Pajamas!!!

Evan got some "Weebles"

They wobble, but they don't fall down...

Spring has Sprung!

Evan's been loving being outside this week!  The weather cooperated for part of it at least.  He had a playdate with his cousin Grayson today - they went to the park, took simultaneous naps (yea!), and then took turns cruising in the Cozy Coupe.

Here's a VIDEO of Grayson push Evan in the Cozy Coupe.


Hanging out in the yard while mom and dad plant flowers - we tried to get him to pull dandelions while he was there, but no luck.

Grayson on the duck.

This is when they agreed to share the Cozy Coupe.

Wagon companions

Evan LOVED having someone in the wagon with him!

Wanna race?

Evan decided that he wanted to venture out a bit this weekend and figure out something new to do with his race track.  Because putting cars in it to spin around wasn't fun enough.  I walked into the living room and there was Evan, smiling, sitting cross-legged in the race track.  We laughed so hard, so of course he wanted to do it again.  Gotta love his explorative nature:)

Here's a VIDEO of Evan sitting in his racetrack.

"C" is for Cookie

Evan is following in his mommy's footsteps in terms of his love for sweet treats!  Aunt Toby brought over some chocolate chip cookies and as you can see, Evan devoured them!  Well, not all of them.  We haven't gone that far yet!  He's also getting used to having his hands in the grass - a week ago, he hated the feel of the grass on his hands.  He would actually crawl around the sidewalk or the perimeter of the blanket we had in the grass, but once his hands touched the grass he'd back off.  Last night he was booking it around the yard.  Should be a fun summer!

Cookies....good!

Hmmm.....

The world does look cooler through shades!

Raiding the Cabinets and Raiding the Zoo

Evan got to go to the Zoo with Mommy to see the baby farm animals on Friday. It's hard to take photos when it's just one of us with him, but there's a few below. Evan's new thing is to raid the cabinets, he's particularily fond of the box of granola bars seen below.

Here's a cute VIDEO of Evan saying "Momma," reading a book and playing with his giant bear.

Granola bars... safe for a 1 year old? Nope!

Evan's First Easter

Evan enjoyed his first Easter by spending most of the day outside in the sun....FINALLY!!!!  He loved being outside, but he's not yet a fan of crawling in the grass.  He literally will crawl around the perimeter of the blanket or the sidewalk, but once his hands hit the grass, he pulls back.  We think he'll grow out of that this summer....hopefully.
We hope everyone had a great Easter weekend and enjoyed time with your families!

Here's a VIDEO of Evan enjoying his new bubbles on Easter morning.

Evan's 50th Post!

This is our 50th blog entry in "NE+WI = Awesome." It's hard to believe, but we've had so much to talk about and show everybody with our little guy. He keep surprising us and making us laugh everyday. Tonight he had some fun with his new Lawnmower that he got for his birthday. He also had a good time with his musical snail.

Here's a VIDEO of Evan and his lawnmower.

We're looking forward to this weekend, the weather is supposed to be nice and we're heading up to Shoreview to see Aunt Rachel, Uncle Danny and Cousin Grayson for Easter brunch.

Here's some photos of the little guy having a good time at the park the other day...

Birthday Weekend Photos

It has been a bit crazy here, but we're getting back into our routine. Evan's first birthday was last Saturday (April 9th) and we had such a great time. We had a bunch of family and friends at the house to celebrate Evan's first year. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to him and he got to tear through a cupcake (homemade by Mommy and Auntie Toby). Here are some of our favorite photos from the weekend...



Evan really liked his Birthday Banner
