Evans First Baseball Game @ PGE Park!

Evan was my date to the Portland Beaver game on July 21st 2010.  We went with a couple of my friends, and their daughter Hannah who is 8. 

Evan and Hannah got along GREAT.  Evan loves older girls =) 

The Beavers lost, but we all had a great time.  Evan watched his first Portland Beaver Baseball game while eating a hotdog!  And of course we got a big Red Rope!

Summer Is HERE!

Evan and I are both sun-worshipers so we have been LOVING the summer weather and doing lots of fun stuff outside.  The other day we went to Oaks Park for a friends company picnic and got to ride on all the rides for free!  We came straight from dinner at Sweet Tomatoes and the first ride we went on (Teacups) I started feeling sick!  I will go on ANY ride, and am definitely a dare devil when it comes to rides, but I felt sick, on the TEACUPS!!!!  It was such a bad feeling.  I guess I have never really gone on rides with a full stomach, so next time I will definitely NOT eat before heading to the amusement park!  I kept telling Evan to STOP spinning, but even when he tried to stop it would just keep spinning!  I survived the ride, thank God!  Here is a picture of us before the spinning started. =)

Evan is the sweetest boy EVER!  When I got home from work yesterday he had a surprise waiting for me =)

I am seriously the luckiest Mommy in the world to have such a sweet boy!!!

Play Date @ Chuck E Cheese!

Last night we went to Chuck E Cheese with my friend Amanda and her little boy Rylee who just turned 4. 

We all had a great time eating pizza, drinking pop, (which is always a treat) playing games, and especially hugging Chuck E Cheese!!

The boys felt so big because they got to play games all by themselves while us girls sat at the table eating and chatting =)

We had a great time, and even managed to get the 4 of us crammed into the photo booth and have all of our faces in the picture!!  YAY!!!

KAH-NEE-TAH!

Evan and I took a day trip to Kahneetah on Monday because we were so sick of the Portland weather.  We were so happy to find sunshine and warmth in Kahneetah!!  We got there around 1, jumped in the pool and had a blast!  Evan was 2 inches too short to be able to go on the HUGE water slides, but that was okay, becuase there was a kiddy slide, and we pretty much stayed in the shallow water anyway. 
Evan wore his life jacket and practiced swimming with it.  He is really good at swimming on his back!!  He is my little froggy!!  =)

After our first couple hours of swimming we decided it was time for lunch, so we went back to the car and got our lunch and had a little picnic on the grass outside the pool area.  Then we played Putt-Putt golf!  It was a lot of fun.  Evan is getting to be such a great golfer!  With the help from Jordan!  Evan got a hole in one, and so did I! 

We got back into the pool after golfing for another couple hours and then it was dinner time so we got out, and soaked up the sun a little bit while drying off.  Evan looked so cute in my sunglasses!!

After we were all dried off we got an ice cream cone from the store at the camp ground =) 
Having dessert before dinner is so much fun!!

After dessert we headed up to the Lodge to have dinner.  We got to sit right at the window and had the best view of the desert!  It is so beautiful there. 

Overall we had a great trip!  Evan got SO tan, and I will have a good tan too, after my burn goes away =)
P.S.  Yes.  We did use sunscreen!!

Evan Kissed A Girl.... And He Liked It!

On the way to work on Thursday Evan had called me from Gigis cell phone while they were on their way back to her house after she had picked him up from our house.  Evan wanted to tell me that they were going to Burger King to play and have breakfast.  How fun!!  He was really excited!   
I always think about Evan throughout the day, and most of the time talk to him at least once while I am at work but I hadn't heard from them all day!  I knew they were probably busy having too much fun!!

I was talking to Renee and she asked me if I had talked to Evan yet.  I said no..... and she started laughing, and told me that she didn't know if he would tell me what he told her, but she would tell me anyway. 

Oh grrreat..... Here we go. 

She told me that when they came home from Burger King he came up to Renee and said:  "Guess what I did today", in his cute proud way.  Renee said, what....  Evan then said "I kissed a girl." 
OH MY GOSH...............

Renee asked Evan if the girl kissed him back, and Evan said "Well I had to hold onto her head because she was trying to jerk away..."

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!!

Oh Evan..... =)

I love him.

Later that night Evan did end up telling me.  I asked Evan what made him want to kiss her, and he said: "Because she was going to a wettin the next day" =)  So cute.  (Wettin=Wedding)

So there you have it!  Evan kissed a girl.  My 4 year old BABY.  Kissed a girl.  And liked it.  =(  I'm the only girl he is supposed to be kissing!!!

Playing Catch-Up

Time is FLYING by! Its already mid June and so much has been happening that it doesn't even seem real!

We went to the annual Rose Festival fireworks display to kick off the Rose Festival as we do every year. This time it was raining, but that didn't stop us!! Dad, Mom, Renee, Jonathan, Evan and I all piled into the van and had a great time!!

We went to the Starlight Parade, we stayed up WAY too late, but had a BLAST!! Evan was SO excited to get this flashlight because he had seen kids playing with them at the fireworks, but we couldn't find the place to get them. Well, we found one at the parade and he was a happy boy! =)

Evans last day of Pre-School was Friday, June 11th! He is really excited to be out for the summer, but looking forward to going to "Pre-K" in September!!

Among all the craziness of June, we MOVED!! We are still in the same townhouse community, but moved to a different one that is ALL NEW!! Its SO NICE. We love it. We wouldn't have been able to make the move without the help from my family!! Evan didn't complain once, he just kept on truckin'! He is such a great sport!

The day after we moved we headed to the beach to stay in Cannon Beach! We got there Saturday afternoon and had a really cool bon fire that night and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores!  It was so much fun, AND we got to see the SUNSET!! It was a perfectly clear night and we got to watch the whole sunset. It was amazing.

The next day we went into seaside and rode all the rides and played all the games! Even though the weather wasn't as nice as we had hoped for, we still all had a great time! Our favorite part was the Tilt-A-Whirl!

We should have a semi-relaxing couple weeks until the next big event..... 4th of July!!!!!

Mothers Day

About a week before Mothers Day Evan came home from GiGis house with an envelope wrapped up in a paper towel and instructed me not to peek, and that he was going to hide it until Mothers Day when he would finally give it to me.

I woke up on Mothers Day morning with a kiss on the cheek from Evan and the envelope handed to me. It was a hand made card. It was the sweetest card, and it meant even more because it was hand made by Evan. He was so proud!

We took some pictures outside on our back patio before meeting the family for brunch at Elmers.

We had such a fun time at Elmers. It is times like these that I am so thankful for my family.

Dad, Me, Mom, Evan and Jonathan

On another note...

Evan is becoming such a good writer, and he loves practicing his letters and numbers! He WANTS to learn, and that makes me so happy. He will lay on the bathroom floor in the mornings with a marker and paper while I am getting ready for work and ask me how to spell stuff as he writes it. The other morning we started doing math! He was writing out the equation and everything. Evan is so smart! And I am so proud!

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

I have been inspired to start a blog!

I am really excited and I plan to share adventures and pictures on here!

These really are the "good old days", and I want to be able to look back on these days forever, and remember all the cute little moments.

The weather is FINALLY starting to get nice, and I am SO excited!!

I am so happy that Evan loves adventure as much as I do, because we will be exploring a lot in the coming months, as we always do, and there will be a lot to blog about!

Never a dull moment if its up to me...... =)
