Recent Pics and Happenings

I had a good friend staying with me for a few weeks while she was in the middle of moving from Portland to Cd'A. This is her son Jared and Evan taking a bath together.

Evan and Jared playing together in the bathroom.

Evan was really enjoying his bath!

Me trying to connect with Jeff while he kicked butt at Monopoly.

Jeff had so much money and property he started to freak out!

This is the essence of what it's like to go home! lol

The intense Monopoly game.

Me and Evan watching.

Maddi (Jared's mom) and Luke didn't know how intense a game of Monopoly is with the family!

Me and Evan just hangin out.

More pics from Evan's 1st Birthday

To the left are Zana, Toby and myself. These were two were a huge help in setting up and tearing down for the event!

Below daddy is cleaning Evan off!

And here is grandpa feeding the baby.

Above we have Evan's Aunt Ciara and her bf Andy. Then above here is my very friendly neighbor Heather. She helps keep me sane!

These are friends from my church. They are all amazing and I have really enjoyed getting to know them. :)

Now here to the left is Uncle Jeff looking...weird..to put it nicely.

Below is Uncle Ryan!

Evan's 1st birthday!

Evan's birthday was such a blast! I had a ton of help from friends who came early, stayed late and kept me sane when I stressed out at the unexpected! Evan got some really neat gifts, mostly books which was perfect! We now have a nice variety of reading, I just wish Evan wanted to still long enough to read more than one page!

Evan enjoyed the cake. At first he seemed a little unsure, but then he tasted it and he liked it! Then someone (I think my dad) yelled for me to let him stand in the cake! So I did. haha

Evan did not like that very much!

Some of our most recent pictures and events

Some of these are pretty obvious...first we have Poppa and Evan. Soooo cute!!

Then there is me with my two little brothers...funny, I am the one that feels little!

This one here is Aunty Ciara and daddy.

Next up is Evan sitting in his johnny jump up that grandma and grandpa Bollman got him! He really likes it and it's really fun to watch! hmmm in this picture you can't really tell that he likes it, but he really does!

This one up here is evan's typical "I'm smiling for you now" smile.

This next one is just your happy go lucky 11 month old. Doesn't he just make your heart melt?

Well, these are just a few pictures from the last month. I know I didn't get everyone in here (sorry grandparents :) ) But there will be more posts and more pictures in future posts!

New Year's Resolutions

Well, as this is my first post to this blog. I think this would be a great time to explain why I started it.

Blogging as a hobby is something that has resurfaced for me within just the past two months. My other blog is geared towards my personal thoughts regarding my faith and my life. It's meant for anyone to read and I consider it to be ministry. My goal is for God to use my writing to His glory.

This blog, on the other hand, stems from my neighbor. Her blog is full of updates about her life for her friends and family to see. It's very cute with lots of pictures and music and fun, bright colors.

So, this blog is dedicated to letting my family see what Evan and I are up to. I really hope you guys enjoy it!
