Mom playing photographer!

I don't think you can take a bad picture when you have a baby as cute as this one.

Soccer Mom!

Well I am finally a soccer mom.  I always loved playing soccer and now I have a son who is playing.  I have to remind myself that he is only four and is playing with four and five year olds.  Just as long as he is having fun then that is all that matters.  He plays with some kids from church so that makes it a lot of fun for him to have his friends playing with him.  Josh is the coach so we are all in. 

They picked there team name and decided on the Coyotes.  I have to say he looks really cute in his soccer uniform.

In this picture he is waiting on the hill for gramps and gram to get to the game.

He wanted to play goalie so he could be like mom but then realized it might not be so much fun. Wherever he wants to play is fine with me.

Here is is little team after the game.

Evans Turns 4!

On Evan's Birthday we took him to the Fun Factory and let him play.  He had a great time.

We had a birthday party the Saturday before his birthday with some of his friends.  They played pin the spiderman on the web.

 Evan had a Spiderman cupcake cake with his friends and he had a Ben 10 cake on his birthday.  I think he figured out that mom actually buys the figures to put on the cake and so he decided to change the type of cake he wanted for both days. 

Evan is a good boy and he is very smart.  He enjoys going to preschool and loves to swim.  We have started him in soccer this fall and he has a lot of fun with his friends.  He is a great big brother and loves Jake very much.  He is a good little helper and always checks on Jake if he is crying to make sure he is okay.  We love Evan and don't know what we would do without him.

Watch Him Grow.

One Week- 6 pounds 7 ounces 19 1/2 inches

Two Weeks

One Month- 7 pounds 14 ounces 20 3/4 inches

Two Months- 9 pounds 11 ounces 22 1/4 inches

At Jakes two month appointment he finally weighed more than Evan did when he was born (9lbs 7oz).

They grow too fast!

Evan the Big Brother

Evan is a good big brother and loves to help with his brother.  At first we had to supplement a little bit with formula to make sure Jake was going to gain weight.  Here is Evan helping with a bottle.


He loves to hold him whenever he can.....



...And give him kisses.


Don't mess with my brother. 
I have a feeling Evan will protect Jake.

A big day for all of us!

August 14, 2012 was a big day for all of us.  It started out with Evan going to his first day of preschool.  Josh and I dropped him off and got him settled.  He was very excited.  Then Mom and Dad were off to the hospital for our scheduled c-section.  Evan's picture says:  Today I am a big brother.  He was so excited and couldn't wait to hold Jake.  Gram and Gramps picked him up from school and brought him to the hospital where they waited patiently for us.
Evan is a good big brother and he loves Jake very much.
