Birthday Activities

We went to Cracker Jack's for Evan's Birthday. He said that he wanted to go golfing so we tried Miniture Golf. He wasn't too sure about it so luckily we got our money back because we didn't make it past the first hole. Then we went to the bumper boats which he loved. After the bumper boats he wanted to go ride the go-carts with his dad or gramps but he was too short to ride with them and just tall enough to ride in the little ones by himself. The steering wheel was a little hard to turn so he only went around twice. After all this fun we went to gram and gramps for lunch and a little swim. Evan loves to swim.

Pictures at the Temple

I decided that we needed to get Evan's pictures taken for his 3rd Birthday. I thought it would be nice to take some pictures at the Temple. So one Saturday Evan and I took a trip to the Temple (Josh was at 11 year old scout camp). I got some good ones with part of the temple in the background but they also have people there.

Here Evan is thinking, "I want to climb up there".

Now that I look at this picture it is pretty cool with the green grass and the blue shirt. They were also redoing the outside of the temple on this side.

I was afraid that he was going to take off for the temple doors that turn in the front. If he got to that door I knew that he would be in the temple. So we didn't get too close to those doors.

Looks like he is taking a break for it.

All in all I am glad we went and took pictures. I wish we could have gotten more but I didn't want him to get loose in the temple. He is too fast and I don't think the guys at the front desk could have caught him.

Camping and Fishing

This was a fish my brother Ricky caught. Evan loved it when we caught fish. One day Evan and I caught a few fish and each time we did he would say "We finally did it mom". My Aunt Vicki has the pictures of the fish we caught. We had a good time fishing.

This picture was taken by Vela lake which is on the top of the Grand Mesa near Grand Junction Colorado.

Backyard Fun

In my Aunt Vicki's back yard they have a little Zip line from the playhouse to the tree. One day Evan even played with the sprinkler and then decided he would chase me with it. He also had fun swinging with Grandma.

Train Trip to Ogden

We decided to ride the train from Woodscross to Ogden. This was the easiest way to get to Ogden for a short visit and also do something that Evan would enjoy. I think he had a good time on his first real train ride.

Evan hitting Pinata

We went to the Vaterlaus family reunion this year. Evan got to do a lot of fun things. There was a bounce house, he made his own rocket and shot it off about a 100 times, and he got to hit the pinata. He even waited patiently for his turn.

Mother's day Pictures

These were pictures that I took for Mother's day presents. I think they turned out pretty good. They are just Evan being Evan so I think they turned out pretty good.
