Fourth of July!

Last year we didn't watch fireworks so this year we decided that we needed to go watch them for Evan. So this was Evan's first experiece watching them. At first we sat in the back of the car to watch them.

At first he wasn't quite sure what was going on. He watched them intently at the beautiful colors filled the sky.

He also sat on Josh's shoulders.

I was trying to figure out how to get the best picture and unfortunately some of them came out blury.

I think it was a fun experience for him. We have to thank Sylas and his parent's for letting us watch from their house.

Playing with Aunt BreAnn and Uncle Ricky

Evan had a great time playing with BreAnn and Ricky. He loved jumping off the couch to BreAnn.And playing with Ricky.

and sneaking up on him.

He loved the kisses...

... most of them.

Swimming

Evan has been taking swimming lessons at Hubbard family swim school. We go on Mondays and he has been doing a great job. His teachers name is Lizzie.This is a picture of Evan going under water to get to his teacher.

She then rolls him over onto his back. He is getting really good and letting us put him on his back. He just needs to relax and then I think he will be floating by himself.

Learning out to climb out....

... and jump back in.

He has been doing a great job. We have also been practicing at home.

I got home from girls camp. Had a great time.

Adventures with Evan

Evan usually doesn't like to wear his hat but on this day he wanted to wear it sideways. The next think I knew... He was asleep with his hat in the same position.

Evan loves to play by the pool. He is very cautious and careful.

Sorry this one is so little but this was a picture I took just before cutting his hair.

Evan loves to hang out. This was on one of the days that we have the 11-year old scouts over and they were working on pull ups. Of course Evan wanted to try.

So tired that he fell a sleep in his highchair.

These pictures are from my cellphone so they are not the best quality but it works.

Our Bike Ride To The Park

Play group today was at 4212 E Cholla St. Last night I looked it up online and thought that is too far to ride the bike with Evan in his child seat.

This morning I woke up and thought it isn't that far. So we rode to the park, leaving our house at 9:30 am. I would guess that it is about 2-3 miles from our house. It wasn't too bad until we got to Cactus and it seemed like there was a slight incline and a breeze toward us.

Finally we make it to the park at 10 am, not too bad. No one we know is at the park. I think to myself we rode to this park for nothing.

Jessie and Caleb come and we have fun hanging out in the sand.

Evan goes down the slide head first, all by himself. He also goes down a huge slide by himself and I can't get down fast enough to catch him. He didn't like that slide.

Evan is now tired and we ride back home. What a fun day. Hope my legs are not sore tomorrow.

(sorry no pictures with this one)

A morning at the park

Today was a beautiful day and I took Evan to the park. We played there for about an hour and a half. He loves the swings and today he went down the slide many times by himself. He also took it truck and sent it down each time before he could come down. I also thought it was funny because he would go feet first on his stomach instead of his butt.

After the park we went to Walmart to get Josh's birthday present and a few other things. Evan always makes the cash registers day. They always smile at him and say hi. When we leave he always blows them kisses. On the way home he fell asleep at 11:30am. I guess that is what happens when you wake up at 7am. I tried to keep him awake long enough to eat lunch but it didn't happen. He then slept for two hours until his gram came to get him for the rest of the afternoon.
