Evan at Tugaloo!

Evan enjoyed a boat ride on Uncle Mike and Aunt Karen's pontoon boat. He had eagerly awaited his boat ride for a whole day.

Granddaddy had to hang on tight as he looked over the side of the boat!
Mama and daddy got a kick out of how much he enjoyed the boat!

But...the boat lulled him to sleep!

Its Never to Cold for a Child!

Evan is spending the weekend with us while his mom and dad play tennis on Hilton Head. This morning he found the float in Jacob's old room and wanted to go floating on the pond. I tried to convince him it was too cold. We went outside to check and he said "Its not too cold!". So we got the float and Billy tied a rope to it so he didn't have to get in the pond. We put Evan on the float and Billy pulled him around. When the water starting getting up on the float Evan decided it was time to get out. Guess it was a bit cold to him after all !

Evan & the truck!

Evan went to church with us this morning then we came home and made Kim a birthday dinner. Evan was really sleepy by the time we got home and got lunch ready so he didn't eat much. Kim put him down for a nap around 2 and he slept until after 5. When he woke up he was really grumpy because he was hungry but he was too grumpy to eat. Granddaddy had the bright idea of eating in the back of the truck. Evan face just lit up when granddaddy suggested this. So off the two of them went to the back of the truck with Evan's supper. Evan had a ball playing in the back of the truck and occasionally taking a bite of his food then sharing a bite with Bubba, his dog.

The first picture looks wierd because the shutter failed to open all the way but I liked it so here it is!

Heidi and Cali's visit

Last night Heidi and Cali had supper and spent the night with us. Jacob, Kim and Evan came over too. We had lasgna and fruit pizza for supper then went over to Jacob and Kim's for the children to see the baby chicks and ducks.

Cali and Evan took turns swinging in the big kid swing, they feed the baby chicks and ducks and then had a ball sliding down the slide. Cali went down the slide like a little lady. Evan decided that going down backwards was more fun!

Billy took them riding in the mule. Cali had to have mama ride too but she had fun even with Evan driving!

Cali loved my little church music box. She sat in Billy's lap for quite a while watching the little preacher man come out the door then go back in . She would wave at him each time the doors opened and closed.

Front Porch

Last night Evan spent the night with us while his mama and daddy had a date night. After supper he and Billy picked blueberries.

After Evan got tired of picking blueberries I took Evan in for a bath. Billy came in a while later and tracked in blueberries from his shoes. While I was cleaning up the blueberry tracks Billy watched Evan in the tub. They heard the train coming so Billy grabbed Evan out of the tub and took him on the front porch to see the train. Unfortunately, he didn't put any clothes on Evan!


Evan just had a fine old time running around on the porch in his birthday suit!

Birthday Party - 2years old!

Today we had Evan's birthday party.... so this morning Billy and I took Evan off Kim's hand for a while so she could get ready for it. We took him to the Farmer's Market in Baxley. In the picture above he is lifting weights while he waits for Grandaddy to get his clothes changed.

It rained a good bit today but it cleared up enough for Evan and his friend to get outside and play.

Here Evan is blowing out the candles on his cake. He is in love with "choo choo's" right now so Kim made him a really cute "choo choo" cake.

Everyone who came to the party seemed to know of Evan's infatuation with "choo choos" so he got lots of train things. He was fascinated by this little battery powered train he received from Baby Daniel.



Aunt K K gave Evan one of his favorite gifts....a big ride on choo choo train. You can tell from his face that he loved it!
Aunt Coo Coo gave him his other favorite gift...a dozen baby ducks!
In the last video where he is riding his train, just after I cut off the video he turned around and said "I sorry" because he had bumped into Grandma Karales footstool. It was a slightly delayed apology but it was totally unprompted from the other adults present.

Evan and Easter

Evan, along with all the rest of the family, really had a great time at our family Easter gathering Saturday. Cousin John was there so he had a fun playmate and lots of adoring older cousins, aunts, parents and grandparents. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive he had to spend some time on his favorite activity...coloring. Aunt Karen and Cousin Mikella enjoyed coloring with him for a while. Of course, he hogged the table by sitting on it to color!

Mr. Nosey had to see what Mikella was doing on her phone!

And he's off on the hunt......
Finding eggs has gotten old...he's found something more interesting....ants!
The hunt is over...now its time for play.
