Blessing weekend

My parents came up last weekend for Evan's birthday and we decided to bless Logan while they were here. The weekend was way too short, but we had fun! Eric did a great job with the blessing and it was so nice to have my dad there. He is the only one (besides Eric) that has participated in every one of my children's blessings. Grandma spoiled the kids (myself included) as usual and we got most of an indian costume sewn. All in all it was an awesome weekend!





This was my dance costume when I was little!

Happy Birthday Evan!

My little monkey is SIX!
He is such a good big brother. He knows what to do whenever Logan cries.
Evan wanted to decorate his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake.

He did a great job!
Yum! Funfetti!
Evan loved all his presents. He was very impressed with his pocket watch from Grandpa T and he is taking VERY good care of it :)
I love my Evan so much! I love the little boy he has become. I miss him when he goes to school (why do they make school so LONG?) and I love to hear his stories when he gets home.

Quote of the day- "Jordan is a trouble maker. Mrs. Barber says he knows better, but he really doesn't know better."

Evan had to make an All About Me book for school at the beginning of the year. I asked him a bunch of questions and then tried to find pictures to go with whatever he said. My favorite question was when I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
I love you Evan! Happy Birthday!

Fall Festival

When I was young they did a Halloween Carnival at my school. I always thought it was AWESOME! We had a cake walk, fish pond, a haunted classroom, all the classics. I was not prepared for how huge Evan's Fall Carnival would be! They had bounce houses, slides, a ton of game booths, they had the local dance groups perform, an auction, and much more. I actually heard them auction off a football signed by Nick Saban (Alabama's football coach). It went for over $250.00. It was nuts!
The kids had so much fun and I had a blast volunteering in Evan's class booth (the Crazy Hair booth). Poor Eric was all alone with all four kids while I helped out. After I was done I overheard some women talking about how fantastic my husband was. :)
In summary, it was so great. I know the kids are already thinking about next year!
Lorelai found this vest (which was Reid's last year) and just had to wear it! It does look cute though.
After they visited the crazy hair booth... (Lore has sparkles, you just can't tell)
At the end of the night with prizes :) I think Logan had fun too!

What little boys are made of...

This is what a REAL boys pants should look like. Spray N Wash is going to make SO much money off my family. :)

Note the contents of Reid's cup. He is absolutely a believer in the two-year-old's diet!

We got a dog!

Ok, it's not as real as it sounds. Reid loves this thing though. He wouldn't let it go all day! It is definitely the kind of dog I love. He's fully house trained and very quiet!
