A trip to Estes Park

Evan spent his first weekend away from home, on a trip to Estes Park this month. He loves being outside, playing with leaves, rocks, dirt, pine cones... you name it! Oh, and he also loves dad's hat. He's quite obsessed with it lately.

Aloha!

No, we did not sneak away to Hawaii for a getaway. Although, that would be quite nice. We were invited to a Tiki party in Evergreen and told to wear our hawaiian shirts. I'm not sure how many opportunities we may have to be this matchy-matchy, so we had to take advantage of it.

Breakfast at the Mall

We took Evan to discover the breakfast playground at Cherry Creek Mall. He really enjoyed the eggs and french toast and playing underneath the bacon. It will be a while until he's big enough to jump in the bowl of cereal or slide down the bacon. He had so much fun... we can't wait for our next trip to the mall!

Baby Shower Quilt

At last, the final product of the baby shower quilting fun. It turned out so awesome! What a great keepsake for Evan to have. Thanks to Grandma Caren for putting this together and to Auntie Maureen for the great idea!

Look Who's Famous!

Mr. Evan James is getting pretty good at this photo shoot business. His last session went so well, the studio asked if they could feature him on their website. We're so proud of our little star! To see the featured photo, go to http://www.mountainlightstudios.com/ then go to Galleries, then Children and there he is!!

Summertime and the Livin' is Easy

Evan's been enjoying his summer so far. He's been spending alot of time at the park. He loves riding in the swing, pulling grass, playing with pine cones and watching the other kids play. He's also becoming quite the swimmer at the pool. He loves kicking his legs and making his floatie move. He's developing the cutest little tan.

Evan Goes to the Pool

We finally got a chance to take advantage of the nice weather and bring Evan to the pool. He loved the water and being out in the warm sunshine. Now, if only we could get him to keep his hat on.

Hangin' with Mommy

Evan is excited that the weather is finally looking like summertime! Mommy has all sorts of great adventures planned for him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Evan. Happy Birthday to you! Wow, what a year! We can't believe how fast it's gone by. Evan has had so many excellent adventures in his first year with us. And his 1st cake was no exception. He wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but once he got a taste, it was all over!

Evan Goes to the Park!

With the fabulous warm weather last week, Evan had his first official visit to the park. Official, meaning that he was actually awake and now old enough to try out the swing! He wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but once he got going, he loved it. He also got to go down the slide for the first time. Another excellent adventure for Mr. Evan James!
