Evan's First Birthday!

Happy Birthday Evan!! It has been a crazy year, and our baby boy is now ONE!



We had a party for him this afternoon...Nothing like waking up from a nap to find a house full of people to see you!

The Theme was Sock Monkeys, right down to the favors and cupcakes.

Cake is funny!!


Thanks to all the family and friends here to celebrate, Evan got more presents than any child could dream of.
Here he is working his way through some of them.


So a whole year has past and Evan is such a joy. He is smart and silly, sensitive and sneaky, and we are so thankful to have him in our lives.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVAN! WE LOVE YOU!

Our family today:
August 7, 2010



Here's a recap of the day in case you weren't there:

Paisano 2010

We took our annual trip to Paisano last week. We missed last year because I was VERY pregnant with Evan, but this year we decided we could make it and piled in the car and headed to West Texas.
Though being there was exhausting for us because nothing was baby proofed, Evan had a great time. I'm so glad he had started walking because Paisano isn't exactly a place to crawl. Over the week his walking skills increased incrementally and he is now a true professional.

Big Boy!!



Evan's favorite things to do at Paisano were:

EXPLORING!!


CLIMBING!!


SWINGING!!


DRIVING!!


PLAYING WITH DADDY!!



Here's Evan in the kitchen sink taking his bath. This is a tradition that all babies must do in our family...He is the third generation to be bathed in this sink.


Here are our family pictures...
This one is in front of the Cabin my Great Grandfather built. Poor Maddie was not excited about the picture.



This is the cabin we stay in, which is just next door. (Notice Evan is biting a rock, it was a constant battle to prevent rock eating)


I hope Evan will enjoy coming back to Paisano every year as much as I have.
Here is the video from the trip:
