funny things Evan has said while praying

• When praying on Monday night he repeated, "Dear God" and then he said "Thank you my cycle, my wagon, my trains. Amen"
• We had lunch with our friends Ryan and Courtney Hill on Easter. So, that night I asked Evan to thank God for them . He repeated Courtney's name fine, but when I said "Ryan" he roared like a Lion. I said no, it's "Ryan"...he roared again. So, thank you God for Courtney and Lion. :)
• We've been praying for our friends Ben and Nicole quite a bit lately so one day last week Evan was persistent. He said, "Thank you mommy, daddy, and Ben" "Nico and Ben and Ben" I said in Jesus' name...."and Ben"

Easter egg hunt in Silver Lake

We went to Silver Lake on Saturday to celebrate Easter with the Goodman's. We had the whole family together including my Grandparents from Salina. All of the kids had a great time playing outside together. Here are a few pics from the Easter Egg hunt...

Neal, Elsie, Evan, and Andrew. It appears as though Elsie and Evan are more interesting in the contents of their eggs.

I was chasing after him trying to get pictures. He was having so much fun!

Nice try uncle Mark...I found it :)

Grandpa was there to help me too...

Evan on his 'nycle

Evan has been enjoying his new tricycle now that the weather has warmed up. He calls it his 'nycle. Today he wanted to try "downhill 'nycle". So, he used the neighbor's steep driveway to go fast and he loved it. This is a video from Micah's phone...sorry if you get motion-sick watching it.

winner winner chicken dinner

I promise that this will not be a constant recap of the days events. However, I am trying to get back into this whole blogging thing...you know, exercise my brain a little. The real challenge would be for me to not use spell check :)

That being said, Evan had chicken for dinner. Not noteworthy in and of itself, but you should have seen how much he ate. He also had a whole banana, some cheerios, a mixed fruit cup.....oh and some cheese. Yeah, he's pretty much a bottomless pit these days. I took a pic with my phone (the memory card from the camera is full) because he just looks so big to me lately. He especially looks big here sitting back with his belly full...so Ansley.

So, it's only been a year

Ok, so I understand that there is probably no one out there reading this anymore. Gee, maybe it's because we haven't posted anything in over a year. Hello! However, I now have this handy-dandy laptop that "should" make it even more convenient for me to keep y'all up-to-date with the Ansley 3 in KC.

Having said this...let's see if I can figure out how to post pics with this thing. Hmmm...

If this works, there should be a new pic of Evan and I (Anya).

In the words of Evan, "i di it"

Mommy is now the author of this blog. Evan has way more important things to be doing...like running, playing with cars, singing with mommy in the car, riding his tricycle...you know, all the cool stuff he can do now that he's 2!

If you are still reading....let me know. It's just nice to know you're out there.

Table Manners

Still Here!!!

I've been busy holding down the fort here in KC. At the end of February, mom and dad went to Mexico for a week! They left me here at home with Grandma and Grandpa Goodman. We had a blast! Mom is still waiting for Grandma to send her pictures from that week, but she'll post some soon! (hint hint :)

Mom and Dad went to Puerto Vallarta to celebrate their 5 year anniversary (which is this May)!

Dad is enjoying teaching me all about March Madness this year.

Unfortunately, I found my way down a couple of stairs a few weeks ago, and I got my first bruise. :(

Sometimes, I like to stretch while I'm taking a nap.
