CHEESE!

Evan is in the lovely stage of making a "cheese" face whenever the camera is pointed at him...soooo missing that sweet smile in pics lately. Or, he's just not looking. :)

Evan finally met his great-grandpa this week. (My mom's dad) He lives in Mississippi, but was in Kansas for a funeral. I'm pretty sure this will be a cherished pic for years to come.

Evan has spent too much time with Ben Long and is eating lemons...seriously.

One last cheesy pic of Evan at lunch with Micah on Father's day.

looking way too grown up

well, except for the blanket.

Mommy is 30!

I (Anya) celebrated my 30th birthday all week! (thanks to Micah :)

Yesterday we went to my brother's house for a cookout with their family and my parents. Eric and Elizabeth kept Evan for us on Saturday and Sunday so Micah could take me to the Plaza for a surprise party. I had a great birthday week!

Evan is loving the pool this summer. Every day he wakes up and asks me if we are going swimming.

breakfast

One morning last week we asked Evan if he was ready to eat breakfast. He said he wanted "dinner". Ok, Evan what do you want for "dinner"? I want breakfast. Kids really do say the funniest things.

"I ride train with grandpa"

Evan and I headed to Topeka on Saturday to ride the BNSF train with my mom and dad. My Dad works for the railroad and this was a "family special".

Evan just kept saying, "I ride train with grandpa".

Thanks for letting me ride the train with you grandpa.

"Do I get to ride the train?"

We had a hard time getting pictures of Evan actually looking at the camera. There were too many trains to see.

"I ride the train with grandpa"

"train!" I think grandpa was just as excited!

video

I'm having trouble loading a video of Evan. If you are reading this then we are probably friends on Facebook, so head over to my profile to see a video of Evan singing and dancing to Bohemian Rhapsody. Love that boy...he's so funny!

daddy's blackberry pics as promised

Poor kid doesn't even look good, huh?
