mmmm....French Onion Soup

So, I (Anya) really like French Onion Soup! Yum! I had no idea Evan liked it so much too. He stole my bowl when we were eating at Jason's Deli with my parents.

Little Gardener

Evan helped Grandma and Grandpa in the their garden this summer. He helped dig potatoes.

just some pics from the summer

I've had "blog" on my to-do list for 3 weeks! But, I've been exhausted and nauseous for 3 weeks (just a little side effect of the pregnancy :)

So, I'm just gonna post a few pics from the summer. I've been terrible about even taking pics this summer. We spent most of our days at the pool and I never took a picture!!!

Evan and I made a trip to Salina, KS in July to visit my grandparents. I was thrilled to get this picture of four generations.

My sister and her family were here for the July 4h weekend and Evan and Elsie had a blast playing together. We let them get into a sticky mess enjoying watermelon on the deck. Lots of fun!

Howdy!

cute things Evan said today

I was getting Evan buckled into his car seat and he asked, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

"I'm getting you buckled up."

"Mommy, get in the car, turn it on, it's hot!"

**************

As I was cleaning the toilets this afternoon Evan says, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

"I'm cleaning the toilets. They are yucky."

"Good job mommy"

**************

Oh, he also thanked me for washing his hair today.

just reading the menu

We were out for dinner tonight and Evan insisted that he "read" the menu. I wish I would have caught him when he was flipping each page and looking intently at the pictures.

Is it just me or did he grow up overnight? (sigh...)

coming back...I promise

ok friends, I will get back to posting. I promise. The end of June was busy with our vacation to Mexico (without Evan). Then it's been nothing but VBS the past few weeks. VBS ends tomorrow! I've had a blast being on the worship team this week, but I am exhausted. Being pregnant doesn't help the exhaustion either. That's right, I am pregnant!

I'll post new pics of Evan this weekend. The camera is downstairs and I'm not.

just kidding...gonna post a pic from the phone :) Evan was so proud of himself for lining up the cars. LOVE HIM!

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.
