"Mom there are great dancing songs on pbskids dot oregon." Pretty sure he meant pbskids.org! :)

Some Funnies

Last night Gary and I were watching TV and Evan said, "you better turn of the TV or else you won't be able to watch TV." I could just hear myself, you better pick up those toys or you won't be able to watch Dinosaur Train. Then when we didn't turn it off, he said, "uh oh", which is exactly what we say when he isn't listening to us. :)

This morning his response to every request I have made is, "that's not the way we talk."

Just now he came up to me and said, "Mom, you're not bossy." I said, "are you bossy?" His reply, "yes, I'm bossy." I think he was trying to tell me, you're not the boss of me, but just combined it into bossy, because then he told me I wasn't the boss of Garrett, his friend. :)

What a funny, funny boy!

Large Chocolate Milk Please

The other day Evan and I were out running errands. Our first stop was the bank. When we pulled up to the window he said, "I'll have a large chocolate milk please." Quickly followed by, "I mean a sucker." :) Sorry to say this is an indication of how much we use the drive-thru!

So Grown Up

Evan was assigned to give the scripture in primary today. I ended up reading most of it, but he did help with the last couple sentences and the reference. I think he thought it was pretty cool to talk through the microphone. He's just getting so grown up!

Yesterday Evan went in the bathroom and went to the potty by himself twice! It was fun to see how excited he was as we celebrated his success with him. It's kind of funny because he won't tell us when he needs to go, so we were very surprised that he just went in there himself. We still have a way to go though, because no luck today. :)

Evan's Latest Funnies

Happy New Year - Hal Lee Noon Nyear.

For some reason Evan has latched on to the word buttocks and just won't let it go! We try to not laugh or respond to it, but he still keeps at it. Sunday morning he crawled into bed with us and started singing, Jingle buttocks, jingle buttocks.... Later at church when he started singing Jingle Bells, I was preparing myself to be mortified at him singing jingle buttocks again. Luckily he didn't!

Last night Evan was at the dining room table and we heard him talking to everything that was there, hi chex, how are you, hi lightening, how ya doing... What a funny boy!

Evan is still calling me honey every now and again. Do you want this car honey? What's wrong honey? It's okay honey. :)

If you ask Evan to do something again, he'll say, I just really did, I just really did. I guess already sounds like really.

A New Year!!!

Well, here it is 2010 and I keep thinking about all the pictures I never posted from Evan's birthday through Christmas, so I'm going to do that today. Also, I've been checking out all our friends blogs and I'm inspired by them being on the ball! It seems like once you get behind, it's harder and harder to sit down and catch up. I probably won't post as many pictures as I would have if I was caught up, but I'll at least give a sampling.

New Photos

Okay, I'm a bit behind, but I did get some photos up on the photo blog. Still to come...Halloween and Birthday. :)

Evan's Closing in on Lap 3!!!

Well another birthday is coming up for Evan and this year we are doing a Cars themed birthday because he still loves that movie and his little car toys. I found a cute Cars invitation you can order personalized online, but there's no way I'm paying for something I can duplicate on my own computer! :) So, here is what I did. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I'm going to do a Cars cake too, of course, but it won't be too elaborate, just a simple 9" round that will have a racetrack, Lightning McQueen and Mater on it. That cake will be for the candles. Last weekend we transplanted all our daffodil, tulip and hyacinth bulbs and my wrists got very sore pulling all those bulbs apart. I'm not sure they are up to a lot of piping, so simple will be better this year. I'm going to do cupcakes on the side in Lightning McQueen wrappers with little cupcake toppers and little cars sprinkles. I have a really cool cupcake holder that I got from Sherylee last year, so they will look cute in that. I think Evan will be pretty thrilled with it all!

Your Phone is Laughing

I recorded Evan laughing and put that on my phone as my ring tone. I love it! That's why if you call me, I am probably smiling when I answer. :) The other day my phone rang and Evan said to me, "Mommy, your phone is laughing."

Just Chillin'

Evan is sitting on Gary's lap on the rocking chair. I just asked him, "Are you chillin' with Daddy?" His response, "no, he's hot." :)
