Visiting With Grandma and The Fowler Family

Carl, Evan, and I went to Tennessee last weekend to visit Carl's Grandma, as well as Carl's Aunt Karol and her family. Evan was a very good traveller. We took the DVD player and Evan enjoyed watching Elmo while we drove. It was an easy trip!

While we were there, we had lots of fun seeing Grandma, Aunt Karol, Uncle Larry, Sarah, Marlee, and Jamie. Evan warmed up to everyone quickly and was really sweet. He liked all of the cats at Grandma's house. Unfortunately, the cats did not like Evan and they always ran away from him! Evan had fun playing with his second cousin, Marlee. Marlee and Evan are Grandma's only great grandchildren, so we had their pictures taken while we were there. The boys both took good pictures, but not together! (Once I get the pictures, I will post them.) Evan also liked feeding the ducks and playing on the playground during our visit. We all had a great time visiting and hope to visit again soon.

Here is Marlee! He is so cute and super sweet!



Evan loved seeing Marlee and it looks like Marlee felt the same way!

I love you Marlee!



Evan wanted to help push Grandma in her wheelchair. He is so sweet and helpful!



Evan loved sitting in Grandma's lap while she played "This Little Piggy" with his toes. He laughed and laughed!

Florida Vacation for Mommy and Daddy

Carl and I recently took a trip to Florida. It was nice to have "us" time and time to relax and unwind. We walked on the beach each morning and enjoyed the sunset each evening. We went sailing and had lunch on the pier in St. Petersburg. The weather was nice and sunny each day. We had such a good time!

Evan stayed with his Granddaddy and Grammy for two days and then he stayed with his Grandpa and Bonnie Mom for two days. He had a lot of fun and got very spoiled! =) Carl and I missed Evan, but knowing he was also having fun made it a bit easier to be away from him.

This was the view from our room.



Our first picture on the beach.



Still in love!

Halloween Fun

It seems like we celebrated Halloween for weeks this year! We were very busy, but we had a great time! We started by going to Aunt Linda's house for her annual Halloween party. Evan had a great time in the bouncers and running around the yard with Jackson and Caleb. He also enjoyed eating the cookies Aunt Heather made. Carl and I took Evan into the haunted barn. Evan was not scared, but he was not a fan either. We had a great time, but unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures!

Our neighborhood also had a Halloween party. Evan LOVED it! He got to decorate a pumpkin, go down the inflatable slide, play in the bouncer, dance, ride in a horse drawn carriage, and walk in the costume parade. My favorite part of the party was watching Evan dance. He was SO funny!

Walking to the party!

Jumping in the bouncer!



Dancing!



Our church had a Halloween party too. Evan enjoyed seeing Jackson and Caleb. He had a great time playing games in the gym and of course, bouncing in the bouncers. He also enjoyed getting candy during trunk-r-treat.

Ready to play!



Playing the bean bag game.



Evan loved this funny game where he got to hammer golf tees into styrofoam. It sounds silly, but really liked it!



Evan liked playing with the remote controlled mice.



We ended our celebrating on Halloween night. Carl, Evan, and I had some friends over for dinner and a small party. We all had a great time! The kids bounced in the bouncer, went trick-or-treating, and played in the basement. I enjoyed seeing all of the kids in their costumes, even though most kids only wore them a short time.
