Congrats Evan!!

I was so excited to see that Evan was voted Fan of the Day by the Texas Tech Athletic Department. So for any of you that didn't see it. Here is his picture! I love my red raider!!!

Anyway. Sunday, we put Evan in all his Cowboy gear. He has a ton thanks to my obsessed, cowboy fan, mom! We love it all of course! So, I took a lot of pictures of him in it. Don't worry, next Sunday I am sure I will have more. (Since it is a day game Evan will actually get to watch the game!) Stupid Romo lost the game for us, but otherwise I thought the Cowboys looked pretty good. We should have won the game. Enough about that.

Monday, Evan and I got a chance to go eat lunch with Daddy. We had burgers! They were yummy. Evan had a few bites and a few french fries. Shame on me, I know! Of course, he thought they were delicious!

Today, Troy finally jumped in the bath tub with Evan. I knew it would happen sooner then later because he tries to get in almost every bath. Evan didn't really want Troy in there. He didn't cry, but he kept looking at me like 'this is my bath, why is that dog in it?' Tonight, Evan had his first meal with mommy and daddy. Sure he eats dinner with us every night, but tonight he ate exactly what we ate. He LOVED it. He was lickin' his fingers and searching for more. For dinner we had Italian Chicken, green beans, and potatoes. I think he favorite was the chicken, so much better than chicken paste.....

Dallas finally broke the record for most days over 100 degrees. We have had 70 days and it looks like it will continue tomorrow. The high today was 106 and normally it is only 89 this time of year. We are so ready for the heat to be gone and some rain to come. We need the rain!!

Mess maker, mess maker,

make me a mess! (anyone, name that tune??) Well, my little baby is officially a trouble maker. I can't trust him anywhere. He always goes out in the pram to help me put the diaper on and get them off the line. Usually he would just sit there and look around enjoying the fresh air. Well, Thursday I bend over to put a diaper in the pram and he is STANDING in the pram. What the heck? He isn't suppose to be doing that. I thought he was going to fall out and nearly had a heart attack. No more pram for this guy!

Friday, Evan somehow maneuvered himself to our DVD holder. He does this weird roll, sit, roll combo to get where he wants to. Not a crawl, but gets the job done. Anyway, he got to the DVD holder, slid open the door, and began taking out each DVD one by one. Eventually he had a nice little pile. I watched him do it in horror. How is my little guy big enough to get into so much trouble?? I guess it is now time to baby proof the house.

Saturday was a great day! Grammy and Pops came over to enjoy a nice lunch with us. Grammy made some delicious banana pudding and Evan even had a bite. He seemed to enjoy it. Who wouldn't?? Evan had a great time with Grammy and Pops. He always does! Tonight, Evan tried to stand ALL BY HIMSELF. He was playing with a toy and the next thing we know he is standing on the toy, then he just stands up and lets go. Standing and then falling to his heiny! He does this two or three time in a row. (Lucky me, I can get pictures!!) We knew he could pull himself up quite well, but to stand up on a toy, then LET GO! Boy this kid is brave!

We are very excited for tomorrow. Start with church in the morning, then an afternoon filled with football, a visit from aunt Mandy, and the Cowboys game (in his Cowboys diaper!!!) to end the night! Can't wait!!!!

Gotta love

this cooler weather. It is so nice outside. The highs are in the 80's and the lows are in the 50's which is below average for this time of year. Now if only we could get some rain. I feel like half of Texas is on fire. I have family all over Texas, so it really scares me when I hear of new fires popping up. Thankfully, we haven't had any issues with fires in our area. I just want some rain for Texas!!! On a more up beat note, Evan has pulled up to a stand again. He is getting really strong. I still just can't believe he can do it. He still isn't crawling. He just rolls, scoots, and sits. A weird way to get around, but whatever works!

And the victory bells will ring out!

We had a wonderful, Tech filled weekend!

Thursday, Evan and I drove up to Lubbock with Nini. It was a really long trip, but Evan was great. I am so thankful that he does so well in the car. That night, Evan tried his first sopapilla! Of course, he loved the sugary goodness.

Friday, Nini and I went searching for Tech apparel. Evan didn't have any tech clothes that still fit him, so we had to get him some new ones. We also took the chance to walk around the Lubbock mall. I 'wore' Evan and he had a blast. He got the chance to look around and eventually fell asleep! Sometimes I wonder why I was blessed with such a wonderful, calm, well behaved baby! I am sure the two's will make up for it!!

Friday night, Evan, Nini, Great Aunt, and I, all went out to eat. Let me just say it was a very interesting night. Evan, 'Mr. I am going to get into everything' was a pain! He tried grabbing knives, forks, menus', food! We gave him little bits of food and for whatever reason he kept gagging on EVERYTHING. Needless to say, that dinner took about 4 years off my life. All is well though because Evan is a trooper and showed us that we are just silly, worry warts!

Saturday, GAME DAY! We started the morning off by taking a million pictures of Evan on the Texas Tech campus! He didn't want to smile and was tired, but still did pretty well! We took him home after that for a nap. We had hoped to make it up to the stadium for a little bit of tailgating, but barely made it in for the kick off! Welcome to life with a baby! Unfortunately, bad weather was on the way and what comes before bad weather in West Texas? Dust! A dust storm hit us, but we toughed it out. Then, the light rain came, and the 9-10 Texas State score. We left a half time feeling defeated. Thankfully, Evan and the Red Raiders felt rejuvenated! Tech won 50-10!! Evan enjoyed his first game! He is our little Red Raider!!! Guns up!
