Sunday Funday!
Sunday is my favorite day of the week! I wish I could say it always starts with church, but sadly is doesn't. We are hoping once Evan gets a little older it won't be quite so tough. We battle Evan sleeping t0o late and not wanting to wake him up, to Evan getting up TOO early and us wanting to get a little bit more sleep. Regardless, we all eat breakfast together down stairs and say our own prayers. Evan usually eats eggs and banana. I think it is one of his favorite meals! It is just a nice time to spend together as a family.
Mark always makes lunch! Usually a delicious burger, football food!! It is nice to get a break from making all the meals. Then we always have a FULL day of watching football. Mark and I both play fantasy football, so every game is usually important to one of us. Evan cooperates most of the time. One of us always plays with Evan while the other gives a play by play. Occasionally, Evan even watches the games with us. Most of the time he is more interested in his toys, the dogs, or most likely, dangerous objects. Sunday is nothing really special, but for some reason it holds a special place in my heart as family day. I love the quality of time we all spend together. Our family, the football family!!
As a side night, the one cord left, really hidden behind the couch, was found today. Evan somehow managed to get the cord to the six foot lamp. He pulled the cord and the lamp swayed back and forth. I thought he was a goner. Thankfully, I got the lamp, and pulled the cord away from Evan, needless to say there was a lot of crying when I took it away. Mark did his best to distract Evan, but all he wanted was the cord. What is with danger and this boy???
Oh big news!! I got a new computer today! Thank you Mark!!!! Hence all eight million blog post! Also, you will see pictures of Evan tasting his first baked beans. He loved them. I think he liked the juice of the beans better. He was 'painting' his high chair with beans. Well actually, he painted EVERYTHING. He somehow had beans in his diaper and his arm pits. How does that happen?? Another first for Evan today, he received his first balloon. We were at best buy and our nice sales associate noticed Evan staring at the balloons and gave him one. Evan could not have been happier!!

Remembering Mr. Peppermint
Saturday was a wonderful day of remembrance for an exceptional man, Jerry Haynes, my cousins' grandpa, better known as 'PeePaw.' So much could be said about it him, and it was. So go check this link out:
As sad as it is to get together over a death in the family, it sure was nice to see family! Evan got to meet Glenda for the first time. They had a blast eating french fries together!! Evan also got to meet Sidney for the second time. It was so cute to see the two together now that they both can comprehend more. The first time they met, Evan was about 3 weeks old and Sidney was 5 months, I think! This time Sidney was trying to give Evan kisses, why he just stared at her. Soon enough their age gap won't matter, but for now it is very interesting to see their different stages of development! Poor Evan got a little over whlemed being around so many people, but being around family is all worth it!

Baseball Friday!
Oh my oh my! Mark and I were so excited for the Rangers to reach the playoffs. We knew playing the Rays would not be easy, but we did not quite expect to get creamed by them!! Mark got off work a little early, Evan was dressed to the T's in his baseball gear, and we were ready to watch the game. We were VERY dissapointed in our Rangers! Oh well, we can't expect to win them all! Thankfully on Saturday the Rangers redeemed themselves.
On a side note, Evan is almost sleeping though the night again. I have a feeling he is getting pretty close. Right now, he is going to sleep around 7pm, waking up at 3am for a paci check, and then at 5 or 6am for milk breakfast. We just need to get past the 3am paci check. Usually he goes right back to sleep after you put his paci back in, but not always. Sometimes he will even play in his crib for a while before he falls back asleep. I would be a much happier mom if I got to sleep a straight 5 or 6 hours! Yeah I know I should go to bed earlier, but I can't usually fall asleep before 11! So sue me :)
I love my lil' guy!
