Cars, cars, cars....

We have been hitting the pavement the past few day and searching every car lot for the perfect vehicle for us. The problem is once we think we are making headway, we change directions. I don't even know what we are thinking anymore! We did take Evan on a test drive in a Kia Sorento and it was actually really nice. I have never had a car with navigation and we could see wrecks and traffic alerts right on the screen. The key less start was also pretty cool! Evan loved staring out of the huge double sun roof. I went on a quick drive in the Chevy Traverse (moving the car seat is just not fun!) and it was also nice. I was surprised at how big the inside really is and how easily I could drive what seemed like a big vehicle. It had amazing rear air which is one feature I am adamant about. Anyways, we still have no idea what we want to do. 

Mission Pacifier: Well, we went two straight days with no pacifier what so ever. However, last night, after Evan had only taken a 45 minute nap all day. We could not get him to bed. We tried rocking him, reading to him, singing to him. Basically you name it we tried it. He was getting so worked up in his crib he was sweating. Finally after about an hour and a half of us trying everything under the moon we gave him his pacifier. Of course, he went straight to sleep. He hasn't had his pacifier at all today and we don't plan on giving it to him again. Hopefully last night was just a quick set back and he will quickly forget about Mr. Pacifier. 

What a big boy!!

I need more sno cone!!!

Late Longiew Post!

Evan and his first taste of  S'mores. He didn't eat any of it. He was disgusted by the gooey marshmallow.

Evan being goofy after bath time!

Evan loving the butter and rolls at Texas Roadhouse! Why eat puffs when Nini will butter your rolls for you?? YUM!

Evan was such a good boy watching Mommy get a pedicure. As we were leaving the lady unexpectedly painted one of Evan's hands. I still wonder if she thought he was a girl. I guess we will never know. Evan was very confused by his fingers and kept looking at them in awe.

We had bad storms roll through on Wednesday night. Anyone that knows our house could have guessed it would knock our electricity out. The electricity went out at 2:30am and finally came back at 4:00pm. Evan loved to carry the lantern around so we could see. He was precious. At least someone doesn't need electricity to have fun!!

Evan got a toy egg for being so good a dinner. He watched a little dog dance around and then it gives an egg. He was so thrilled we had to give him THREE eggs!!

Evan had some hose/pool fun with his 'cousin.' It was a lot of fun to see the two interact. There is only 4 months between them, but they are two totally different kids. It was exciting to see where Evan will be in a few months! I hope we can get them together more often! They are too cute together!

Now, back from Longview, Evan and I went to see a movie together. It was Evan's first movie and he was pretty much as good as I could have asked him to be. He did want to run around and I did miss some of the movie following him around. Otherwise it went great. We went to see 'What to Expect When You Are Expecting.' It was a cute movie! I can't wait to actually see it when it comes out on Blu-ray.

Happy memorial day!

We had a great memorial day weekend! We started it off Saturday by going to the Rangers game. Boy was it hot! We lasted two innings in the sun and another two inning in the shade before we headed home. Evan took the heat like a champ, but mommy was TOO hot and got sunburned. Boo! We won't be going to another Ranger game this year because it will just be too hot. It's sad because we all really enjoy going to the games! By the way, the Rangers did win in the 13th inning with a walk off home run by Hamilton!

Sunday, Grammy and Pops came over for lunch. Evan had a blast, as always, playing with them. He received a new octopus that attaches to the hose. It looked like something that Evan would love, but he did not. Troy on the other hand thought it was the greatest toy ever. That is why it is no longer in one piece! 

Monday, whew, did we get a lot done. We went to look at some SUV's. We found a few we really like and now we just have to see where we can get the best deal. It is funny how looking at cars changes when you have kids. The most important features to me are now rear air and room for two car seats (and of course safety). Who knew? We also went to look at cribs, I know finally! We found a nursery set we really like. I am pretty sure we are going to purchase it, but we didn't want to jump the gun. It's so pretty and girly!! After all our errands we treated Evan to lunch out. He got to seat in a booster seat for the first time. BOY was that a mistake! Lets just say we will be waiting a little while longer before we move on to the booster. Anyway we got home, let Evan nap. and then Dad grilled us some yummy dinner! It was a great weekend and it flew by!

Look who we saw in our section!!

The Ranger game wore him out!

CLAW!!!

Happy he is 16 months!

Look!!

Why are you still making me take these pictures??

Cheese!!

Playing with his new octopus....sort of!
