Jolly Old Saint Nick





So Evan saw Santa for the first time yesterday. He didn't quite know what to think of the guy...
Perhaps he was trying to figure out if that beard was really real....
Or if he really was as old as they say....
...he reaches his conclusion...I don't know how he knew that that wasn't the real Santa

But it was still a fun night

First Hair Cut





So, Evan's hair was getting WAY too long. People kept saying to me, "Oh, your daughter is so cute!". I think to myself, "Really, if I had a daughter, would I dress her in dinosaurs???" But I of course being the non-confrontational person I am would say, "Thanks..." So I thought it was high time we got his hair cut. We went down to Kansas City for the weekend to visit family and we actually went to the same barber that gave Jeremy his first hair cut! I was interested to see how Evan would handle somebody cutting his hair, but as you can see...

He was totally content..........The secret?

"Finding Nemo".
He's watching it on the laptop.
And now he looks like a boy!

blah blah blogging!







Guess who's bloggin'! Finally. I'm jumping on the band wagon. It usually takes me awhile to jump on, but when I do I love it. It was that way with Harry Potter and the twilight series. So, hopefully blogging ends up being as dog-eared and page worn as my Harry Potter books.






I must first blog about Evan's first birthday! He turned one on October 23rd of this year. I made him a car cake which I was very proud of. I'm not usually this domestic. This is a sign that I may start to quilt, or make pajamas or even..............cook dinner!
The windshield and rear window are air heads and the side windows are flattened star bursts. The wheels are reeses peanut butter cups and the head lights and tail lights are mentos with tootsie rolls for the bumbers. It was a lot of fun to make and even more fun for Evan to eat!



He got to open presents, although he didn't really know what presents were, so we kind of had to open them for him. But once they were open he had lots of fun! He got a ball, a pillow pet and an activity table, along with some badly needed clothes.

Grandpa and Grandma Goodson were there along with Aunt Heidi and Uncle Justin and all their kids! It was a lot of fun.

That same day was also the ward primary halloween activity. For the first time, Evan got to dress up for halloween! Last year he was kind of just laying there. So we dressed him up as a President of the United States and Jeremy and I were his secret service. It was fun! You can't really see Evan's outfit (which is a shame because it took me forever to assemble everything) but he has a lapel presidential sticker, and a blazer and tie on. His stroller is his motorcade.
