Hat Buddies

The other day I was trying all day to get Evan to wear this cute hat he got for his birthday, but he was not having it. I was so sad because it was so cute. You would think he would be okay with it because he sees Garrett wearing one every single day, but he wasn't.
Anyway, when Garrett got home he took him into the bathroom in front of the mirror and showed him that if he kept the hat on he would be wearing one just like daddy was. Well after that, Evan didn't try to take the hat off again for the rest of the day. How cute is that!

Hat buddies!
I love this pic. Garrett took this, trying to be artistic.

Fall Fun


I have been feeling a little bit crafty lately, I think because I just got into pinterest, but here are a few things I've made recently.
Gotta love the block letters!
Halloween wreath
Yummy dessert. It's a chocolate chip cookie on bottom, them peanut butter, nuts, M&M's and icing on top. It was heaven!

Evan is 1!!!

I can't believe Evan is one year old! I know every mom says that but seriously, where did the time go? Having Evan in our lives this past year as been the most amazing thing. He brings so much joy and laughter into our home because he is so crazy and fun. We had his birthday party today at Garrett's dad's club house. It was quite the party. Just about all the family was there, from both sides. It's always pretty crazy when my family is there, but we love it. Evan got spoiled to death. He got tons of clothes and lots of fun toys. Here is a little update on Evan:




- is now completely off formula and bottles (Hallelujah!)

- love, love, loves his daddy. More than mommy but it's ok

- hates elephants

- is not walking yet

- has four teeth

- is terrible at taking naps

- loves Hot Wheels cars

- goes to bed at 7 and wakes up at 8 (most of the time)

- is in a forward facing car seat and LOVES it

- loves going for walks with his friend Kade

- talks constantly but it never makes any sense

- weighs 21 lbs

- wears size 3 shoes and 12mo clothes


Here are some pics. from the party:



This is a terrible picture because I waited until the table was destroyed before I remembered, but I wanted to get one of the decorations. I had a picture of Evan at every month from the past year as part of the center piece. It was cute at one point, I promise.
The cake!

This was the highlight of the party. He loved it!


Wasn't so sure about it at first...


I made his onesie to match his daddy.


He absolutely hated his party hat.




He didn't get the whole unwrapping thing.. We'll have to work on that so he will be ready for Christmas!







Halloween

This Halloween was pretty uneventful. Garrett had school so Evan and I went to our wards Trunk-or-Treat. Since I don't really want Evan to eat candy, we didn't go trick-or-treating, we just visited with or friends in the ward. When Garrett got out of class we went over to his brother's house and hung out for a while. Evan loved his costume! He was the cutest little froggy ever!!
