No...You're Great!

I haven't exactly been feeling the best (have a cold) and it hasn't been a fun one. I was not wanting to wake up the other day until I glanced over on my night stand and found this little note from Evan. Within seconds, I was ready for a new day with my WONDERFUL family.

So here are a few of the reasons (lately) why I think you are so great!!

You're great Evan because you are so in tune to my feelings and always know what to say to make me feel better.

You're great Lindsay! - because your choice of clothing already makes me smile...

a swimsuit over your clothes.

Whatever makes you happy, makes me happy!

***

You're great Julie! - for finding the perfect Valentine gifts to give away

...cake pops...yum, yum.

Don't they look so cute?

Extra's in a bowl.

***

You boys are great! - for building forts out of blankets.

It's even okay that grown-ups are not allowed.

***

Watching America's Funniest Home Videos with the kids is always great. Even Lindsay loves to watch and yells "doggie" every time an animal shows up on the screen!

You're great Nathan! - for letting the kids waller all over you during AFV.

***

You're great Evan! - because you did such an AWESOME job at the school Folk Dance Festival.

Here he is in the white shirt walking into the gym.

Marching...

very glad they paired him with a tall girl

(I was always one of those tall girls with the short boys).

Round and round...

Chicken Dance

You're great Austin! - for trying to get in on the action.

Thanks Evan for telling me I'm great but really...I'm not the one who's great...YOU ALL ARE and I love you so much!!

Birthday, Batman, and a Big Mouse (well, okay...Chuck E Cheese)

Evan is 6 years old!!

We got these pictures taken 1 day after Evan's 6th Birthday. Evan is the sweetest person in our family. He is so eager to learn and quick to make friends. He is sensitive, loving, funny and wonderful in every way!! I am so glad Evan is in our lives and so proud to be his mother. I don't know what I did to deserve him!!

Happy Birthday Evan (a week late)!! We LOVE you!!

If you look closely, you can see his missing tooth.

For Evan's class at school we made Batman cupcakes.

We had a family birthday party at Chuck 'e' Cheeses. Evan posing with Chuck.

My wish...that ALL your wishes come true!

Since it's been so long since I last posted, I figured I'd throw in some more pictures. We had a fun day sledding. It was great for Nathan to finally have a day off work!!

Lindsay enjoyed sleeping in her toasty snow clothes verses actually being in the snow. I hear ya girl. Bring on the sunny, warm days!

And there they go...

Christmas 2009 - Family shot

We had a fun Christmas Eve with Grandma Lyn (all the cousins).

The present that Evan got Austin. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for taking the kids Christmas shopping to buy presents for each other.

Santa brought a fun swing set for our back yard. The kids go out almost every day just to play...no matter how cold it is. Later that day we went to grandpa and grandma's house and enjoyed the rest of our Christmas.

Yeah!!!
