Evan's Car Wash

Evan loves the garden hose.  In fact, he washed my car last week (no pictures, I couldn't leave him alone to go get the camera - he's a "darter" at times).  Yesterday, he washed Mike's truck for him.  It was so cute.  He takes the work seriously.  (He even helped Daddy spray some of the leftover mulch off of the cement.)

This Week...

This week we played cowboys (on Brownie the horsey)....

We did "my work " with the cans in the pantry.......we played "Pirates" with Mom's sashes and bandanas.....

...we stopped at the chicken on the highway to take a picture for Miss Alea...

...and ate lunch with Ti.......and dinner with Ti, and Papa.......and Mimi (and Aunt Lou Lou - not pictured)......and went to a friend's house to play while Mommy helped decorate a birthday cake...

It's been a good week. 

SUMMER!

Mike and I just finished our school years yesterday - it's summer! Whoo-hoo! Sorry we've been gone for a couple of weeks - our computer had a virus. We're back up and running now, so I've posted some pictures of what Evan's been doing lately.

Evan likes wearing his baseball helmet and riding on his "motorcycle."

Evan's eating corn.  He love's it.More corn.

Watch out - here comes Evan!

Evan was playing "Supervisor" when Daddy was spreading mulch the other day.

We've been playing on the deck in the kiddie pool.  Here's Evan and his cousins that are already 3.  He had a blast the other day with them.

This is Evan playing "Superhero" with a hooded towel and a pool fun noodle - too funny!

Train Museum

We went to the Train Museum in Noblesville today.  We were going to go on Evan's birthday, but that coincides with Father's Day this year, and it's supposed to be busier because there's a car show in town.  We went, it was hot (note the pink cheeks), and we had fun.  We got to ride a caboose for about 20 minutes.  Evan was over it near the end (motion sickness maybe?), but we went out for ice cream at Alexander's which made it all better.  :)

Brownies

While I was on the computer after work  (for about 5 minutes), Evan quietly scooted himself up to the range and found the brownies I had baked for school today.  When I walked in the room, he said, "Mommy, brownies are dee-wish-us (delicious)."  I had to laugh and take a picture - it was too cute to scold.

Potty Training - Boot Camp

We gave potty training the third try about 10 days ago.  A friend of mine at work gave me a book that worked with his son, so we decided to give it our best shot.  What do you know?  We now have a kid that goes potty!  Here are some pictures of Evan wearing his underpants (they make boxer/briefs for toddlers) and receiving prizes after he filled his sticker charts.  He actually just earned his trophy today because he stayed dry all day yesterday at home and all day today at the sitter's.  (The one picture of Evan in the doorway is water from the dishes on his underpants - not an accident.)

Evan's First Race

Anyone that's ever seen Evan in action knows that he LOVES to run.  Alea (by BFF) and I did a 5K yesterday at our alma mater (IPFW).  We signed Evan up for the 100 meter dash.    Alea gave him a pep talk, and off he went.  Take a look at the close-up picture of him - it looks like he's floating!   He even got his first ribbon.  It says "Participant" - how exciting!
