Afternoon at the Circus

We went and saw the Kelly Miller Circus ,from Oklahoma, in White Settlement for spring break, and it was actually pretty decent. They had a ring leader with clowns, tigers, elephants, trapeze, dogs doing tricks, juggling and more. My nephew Jacob got to ride on an elephant named Lucy. It was dark in there so the pictures are not that great, but we had a really nice time, and we will sure see them again when they come back through town.

Spring Time

We have had a very exciting spring so far. With all the nice weather, we went to Home Depot to get stuff for landscaping and Evan got to ride in his first cart. It was a bit windy that day. We also did some swinging.. and of course had to share a photo of his St.Patricks day outfit.

Family Day

Now that Evan is 6 months old, it's a lot easier taking him out. Since it was nice weather this weekend we went to the Fort Worth Zoo. It was a bit crowded, but we had a really great time. Here are a few photos of some of the big animals and of Evan at the zoo. Evan's favorite thing about the zoo was the waterfalls in the exhibits and the people watching.

Our Little Valentine

Today we made a little studio and took some pictures to send in our valentines day cards and because Evan is 5 months old already. This is one where he actually smiled.

Happy Valentines Day!

First Video

Last night after Evan finished his peas, he was in a great mood. Jasen was making him laugh so I thought I would try to video it on my camera. Hopefully we will be investing in a video camera, but for now its just a trial run, and its not good quality and really bad lighting!

Christmas Time

We just celebrated our first Christmas and New Years as a new family. Evan got lots of new toys to play with and books to read. The three of us had a great holiday with all our family and friends. As for New Years Eve, Evan didn't stay up to see the ball drop but did wake up 30 minutes later to the sounds of fireworks in our neighborhood. Gosh, next Christmas Evan will be walking! Here are some pictures of Evan somewhat enjoying his first Christmas.

3 Months

Evan turned 3 months on Dec 4th and the day before he learned to rollover and can hold his head up. Now we have to keep an eye on him all the time so he doesn't roll his face flat on the floor, but at least he isn't just laying there like a stiff. Now only if he will learn to sit up. Here is a picture holding his head up and his love of Tony Romo.
