Me thinks he needs a new bed!

So this is my montage to my little Evan sleeping on the floor. Lately he prefers sleeping on the floor to the bed, as this is a daily occurrence in our house now. Almost every nap I find him in his favorite place, the little corner behind the rocking chair. And at night I find him either behind the rocking chair, in the rocking chair, by the closet or my favorite one is when he fell asleep under his bed :) I'm pretty sure he's outgrown his crib mattress as he is end to end on that thing, and I don't think they're made to sustain 30 plus pound children! Me thinks he needs a new bed! Well it's in the works buddy, you'll hopefully have a new bed soon!

Happy Anniversary!

We just celebrated our 7th anniversary! We went and got pedis, had some dinner and hit up a movie. After 7 years I can say that I know the secret to a good marriage..... HARD WORK :) Laugh a lot and love a lot! I can say through all the challenges we've had, especially recently, it's so great to have a husband as wonderful as Jarom who is willing to put in the work to make our marriage great. Now don't get me wrong, I have to put in the work too but that's what makes it great; if each person is willing to do what it takes. Not only does Jarom work hard at being a great husband and father, he literally works hard to provide for this family. He's such a great example to his son and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. Love you babe! And, he's totally secure in his manhood to go get a pedi with his wife for their anniversary :) And HOT too!

Is This Jarom Or What?!

Anyone who knows Jarom and has spent anytime around him will appreciate this picture of his little mini-me :)

Some new pics

Here are a couple pics from the camping trip that Evan and Jarom were able to go on with his cousins. Aren't they so cute?!

We had a wonderful visit with Grandma Sheri. Evan warmed up to her right away and was really sad when she left :( Thanks for coming to visit G'ma!

Here's a couple of pics of Evan with his new friend Alex. He's actually some sort of cousin or another :) Jarom's aunt and uncle's son. Evan and him became friends right away and Heidi got some great action shots of them jumping on the couch.

Crafty?

Ok, so those of you who know me know that I don't have a crafty, creative bone in my body so this was really hard for me!  But I'm determined to do it even if I'm not good at it.  So Evan's music teacher sent us home with a craft and my first thought was to huck it!  Then Haleigh was like, do we get to make those????  Dang!  I guess!  They turned out pretty cute and they had a good time which is all that matters.  In the words of my friend Lacey, we do it for the children  :)  Now, I'm kind of excited to see what she sends us home with next week!

Evan's writing!

Ok, so I know my kid's not a genius or anything but he can write an O!  He was drawing on his white board and he kept saying O mama, O.  And I was like yeah, buddy an o good job (totally not paying attention like a good mom!)  He just kept saying it over and over again, so I finally turned around and to my surprise he had actually written an O!  I was like good job buddy, do another one.  So he wrote a bunch more and then erased them and did a bunch more.  And if he drew an O, and the ends didn't match up he would scribble it out cause it wasn't good enough!  Uh-oh!  He's going to be just like me!  Yikes!  All the other scribbles you see, those are B, C, and E :)  Except the big one, that's an o he messed up!  He loves his letters!

Update!

So, for now, the bees are gone! Thank goodness! According to many people we've talked to the bees are very likely to return if the hive is not removed so we'll see. My property manager said if they come back then they will cut into the wall.
I finally feel like Summer is starting! And it's jam packed! Jarom and Evan are on their way back as we speak from a Father/Son campout. (Pictures soon to follow) Evan started swim lessons last week which he did soooo good at. He's always loved the water and never been afraid to go under. The teacher kept watching him for a reaction when I dunked him. I told her she could stop, he wasn't going to freak out :) She was very impressed :) And so was I! There were 2 other 2 year olds in his class that can straight up swim! That will be Evan soon I just know it :)
And this week he starts his music class, which i'm very excited for. I also signed him up for a mom and me cooking class next month which sounds fun. Haleigh is out of school this week so we'll be spending a lot more time with her which makes Evan sooooo happy :) Haleigh was so brave at the pool last week and went down the big water slide! She was so scared and came back down like twice but she finally did it and now she wants to go to the pool every day!!!! Chaundra and Haleigh are moving to the neighborhood next to us this next couple of weeks. We have one grandparent coming to visit this week. And another set of grandparents, and great grandparents in a couple weeks. We're very excited!!!! Busy, Busy, Busy!
