Happy Birthday Boys!!!

Today is Carson and Ethan's birthdays. They are growing up way too fast. It's actually really nice to celebrate their birthdays on the same day. It makes life so much easier for us. I wonder how it will be when Payton has her own day and they have to share. Carson is all about everything being fair.

We started a tradition last year of decorating their doors for their birthdays. My mom did it for me when I was growing up and I loved it, so I thought I would carry the tradition on to my children. We even did breakfast in bed for them this morning. Carson thought he was so cool. I love to watch the expressions on their faces when they open their presents to find the present they really wanted. This year I got a little ambitious and made them their own mini cakes. That way they didn't have to share a cake. The only downfall to sharing a birthday is trying to make it special for each of them.

Happy Birthday Boys!

My Crazy Kid

Ethan is my funny & crazy kid. He loves to dress up and put strange outfits together. Either he can't coordinate his clothes or he does on purpose to get a rise out of us, I'm not sure which it is. Either way it's pretty funny. Her are some of his latest creations. This time he dressed Payton up too. Thanks for keeping us in stitches Ethan. I love you.

Milan's Birthday

Happy Birthday Milan!

Today is Milan's birthday and I can't believe he is another year older, I better not reveal his age in case he cares. Time has sure gone by fast. I swear we were just in our 20's. Where have the years gone? I remember when I used to think that people in their 30's were so old. Now that I'm in my 30's, I can say that I am not old, or at least I don't feel old. In my mind I am only 20 something, although sometimes my body reminds me that I'm not as young as I used to be.

I am really grateful for Milan. He is a wonderful husband and father and our kids adore hime, especially Payton who already has him wrapped around her little finger. Thanks Milan for all you do for us. Happy Birthday.

Give Thanks

We have many reasons to give thanks this year, but this week we are thankful that Grandpa and Grandma Evans came to visit us. Grandma has been busy, she made Payton a beautiful sweater and matching hat and taught the boys how to sew and make pillows. She has also been busy crocheting socks for Payton and making things for my friend Carrie's baby as well. We love Grandma.

Aaron and Becca also came and stayed a few days with us. Becca finally got to see and hold Payton, while Uncle Aaron wrestled with the boys. We are so thankful to have family close by, they live only an hour away from us. We hope to see them often.

We wanted to make that no one was bored while at our house, so Milan gave his Dad a honeydo list to keep him busy. They may never come back to visit, but at least we got our fans up.

Milan put up lights with the help of his Dad and sons, probably a little more help than he wanted, but hey they look good.

We have been wanting to go to Lake Lavon which is about 15 minutes from our house and to see the Dallas temple. So we decided to have a sight seeing day. We also drove past South Fork for all of you fans of the show Dallas. One of these days I'll have to go on a tour there.

We are very thankful for all of our wonderful family and friends. In some way you have each touched our lives and made us who we are. We are truly blessed. We love you all!
