Evan's Keepin' Up

Evan loves to hang out with the big boys. He thinks he is a big boy. Here he is below eating hot dogs with Sam and Tavi at San Onofre Beach. As you'll see from the video, he has also gotten quite fast on the balance bike.














I also wanted to share a couple of memorable things the boys said recently:

When Joe asked Sam, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Sam replied, "An Aweean."

"An Alien!!"

"Yes, I want to be an Aweean."

Here's a couple on Evan:

When asked how old he is, Evan consistently and confidently answers, "Eight!"

He also loves to exclaim "I did it!" after picking up his toys, getting into the car seat by himself, taking his shoes off, reaching for his water bottle in the van, etc. etc.

October (so far)


Evan and Teo. Teo is Tavi's little brother who gets to play at our house while the big boys are at school.

Evan with his friend Amelia at the Santa Ana Zoo.


Still at the Zoo driving the Safari Jeep.




We actually made it to Disneyland! Luckily we got in free because the rain was pouring and the boys were scared. FYI: The Buzz Lightyear ride is a little much for four year olds and way too much for two year olds.



Sam flying high on the only ride that didn't make him nervous.



Keep it simple....right! This is at a park across from the hotel we were staying at in Ventura. Joe got to take the family along for a surfing event he was covering there for SUP Magazine. The boys love to stay at hotels. Sam calls our hotel room, "Our little house." And of course the boys are fascinated with the t.v., the pool, and the breakfast buffet (this hotel had Lucky Charms:).



This is a beautiful and gigantic Fig Tree from Australia planted in the 1800's. The boys had fun climbing on the roots. While playing, we had to watch out for falling figs.



As you may have already noticed from the photos we have had a lot of grey, marine layer days here on the coast in So Cal. A lot for here that is. This last shot is one overlooking what we could see of the Ventura coastline.


Ok sisters (Summer not included)....I am ready to see some more posts! Get back on the blogwagon please. Emily you should start one as well so that we can see a little glimpse of life in Seattle. Love and miss you all!
