Merry Christmas!
Santa came to our Christmas eve party and Evan got to sit on his lap for the first time! He even tried to pull off Santa's beard!! If you look closely at his left hand, you can see the grip!
This was our favorite gift that we got! My brother and sister made a big Laker blanket for us and a smaller one for Evan! I'm sure this will be Evan's favorite blanket since he was born a Laker fan! Now we get to snuggle up and watch the Lakers win the championship! ;-)
This was the only gift we got Evan for Christmas...the Bumbo Seat!!! He's a little small for it now, but I'm sure he'll love it once his neck gets a little stronger!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas... WAIT...We don't have to dream!!!
The High Desert usually gets some snow about one time a year. But since I've lived here (over 2 years), I haven't seen any. Last Wednesday, it started snowing about 9AM and didn't stop until early Thursday morning. It was really neat to sit inside and watch our yard fill up with snow! We ended up getting about 7 or 8 inches of fresh powder...it was awesome!

Sean thought I was retarded when I tried to snowboard down our front yard...It didn't work very well, but I had to try! Haha! Come on...it's not every day we get snow like this!

Who needs the GYM???
(That red eye makes him look pretty scary! He looks like he belongs in the "Twilight" movie!)

The High Desert at its Finest!
I took this one yesterday of the thunderclouds that were rolling in. If you look closely, you can see some snow on Mountain High! YES!!! Snowboarding season is on its way!

Evan's First Vacation!
We got to go camping this last weekend in San Diego for a quick little vacation! We drove over the big bridge into Coronado and stayed at the Silver Strand. It is an awesome campsite right on the beach. Sean's parents were kind enough to let us crash in their RV. We watched the BYU football game, the 49er game, the Laker game, and just hung out and relaxed by the campfire. We also got to have dinner at our favorite mexican/seafood place called Rockin' Baja Lobster! Their lobster tail and shrimp are to die for! It was nice to get away! Here are some pictures of our trip...
Evan also had his 2 month check-up today and got 4 big scary shots! So sad!! He weighed in at 10 pounds 3 ounces and was 21 and a half inches long. He's still a little guy compared to other babies his age (25th percentile), but he's growing so that's good! The nurse said he just gets to be baby longer!

Evan's First Halloween!
Evan was a bumblebee for Halloween! We found his costume at Target and it was actually supposed to be for a dog! Haha!! It fit him pretty well since he is still so little! We took him Trick-or-Treating and made sure to tell the people that we were going to crush up the candy and put it in his bottle! Hey...Mommy eats the candy first and then Evan drinks Mommy's milk!

Happy 25th Birthday, Daddy!
I know I'm kinda late on this post, but Sean's birthday was on October 19th and Evan and I made him a birthday cake to celebrate! He's 25 now! Happy Birthday Daddy! (Evan was mesmerized by the candles...oooohhh!!)
Here are some more pictures that I thought I'd post...What they say is true...You always take a MILLION pictures of your first! Oh well...I guess we'll have that many more memories!!This is how I found him in his crib...too cute!
A little naptime with daddy!
Hanging out with Aunt Jill
Doing a little "Tummy Time"...he doesn't really like this, but his head is already flat from lying on his back so much! Hope it doesn't stay that way! ;-) (Look at his hairline...just like his Daddy's!)
So peaceful...
Bathtime! He actually kinda likes his baths! (Check out that Buddha belly!)

Our little man!
Here are some more pictures of our little man! He's so little...today Sean was worried that he was never going to grow and get bigger. I assured him that he WILL grow...and very fast!
He likes to put his hands up by his head while swinging...funny!
After his first sponge-bath
Look at those big feet!!
His first walk around the block
Look at those eyes...He looks like an alien!! A cute alien of course! haha!
His Halloween outfit from his aunt Juliette...she said he has to wear it throughout the whole month of October! He was 3 weeks old here!
Daddy burping him!
We took him to our favorite Mexican fast food restaurant in Downey...El Taco...YUM!!
Evan thinks he's too cool for pictures already!
Another pic of the halloween outfit
Two can play at this game...Sean caught me sleeping and demanded that I post this picture for payback! Not cool...but I love him!
