Summer is HERE!!!
It has been a long winter for the Evans family and now Summer is here! Daddy's little helpers were ready to drive the boat- Ethan likes to go fast... Cullen not so much! Long days on the boat- movies at night in our pjs- and lots of family time! So for the next 2 months you can find us at Evans Street in Morehead City!
end of school
Ava's last day of school was Thursday- we have counted down for the past 4 weeks! The day ad come and she was so excited but when I picked her up she was sad. She has amazed me this year! Her writing is wonderful and the stories she comes up with amazes me. She has already written 2 books on her own (keep in mind they are only a few pages long but it has a beginning, middle and end, her reading and artwork is outstanding- see pics below-And I can't forget to mention the award she got for the year was Personal Excellence. Nathan and I are so proud of our Ava Grace- She is going to do great things!
Ethan Wallace... my sweet, sweet Ethan Wallace Graduated from Preschool- He was excited- When Nathan asked him what he was going to do now he does not have school, Ethan replied "Sleep in"..... Ethan was asked if he got 1 million dollars what would he buy ... he said "a house", and when he grows up he wants to be a painter (like his Papa)! Ethan received the Kind hearted award at school. No surprise there. We are so proud of Ethan too- this past year he has really come out of his shell- We can't wait to see the great things E man will do!
"Big Papa's"
Lately Ethan has been talking about big muscles- He wants to have big muscles like daddy- so Ethan has been picking up Nathan's weights and "working out"! The other day Ethan asked Nathan if he wanted to see his "Big Papa's" and then he flexed--- it was so funny b/c Ethan was very serious. Last night we went to the ice cream shop and the lady said "I'll give an extra scoop to the fellow with the big muscles". (this was out of the blue b/c we don't even know this lady) Ethan's eye's lite up- when we got in the car and Nathan said "Ethan, how did she know you had big muscles?" and Ethan's response... (because she saw my Big Papa's)!
"Kid day"
The other night we were looking on Ava's calendar and she noticed how many "days" there were- Mother's Day, Father's Day, Flag Day, Memorial Day etc. the next morning I went in her room to fold clothes and I noticed this....
guess she decided Kid's Need a day too. So it is official tell your children June 3rd is Kid Day!
there's no place like home
i heard this song that Miranda Lambert sings called "the house that built me"- i just love this song b/c it makes me think of my home where i grew up- it seems when the world is falling apart I can just go back home and it makes it all better even for just a few min.- sitting in my chair I sat in beside my dad every meal- walking in my bedroom where there were lots of laughs, tears, dreams and happiness- sitting on the couch remembering all the talks I had with my family- just to go back home makes everything better!
my ethan wallace
I love this little boy- he is so sweet and kind hearted and would never hurt a fly!
The other day Ethan had found a worm and he was talking to the worm and gave the worm a name "wormie"- and then Cullen came over and Ethan was showing Cullen Wormie and Cullen looked at the worm and then stepped on it has hard as he could- Oh poor Ethan- he cried and said he was going to pray for Wormie so he could go to heaven.
Ethan has fallen in love with one of the kittens- Nathan and I originally said we were not keeping any kittens but watching Ethan with this kitten we could not stand to give it away. Ethan goes to get the kitten every morning and puts it in his lap. He has named the kitten Mr. Fuzzy Pants. And when the kitten would cry Ethan would meow like a cat. He does it so good I thought it was the mommy cat. The kitten would stop crying and now when Ethan gets him/her- it lays right in Ethan's lap and is so happy-
Ethan will be 5 in less than 2 months and he is so excited. He keeps asking "when I am 5 how old will Ava be?" He thinks one day he is going to be older than her-
