Happy Birthday Evan!

This year Evan had a hard time deciding between a Cars (Lightening McQueen) birthday and an OU Football party. When he saw the cake pan for the Cars cake he quickly changed his mind. I absolutely loved celebrating my son, however I did feel a bit of sadness as I watched him blow out his three candles. Another year older. This is all happening way too fast. It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing home our sweet little boy. (I can imagine that this is a feeling that I won't be shaking anytime soon... and it may just reappear every year at about this time).

Lauren is such a good big sister. I love the way that she always wants to take care of Evan. I was in the middle of swinging Evan and she moved me over, "Um, Excuse me Mom. This is my job now". (Well, okay then).

It didn't take long before all of the cousins began to arrive.



We just had a small birthday party with all bajillion of Evan's cousins... all under 4 years old.



This concentration tongue is hereditary... he gets it from his Dad.

This look of concentration is also hereditary.... I claim this look. I also have the traffic tickets to prove it (my high school years... I grew up). We set the speed governer as LOW as it would go... I don't want ANYTHING to happen to my baby.

I can't believe how fast he is growing up!!!
