Evster

It seems like every kid gets a nickname somehow spontaniously. I called Ryan RyRy from pretty early on and for some reason, I've stared calling Evan "Evster". I don't know where it came from, but I like to call him that. Ryan gets nicknames like Ry, Bubba, and Mister. Evan gets Evster, E, and Mr. Magoo. I love my boys! Here are some more recent ones of Evan. I've been trying to get him smiling on camera but he's not a huge fan of the red-eye-eliminator followed by the big flash, I've gotten plenty of strange faces resulting. what was that light?
he he... look at me
looks like Grandpa Ed in this picture
what?
yea!

that's as close to capturing a smile that I've come as of yet

ah, Sunday afternoon naps, ya gotta love 'em

this is what Evan looks like to me
this is the best pic to show what he really looks like

Now he's just a DARLING! We call Keiler Kei, but Cam calls him Kei-Kei...IDK where he got that from but it's pretty cute. Oh Buddy is on there too. Don't they grow so very fast?

I am glad to know I'm not the only one who ends up with nicknames for their kids. I have done that, especially with Brent and I don't know why but then Ethan starts saying it to and it's really funny. Your boys are adorable!

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
