Evan's 1st Birthday

Evan turned ONE on Saturday. We kept things pretty low-key for Evan's Birthday, but had fun nonetheless. Aunt Katie came over for cupcakes and dinner. We sang him, "Happy Birthday", and let him eat his three cupcakes, yes this kid can eat! He got a card in the mail from Nana and Grandpa Bruce. Grandma and Grandpa stopped by with some Tonka trucks and a swimming set for him as well. That was pretty much it. Today Jess gave him Pinocchio on DVD and we had some more cupcakes at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Evan is a ton of fun to have in our family. He's gaining quite the personality and keeps us all pretty well entertained. He's walking everywhere now-a-days. He loves to chase Ryan around wherever he's running off to at the moment. Recently, he's into cell-phones. He'll pick one up and hold it up to his ear and just jabber away like he's having a conversation with someone. He's learning a few little words. He can say baba= bottle, Dada, Mama, and ba= ball. I finally let him wean from nursing and although I thought I wasn't ready, he's done absolutely fine. I'm trying to get him converted over to cows milk and he's taking to it pretty easily. He is also working on his third and fourth teeth. We have his 12 month check-up soon so I'll have to update with the measurement statistics when I know them. Here are some pictures from Evan's 1st Birthday. Sorry that some of them are a bit redundant.

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.  ...
