Birthday Boy!

Birthday post and a few random recentness.  
 When did this boy suddenly start looking so big?  I mean, I just woke up one morning, and BAM!  Big Kid.  Like, not even little any more.  Well... I don't know.  Evan may like some help with a few things.
This is Evan's new hair-cut, new Easter outfit, and new SHOES!
Evan turned five on 3/14/13.  That's right, he was born on pi day.  I was kind of hoping to hold out for St. Patrick's Day but that didn't happen.  Here's Evan's birth story, if you're interested...
 Evan got this cute owl in Primary on Sunday.  He was really looking forward to that.

 Evan is my little gym buddy.  I'm training for another triathlon so I'll be hitting up the gym a lot more now and he's so good to always come along with me.  SOMETIMES he talks me in to going to the gas station for a treat afterward though.
 The weather has been so nice this week.  Don't worry, tomorrow's forecast is different.  Anyway, E and I snuck away to the park for a little while.
 He got some pretty sweet new shoes last weekend.  "But Daddy, I'm the Birthday Boy".  Yeah, this kid knows how to play us!

 So Jess recently went back to work from after Maternity Leave.  I'm so super excited that I get to watch her kids twice a week.  Going from two to four kids suddenly is a bit of a shock to the system, especially since one of them is a newborn and I haven't had one of those for FIVE YEARS, but I love it and wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY.  I'm so glad I get to spend some great quality time with my niece and nephew each week.  I always wanted more kids, but since that isn't going to happen, this is as good as it gets.  Maybe better!
 You know, Pintrest has some really cool things out there.  One of those is this awesome Balloon Avalanche.  I saw this about a week ago and really wanted to do it for Evan.  I was worried that Ryan would open the door before Evan so I put Ryan in the guest room.  Ha ha ha.  Colin helped me set this up and it was so much fun we were both excited about it.
 Anyway, here's Evan throughout the years.  It's fun to see how they change.


Happy Birthday Evan!  We Love you!

I seriously cannot believe Evan is 5! yikes. Where does time go?

On another note, I also saw the balloon avalanche on Pinterest and did it for Chandler (12) last month. He loved it and thought it the greatest thing ever!

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 but we got some amazing deals.  After we had

Baby Evan Makes his Arrival

Image
The nurses from Alta View called me yesterday to let me know that my c-section was scheduled for 7:30am, and that we needed to be at the hospital by 6:00am. So much for sleeping in! Grandma and Grandpa took Ryan last night so that we wouldn't have to drop him off before the crack of dawn. We arrived at the hospital this morning at 6:00 as directed and got all admitted. At about 7:00 they let us know that we were being bumped because of an emergency c-section that they needed to do ahead of us. At around 8:00 they took us back to the operating room. The anesthesiologist came in and did his thing. Colin was great to help me through the whole surgery process. Our baby boy was born at 8:26 am. He weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. He has dark hair but not tons of it and it's probably curly, I would guess. His name is Evan Miles Dean. We are both doing well and there will be more pictures to come! me- last day of pregnancy Jen waiting to go into surgery Colin wa

Evan's 10th Birthday!

Image
Our sweet Evan turned 10!  We had his birthday party for friends and family at Obstacle Warrior Kids in Sandy.  It is a new place and the kids had a great time getting their warrior on. I think the crowd favorite was "the wall"  and they all tried to get to the top many times.  I'm pretty sure they all conquered the wall at least once.  On Evan's actual birthday we had birthday waffles, dinner of pancakes (he likes breakfast I guess) and dessert at Last Course (another new place) in Draper.   We sure do love you, kid!
