The whole Evans crew!
Just the girls...and Blake.
Aunt Marci and Uncle Adam with their very favorite nephews! Carson was NOT in the mood for pictures. If you said anything about a picture he'd turn his head the other way. Blake complied as long as he could suck on his finger.
Uncle Adam + Carson = Best Buddies
Blake enjoying the Christmas lights at his level.
Carson was very excited to go visit Santa this year. Blake just couldn't get over his white beard - he sat and stared. Carson told Santa he has been a good boy and that he wants a Glow Station and a big boy bike. Santa asked what color bike he wanted, so Carson looked down to think, saw Santa's pants and then said, "Red." It was actually pretty funny because Carson wouldn't look at Santa at all! He spoke to him looking straight ahead.
Last year my parents started a fun tradition for our family Christmas party. We go on a horse drawn hayride up and down the streets while caroling. So fun! All of the kids (minus Blake) absolutely love it. Blake pretty much screamed the entire ride. Oh well. Maybe he'll enjoy it next year! Christmas this year is considered the "off" year in our family, so we were short nine grandchildren and ten adults. Thanks Mom and Dad for an evening of fun! Any get together with my family is never dull that's for sure!
I got Blake out of the tub today, got him lotioned up, diapered and clothed. I went to put his jammies away and I heard Carson yell, "Mama, Blake is back in the tub!" Sure enough he hopped right back in with Carson fully clothed. I couldn't help but laugh. Apparently he wasn't ready to get out. He played again for a bit. Carson helped get him and every inch of his clothes really wet and then we got ready again for the day.
Happy Birthday, Blake!
You won't want to miss this fabulous boutique! Over 40 vendors with darling stuff!
Matt is channeling his inner Paul Teutel Sr. from Orange County Choppers. Today Carson keeps saying, "I hope dad wins his whisker contest at work today." Good luck, Matt! We hope you bring home the prize! 
If you asked Carson what he was going to be for Halloween he'd tell you, "a strong super hero with a lot of muscles." 
A quick family shot before we headed off for the Halloween parties. Carson was a super hero and Blake was a dinosaur.
My parent's ward has an annual Halloween party, so all the kids that live here get together so the cousins can trick or treat together. It's always lots of fun! Annie came from California with Cohen this year. After trick or treating we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house for spider cupcakes (as if the kids didn't already have enough sweets). I think Liza won for best adult costume. She was octo-mom. She had babies strapped all over her body. Hilarious.
Carson eating his cotton candy which he called "rotten candy." So funny.
A few weeks ago my friend had a little Halloween bash for the kids! She always goes above and beyond for these events. Carson and Rome were too busy destroying her house, but she did get this cute shot of Blake. This sitting position is SO very Blake!
This is Blake before getting dressed for church on Sunday. He's been a little cranky lately. In his defense his first tooth finally broke through. Can I get a hallelujah!? He also debuted his walking skills last night. He has taken a step here and there, but last night I got it on video! He will be cruisin' around and getting into everything in no time. Time for cabinet locks!
Carson has had a rough few days. He scraped up his neck and back the other day AND burned his hand on our panini press. Is it just my child or does every three/almost four year old never want to wear clothes? He was sporting the above ensemble (if we can call it that) the other day. I asked him, "Why are you dressed like that?" His reponse,"My father taught me." Oh, of course. That's Carson's response for everything. I'm positive Matt didn't teach him to run around in his undies and put Batman pajamas on his head. He definitely wins points for making me laugh. Back to Carson scraping his neck and back. How'd he do that? Well, he climbed up on the kitchen counter and was trying to get some chocolate. He'll tell you this whole story. I hope he learned his lesson.

It's never too early to be thinking about holiday gifts! If you know someone who isn't using Scentsy - let's convert them to Scentsy this season!
We are home from New York and Boston. We had a wonderful time. Pictures and a run down of events are in the works. The above picture was taken by Kapri when she had the boys over while we were away. So funny. I keep laughing. We are happy to be home. I definitely missed my boys!
Plymouth Rock
I apologize for uploading so many pictures! I just can't decide which darling one to leave out. I'm sure this won't be the last post either. Kapri keeps sending me more that I love!
I've said it before and I'll say it again....I love having boys. These two just make me happy!
This handsome and funny boy will be four next month! Seriously? He amazes us everyday with his wit, smarts and humor. 
Yes, I'm his mother and totally biased, but this kid is baby model material! I seriously cannot get enough of him. He is still the sweetest and happiest baby. Little Bean, I love you. Happy 10 months next week! 
Last week Matt headed out with my dad to fly fish in Farmington, New Mexico. The San Juan River in New Mexico is world famous for fly fishing. Matt had a great time with my dad and they actually caught lots of fish! That always makes for a good fishing trip, right? It was all catch and release, so no, we won't be eating any of those bad boys. Whew!
Carson is quite the little swimmer. Matt just sent me this video and I had to laugh. His dive is hilarious. Where does he get this stuff? Watch out Michael Phelps! This little guy will give you a run for your money in 15-20 years. Carson will keep going to swim lessons year round. He just loves it and I'm happy he is more safe around water!
