Ideas please!

So I have finally cleaned out the toy room to make it into Evan's very own. But when it comes to little boy things I am totally clueless! I can name you everything and anything for little girls but when it comes to boys I draw a blank! Colors? Themes? Anything? Craig is useless when it comes to decorating. Ask my mom. My house looks like a bachelor pad threw up and he would keep it that way if he could! Suggestions?? Come on people!! Help a crazy lady out!!

A mermaid in the making

While I poke fun at Leah describing her swimming as looking like a whale splashing around in distress I must admit she is doing amazingly well. With floaties on she has no fear at all!! Her favorite thing to do is jump off of the diving board backwards. Without them she has a little less confidence but is starting to scare me how daring she is trying to be! Oh well. I guess I will have to suck it up as with most other things!

The day ended with a Bang!

The 4th of July was quite interesting to say the least. We did the normal thing. Swimming, food, more swimming, and sparklers. The girls were a little disappointed because when we were finally able to leave it was too late to go to the big firework show at Balloon Fiesta Park besides the fact that they did sparklers while it was still quite light outside. So Craig stopped on the way home to buy some fireworks so the girls could have a little show. (Side note: fireworks in the Albuquerque City limits are legal as long as they do not go any higher than 10 feet or something like that.) I don't know if I have ever mentioned but we live in what I like to call Little Mexico where all of our neighbors are Hispanic, and some speak very little English. That being the case our neighbors either don't know the laws or don't care. Either way it made for a great show! We had three different houses go and get thousands of dollars of the illegal fireworks and they kept them going until 1 a.m. It was a better show than anything we would have paid for!! Gotta love Little Mexico!!

Happy Father's Day!

On Father's day we were able to give Evan his baby blessing. We did it in home at Craig's parents house after a nice dinner. But my favorite part is Evan's outfit! We got it at the distribution center by the Albuquerque Temple. It was so adorable. All it was missing was a little tie! Craig thought it needed a little baby pimp hat but we wont go there. Doesn't he look like a future general authority?!
