This year was especially fun because Evan loved the events. Especially the parade. Getting candy is, of course, the best part of any parade. Evan hoarded as much as he could.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mukmu4FhI3g/TjmIYf7m--I/AAAAAAAAANg/TcVrAtTb1ZE/s1600/24%2Bcandy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mukmu4FhI3g/TjmIYf7m--I/AAAAAAAAANg/TcVrAtTb1ZE/s320/24%2Bcandy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636686363100642274" border="0" /></a><br />He also loved the horses and flags.

Somehow we don't have pictures of any of these things. Next year I promise to be a better picture taker.<br /><br />What we do have pictures of are the results of a very dusty 4-wheeler ride (yet none of the ride itself):<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IW3v7GdGdAQ/TjmJbEuDFpI/AAAAAAAAAOg/wYu0iyoYfGo/s1600/24%2Batv%2Bjay.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IW3v7GdGdAQ/TjmJbEuDFpI/AAAAAAAAAOg/wYu0iyoYfGo/s320/24%2Batv%2Bjay.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636687506847241874" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pa9R3Auznec/TjmJbQeeJhI/AAAAAAAAAOo/jZY9onm_Vw8/s1600/24%2Batv%2Bdj.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pa9R3Auznec/TjmJbQeeJhI/AAAAAAAAAOo/jZY9onm_Vw8/s320/24%2Batv%2Bdj.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636687510003131922" border="0" /></a>I think we do have some photos on Jayson's phone.

I guess this is true. So here's an update of some of our summer adventures.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />In June, Evan and I went to Colorado to celebrate my cousin, David, returning from an LDS mission. Then we stayed for a week with Papa and Nana Decker. Somehow we didn't get very many pictures of this event, but here's the ones we have.<br /><br />Evan loved being at Nana's!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8wOYUtBhUg/TjmD03E9XyI/AAAAAAAAALw/O4kjtyLcZzw/s1600/Happy%2521.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y8wOYUtBhUg/TjmD03E9XyI/AAAAAAAAALw/O4kjtyLcZzw/s320/Happy%2521.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636681352792071970" border="0" /></a><br />Here is Nana and Evan at the cabin.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QPxR2kNO4to/TjmD0gAJyAI/AAAAAAAAALo/BCoA_GfIyjU/s1600/Evan%2Band%2BNana.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QPxR2kNO4to/TjmD0gAJyAI/AAAAAAAAALo/BCoA_GfIyjU/s320/Evan%2Band%2BNana.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636681346597898242" border="0" /></a>Evan and his cousin, James.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LJzZJYIxuro/TjmD0jLxjBI/AAAAAAAAALg/S0fgp3WU-us/s1600/Evan%2Band%2BJames.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LJzZJYIxuro/TjmD0jLxjBI/AAAAAAAAALg/S0fgp3WU-us/s320/Evan%2Band%2BJames.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636681347451948050" border="0" /></a>We went to the park in Montrose to see the ducks.

We played in the pool and went to Wheeler Farm.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wDp_0tMiNtw/TjmE44sdcCI/AAAAAAAAAMA/_-EHzxcu9hc/s1600/pool.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wDp_0tMiNtw/TjmE44sdcCI/AAAAAAAAAMA/_-EHzxcu9hc/s320/pool.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636682521457291298" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1O2zlN7N2v4/TjmE42a3g7I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/_uQiMD-BBhw/s1600/wheeler%2Bfarm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1O2zlN7N2v4/TjmE42a3g7I/AAAAAAAAAMQ/_uQiMD-BBhw/s320/wheeler%2Bfarm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636682520846631858" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K-fGK5e8zMA/TjmE4w5jlZI/AAAAAAAAAMI/ue7DeW0Bggo/s1600/wheeler%2Bfarm%2Btreats.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K-fGK5e8zMA/TjmE4w5jlZI/AAAAAAAAAMI/ue7DeW0Bggo/s320/wheeler%2Bfarm%2Btreats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636682519364736402" border="0" /></a>Evan's favorite part of the the farm were the ducks.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3oefdhvGI_E/TjmE5H7r8bI/AAAAAAAAAMY/4u7j_bQPJ7w/s1600/ducks.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3oefdhvGI_E/TjmE5H7r8bI/AAAAAAAAAMY/4u7j_bQPJ7w/s320/ducks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636682525547688370" border="0" /></a>Erica was here on the 4th of July. In the morning, we went for a long drive into the mountains behind our house. We drove all the way to the top where we could see the valley and the copper mine. It was pretty fun, but the three of us weren't brave enough to get out because of the gale force winds.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Kty4kKJIUo/TjmF0f3GrUI/AAAAAAAAAMg/SS4Z0XBQBUY/s1600/drive.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Kty4kKJIUo/TjmF0f3GrUI/AAAAAAAAAMg/SS4Z0XBQBUY/s320/drive.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5636683545583201602" border="0" /></a>Later, we had Brian, Jen, and Isaac over for a bbq and some kid fireworks.

Evan can now say 20 words, so I'm recording them for posterity's sake.<br /><br />The Criteria: He must come up with the word on his own, not just imitate it.<br />He can imitate lots of sounds.<br /><br />So . . . here they are. Most are pretty standard (I assume, anyway). Some may surprise you.<br /><br />1. Clock<br />2. Light<br />3. Car<br />4. Tree (this one has since disappeared from his vocabulary)<br />5. Cracker<br />6. Button<br />7. Outside<br />8. Guitar (it sounds like car-car)<br />9. Bird<br />10. Card (as in credit card, a favorite plaything. I'm not a bad parent. Just teaching him to live in the real world.)<br />11. Down<br />12. Shoe<br />13. Quack-quack<br />14. Book<br />15. Ball<br />16. Dot (there are lots of dots in his life. . .)<br />17. Dad<br />18. Dog<br />19. Helicopter (You saw it right!! Can your kid say that? It sounds like ah-cah.)<br />20. Key<br /><br />Note the absence of 'mama.' We think he's a little confused. Evan seems to think 'da' refers to either parent. He demonstrated this at church on Sunday. I was playing the organ, and he pointed to me and loudly exclaimed, "Da! Da!" Pretty cute, but we definitely need to straighten him out.<br /></div>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01287817210225013442noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325031520339642177.post-91174890683576512242011-04-26T10:40:00.001-07:002011-04-26T10:52:41.311-07:00Easter<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9rbunTfXROA/TbcEuQWl75I/AAAAAAAAAI4/0C4uNO6XAiw/s1600/IMG_3667.jpg"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.
