Birthday Party

While my internet connection continues to thwart my attempts to upload Christmas pictures, I'll take you back another week to Evan's first b-day party.

What better place to let kids run loose for a party than an empty house. Luckily, we had one handy since we haven't moved into our new place yet....



Given his habit of destroying all toys and creations in his path, he has earned the nickname "Godzilla"....hence the cake...



Living up to that reputation was a snap as he completely devoured his cake...this series speaks for itself. After his brother and cousin help with the candle...











He smelled like butter for the next few days and was clearly not happy to be cleaned up....



Happy Birthday, little buddy.....

Check back for christmas pictures once the internet decides to cooperate again.

First Birthday Pics

I told you, this kid loves the camera. I got home from work and this was the first pose i got from him...



we had a great time just playing, snapping pics and having fun.







Ryan was thrilled that it was his brother's birthday. First, a little birthday hug...



Next, Ryan sat with me to take pictures. He loves it. he actually took over the controls and snapped this one himself...



Happy Birthday Evan!!!!

Evan is One

OK, so i haven't posted anything substantial in a while, but - there is no way i could pass up my little buddy's birthday.

He is such a little ham. He follows Ryan everywhere and I think he secretly wishes he were 3 :)

This is the part of the post where i would toss up a ton of pics of the guy, but, my internet is being finicky so those will need to come later.

He gets to inaugurate our new house with a little birthday party on sunday too.

Since last year, 20 inches of snow arrived upon his arrival, it is only fitting that we got a couple today as well.

more to come, i promise - i'd say to check smugmug but i can't get them to upload there either. Booo....
