A Boy and His Dog...

Maddux eyeing up the "crinkle star"!
Evan loves Maddux!

Thanks for letting us borrow this Isaac & Lily!


One of Evan's favorite toys is his "crinkle star". It is a terry cloth star that makes a "crinkle" noise when you play with it. Each point of the star is a different texture and one of them squeaks. Maddux seems to think that this is a dog toy and tries his best to get it. One morning Evan was in his car seat ready to go and Aaron and I were finishing getting ready for work. I came out of the kitchen and Maddux had jumped up and gotten the crinkle star away from Evan. Whenever Evan has it, Maddux tries to sneak it away from him when we're not looking. The other day Evan was playing with it and Maddux sat staring for at least 5 minutes! He was ready to pounce and steal the star at any minute, so I just had to get a picture. Evan doesn't seem to mind sharing his things with his pup and loves to watch Maddux. I'm a little concerned that the two of them may get into trouble once Evan is able to move around!
We went to Eau Claire last weekend to visit Grandpa Marv and Grandma Mary Jo. We went to Carter's birthday party on Friday night and Evan had a great time watching all of the kids! It was way past his bedtime, but he was a trooper...I think he'll be quite the party boy when he gets older!
Saturday I went to the Colfax High School production of Footloose that my good friend Carrie directed. Theresa, Kristen, and I decided to dress in 80's gear...complete with crimped hair, blue eye shadow, and huge earrings. It was a great night out and Evan had fun hanging out with grandma and grandpa for the night.
Today I took Evan to visit my old co-workers and the kids at Adventure's Plus. The kids were very excited to see him and he enjoyed watching them run around and sing karaoke! They must have worn him out because he fell asleep in the car and slept in his car seat for 1/2 hour after we got home!
Only 3 more late nights for Aaron at work and April 15th is right around the corner...yippee!

Cute pictures! That's good that Evan loves his dog so much! How is he liking the exersaucer? Ethan loved his!

Glad you are liking our exersaucer. We especially liked chewing on the elephant . . . and bouncing up and down, of course!
