Full of giggles!

More interested in the horse's ball than in the horse!

Toothless grin...I haven't posted in a long time, so I thought I'd include lots of pictures...
I'm officially done with work for the summer, but went in yesterday and am going in tomorrow to finish some stuff up. It has been so nice to be home with Evan and we are excited to be heading to Door County next week. It will be a great, relaxing trip! I have been very stressed with work, so some relaxation is much needed!
Evan has been so much fun lately that I can hardly stand it! He loves to laugh and is always doing and saying funny things. He is talking alot and loves to mimic what we say. He also is really into labeling what belongs to who. "Daddy's shoes", "puppy's food", "Evan's milk", "mommy's coffee" (which sounds more like mommy's copy, but we know what he means), etc. He is excited about every little thing, which is fun. He especially loves going to the park right now, so we have been exploring some new parks. We have been to a few by our house, a couple in Maple Grove, and went to Teddy Bear park in Stillwater with some friends today. We plan to spend a lot of time at the park, beach, and pool this summer!
We have had lots of visitors in the past week. Hannah graduated from grad school last weekend (congrats Hannah!), so she was here for a few days last week. Matt came up and stayed a couple of days too, which was fun. Grandma and Grandpa Pasche came down last weekend and brought Hailey and Maddy with. Evan is wild about playing with the girls and they are so good with him! My parents came up yesterday to hang out while I went into work. They went to the park and got caught in the rain, which Evan loved! He was the center of attention and seemed to enjoy every minute of it. He is definitely social and loves to be around other people...especially kids!
We have been busy in the past month. We went to Alexandria for a weekend and went for a great boat ride. He wasn't thrilled about the life jacket at first, but got used to it. He even fell asleep on the boat for about an hour! We were in E.C. for the weekend and spent part of the afternoon at the Children's Museum. We hadn't been there before, but will definitely be heading back. Aaron, Evan, and I also spend Memorial Day at the Como Zoo. Evan was very into the giraffes, monkeys, and the train. We're planning to spend more time there this summer as well.
My co-worker Judi had us out to her house after school one day. She boards horses and also has a few of her own. Evan liked being there, but was more interested in the giant horse ball and playing in the mud! He was a little afraid of the big horses...he did like riding with Rusty the miniature horse though!
Evan has been Mr. Independent lately. He likes to try to put his own shoes on, buckle the belt in his car seat, go up and down stairs holding onto the railing, and walk instead of being carried. He'll say "Evan do", and then is determined to do it himself. We don't always have time wait for him to do something, but we try to be patient and let him attempt it. He is talking lots and is a very smart little guy. He loves to point out things that he sees. His favorite things right now are trucks, trains, airplanes, tunnels (bridges), animals, water, parks, and rocks. He is such a boy!
We are looking forward to a GREAT summer and will be posting lots of pictures of our little adventures!
