Just Summer Fun!

Just a few pictures of what we have been up to lately. Blake still loves to play with the garden hose, as you can see he really loves to spray his daddy and everything else:) We also spent a few days in Chattanooga with my mom and dad. We always have a great time but never have enough time there.

Playing at the Pumpkin Patch with DeeDee.

Playing at the Children's Museum in Chattanooga:

Blake's New Room

This past month we have been moving furniture and fixing Blake's room up as him "big boy" room. The bunk beds and dresser were my brother Blake's when he was little and we are so happy that Blake is using them now in his room. We had them painted blue and they turned out really great and Blake LOVES them. I find him in his room on the top bunk many days justing "playing." Aside from changing the handles on the dresser and his very on "reading chair" we are finished with his room....now to work on the guest room and baby room:)

A Week at Edisto

Last week we got to spend the week with GiGi, Gmax, Niki and Chris at Edisto and we had a great time. Blake loved spending the early mornings and evenings on the beach, the afternoons were spent mostly on the porch in our own swimming pool!! We had a great time and a big thanks to Gigi and Gmax for a great week.

Blake loved this chair at the beach house, it turned completely around, so as you can imagine we spent LOTS of time spinning this chair around and around!

Our attempt at a family picture...not so bad!

Hanging out with Fulmer and daddy in the pool.

I had too....this is not intentional...Blake has always pointed with his middle finger. An ongoing joke in our family :)

Here I am for everyone who is asking...61/2 months pregnant.

Water surfing with Gigi.

Take a look at that swing...playing with Gmax and daddy.

My absolute favorite!

Jumping the waves with daddy.

Blake's first ride in a golf cart....he could not wait to go again the next day.

Making brownies with aunt Niki.

Chasing birds AGAIN!

Attack of the Birds!

As most of you know we always have a story to tell...one morning while we were at Ono we decided to take a walk on the "big beach." Nothing unusual except that Blake spotted an enormous amount of birds he decided to chase with the encouragement of daddy! As you will see Blake made his way towards the birds as my mom started to notice bird eggs laying in the sand. Those of you who know mom know that she can never resist any kind of bird eggs! However as we continued the birds started to get VERY close to Blake and started hovering and swooping down on him like they would pick him up and take him away or peck him, which of course was what I was fearing at this point. As I am trying to get to Blake as fast as I can my dad noticed signs stating "bird sanctuary" criminal and civil penalties enforced! So as fast as we could mom redeposited all the eggs she had collected and I collected mine (aka Blake) we made our way out of there as soon as we possibly could! :) Just another story from the Evans clan!

More Pictures from Ono
