We were so excited that Daddy could join us at the zoo on a random Wednesday night. Evelyn went for her 2nd pony ride and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. We had a BBQ with one of our favorite family's, The Peters and Tyson and Evelyn exhausted themselves jumping on the bed and being led in a marathon 'dance party' by me! We have had numerouse adventures with Grandma Ruth and, for once. Evelyn was hamming it up fo the camera :) (click photos to enlarge)
We also had the opportunity to go to two Omaha Royals and one Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game. Evelyn actually claims to LOVE baseball - but I think that is mostly because she wants to be like Daddy. She has even discovered that if the Cubs are playing she gets to stay up past her bedtime to watch! It is SO cute when she says, 'I want to watch da Cups' - Daddy CAN'T say no to that!
The pictures below are from one Royals game. We met alot of friends and family there and brought Keith's 'Uncle' Russel with us. We had fun even on the car ride there - what a great family, summertime event!
A few more random pictures. Starting on the left is Evelyn on a typical day of 'school'. She usually insists on wearing her shades (upside down is her signature) and bringing her purse. She is just getting SO big and this picture just totally captures her silly and happy personality. She is ALWAYS ready to go - whether it is to school, to Grandma's, or just to the grocery store for shopping - she is a great travel buddy and the best little helper.
The picture on top is from a fun day we had with Tyson Peters. We went to the Children's Museum and then out to lunch then shopping and THEN decided ice cream was a MUST! The kids picked out their flavors by color - purple and orange - they were.....okay....next time I am insisting they either get brown or white! I am not sure I can ever stomach 'blueberry' flavored ice cream again!
On the right is Evelyn taking her baby for a walk. We love to walk around the neighborhood or just up and down the block. We have taken her puppy (plastic with wheels for feet) and her baby numerous times. She is such a good Mommy - she stops about every minute to make sure the baby is situated and buckled and gives a tiny kiss on the forehead!
The pic on the bottom is just a cute dress that I got for $.50- I am pretty much obsessed with bargains and am so proud when I find a good one. This particular night Daddy was gone so we had 'movie night' and had fun snacks and watch the CareBear Movie twice. It was the same one I remember watching when I was little so it was fun that she enjoyed it too.
One of the best adventures of the summer was Evelyn's first movie in the theater. We saw Toy Story 3 and she did great! Grandma and Grandpa Wassinger joined us and we all enjoyed the movie. Our favorite part is when Evelyn turned to Grandpa and said, 'Shhhh Grandpa - no talking!' and he hadn't made a peep the whole time! She on the other hand does need to learn that the characters on the movie can't hear her.. she yelled at one point, 'Oh no Woody! You dropped your hat!'
