Some Christmas Photos

We spent Christmas in Nampa, Idaho. Evan loved playing with all the toys at Grandma and Grandpa Barrett's house! He loved 'riding the horsey', and playing with the kiddy kitchen!He also had lots of fun serving hot eggs to his Uncle Sean.
Evan watches Ruohan pull goodies out of her stocking.
A High School Musical singing pen! Hillarious!

Before we left the Treasure Valley we stopped to see the new addition to the Warner family....baby Ellen! Here is a close up of big brother Henry.

Here is baby Ellen...sorry it is a little blurry.

Evan talks on the phone at Henry's house.

Sledding in Sun Valley

We drove up to Sun Valley to take Ruohan to her SSAT exam. It was a nailbiter. The road was a solid sheet of ice with snowpack on top all the way from Twin Falls to Sun Valley. We literally slid into the Community School with less than five minutes to spare before the door was locked for the exam.

Once we got there Evan, Justin and I had tons of fun! We spent the morning drinking hot drinks and eating yummy treats at the coffee shop, sledding and shopping.
First Descent.

Below, Mom and Evan take a turn. This turned out to be a disaster. I drug my boots in the snow and the spray covered our faces and gave us some serious brain freeze. Evan was sobbing when we reached the bottom. Toys at the coffee shop.

Thanksgiving Photos

We went to Portland to celebrate Thanksgiving and here are several of the requested photos!!

Evan is watching the Sea Lions swim back and forth at the Portland Zoo.

Here he is getting a better look at the Polar Bear.

Big Elephants!
Mom and Dad in the African Bird Exhibit.

They could squash us!

It turned out to be a bit rainy and wet...hmmm imagine that.

Evan and Mom downtown Portland for the Annual Christmas Tree lighting. It was EXTREMELY crowded down there, but the trip to the toy store made it all worth it.
Multnomah Falls.

Evan gets to do one of his favorite activities....ride the horsey!

Evan helps his dad prepare for the trip. (not really).

Halloween Pictures! Evan loved dressing up in his little bat costume and admiring himself in the mirror.

We celebrated in Kimberly, where they had a parade and everyone marched in their costumes to the city park, there were hundreds of people there. It was great! Evan shows his dad his bat ring.

Bat goes down the slide. Carving pumpkins with Grandma Gena. Ruohan carves her first pumpkin. At the pumpkin patch. Day trip to Miracle. Balanced Rock Park.
Halloween party...there was a jumpy castle set up in the middle of the living room and Evan could not get enough of it even though some of the big kids were practically jumping right on him! Unfortunately all the other pictures I took were blurry. (Very common for me).
Evan sits in a basket of toys. At the corn maze. When you ask Evan to smile, this is the face you get. The water at Thousand Springs. Smile. Out in the yard....obviously when it was still warm outside.
