My Dear Ol Dad

So, I grew up on Ten Acres of Love as Ry would say. My Dad had many stories regarding horses and cars. Below is one of his treasures he and my mom drove to New Mexico this summer.

Yep, it was great to see them in New Mexico! They met Cormic and Carson for the first time. I am posting today because I'm thinking of that long road trip they took to see us. Those of us in newer cars may think "What a rough, long journey"...But, to him...it was a sweet ride to see the ones he loves. So, today I am thinking of that road trip because I learned today he is about ready to face a real tough road. But, with all that love him..positive thoughts and prayers will cause this cancer to be just a bump in the road. I love you DAD!

Hold on to her tight dad

So, we went to the Haskins to celebrate a birthday. But, ol dad gets a little protective around the Haskins boy. Carson was there to say, "Relax dad....here, let me rub your back. Now, let me down!"

Little man Haskins and little man Evans shown below in the pool, during Wyatt's birthday party.
Momma Haskins laugh'n at the gift we gave little Wyatt. The shirt has a picture of Carson on it and the words "My gal is red hot". Yep, it was Ry's idea. The shirt wasn't big enough to hold the rest of the line..

Sisters Years apart

The only thing that separates these two girls are the years. Since the older two have watched over the two little ones this summer, Sierra and Carson have become very close. It does kinda bother me how Sierra just watched Carson crawl into the toy box shown below...has this happened the entire summer?

So, we had one turn 1 year in July. Then, we had Sierra turn 17 on August 8th. She started her senior year four days later and she is sooo excited about being on top of the food chain. The water works already started for me and will probably continue till graduation. This happened way to fast!She is working on more time behind the wheel, still has a passion for art, kind, is a great role model for her little siblings and plans on attending a local college next year. And, this girl makes me laugh. Ry and I always tell the kids that they are the greatest people we know...and they really are.

Big things also happened for our littlest one too this summer. She had her first birthday. She made her first road trip to New Mexico. And, she met numerous family members for the first time.
Carson has five teeth now and SHE TOOK OFF walking! She milked the "walking thing" for two weeks..Then, one night we just had to call her out on it. We knew she could walk...but she just wanted to be packed. Well, sure enough...the same night of the talk. BOOM. Girl got to stepp'n.
This little lady is pretty tough. I haven't seen a child take soo many spills; and a lot are because Cormic gives her a love nudge to the ground. She also likes to climb. You name it...and she's tried it. I walked in the bathroom because I heard her crying. She was stuck. One leg on the ground and one leg over the lid of the john.

wow.

Where have you been?

As you can see from the picture below.. Cormic has been a little upset w/me because I haven't posted anything about him and his siblings. "Nooo! I need them to love me! You need to tell them ma how funny and cute I have been all summer!" LOL

I've tried to explain to him that I have been just a little busy, and the days just pass by so quick...But, stay tuned and we will try to catch ya up on the Evans' happenings.

Now, Cormic is happy. I'd better hurry or he may get upset w/me again. If you are wondering who runs the show...then you haven't met the Evans' children. ha ha.
