BYU Basketball

We took Evan to his first basketball game a couple days ago. He loved watching the big screen. He just wouldn't look at the camera.

New Toys

Here are some new photos of Evan with his new toys that we purchased for him recently. He hasn't mastered the Jumberoo yet because he's still a little small for it.


He just loves the play mat as you can see

Evan is...

2 Months old today!!


We moved him to his own room since he's just down the hall from us. Hopefully he will start sleeping through the night this way. He's such a happy content little boy. Matt and I are so blessed. He loves watching TV with his dad.

Happy New Year!

We spent the New Year with our friends Amy, Austin and my brother Nathan. Elizabeth was out of town visiting her family in San Diego. We started out with having dinner that Nathan made. He was returning the favor since we made him dinner the other night. After dinner we started watching the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Nathan went to bed after the first one. I don't blame him. I wanted to go to bed after I put Evan down for the night. I waited it out so I could drink to the New Year with Sparkling Apple Cider and get the wonderful New Years kisses from Matt. I ended up going to bed shortly after so I wouldn't be too tired when Evan woke up for his feedings. Amy and Austin stayed over till all the movies were over. What troopers! It was two or three in the morning when Evan woke up and they were just leaving.
Here's to 2008!

Merry Christmas!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It was a memorable one even though some of our plans fell through. We had plans to go to the Glover Christmas Eve party but there was such a horrible storm so we stayed home. We didn't want to risk an accident with a new born. I hope my family forgives us. Since Evan is still waking up twice a night, Matt had a great idea to open our presents Christmas Eve. I didn't want to at first but I agreed in the end because I liked that we could sleep in so we can enjoy our family later on the next day. I got Evan ready for the night and we had our Christmas a day early.

Since Evan wasn't old enough to open his gifts, we just left them open.

One gift was wrapped and that was from Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Nathan.


When we were in California, our Aunt had this swing. We had a swing already for Evan but he hated being in it. He ended up loving this swing so we had to get it for him. He loves the mobile.

We left stockings till Christmas morning. This is the first time Evan smiled so big and we caught it on camera.

He's just as big as his stocking!!

The rest of the day we spent it with both families. It's nice having our parents living next door to each other. Since Evan is the first grandchild on both sides, he was obviously spoiled with toys.

Photo Shoot

A friend from the ward took photos of Evan for us. This was a baby shower gift. She got a few good shots of him. Since we didn't get pictures of him in his blessing outfit, I had her take a few. Grandma Felt gave this outfit to us so we had to take some since she wasn't able to make it to the blessing.


We just had to get him in his Cougar outfit. I wish she got a long view of it but I guess they didn't turn out. His shirt says "You are Lookin at One Cute Cougar" and my mom gave it to us. My sister Ericka made the blanket.

Since its Christmas she took Christmas pictures.


These are just a few out of all the photos that were taken. Out of all of them, she finally got him to smile.

She will photoshop them later

Road Trip to Northern California

A family member passed on the Haymore side. This is the second in one month on the same side. The first one we couldn't make it because we could have had Evan at any moment. I'm glad we went to this one even though I was worried with the ride up and back because of Evan being in his car seat for long periods of time. I was surprised that he slept the entire time between feedings. We are blessed with such a great baby!

We visited Grandpa Thompson why we were there since he hasn't seen Evan yet. Evan was actually named after him. Evan M. Thompson and Evan Matthew Thompson. This is a four generation photo of all first borns.

I had to get in with a shot.

We did the same with Grandma Haymore


This trip made Evan so tired


He normally wakes up to be changed

Blessing

Evan was blessed today. Thank you friends and family for coming. It meant a lot to us. Again, I wish I took more pictures. I blame the no sleep! I did get one of my Grandparents on the Glover side. This is the first that they’ve seen him.

Doc Appointmet

We actually got to see Dr. Later this time. Again, my mother came with me to help. Evan is doing really well. He wieghed in at 8lb 1oz and he's now 20.9 inches long so he is growing.

BYU vs Utah

This is the best game out of the year and I couldn't miss it! My mom watched Evan for us so I could go. We purchased All Sport Passes this year and I really didn't want to hand over my ticket to someone else. I don't want to brag or anything just incase die hard Utah fans read this blog but WE WON!!!....

and I missed Evan the entire time.
