Easter Eggs are Funny

This year for Easter in Iowa I got to color eggs for the first time! It was so much fun watching the eggs change color and scooping them out with my spoon. I kept trying to drink the egg coloring, but that was not very popular with the grown-ups!


Later that day I got to have my own personalized Easter Egg hunt (since I'm the only kid right now). It was so much fun to search for the eggs and put them in my basket - I kept running around shouting... "Egg...Egg...Egg" everytime I saw one!

Andrew the Builder

This past weekend I was honing my construction skills by helping Daddy.

We are replacing the floor in our kitchen and I helped to pound in some nails. One of my favorite words is "hammer" which sounds like "hamm-oo".
We also got this fun kit to make a stool from Home Depot. I like doing projects with my Daddy!

North Dakota Trip

A few weeks ago I traveled to Fargo, North Dakota for Luke Hanson's baptism. My parents are his godparents:

After the baptism, mommy & me drove up to see Grandma & Grandpa in Grafton. Here's a picture of me being silly in Grandpa's hat & gloves!

New Year's 2008 in the Smoky Mountains with the Evens Family

After Christmas we flew to Knoxville, Tennessee to spend a week with the whole Evens family in the Smoky Mountains. We had so much fun!

Cousin Julia and I had such a fun week spending time together...

Just the boys...
Here's a picture of the whole group in front of our cabin. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

Merry Christmas

I had some pictures taken just after my 1st Birthday - here are some of our favorites...

Andrew's First Birthday Party!

Hey Everyone!!
2 weeks ago (November 3rd) I celebrated my very first birthday with my family and friends.
I really loved being the center of attention.

Look at this neat cake that Mommy made for me...it's shaped like a fire truck...my favorite!
My parents got me this cool Radio Flyer rocket for my birthday! It's fun to ride on but I also like walking behind it and pushing it all over the house. I've already put a few dings in the woodwork...Daddy doesn't love that part! And as I just learned to say... "uh-oh!!"
Opening presents was so much fun. I can't believe all of the neat stuff I got! I just love all of my new toys and clothes...thanks everyone!
I wasn't too sure about the cake though. I'm kind of a neat eater and still like to be fed so I wasn't that interested in getting my hands dirty this year!


Birthdays are fun...I'm already looking forward to when I turn the big 2!!
