Hey Chicago What Do You Say, the Cubs are Gonna Win Today!

We went to Chicago in early August for a fun visit with family and to throw Aunt Beth a baby shower. Mom and Dad decided to have a little babymoon in downtown Chicago for one night and left me with Aunt Beth, Uncle Brian, Grandma & Papa. Don't worry, I didn't miss them too much - when they showed up after not seeing them for 48 hours I pretty much ignored them and started asking where Grandma & Papa were. I'm pretty independent!

When my parents were in Chicago they got to have breakfast with Mommy's good friend Bre from college. I haven't met her yet, but Mom says she's lots of fun and was so glad to see her.
Mom & Dad also went to a Cubs game with Grandma & Papa - the Cubs won!

Isn't this a funny T-shirt?...
On the day of Aunt Beth's shower Daddy took care of my good friend Caden and me for a few hours. It was a hot day so we had lots of fun with water...

Mommy & Aunt Beth are due on the same day: November 2nd! Wouldn't it been fun if both babies were born on my birthday on November 3rd? Keep your fingers crossed...

Flanagan's Lake Cabin

My Daddy's cousin (James & his wife Denise) invited the whole Evens clan up to their cabin near Battle Lake, MN. We went tubing down the river on our rafts and I got to spend some quality time with my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Thanks for a fun weekend!

Clowing Around...

The Hanson kids came for a quick visit. We went on walks and to the zoo too during their fun 2 day stay, but this is the only picture we managed to take!

The next night my Daddy decided to wrap me up tight in my towel after my bath. Mom thought it was hysterical for some reason. After bath I always ask Daddy to pick me up by saying: "Daddy hold you?"

4th of July at the Lake

We got to spend another fun 4th of July at the Hanson's lake home near Detroit Lakes, MN. I always have so much fun hanging out with the Hanson kids.
On the first day there we got to take in the annual "Boat Parade" on Lake Middle Cormorant. Very exciting stuff!
And even though there's a huge beautiful lake that we could swim in...we really liked splashing around in the kiddie pool even better. Thanks for playing with me so much Eva & Travis - you're great friends.

My Week in Grafton, North Dakota

This June I got to spend a really fun week at Grandma Judy and Grandpa Morris's house in Grafton.
My Grandma has a beautiful garden so I wanted lots of pictures in it...

Three generations of Evens men...Grandpa Morris, Daddy & Me.
Grandpa gave me my first push-up pop on a hot summer day. It was delicious! If you're wondering why I'm so clean it's because Grandma kept wiping my face and tummy every time I dripped...she's not big on messes! :-)
When I was in Grafton Grandma took me to the barber shop and for the rest of the week I was sure to tell everyone that asked where I got my hair cut: "Barber shop...Roger cut it."

One of my other favorite things to say right now is where I live, shouting "St. Paul!!" at the top of my lungs. And when asked my name I like to respond with a unrecognizable "Andrew Charles Evens" all slurred together. My mom thinks I'm cuter and cuter every day!

First Train Ride

My Great Aunt Pauli gave us her employee tickets to ride a real live Burlington Northern Steam Engine! It was my first train ride ever and it was so much fun.

Wild Wilderness

What a fun weekend we had when we went to Sarah & Dave's cabin near Brainerd!
I love Sarah & Dave, they are so my fun to play with!


I got to go fishing for the first time - it was so neat. I really like touching the wiggly, slimy fish.
I also loved swimming in their beautiful lake at the beach. The whole time I kept shouting "In the swimming pool!" with a big grin on my face!
