Catching up

I know it's been months since I've posted, so I thought I would put up some current photos of Evan and our family of 3. Our little boy is 4 months old now...don't know where the time goes...and is the happiest and most precious thing ever! I'm not kidding when I say happiest...he is always smiling, loves to laugh, loves to be around people and has quite a voice when he talks! He is such a joy to us and we love our "family life."

Thanksgiving day on a walk in Redlands with Alla who joined us for the holiday

He'll have to get used to this :)

Rolling over now!

Playing at the park with Daddy...who is such an intentional dad! I love how Jared is with Evan-he is so helpful and loves to take him Saturday mornings for 'mad dates.'

Such a big boy now!

Celebrating Kristina's birthday earlier this month

E*V*A*N

All I can say is we love him a little more everyday! So glad to have this adorable little guy in our lives! Here's our photo shoot from this weekend. :)

Last weekend in San Diego

New Normal

Life has forever changed and we are enjoying our new normal. Evan is so much fun and such an entertainment for us! He is a happy baby, starting to sleep better at night, loves time with his daddy and seems to enjoy being outside. Jared and I are starting to get a rhythm down and it's fun when the 3 of us have time together.

2 weeks old

He likes the swing

Grandpa Glenn gave Evan this outfit since he's a Cali baby and will hopefully one day surf with his dad!

I love him!

Asleep on Auntie Alla's chest

He's had lots of time with Grandpa and Grammie Pike while they've been here. My mom can't get enough of him. :)

First big outing to the beach. We spent a couple hours at Crystal Cove the 3 of us and it was a success. This baby has to learn to be mobile early to join Jared and I on all our adventures!

Our family of 3

Evan Ray Adams

Meet our son Evan Ray Adams. Born 7.26.11, 7:34 p.m., 6lbs 13 oz, 18 inches. He is the love of our lives and so precious! My labor was great and we are on day 3 of being home and adjusting to our "new normal." It's amazing the love and affection you instantly have for your child and the way "motherly" instincts kick in to get you through the exhaustion. :) We love our family of 3!

More pictures and details in the coming weeks. (As most of you understand my hands are quite tied these days) :)

7 Years!!!

This weekend we celebrated our 7th anniversary together! It's amazing to me the years we've had togehter...if you add in our years of dating we're at almost 14 years of 'J & J'! This year Jared took me to Temecula for dinner and a beautiful, scenic drive through Temecula wine country. It was a great evening, just the two of us, realizing it will be the last anniversary with just 2 of us. :) So in our 8th year of marriage that we're starting, we'll start a family and it's so exciting to think about! I love my husband...who I call my "favorite"...and love our life together! Happy Anniversary babe!

7 year anniversary and 37 weeks!

Santa Barbara & 36 weeks

Our good friends the Schultheis' were visiting from Spokane this past week and we got to enjoy spending 2 days with them in Santa Barbara. I loved getting to spend time with Ashlee down in Cali- we don't get to see eachother enough, but make it quality time when we do. Santa Barbara, as always, was beautiful and the perfect place to be to enjoy friends, fun and some down time.

36 weeks at the beach

Owne's first time at the beach...he loved it!
