So these last few weeks I have been feeling very overwhelmed with my children. It was spring break and we stayed at home. Evan is on this new kick where he has to talk non stop 24/7 and it was cute at the beginning. like two weeks ago. Also he has become very violent with his older brothers; especially while we are in the car. And Garett takes the brunt of his attacks.
So while we are in the car a few days ago hes in rare form and I have reached my stimulation quota for the week. I blurted out without thinking " Evan if you don't knock it off right now, I am gonna beat your butt black and blue." He stopped and for like 30 seconds I thought I had gotten my point across. When Evan comes back at me with "Hmmm....... how about Orange?" I said "what" and could not contain my laughter. So instead of a black and blue butt, he wanted an orange one. I could not have defused that situation better if I had tried. He is going to be the death of me with his Evan-ness but at least I will be laughing the whole time.
love you all hope all is well for you.

Christmas
Well Christmas this year was different. Not bad but very different. Did you know that almost EVERYTHING in the Phoenix area is closed on Christmas day other then Walgreens and Dennys?Well its true and we found out the hard way. ( oh yeah the movie theaters are alos open)
We had a day full of fun planned; I did not call to make sure. I went off of the information given off of there web sites. For those of you who would like to do what we attempted this year the only advise I can give you would be CALL to make sure no matter what the web site says.
Despite the hang ups we had we had a wonderful Christmas.
We went to Dennys instead of all of the other things we had planned.Here are some pictures; enjoy

Evan the Hyper
Evan the Hyper goes running through the house on a rampage. He loves to run and play and jump and scream and drive everyone else a little crazy. Its not because he has a lot of excess sugar.It's not because he does not get exercise. Its not because he is not loved as much as any other little boy. Its because he has his daddy's jeans.
Evan starts every after noon nap the same, He takes a little while playing on his bead and looking at books and then falling asleep,he then gets up and has a snack. He takes a little bit of time waking up and then a switch turns on and "Evan the Hyper" is off and running. There is no stopping him, there is no slowing him down. There are only different degrees of "Evan The Hyper". Fast walking, a slow run and then a full on run; Almost a blur.
Evan runs from one room to the next. Evan can't walk any where he goes he has to run.
His mommy asked him on day " Evan why are you so hyper all of the time." Evan answers while he is jumping up and down " Mommy after my nap I turn into "Evan the hyper." His mommy laughed out loud and walked away.
Evans Big brother Garett asked "Evan why are you so hyper all of the time?" Evan replied as he ran from room to room" I am Evan the hyper, and I can run all day long."
Evans dad asked him next " Evan why are you so hyper all time?" Evan turned to look at his daddy with great joy in his eyes and said " Daddy I am "Evan the Hyper" and I can run all day long if I want to."
Evans oldest brother Brady came in and sat down next to where Evan started running and just sat down. Evan saw Brady sitting down and being still and wondered what was so special about sitting still. Brady seemed to like what he was doing so Evan sat down next to Brady and put his hand on Brady's leg and began to sit still. Evan looked at Brady and asked him " Brady why do you sit still? " Brady looked at Evan and said with the sweetest voice" Evan I used to be "Brady the Hyper" until I learned how great it was to be still and enjoy the quiet."
Evan looked at him and decided o give it a try and "Evan the hyper" began to look at being Evan the Quiet".
The end
I did this quickly . I just keep seeing this boy do things that I cant explain how and why he does them. I hope you guys get some enjoyment out of them I feel like this is a good therapy session when I Can make Evans crazy and weird traits into something funny.Like maybe just maybe I can make to the next day. So here's to taking it one day at a time and hoping you enjoy my short stories about Evan.

A story
A TALE OF EVAN THE DIRTY
Evan had a bath every night before going to bed . But something strange happened every night between the time his mom put him in bed and the time his mom got him out of bed. Every morning he woke up dirty.
One morning Evans mom asked him " Evan , how do you get so dirty while you are sleeping?"
Evan looked up at his mother and said with a huge smile on his face "mommy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY every night so I can fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy.
His mother patted his head and said " Wow, you do ALL that when you are sleeping; you are a very busy boy.."
Evan got another bath the night before going to bed and woke up the next morning dirty again.This time it was dad who went to get him up. He looked at Evan and asked " didn't you get a bath last night?" Evan looked at him straight in the face and said "Yup." Dad still puzzled asked " Evan, how do you get so dirty when you are sleeping?"
Evan replied with great joy " Daddy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy." Dad laughed out loud and said "Yes it would seem so."
That night Evan played in the tub before getting ready for bed.
The next morning Brady, Evan big brother, got him up and saw again that he was dirty.
" Evan what did you do after you bath last night ransack the cupboards?"
Evan looked at his big brother with great joy and said " No, I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy."
Brady said " Oh, OK what ever Mr. dirty." Evan looked at his big brother with hurt in his eyes. He did not get it." I am not Mr. dirty I am EVAN THE DIRTY!" he turned and walked away.
Evan had another bath that night . He played with bubbles and toys and even managed to splash his mom on the way out of the tub. She helped him get ready for bed.
The next morning his other big brother Garett got him up and didn't say a thing to Evan. He just had a little smile on his face.
Evan puzzled looked at him and asked " Garett are you going to ask me how I get so dirty while I am sleeping?" Garett knelt down beside Evan and whispered in his ear " No, I used to be GARETT THE DIRTY. I know why you are dirty." Evan looked Garett in the face. With this new information Evan laughed and laughed and laughed. He was after all EVAN THE DIRTY..

I am sorry
I have not been a very good person as of late and I have said things and done things I am not proud of. I have been a horrible mother, daughter,sister and wife. I am unsure why I was given the few blessings that i have been given. Because I can think of so many more people who so much more deserving.
I will have to face my demons now. I given myself little choice in the matter.
I can only hope that those of you whi I have affected in anyway shape of form (badly) can some day find it in your hearts not to hate me. I dont expect to be forgiven for my actions. But please dont hate me forever.
I deserve all the paina nd suffering I have caused myself. And so everyone who reads this knows, I will be seeking out profesional help as soon as I can.
I only hope its not too late to repair some of the damage I have caused all my way.
I am truly sorry to all of you I have hurt.
