Chef Evan

 

One of my new favorite hobbies is cooking. Most people say I'm too young to cook but I know better! There is this cool place called Young Chef's Academy that has cooking classes for kids just my age.  I am learning the basics of cooking and it's so much fun! Thank you Grandma Cindy and Qwa Qwa for giving me some classes to try out! 

 

 

More birthday fun...anyone???

 

After our FABULOUS birthday morning we had to end the day with a great dinner! We went for Japanese food and even got to sit on the floor in these cool little wooden seats.  It was pretty funny watching Mom try and get up and down! We got to eat soup, watch them cook dinner in front of us and even use chopsticks.  I'm ready to go back...tomorrow!! 

Birthday extravaganza...Evan style!

So, we have a tradition in our house...

When it's your birthday you get breakfast, cake and presents in bed on your birthday morning.  It's FABULOUS! Did I mention the cake has to be homemade, not store bought??  Well, Mom and I made a french toast casserole with fresh fruit for breakfast and a layered Tres Leches cake for Cobus.  You know, he is getting old...45 to be exact!

Presents we great this year.  You see, I like to be exactly like Cobus.  I like to hang out, fix things, play ball and even dress like him.  So this year, when Mom asked what I was going to get him for his birthday, it was simple.  He got a new glove and baseball (so we can practice for my Spring T-ball) and matching shirts.  It was great!

Then it was cake time!  I (of course!) helped blow out the candles! Happy Birthday Cobus!! We love you!

The Train Museum

Ahhh..the train museum.  Have I told you how much I love it? I love it SO much that I want to have my birthday party at it AGAIN this year!! Several of our fun summer excursions were to the train museum.  I even got to take my good friend Engin with me.  We had such a great time!!

Some more catching up...

 Some of my favorite things this summer to do were playdates with my friends! We all take turns hosting them.  I was so excited when it was my turn to have it at our house.  I sat at the window waiting for my friends to arrive!

Once everyone got there the Moms and Dads hung out while we ran around, played on my new playset, ate pizza and enjoyed sno cones.  It was a great night!

Last week...part 2!

Not only did I start Pre-K last week but I also started my karate classes.  It was so much fun!  The first two classes I didn't have my uniform (we were waiting for it to come from the "big house").  Thursday we FINALLY got it!  I was SO excited!  This weekend Cobus had to help shorten my pants so I could wear them (since we all know Mom doesn't sew!).  We had a great time goofing around!

Last week...part 1

Last week was super exciting!  I started Pre-K on Monday!  Mom said I was such a big boy.  I had my backpack and I was ready to go. I didn't even cry (like some of my friends) when my Mom dropped me off.  I love school!

Did you know...

...that I'm going to be a big brother??

Animal Kingdom fun...

 The day after Disneyworld we went to Animal Kingdom.  I got to sit back and ride in style!

 Mommy, Cobus and I went on a safari.  It was great! We got to see giraffes, elephants, lions, tigers and so many other animals.

 Then afterwards we went to have lunch with Donald & Daisy.  Hopscotch was as close as I wanted to get to them that day!!  Then FINALLY, once Daisy came by, I started to warm up!

 Then we found the African drums.  I had SO MUCH fun playing them.  I told Cobus I wanted a set at home!
