Welcome to the COBBweb!!!: Evan is SEVEN!!

I can't believe my little Evan is now seven!! He's been so excited to rhyme now for so many weeks!! It's finally a reality!

For Evan's birthday I decided he could travel to Maine with his Father for a graveside service for his Grandma Cobb. Wasn't that nice of me?? Anyway, it really was! He got spoiled by everyone and really loved getting to see his grandparents again.

Him and Josh left on Thursday the 9th. We got the to the airport at like 5:30am. Another note to self. . . if ever possible, don't wake the kids up just for a drive to the airport, it really makes for cranky kids the rest of the day!!

Evan had fun at Grandma Moxcey's house.

This is in the backyard.

I don't know where this is at, but I thought it was a cute picture. They went to an Alpaca farm and got to see some baby Alpaca's.

This was one of the favorite pictures of Evan's from that trip. He thought it was funny.

They had a party at her house that night. He got lots of fun things to play with! He even got cupcakes.

The next day they went to Grandpa Cobb's house. He also had lots of gifts and things for Evan for his birthday. They went to lunch at Great-Grandpa Cobb's and then he took Evan and Josh to Walmart and Evan got a new bike!!! I should have taken a picture of it, but didn't think of it until this very moment! It's orange, and Evan is excited to take the training wheels, that they bought to put on the bike, off. He doesn't need them anyway. I'm glad he finally got a new bike. The one he got when he was three. . . well, he's outgrown that one.

I told Josh I wanted a picture of Evan on his last night as a six year old. . .

and one the morning of his birthday, as a new 7 year old. I can tell a difference, can't you??

They went to the graveside service that day, and then drove to Albany. They got a room and ate pizza and stayed up watching movies until late. They had to do something extra special on the actual day of his birth!

The next morning they drove the rest of the way home. They got here about 9am. I was just finishing Evan's cake. It was nice to see them.

After church, the first thing we did was open presents!!

He was excited.

The first present he opened were some clothes from his Grandma and Grandpa Dance. He put them on right away!

The second gift was also from his Grandma and Grandpa Dance. Twister!! He said, I know this game! He was pretty excited.

Then he started in on the presents his parents got him. I can't tell you what the first one is, because I don't really know. I just knew he wanted it, so I got it for him. It's some kind of Bakugan thing. . . hexoid dragonoid something or other. He seems to know.

The second one I knew!! It was a star wars lego ship. He has started building it, but it'll take a little time.

These are scanopedia smart animals. He got the starter kit for Christmas, so I wanted to make sure he got more animals. It's pretty cool. It teaches him about the animals and where on the map they live and what not. He likes it. Now with more animals it's even cooler!!

For dinner Evan requested Crepes. We eat them for dinner with chicken, ranch, stir-fry like vegetables, and apples all inside. We wrap them up and eat them like tacos. They really are yummy!! He really likes them, and he likes having left over crepes. For FHE tonight he has treats, and we will use the crepes as the desert with ice cream inside and strawberries and chocolate sauce on the top! He's excited for that too!

Just a better shot. Sorry, no shots of the inside!!

Evan wanted a T-rex cake this year. So that is what he got. If you can't tell by the picture, that is a T-rex. He's just a little nervous to get his picture taken!!

Evan and him became fast friends.

We had friends over to help us eat this cake, so we didn't have to do it all ourselves!! It was a fun ending to the night in which WE actually celebrated his birth!

Though it did continue into this morning. I took these to school for Evan's class.

He had wanted t-rex cake pops, but how I had planned on doing that didn't really work. So because I ran out of time, he got little monster/alien cake pops. Some actually look like people though.
