face full o' frosting

my cousin kim invited us to her son landon's 2nd birthday party up in idaho and we thought it was a perfect opportunity to go back to the state chock full of our college memories and of course to celebrate landon's birthday.  it was also a good excuse to see our besties steve and gwen.

everton and i with kim and landon!  the boys were busy stuffing their face with frosting.

love my cuz.

our fam bams.

when everton first got his savory and sugary cupcake he plopped himself on a chair and chowed down.  that's pretty much the moment he was looking forward to since we got to the party.  we're so glad we came and partied with landon and were able to hang out with the filipino fam from idaho.

then whenever we go to idaho we HAVE to hang out with steve and gwen.  and they were graceful enough to let us stay with them for the 3 day weekend.  and we got to meet their newest addition, baby zeke!  he made me so baby hungry.  he's about 7 months and is possibly the most chill baby ever.

and i was so surprised at how much everton wanted to take care of zeke.  he tried holding him (with me actually holding zeke,) and would give him his bottle.  it just touched my heart feeling that maybe everton does need a little sib and that he could help out with him.  and then everton proceeded to throw a phone at zeke's face.  well, with everton's face in that last pic i think our next kid needs to sleep with one eye open with everton around.

as much as i griped and complained about living in idaho, it will always have a special place in my heart.  i mean, that's where i had some of the best times in college (at least for an LDS girl who doesn't drink,) it's where i met and was proposed to by my husband, and let's be real, it's where we made everton!  we also made some of the greatest friends we could have in this life.

now we're back in tooele.  brett goes to work while everton and i are cooped up in the house.  with the super dry weather and the heater constantly on, brett and i have been getting bloody noses like crazy.  we really need a humidifier...

oh, and scary story of the day-everton sharted himself and i went on to clean his booty.  scary enough huh?  the deed was done and i threw away the diaper.  then while lunch was cooking, everton and i were hangin out on the couch and i glanced to the floor and there i saw it.  a boulder sized turd sitting on one of the puzzle boards.  i was and am still mortified.  it bewildered me, did everton undo his pjs and diaper and drop one in the living room?  did a dog break in?  false to both.  i realized that the fecal matter must've fallen out of the diaper while i was cleaning everton.  ehhhhhh it still makes me cringe thinking that everton could've been playing with it or doing who knows what to it...

*shudders*

also, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my awesome sis kyla!

she's going to be popping out a baby boy in june!!  it'll be excellent, another kid for everton to wrassle.
