All About Evan

Evan

I've wrote a post about Addi and Karsyn.  Today, it's Evan's turn.  I'll write about Payton soon. =) As hard of a decision as it was to let Evan skip a grade, it comes with such relief to say that he is doing great.  He is on the Honor Roll and loves being challenged.  His teacher told me that he'll do great next year in middle school, because he's very organized.  She also told me that he's doing great socially.

 

Evan loves all things sports.  Last week was kind of crazy, because basketball and soccer season collided.  Wouldn't you know his practices were scheduled at the exact same time?  Fortunately, it was only for one week.  His last soccer game of the season was on Saturday, so Evan can focus just on basketball now.  Besides playing sports, Evan loves to watch just about any game that comes on.  He especially loves the Green Bay Packers (much to Daddy's dismay. lol),   OKC Thunder, and any sports that The University of Oklahoma plays.  Boomer! Sooner!  It's down right amazing the amount of sports statistics my little guy knows.  I love listening to him talk sports with my grandpas and my dad.  

 

When Evan's not watching sports, he really enjoys reading.  He can't wait to read the next book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.  He recently read the book Hatchet for a school project.  I was kind of excited about that, because I really enjoyed reading it when I was in school.  He's also read the first book in the Harry Potter series.  Since we've heard so many different view points of  Harry Potter books, Daddy read it first and decided it was okay for Evan to read.

 

Evan's favorite food is pepperoni pizza.  I'm pretty sure that he could eat it for every meal every day.  He loves Rocky Road ice cream too.  He loves just about any kind of fruit and a few veggies.  He's still my pickiest eater, but he's no where near as picky as what he used to be.    

 

Evan really believes in early to bed, early to rise.  He goes to bed at 8:00 p.m. every night.  He's usually the first asleep.  He's always up before 7:00 a.m., even if he gets to stay up past bed time.  Most mornings, he'll quietly come into the living room and watch a game that he's recorded, until everyone else is awake. 

 

 

Evan really enjoys playing video games.  It's probably not a big surprise, but he loves to play football and basketball on his DSi and the Wii.  He's really good at Wheel of Fortune too and beats me often.  And no, I don't give him a feel good win.   He's just that good!

 

Evan has a very kind and compassionate heart.  At school, he joined a group called K-Kids that finds helpful things to do in our community.  A few months ago, we were out shopping and there was a little boy that was standing outside of a business all alone.  Just as I was noticing the situation, Evan walked over to him and asked him where his mommy was and how long he had been alone.  We made sure to help the little boy and Evan still wonders how he is doing.

 

Evan is a really good big brother.  He loves his sisters and is pretty great with them....when he's not arguing with them. =)  He's really good at helping out with them and with the house.  For the most part, he always keeps his room clean too. 

 

Jason and I feel blessed everyday to have a son like Evan!
