Dang It...

...Jen beat me to wishing Josh Happy Birthday. However I did call him around 10 am Arizona time, so I might have been first. Anyway, Happy 24th birthday Josh... and many more! Love Kassie

Hey, we just wanted to wish Josh a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Wish we could be there with you to celebrate but I hope you have a great day. Love you Josh!!!! And by the way, why haven't Mark and Stacey posted yet? Hope to hear from you guys soon. Love, the Torres Family

Hello everyone!!! This is super fun Kassie thank you so much for setting it up. Well I tried to post something yesterday but after spending an hour figuring it out and putting it together at the last moment Ben turned off the computer on me so I would play with him. Anyway we aren't up to much. I've been working a lot now that Anthony is home. Anthony is doing a good job of taking care of the kids and making sure Michael is a well practiced Jedi and that he is up to date on all of the Star Wars facts. Benjamin is at the phase in his life where he does EVERYTHING Michael does which can be good and bad but either way it's super cute to watch. Kaitlin is doing great in school and is really a great big sister and very patient. I hope you can all hear her play the piano soon because she really is a beautiful player and she works really hard and is playing all the time. If she isn't playing the piano she's usually found reading and her latest books are the Harry Potter series. We just moved this past month and so this year has already been flying by. I can't believe it's going to be March already!!! I am excited for spring to come though. We have had alot of snow this year and I'm ready to be done with it. Okay that probably sounds totally retarded to you guys in Alaska. Well I'm inspired to take some more current pictures and I am looking forward to everyones posts!!! We love you guys and hope to see you soon!!! Love, The Torres Family

Your Mom is technically challenged!!!

I tried to fix my post but couldn't so take it for what it is! I also wanted to add that I love you all very very much.

Technically I am not an "Evans" YET but Josh and of course our daughter Abigail and the baby on the way is an Evans.
Well, Josh is off again today working on the duplex. We closed on the duplex, but still waiting for it to record so it can be officially ours. So, for the next several weeks josh will be very busy between work and fixing the duplex so we can move in and so we can get renters in the bottom half of it. I keep busy between taking care of the puppies (Missy past away 4 days after she had them), taking care of Abigail, doing housework, and going to school, and now working on packing things up to move hopefully into the duplex in a month or so. We are going to be keeping two of the puppies, Brian & Tonya will be keeping the girl puppy (Minnie), and one of our friends will be keeping the other puppy. I am very thankful that we have homes for the puppies.
Brian and Tonya are AWESOME because they took Abbie this weekend for us so I could help work on the duplex.
Other than that not much else is going on. Hope everyone is well and I will be posting some more pics sometime within the next week or so.

No, I am not an Evans.............

...but I am the mom of many, so I'll concede.

I don't do much more than work and rest for work lately, so I am pretty boring. I am dreaming of spring and planting flowers and making my yard really pretty, as well as painting the outside of my house. I want to paint it a wedgewood type blue with crisp white trim (crisp is my decorator term....NOT "make it POP".....I hate that term!) but I am not sure about the dark color. If anyone has a nice color combo (another homeowner decorator term) let me know!

This is a great idea Kassie! Thank you for setting it up and talking me through setting it up. Hopefully this will go to the right place.

Hello Everyone

Hi all

We are all well and just finished watching Abbie for the weekend while Josh & Hannah worked on their new house. Its always alot of fun having the kids together. Other than waiting for warmer weather theres no a whole lot going on. Michael was the City North Pole's student of the month. We are very proud. Tyler says next year he's going to be the student of the month.

Kassie says Nathan is going to try to come up and go hunting this year that will be alot of fun. Dave, Mark & Anthony you are all welcome to come. Hannah even said that Josh can go if Wawa can be here to help with the babies, so what the heck everyone should show up and visit, enjoy each others company and maybe even murder an innocent animal. Sounds like a good reason for a family get together to me. Mary Beth has yet to come up here as promised. (its okay I still love ya.)

Thanks Kassie for always keeping in touch and encouraging others to do the same. Without you I would put it off until the end of time.Well I love you all and will write more soon.

Hi everybody! Yes indeed we are an Evans.

I think it's really cool of Kassie to put this together, thanks Kassie! I look forward to hearing from you guys, I hope you are all well. I know that congratulations are in order for Josh and Hannah as they finally closed on their house...Great going guys, you're now officially in debt.

Janette and I are very well, we're getting ready to go snowboarding in Park City with Mark, Stacey, and some other friends as well. I think we're going to get to see Meemaw while there as well, she's not too far from Park City. Provided we don't break our necks or other limb, I'm sure we'll have a great time. We both have been working a lot the past few weeks, but we've managed to enjoy the past few weekends hanging out together shopping, cooking, and even attended a wedding for Jerry's son Wesley, which turned out to be a weekend long gathering that was a lot of fun.

Okay, so we really hope to read what you guys post. We love you all, and look forward to seeing you, or at least some of you, very soon.

Hello Hello!

So, I thought I would go ahead and quickly post something so our blog doesn't look so abandoned. Hopefully in the next few days everyone will have posted something and this page will be bursting with signs of life. Am I starting to sound desperate for people to post yet? I am just excited to see pictures and videos of everyone and hopefully the kids can write too! Anyway, if you can't figure things out just email me or leave a comment (if you can handle that) and I will help if I can. Welcome to our first family website!
