If it gets too quiet

Evy is probably doing this!

 

Oops

We were playing in Evy's playroom when this happened...



She went over to sit on her drum and the lid slide off and she fell in...

She was pretty mad that I was focused on taking pictures rather than helping her get out!

 

Birthday Party Fun

One of my best friends, Sarah, moved from Texas to Wisconsin last year.  We were so sad her family was moving so far away.  So any time she makes it to this area to visit her family we try do what we can to see her and her family.  Sarah has two precious girls and her youngest is just 3 months younger than Evy.  We were thrilled they were celebrating her 1st birthday in Oklahoma.


Evy wanted to play with all of Morgan's toys

I love you, Sarah!

It was so good to spend a few hours with Sarah and her family.  Sarah, I treasure our friendship and always look forward to our time together.  Can't wait to see you again!

Life At The Farm

Once a month Evy gets to go stay on the farm {my parents home}.  She loves visiting the farm and experiences new things each time.  This month's visit included:


meeting her new friend "Kit-ty",

learning how to plank,

playing in the cow's water bucket

{I promise it was cleaned out before my parents let her swim in it}

love this look

drawing with sidewalk chalk

drawing on herself with chalk

and gazing at the cows

Although we miss her terribly when she's gone those few days, it is such a blessing that my parents offer us this "time off".  And, I know Evy doesn't really miss us during that time {tear} because she is having too much fun learning about and exploring the farm.

15 months

Evy is now 15 months old!  It's hard to believe!  On her 15 month birthday I decided it was time for her to try out her art skills.  So I bought her the cutest crayons and a pad of paper.  She loved them all!

She had so much fun "drawing" with her new crayons.  Of course, after a few minutes she decided she wanted to taste them and bit off the tip of the blue one.  So we had to brush her teeth to get the blue crayon off.  But, she still loved it!

Summer Nights

There is nothing better in the summer than running barefoot in the cool grass
