Eva's First Birthday

Emma & Ella loved their Valentines parties at school. Just like Christmas they both got to enjoy twoarties, since they participated in each others. Eva got to participate, as well, with big sis Emma's help. The girls had a great time at the circus. Poppy went, so there was cotton candy for all (icluding Mommy)!! Eva is such a happy baby! I guess she has no choice, big sisters are loving on her non stop. Ella has a hard time understanding that she can't so everything Emma is able to do with Eva. We had a small incident last week when Ella tried to pick her up and move her across the room. As Dave said, we knew it would happen sooner or later, we are just glad sweet Eva is not hurt! As Dr. Patterson said, luckily babies are mostly cartilage in the beginning! :) Emma turned 5 on Thursday - her party is this week, however.So, look for party pictures next! Eva just had her 4 month checkup -She is 13 lbs. 2 ounces 24 inches. She did great eating cereal with a spoon for the first time. Ella will be 4 in a month and is trying her best to catch up with Emma. She is trying to covince me to skip 4 alltogether and let her be 5!! It seems like we stay crazy around here!! DeeDee & Beth - I don't know how you do it!!!

Happy New Year to everyone. I know I haven't updated in a while, but December was a little busy. Here are some pics from Christmas, and just playing around with Paige & David's new camera! We had a wonderful Christmas - Emma & Ella were so cute this year. When Emma saw what Santa brought, she said, " Mommy! Santa saw in my dreams!" Because, he brought her what she had asked for. Unfortunately I left my camera at my Grandmother's, so all we have is a video, which I can't share here! Ella loved it all too, it just took her longer to wake up! She takes after me! Dave is striking a pose with 2 of our nephews, Josh & Jerimey. They were watching the Titans Christmas Eve. Also, Uncle David with Emma and Ella with cousin Gabe on Christmas Eve. We wish everyone a wonderful 2007!

Here are the most recent pics of Baby Eva. She had her 2 week appoinment last week. She now weighs 8 pounds 10 ounces, and is doing great! Mom & Dad are still a bit sleep deprived... Jodi took these awesome pictures of her. Also, paige (my sister-in-law) took some as well, and assisted Jodi! I am only putting up a few, I hopefully will be getting her birth announcements out soon. Emma & Ella are still in love with her. Ella doesn't even cover her ears anymore when Eva cries. They sing to her, instead! Also, here are our pics from Halloween. Emma is the bride, Ella the leopard, and Eva the flower! We did manage to go to trunk or treat at our church for a bit, until it got to cold!

Rascal Flatts was Eva's last concert in the womb. Ha!! What a great show. Here you will see Dave & I along with Chuck, Brad, Marsha & Shannon. Next, is "Lessons from the Pro." What an awesome day we had with Daddy at the golf course. Obviously I rode and did not play, but the girls had a ball!! At least until Emma picked up the ball of the group behind us. Luckily they were nice people. Finally, the two princesses at the Princesses on Ice at Gaylord. It was so sweet just to watch their little faces!!
