My baby

My little baby Eva is getting so big. She loves to follow her older sisters around. Her newest trick is she loves to climb the ladder into the tree house and go down the slide. She thinks she is pretty big. She gets mad when someone tries to help her. She will go up and down for an hour. She gets so mad when it's time to go inside. Her favorite word is NO. She says Here you Go, mama, dada, dog, bye, makes kissy noises and hug noises (It sounds like EE aww) for those that don't know. She is pretty cute!
It makes me so nervous to see her climb the ladder. So I always have someone stand right behind her.

Eva loves to go to sleep in her bed. I got it out because she kept climbing in with her sister and laying next to them. She would get so mad when I put her in the crib, so I tried it. I left the crib up for a night to make sure she would stayin the bed. She did, she loves it and will even take a nap almost every day.

Cruiser Update

So, the cruiser is technically up and running, but I hope all the small things will be done soon, so we can take it to Moab in a few weeks and so Scott will start on my Suburban. But here are a few of the latest things Scott's has been building.

A custom skid plate! It doesn't look exciting, but we can't go to Moab without it.
Bumper with winch mount

test fitting the soft top.

He still has to paint everything he has built, but I hope we make it to MOAB!

Eva turns One

Where has the time gone? I really can't believe you are already one year old. It makes me so sad. You are such a cute happy little spunky girl. You love cake or candy or anything with sugar. I can tell you are my 4th child because I don't think Annie knew what sugar was yet. Sorry


You learned how to crawl up and down the stairs all by yourself this month. Yahoo. Say good bye to the baby gate!


You aren't walking by yourself yet, but you love to walk behind your new grocery cart or anything else that you can push. You love to grab mom or dads hands to walk too!

You love to play with toys of any kind as long as someone is in the room too.

I had to snap this picture because you are playing with the dolls. How cute is that!

We love you EVA!

A few random pictures

My cute kids and dogs. It doesn't matter how many pics I take, I can't get a cute one of everyone. They are cute, but not what I was looking for.

The cute little bundle being dragged through the front room would be poor little Eva (4th child).
I'm not a horrible mom, she wasn't crying or sad.

Congratulations to Annie! She drew a picture for the yearbook contest and was the winner for the 3rd graders. She is quite the little artist.




I have to say that I was so sad I put Margaret in afternoon kindergarten until I realized the joy of not having to pick up my girls after school. Annie and Margaret are so cute. They love to walk home everyday. Maybe it's the snack I put in their backpacks!

Margaret is such a girl. She wants to wear dresses or skirts everyday. I try and tell her how cold it will be at recess, but she doesn't care. She loves them anyway.

Reflections Contest

Annie entered and won the Reflections Contest. She took this picture with her own camera while we were in Yellowstone in September. Now they are sending her photo down to be judged in our region. We are so proud of you Annie.
Here is her photo.
