Little Sleeper

I know this just looks like a picture of Carter sleeping (and it is) but it's a milestone for me. I just finished a flash course this weekend from my AWESOME photography teacher. It opened me to a whole new world. Seriously. So, even if Carter had had his eyes wide open (that would have been a little creepy) he wouldn't have had any red eye or anything. It was PITCH black in his room when I took this picture! YEAH!

Shower Time

Nicole had a fun baby shower put on by her sisters-in-law, Megan and Rachel. This was one of the favorite gifts, given to Nicole and Jon by Jon's sisters of course!

There were some cute and pretty decorations...
The picture doesn't do this justice, but this was a fun centerpiece. That baby will have some fun bath time!

Nicole got some cute clothes for the babe.
Nicole LOVED being the center of attention!

Lynette (salon owner), Sarah (salon worker), and Megan(Jon's sister)

Some really nice and fun friends of Nicole
Some really great sistas of Nicole

and yes, Nicole really is that tiny!

5. She has a compassionate heart.

6. We love the way she looks at life

8. She always laughs at your jokes even when they are super corny.

9. You know she trying to do what's right

10. She's the BEST sister ever!

WE LOVE YOU! HOPE YOUR DAY IS GREAT.

A Little Dose of Hannah

Grammie has been asking for a little dose of Hannah. Here is a little video Ben took of her while Evelyn was at preschool. She is a cutie. There is a little bit of her angry voice in there, it's hard not to laugh when she does that. She does it mostly at Evelyn.

Just a side note, it was Evelyn that got us all calling oatmeal porrige after she read the three bears.

First day to the Park

Yesterday was Tyler's first day to the park. However, I forgot to take the camera to the park so I don't have any pictures. I took this one before we left so just imagine him laying in the stroller with his eyes closed. I think looks pretty cute, but I may be biased.

little bear

I got this really cute bear outfit last Christmas (Thanks Jen). I have been so excited for Blake to grow into it so he could wear it. I have put it on him a couple of times and it has always been to big. So I thought, " Hey, Blake will definitely be big enough by Halloween and he could be a little bear." Well, he is definitely big enough...maybe to big. Here's hoping that Tyler will fit into it next year.

Birthday Princess

We just wanted to say thank you for the birthday wishes and presents. Evelyn definitely was treated like and felt like royalty on her birthday! Thank you all!

This picture makes me laugh. She got to take home the preschool Curious George for the weekend. Part of taking him home is taking your picture with him and writing a little piece about what George got to do over the weekend. Evelyn dressed him up like a prince for a princess party.

As you can see, Evelyn and George have been inseparable. We wanted to use this picture for the preschool book, but Evelyn's arms are crossed almost morbidly.

Random pic: here is our house in the fall time!

Happy Birthday!!

Little Miss Evieboo! We wanted to wish you a happy birthday. We're sure today was wonderful but now you can listen to Carter sing you happy birthday every day of the year. We love you!!!
