Happy Birthday Evelyn!

Evelyn seemed to enjoy being made much of for her birthday! We sang to her many times throughout the day, and she laughed and smiled each time. She loved eating cake with us!

Evelyn did a great job being a one-year-old when it came to her presents. She was far more interested in the wrapping than the gifts. Thank goodness she had a big brother to explore the new toys for her.

Then we had fun getting a special picture if the kids in our new playroom chair. They both like the new arrangement with more room for play, and the bright green chair.

Cowgirl Evelyn

I think Evelyn will be a real horsewoman for the family. This picture begins to express the delight she had in her first ride on Drew's rocking horse. She giggled and laughed herself silly!

Springtime in the yard

Construction Birthday

We had a great time building at Drew's construction themed birthday party. The kids painted, bull dozed a tower of boxes with their bodies, and navigated a wagon load of lumber through a maze in the yard. We had fun fellowship with other moms and dads too! Not to mention a special guest appearance by Drew's dear Sunday School teacher Miss Leslie and her roommate Miss Kate.

March trip to Grandma's house

And now for a little catching up! We had so much fun visiting Grandma Joyce in Albuquerque! Drew was pretty impressed with the hat he found at the Covered Wagon store. Evelyn had fun giggling for Grandma!

We had lots of great meals at Grandmas house, but she let us take her out one night to County Line BBQ, a must visit in Albuquerque!

I don't think I have ever gotten to play in the snow in 60 degree weather before - but here Drew and I are sledding. Since he kept landing in the snow, his jacket stayed on. The grown-ups were too hot!

And here we are in downtown Old Albuquerque. Thank you for a wonderful visit Grandma!

Spring in DC

Just a few cute shots of the kids and the beautiful spring we're enjoying!

EasterPictures

We had a fun Easter Dinner at our house on Sunday. It was our first official holiday event with a kids table - wow! Evelyn had already been sent to nap by the time we took some pictures. Maybe we'll stage a few later in her Easter dress. Here's her cute little buddy Matthew Morgan who was still awake for a really cute picture, and down below you can see our other guests.
