Easter 2012

Well, we managed to almost be well this Easter! Last Easter I was struck by a horrible stomach bug and ended up in the hospital. We were hoping that this year we would all be well so that we could hunt eggs and have some fun! Eva and Mason ended up with ear infections, and I ended up with Strep throat. Um, Bummer! But thankfully with some heavy pain medicine I was able to participate in a fun Easter. This year we had lunch and an Egg hunt at the Leavelle's. It was so fun! Here are some pictures from the day:

Mason asked me to take his picture and he struck this pose on his own for the camera. Hilarious.
Sooo excited for her first egg hunt ever!

Bee-leven Months

Eva is 11 months old!! Wow!! I titled this blog entry Bee-leven months because that is how Mason says eleven. It's cute, people! Our Eva is such a big girl now. She is saying several words, including uh-oh (which is her favorite), Mama and Dada. She will also repeat short single syllable words that we speak to her - like Boo, Up, or Oh. It is so fun to see her grasp and develop a vocabulary.
I am a busy bee planning the big birthday bash. Since their birthdays are only a couple of weeks apart, I decided to do a joint birthday party for kiddos. So, the theme is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and all the boys stuff will be caterpillar and all the girls stuff will be butterfly! We decided to have a cookout and invite some of our closest friends from church. Hopefully, some family will be able to come too!
Eva is developing more personality every day. She loves to give hugs and kisses and is definitely a daddy's girl. I mean big time! She is starting to display displeasure when Mama won't let her do what she wants. I feel some terrible two's coming on awfully fast...
Eva, we can't wait to celebrate your big day with you here in a couple of weeks. We love you sweetie!
