4th of July

The weekend before the 4th of July we went out to the lake with Nathan and Amber. We watched fireworks the first night on the lake and relaxed the rest of the weekend.

Evie loved the sparklers, she is definitely not afraid of fire!

Smores break
Later that week on the actual 4th of July we went out to the Frisco Freedom fest with Ali and Trevor and watched the FC Dallas soccer game and of course more fireworks!


Evie entranced in the game
Well really my iphone mostly kept her attention

I think Evie had had her share of fireworks for the year as she repeated a couple times on our way home "no more fireworks, no more fireworks"!

Evie is 2!

I can't believe it's been 2 whole years since Evie came into our world and changed us forever! She's got so much spunk, energy, and smiles that never end! She is quite creative and always surprising to see her little mind work! It is fun as she starts to talk full sentences we can start to have conversations. She loves to color, do puzzles, read books and my is she quite a little chef! She gets a little offended if I don't let her clean with me and is recently learning how to vacuum (we start early in this house :). She is becoming quite a little swimmer and loes to play in the water even if it is just the hose. She also is still a great sleeper and loves her crib so much I wonder if she will ever want to go to a big bed! She definitely can have quite a little attitude and has her amount of fits! But she still is a cutie and makes us laugh more and more as we watch her grow and become a little girl!

We had some present opening, pancake eating and a little swimming on Evie's actual birthday. Evie was getting pretty good at opening presents by now!




 We went to Jack Carter Pool with Evie's friend Maggie and they had so much fun together!
 Evie couldn't get enough of those slides!
 Eating some lunch--I think the 100 degree heat is getting to those girls!



Those silly girls--so cute!

The Lake

My parents recently bought a lake house just outside of Dallas so we have been having lots of fun spending time out there. We were able to go out there with my mom when she was in town and we spent part of the time cleaning and organizing and the other part relaxing on the lake. Can't wait to spend more time out there!

A Birthday Splash!

We had Evie's 2 year old birthday party at a Frisco Splash park and it was so much fun! There were 4 birthday parties out there all at the same time so it was a little crazy but Evie just saw it as more friends to play with! I had a "Under the Sea" theme and thought it turned out pretty cute!
