Evelyn turns two!

Pretty Baby -

So hard to believe you are TWO already, then again we can't really imagine our life without you!

You are sugar, spice, and everything sassy; all.the.time.

we wouldn't have it any other way.

you are loud but shy, sweet but bossy, always moving but love to snuggle.

you love trucks and you love makeup.
the opposite ends of all spectrums, at the same time, most times.

your emotions are big, but so is your love.

you are starting to talk and form sentences. exciting for us since we feel like you were a late talker compared to your brothers. you are sleeping about 12 hours at night yet, still napping in the afternoons.

putting this the best way i can: you are a tank. 100% solid chubba bubba. its the cutest thing ever and while I know you will change and grow, i sure am enjoying smooching all your chub and rolls. You are in some 3T even already (gotta keep that belly covered!)

Because of leaving two days after your birthday for our trip, we skimped this year, though we know you still felt loved!

we celebrated with G&G Slagh for you, Sawyer and Jett. You actually had fun opening presents this year!

not so sure about the candles, but loved the cupcake!

On your actual birthday we had to run to Sam's Club, so your brothers let you help pick out your gift. Of course, it was a truck, with a horse trailer. You LOVE trucks, and everyone laughed when I suggested them for gifts for you.

We also went to Gramma & Grampas for lunch to celebrate (again because of the trip), where you got another truck toy (littlest pet shop) and your brothers got their Christmas presents early since they would need them for the flight.

So much fun celebrating you not only for your birthday but every day! You sure light up our lives, princess! We love you to the moon and back!

thanksgiving 2016

We spent a wonderful thanksgiving weekend up north with Brandon's family. We always love when we can get up there and spend time together and be outside!

Our boys spent most of their days outside on their quads. :)

they did stop for a few "undie party breaks" and an occasional snack

Evie wanted to ride more than she actually did, but she spent about 99% of the weekend in a helmet anyway!

Early saturday morning I came down with the stomach flu, so we came home which was a good thing because every 48 hours after that it claimed another one of us. Harrison was the last to get it and actually threw up at school. Talk about mom guilt! We had a great weekend despite being sick and were reminded just how much we have to be thankful for EACH DAY!

I always love how the kids answer these, I was all smiles to find this on Harry's classroom door. :)
