I love this picture of Ian. For Eve's birthday she got this bunny from Aunt Anica at Build-a-Bear. I am not sure how but somehow the bunny got adopted. This picture was taken while Eve was napping... so she was nowhere nearby to make sure her bunny was being taken care of.

Grandma Mil's House

We have been MIA for the past two weeks because Eve and I went to visit my mom. It was a fun visit. We got to be there for her birthday. We ordered in Oceanview for her birthday and you can see Eve took possession of the containers of sour cream and guacamole. She loved it!

She scored at grandma's house with new shoes!! She got not one, but two pairs of shoes! What more could a girl want? We did a lot of hanging around the house and cleaning but it was a fun visit with my mom and Alice. We are glad that they were able to have us there and spoil us.

Yo baby! How you doin?

So Eve was eating dinner at this high end restaurant rockin the sweet shades when her closest friend, Elmo, walked in. Eve shouts, "Yo baby!" with her finger pointed so there was no doubt who she was talkin to. When Elmo acknowledged Eve she gave him the Jack Nicholson "What's up".

Ok, I have no idea what the Jack Nicholson "What's up" is but she kinda looked like him with the sunglasses and crazy hair. I had to be super sneaky to get these pictures of Eve. I swear she has a seventh sense about the camera (her sixth is knowing where to hide things from mommy and daddy so they will never be found again...her toothbrush has been lost for days). All I have to do is take the camera out and she will stop doing the super cool thing that I want to take a picture of. To get these I had to use the bad guy escape method number 3 that they show in movies. You know the one. The one where they use mom as a human shield and dive to cover while laying down some suppressive fire. Its a difficult maneuver to pull off but I've nearly mastered it these days. The results are worth the bumps and bruises that come from dive miscalculations.

This was Ian and this was my first post. I hope you had fun, I know I did! ;)

Disclaimer: There were probably no animals harmed while making this post... but if you see my cat typing again get a picture, I need proof.

Sick People

We are sick. This is what we look like when we are hanging around sick at the house.

My Daredevil

Sometimes Eve reminds me so much of Ian that it makes me laugh. The other morning she was standing on top of the seat of her bike doing a cool trick. She thought it was hilarious that she could do this cool trick. It reminds me of Ian wanting to whip around parking lots while I am hanging on for dear life... he is so much more of a daredevil that I am. I dread the day when she gets even more adventurous. I have the feeling there are many injuries in her future.

Chasing the Dragon

When Eve started walking we got her this cute little dragon push toy. We thought that she would really love playing with it. Well she does love playing with it but the way that she plays with it was not the way that I imagined. She gets the dragon out and brings it over to me. She then runs away from me. I am expected to chase after her while she is running away, there is nothing like the anticipation of the clacking sound of the dragon on the wood floor to get her running faster and laughing harder. This game of chase is all that she wanted to do today. I am exhausted!! A mom can only be a dragon for so long.

Looking Sharp

Eve loves styling her hair with her food. It is hilarious when she gets food all over her hands and then spikes her hair or pretends she is washing it with shampoo. This is her after the food has been cleaned out of her hair (that's why her shirt is wet). She is also loving putting on people's clothes... if it is anywhere she will wear it. Anything from slippers to sweatshirts she will find a way to put it on.
