Some favorite pictures

Here are some favorite pictures that I have taken in the last couple of weeks.

Enjoy!!

Evie's first haircut

On friday night, Evie got her first haircut. She was going to have her pictures taken on saturday and I thought that it would be a good time to give her her first cut. She did really well, as long as we gave her something to snack on and play with:)

Here we are getting ready.

First cut!

Just a little bit off the back.

All done!

Evie's First Birthday!!!

Evie turned one this last friday, we just can't believe that time has gone by so fast! Our little baby has turned into a very cute little girl, and we thank God for her everyday:) On Evie's birthday, I took her into Wayzata to take some pictures of her. She had so much fun exploring all the new things around her(she even tried to taste some of them)!

She liked the tree, but she wouldn't give it a hug:)

Here she is trying to eat some leaves.

The fence was very long, she loved walking along it.

Later in the evening, Andy took a picture of us on our patio.

On Saturday afternoon we had Evie's birthday party. But I surprised Andy and Krista and invited lots of family and a few friends to come to a surprise party for them at the same time. They both turned the big 30 this last month. They had no idea when we showed up that the party was for them too!!!! I was so thankful that I hadn't given away the surprise, thank you to everyone that kept the surprise too!!

We had a great time mingling with everyone that came and enjoyed really good cake and snacks too. Evie had no idea that the party was for her, she just loved being around lots of people. She didn't quite know what to think of her cake. She had fun playing with the frosting and the ducks that came with it. I gave her a piece of the cake and she didn't like it at all. Then after a while she didn't want to have anything to do with the cake. So we moved on to the gifts:)

This is Evie's Birthday cake

She didn't quite know what to think of it.

Here she started picking at it.

mmmmm..... yummy frosting!!

Hey mom look, I have a blue tongue!

Here we are opening her gifts. She got some very nice things!

Grandma gave Evie her first doll, she tried to eat the hair!

Here is our family.

After the party, Andy took Evie swimming!

Evie was given this really cool tunnel, she loved crawling through it when we got home.

We had a very wonderful and long day! A big "thank you" to everyone that helped out and to all those that came to the party. It wouldn't have been a party without you:)!!
