Evey Strawberry Picking March 13, 2010

Hi All,

At the beginning of March the weather was just perfect and strawberry season had just started. Here are some pictures of Evey picking strawberries on March 13, 2010 on the opening day of strawberry season at Froberg Farm; Alvin, TX. At the beginning of March Evey could walk quite well, though when the terrain got rough she preferred to be carried :) Sorry about how long it took to post these photos.

Evey's 1st Birthday

Hi All,

Evey is 1 year old !!! Can you believe its been 1 year already ? It seems like only yesterday that she rolled over for the first time. And now she is standing well and using her walker, almost walking. She can pick up a toy animal that you name. She can see the word gorilla and make gorilla noises or clap her hands when she sees the word clap. She can pick up a triangle, circle, square or hexagon when you ask her for one. She likes saying the words Daddy and Cat, and sometimes Mommy when she's upset ;) She likes the show 'Between the Lions'.

To celebrate her 1st birthday I've upload many many pictures. The first set of pictures were taken during a photo shoot. I won't go into detail of each of these photos, I think they speak for themselves.

After those pictures are just of Evey and others during her birhtday week. There is her out to breakfast with Aunty Heather, at Jimmy Eggs (thanks Aunty Gretchen & Uncle Steve for the Gift Card). Then there are picts of her at her favorite restaurant, the Aquarium on Kemah Boardwalk. She gets to stare at the fish while Mommy and Daddy eat their lunch. There is a photo of her video chatting with Grandma Tany and Grandpa Gary on her birthday. Then there are several pictures of her birthday party. With her little friends Gus and Wyatt and her bigger friends Aunty Heather, Uncle Tony, Aunty Heather, Aunty Kelly, Aunty Tiff, Aunty Hannah, Uncle Andy, Tia Keyla and Uncle Tom (who picked up the BBQ for the part, thanks Tom!) There is also a picture of her reading one of her birthday cards and an older picture of her petting Sampson outside, when we had a stretch of warm weather a week or so ago.

We've had a wonderful year with Evey and we're looking forward to another great one :D

Christmas Vacation Update

Hi All. We hope everyone's Christmas Break was fantastic. Here are some pictures and movies of Evey over her Christmas break. Well, the Santa Picture was technically taken in November, but it was Christmasy so I included it :D.



The picture of Mommy and Evey next to the tree was taken on Christmas Day. The picture of her testing out her new potty and the first movie were also from Christmas Day. And so is the picture of Daddy and Evey, where she is in her Radio Flyer Wagon. The picture of Evey and Mommy outside was the day after Christmas, where she's trying out her new outdoor shoes. :D







During the break Gretchen, Steve and little Owen came for a visit. There is a picture of us at the Moody Gardens Aquarium Pyramid getting a snack on New Years Eve. There is also a picture of Evey checking out a turtle and some seals. She really liked the Aquarium. She would talk to the fishies a lot. I'm not sure what she was saying but she was having a great time just sitting in front of the large fish tank watching all the different sea creatures go by. There is alslo a picture of us in front of the large Christmas tree that was at Moody Gardens. There is also a picture of Evey and Owen getting ready to go for a ride in the Radio Flyer, fun all around. :D

Then there are just a few photos of Evey early Jan (11 months old now) and of her petting Sampson. There is a video of her, from today. She was sort of steping between Daddy and Mommy. Mostly just falling from one of us to the other, but occasionally she'd take one step before falling forward. She's getting real close to walking, she'll probably do it when our backs are turned. ;)
