Evie, Evie, Evie

Hey Mom, I want you to take some pics of me and my talents. My biggest talent is this big, cute smile that I give to you all of the time.

Okay Mom, here is my series look, or you can call it my "you better watch it Coop."

Here is me flashing my belly. Please don't tell Daddy. He hates when I flash the one way.

Here is me flashing my belly and giving a smile.

Zoom in and get me mom.

Here is my tongue everybody.

Zoom in a little more and show everybody my beautiful blue eyes.

And, my cute little grin.

This is me standing up in my bed. I can't hold on for long, but I think that I am so big when I do this.

This is me on my belly. I will only roll over when Mom does not want me to roll.

This is me turning a 360 on my rug. I can turn completely around and find stuff.

Me needing a break from lifting my head. That thing is so heavy.

This is me sucking on my arm, and I have three fingers that I just love. I have to hide them from Mott, cause she does not like for me to suck on them.

Me using my shirt as a teething toy.

Okay Mom, picture time is over. I am ready for bed.

You talked me in to it Mom, just one more pose. This is what I call Evie being prissy, with my hand on my hip.

Mom, be sure and show everybody my cute new shoes.

Me getting ready for bed.

Okay, I am ready for bed.

See everybody later! This week is homecoming week, and Cooper is a little excited to say the least.

Levi


I don't think D'Ann knew that I was taking pics.
I think she enjoyed the castle more than the kids.

I have lots more pics of these two to come. They were born three days apart, and Cole was in the NICU with Evie. He was in because of some delivery trouble that his mom had, and he only had to stay about a week. He was lots bigger than Evie THEN, but she must have thought they were racing, cause she caught up and passed him.

Abigayle (for the fam that reads, this is Toni Chapman's little girl)
She is too cute, and she is one of E's fav-o-rite customers, just ask E!



Cooper and Abigayle



A couple of pictures of Cade and Cooper. I am not sure why they decided to stop and talk on the slide, but they did. They did not seem to be bothered just sitting that way, who knows!

I wish this pic would have turned out better, because it was too funny. Greg and Andy decided to talk to Levi, but he did not really want to talk to them. Those two scary men scared him, and he started crying. Poor Levi was just trying to slide.


I have determined that Evie and Cooper are growing so fast that I don't even realize it. I did not realize how tall Cooper is until lately, seeing him with others makes me realize that he has gotten tall and skinny. He is lots taller than all of the boys in his class. He is still loving school, and today when I picked him up, I saw three girls give him hugs before he left, "little hussies." Evie is home with Mott today. I hope everybody has a good week, and I promise to post some cute pics of Coop and Evie from Sunday, til then.

Evie & Gavin Converse---PJ Party

I hope everybody is having a good week. It is Cooper's turn to be the leader this week, and he is a "little excited" to say the least. Andy, GiGi and I took Cooper and Evie to the football game last Friday night. He enjoyed it, and he got to play with his buddies which is why he thinks you go to football games anyway. Cooper went to the camp with Andy, Paw Dave, and Myles Saturday, and Evie and I had lunch with Maw Trish. Then, we all went to Olive Garden with Nar-Nar and John for supper. We have another busy week and weekend, so stay tuned for pics. My camera is finally working a little better. I am not sure if it is the camera or operator, but I will not let it get the best of me.




PJ pictures from a couple of nights ago when Andy was out of town.


EVIE AND GAVIN CONVERSE

Evie: Hey Gav, could you please get off of my blanket! I am not talking to you because the stork gave you all of my hair, and I am SO angry about it! Because of my hair situation, my MOM makes me wear this bracelet all of the time so crazy people will know that I am a GIRL! You would think that all of the pink would clue them in, but SOME PEOPLE'S KIDS is all I have to say about that!
Gavin: My dad and I think and know you are a cute girl, Evie!
Evie: Oh really, my mom says not to believe a thing that comes out of your dad's mouth. I guess we can believe and agree on one thing, he does know cute when he sees it.
Gavin: He has some knowledge of cute, just look at me---

Gavin: Why are our crazy mom's taking pictures of us trying to lay on your blanket and have a simple conversation together.
Evie: I am not sure what the big deal is, you would think after all of the grown up mess we have to listen to all day, they would give us a break or some time to think with out having to hear all of that silly talk they do. You KNOW the silly talk, Gav.
Gavin: Yes, my mom does the silly talk. I am not laughing for her, I am laughing at her.
Evie: I hear you Gav, my MOM does all of these sounds with her mouth, and she sounds ridiculous. She is border line embarassing---

Evie: Gav, just grin and try to bear it.
Gavin: My legs will not stay still long enough for me to grin. How do you just lay with out moving?
Evie: Oh Gav, you are so silly, just be still please!
Gavin: I am trying, but I am training for a marathon.


Evie: Gav, I told you that running in place was going to make you spit up on me.
Gavin: I am sorry Evie, I am not sure if it was the running in place, or if I am nervous laying next to you in your bloomers. Where did your dress go?
Evie: Oh Gav, you know I sweat! I got way to hot in it. I had to get rid of that thing and let my belly stretch out.

Gavin: Your dad is not here, so will you hold my hand?
Evie: I will just lay my hand on you. If my dad finds out that we held hands, he will probably have a cow.

Gavin: We can just lay here and touch arms.
Evie: Sounds great Gav! You make me smile. Sorry for blaming you for me not having any hair.
Gavin: That's okay Evie, you will get some soon.
Evie: That's right!

Wondering

Just in case anybody is wondering if my little 4 pounder has caught up, PLEASE STOP!

Evie at birth weight, and she dropped down to 4-2 at one time, I know of for sure. We tried not to ask the nurses at certain times, because I was always scared of hearing a 3-something!

Evie at two months

Evie at four months. She was in the 95 to off the chart in her head, weight and length measurements at her check up for four months.

Evie tried out her, Coop's, highchair at Maw Trish and Paw Dave's house Sunday. She seemed to like it until she saw everybody eating but her.

Amazed by her toys

Evie watching Cooper eat. You can see she is so amazed by her brother.

Evie laughing

My littler Raider on Friday before school. He got to paint his face for game day. He really wanted to paint his chest also, but I had to insist that it was not a good idea.

Cooper at the boardwalk on Saturday. He really enjoyed his day. He thought we went on a trip since, most of the fam went. He loves all of us going places together.

Cooper is at school today, and Evie is at home with Mott. Cooper enjoys squealling these days, and today when I was home for lunch, Evie has learned Cooper's trick. He always does it to scare Evie or to get her attention, and he has been getting in trouble for it. Apparently, she really liked it because she knows how to do it now. We are by ourselves again this week, for about four or five weeks straight now, but we will survive, I hope. Cooper's class got to move tables last week, and he was really excited about it. He has some new girls to sit by, and he is still enjoying school so much. He told me that he has a boy in his class that tells jokes that are not funny. I asked what he meant, and he said that the boy tells jokes and then he starts laughing really hard. I asked what he did when the boy started laughing, and he told me that he did not laugh because they were not funny jokes. Cooper apparently is just like his Dad and only thinks his own jokes are funny. Anyway, our trips to Wal-Mart and around town these days take longer than usual due to the fact that Cooper is Mr. Socialite. He knows or wants to know everybody. He recognizes and remembers everybody. He will talk people's ears off, and tell them things that they don't want to hear. Anyway, I hope everybody has a good week. I have all of my pics loaded on to my computer, so I will try to post more soon.
