Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday to our little Evelyn! Her birthday was Saturday. I can hardly believe it's been 2 years since she came into the world, and she had quite an entrance. We're all glad Ryan wasn't at Scout camp this year.  She's as busy and happy as any 2 year old can be. She loves singing, dancing, sliding, swinging, coloring and wearing socks on her hands as"goves".  She loves to "watch Poppins" or "Um diddle ey", (Mary Poppins) and "Monkey George" (Curious George) any chance she gets. She knows almost all the letters, colors, shapes and loves trying to count things. She sings "rock a baby in the tree trop" to her dolls, and "Jesus want Evelyn a sunbeam." She says says "eeew" whenever she hears "The Itsty Bitsy Spider" or sees anything on the floor that looks like it could be a bug. She loves to help Mommy mix anything I'll let her help with while cooking. She loves to give kisses to baby brother in my tummy and says "wake up baby" in the morning. She is our little sunshine and we are so blessed to call her ours.

We braved the heat and spent the morning at the zoo. Since January she's been saying, "Daddy come zoo", so we finally were able to make it as a family.

Someone had just stopped smiling, but here we all are!

Her favorite animals were by far the giraffes.

 Merry Go Round! It's kind of tricky to get a good picture on one of these

Ryan is such a fabulous Dad. I just love him.
