Spring, spring , spring!

One of my favorite movies of all time is "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and the month of March very much reminded me of the song about "Spring." The tulips came up right before St. Patty's Day, the bi-color iris plant was in bloom, and I got back into the wonderful world of gardening. I was able to plant a some veggies, well, more like 3 ,but I'll take what I can get.
Except for the mosquitoes that always seem to find her, Evelyn loves going outside for a few minutes with me every morning to water our little patch of sprouts. Her lingering cough from RSV kept us from going to Lehi Days:( She finally seems to be kicking it and I'm glad to that was our only missed activity. After having a pic-nick with my sister and her kids and venturing through the park in Fountain Hills on St. Patrick's Day, Evelyn had her 9 month shots. I liked the band-aids. She did very well and only cried for a few seconds this time.
We also enjoyed a birthday party for some Stewart cousins in the beautiful spring weather. Loved the tu-tu's from my sis-in-law Kristi for the "Despicable Me" themed party! Tu-cute!



After months of preparation Ryan was finally able to experience the Mountain Man Rendezvous the weekend of Spring Break. Here he is sporting his nearly done Capote, not to be confused with a bath robe. He had help cutting it out from his wonderful mom, but pieced, pinned and sewed it on his own. Nice! He had a great time there.

Hope to post again before the end of April...

I'll Always Be Irish!

Anyone remember this fabulous movie? Classic...

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all those of you of Irish descent!

Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss!

a sweet little Valentine miracle

Valentine's Day was a long one. Evelyn had a new cough the Thursday before. I waited until Monday morning to call the doctor's office and didn't get an appointment until the next day. But when Evelyn's breathing sounded like blowing through a straw I called back and the Nurse was insistant that we come ASAP. She was diagnosed with RSV and Bronchiolitis and had to have breathing treatments 3 times daily for a week. The doctor said she was really close to having Pneumonia and it may have turned into it if we had waited one more night. We are so thankful to our Father in Heaven that she didn't get it and are so glad to report that she is almost back to 100% now.
The day was made a little sweeter though.
Not only did Ryan get me dove chocolate, but this beautiful heart shaped bouquet. He hadn't done flowers for a while, but I always love the chocolate. Too much actually... I Love him!
Here is our bath-time beauty feeling much better later that evening.


And here is the elusive 1st tooth that also broke through on the 14th. It was quite a day for her.

1st ponytail

I took these the day she turned 7 months. I don't love the morning tangles, but I do love that her hair is long enough! I have to say it, she is gorgeous!

SNOW!

As most everyone knows by now on Dec. 30, 2010 in Mesa, at our house, we had snow flurries. It was kind of strange, but really awesome! Here's a short video I took. I just happened to walk out at the right moment. This was at around 2 pm. We had about a week of below freezing lows this winter. Crazy!
