The Little Owl

"Oow, ow!"

That means go outside please, in Evin english.

When we got this hat for Evin's birthday I was so hoping he would actually keep it on his head. We know some babies are fine with hats and some aren't.

After convincing him that it was a cool and a fun thing to do, he finally kept it on and now actually likes it.

If you want a hat like this for your baby please check out Sheri's page. I just love her work!!!

Evin goes crazy when he thinks you're going to take him outside. Looks like we'll be spending a lot of time in the great out doors with this kid.

His First Haircut

Well this post is pretty much what the title says it is. Evin's first haircut. We had gotten to the point where more than one person told me he needed a haircut, so I caved. He has hair like me, you get it wet and it stays how it dried, but some times it would just stay fuzzy and a little scary looking.

So here it is in all it's glory. (drum roll please)

He's at the stage now where everything is a phone. He'll pick up just about any household object, hold it to his ear and say 'hi'. Mr. Fuzzy

Tada!

Oh how I love this little face.

An Evening Bridal Shower

Wheew, finally getting caught up on blogging.

Or at least starting to get caught up.

Here are a few pictures from a bridal shower we held at our house a few weeks ago.

I'm so glad my husband likes decorating and hosting parties with me!

He's creative, resourceful, visionary, hospitable and we love bouncing party ideas off each other.

Some times we bite of more than we can chew but we have fun trying.
Tim worked really hard to get the back yard all set up for the shower....because no, I don't normally have a huge umbrella and white lights hanging everywhere.
Although, now that they're there I think we'll keep 'em up.
The only time Tim had to work on the yard was at night so we put the baby to bed, got our jackets on, plugged in the spot lights and went to work.

Here's how the party turned out...

Baby was needing my attention and it was pretty dark before I could take pictures but you get the general idea.



Can you spy the shmoo-shmoo?
He was very much enjoying all the attention from the guests.

As long as we were bringing out rugs, tables and couches, might as well bring out some mirrors too.

Fondue!!!



Yes, yes Tim brought out his old record player and had some romantic type music playing the whole evening.

Opening wedding gifts.



After running around making sure everything was set up, Tim was our barista and was taking orders for caramel, vanilla or pumpkin spice lattes.

The whole evening was very fun and I'm so glad we were able to do it.
