Evie turns 5!

By
Happy birthday, Evie mcEversons!! I know your birthday was last Thursday, but I'm going to pretend it was today because you had your 5 year doc checkup today. :)

You are an amazing little girl and I'm so proud to be able to say I'm your mama. At 5, you are as chatty as ever, whether its narrating little scenes when you play with your dolls or starting conversations the minute you wake up. I get a kick out of the way you hula and shake your hips when you dance, especially to your favorite song Taylor Swift's Shake It Off.

You are a kind and very involved big sister. You like to give Nora kisses, you (mostly) don't mind share all your snacks and toys with her and are always watching out for her. On Sunday, you didn't want to go on a playdate without Nora because you were worried she would miss you!

You still scare easily - you made us turn off Ratatouille because it was scary. It was slightly exasperating but truthfully, I'm glad you are so innocent and haven't grown up too fast. The worst you've done is become obsessed with nail polish.

You are a great eater and will put away most anything we give to you, although you haven't really been a fan of Indian food so far. You love soup noodles (YAY!) and declare your favorite dinner to be Trader Joe's frozen Orange Chicken. Even though you insist you have sugar, you can't resist popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, frozen blueberries or cupcake frosting.

At 5, you weigh 32 pounds (3 %-ile) and stand 42 inches tall (35%-ile). You might be pint sized, but you have a heart as big as a whale! Love you!

At the doc office today.

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Cousins trip: Banff!

By
Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
