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!

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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...
