Our sweet girl is walking, look at her go!

It’s hard to believe but our baby girl recently celebrated her first birthday! On the morning of her birthday, in line with our family tradition, we had the downstairs filled with balloons, and we greeted Evey with a family happy birthday ballad. It was cute seeing her crawl through the balloons and Ethan was enjoying them as much as she was (if not more), as he really likes ballooons.

We had a little celebration for her as a family on the day of her birthday, June 8th. Bridget made Evey a Hello Kitty cake and we opened up some of her presents. Evey definitely enjoyed her first chocolate cake experience. At the end of the birthday week, we had some family and friends over and had a little party for her. (Pictures below)

Evelyn is growing up quick! She can now stand up briefly on her own and she is starting to take some steps. She has mastered pulling herself up and is very mobile. She is vocal and definitely lets you know when she wants something. She’s putting together some small words and phrases in her cute Evey voice, “Peek a boo”, “Thank You”, “Please”,.. Much to our surprise, she crawled up a set of stairs on the lower level of our house. She heard Mommy and Ethan upstairs and wanted to be part of the action

We recently had a family photo shoot and now have some updated pictures to share. Thank you Amanda Elpers for your great work and amazing images! Be sure to check out her site if you are looking for a photographer.

We all made it out for Halloween (Ethan’s third and Evelyn’s first, surpassed last year’s total of 2 houses!). Ethan had a dragon costume that he didn’t wear, so we ended up carrying it the whole evening and Evelyn was a bear, cute as ever. Be sure to check out the full album of pictures from the evening below.

We went out with Mike, Kari, and Eli Kuebler, good friends that live in our neighbor. Ethan was introduced to the “world of candy.” Though he was reluctant at first, once he took a bite of the first M & M, there was no turning back as went house to house,… “more candy”

Evelyn’s baby dedication was last week, and for family and friends that couldn’t make it, we wanted to share it with you.

We got some updated family pics taken last month by our photographer, Brandy Cunningham. As always, she does amazing work, we highly recommend her. Ethan just turned 2 and Evelyn is about 6 weeks old in these pictures. She has already gotten bigger since these pics. More Hurry Happenings and updates coming soon. Enjoy!
