Valentine's party

Last Friday Evs had her preschool valentines party, and wow was it a busy day. I picked her up from preschool, came home, had a quick nap, woke up our girl, and headed back to preschool for the celebration. It was so special to have daddy join us, and to watch Everlee interact with her classmates, and enjoy the special day! I love being able, for not only myself to attend these parties, but for daddy to attend as well. Means a lot to us girls, that he takes time out of his busy work schedule, to support his daughter, and her activities.  

Prepping Valentine's Day cards for her classmates.

Party time!!!

Then after her party, we celebrated Brigett's birthday at fuzzy tacos, and then dessert at Hollies! What a yummy evening! Thank you Gramma K for the delicious eats, and treats. 

Latte time

Evs insisted on having a latte(aka whip cream) for her special treat the other day, and I was happy to oblige :-P

And this face is exactly why!

Peace out

Evs and I both rocking some headwear. One of us kept ours on wayyy longer than the other did;)

My Valentines

There are some days I don't think my heart can handle how cute these two are together. I love them, and their tender, fun, sweet relationship! Everlee is so very fortunate to have a daddy that spends such quality time with her, a man who adores her, protects her, makes her feel safe, and a man who shows her what love is all about. 

Seriously, how sweet are they?!?!?

1st trip to the Dentist

We have been talking for months about going to the dentist, and how important it is to brush your teeth twice a day. Everlee was very excited, and did such a great job at her appointment, that daddy rewarded her with some special presents!!

Bit apprehensive, but powered thru like a champ!

Reward from the dentist- a token for a bouncy ball after her cleaning.

Evs happy dance, think she loves her gifts!!  Her twice a day brushing is paying off. Very clean, healthy teeth and gums. Thank goodness, mom (and Brenda) are  a bit obsessed with dental hygiene!

Wiggle worm to Jitterbug

Everlee officially is on her own at gymnastics now, and no parents on the mat! Being the youngest, and smallest, she did a great job, except when it came to building towers with foam blocks, while waiting your turn to swing on the rope. The newbie in class, couldn't resist knocking down towers that were not hers, and stealing blocks that were not hers, and throwing them back into the foam pit. Evs and mommy chatted after class about how that would make you feel if others were doing that to you, and how frustrated and sad that would make you. It sounds like this past week Miss Michelle's coaching, and chatting about life lessons, paid off.... For now;) Thank you Grandma Coco and Poppa for taking Everlee this past Monday!

Actually sitting and waiting for her turn

Walking down the side of the long trampoline, like she supposed to, as opposed to running down the center on the way back like a wild woman;)

Off the ground beam by herself 

And even higher

Being second isn't quite as fun, but we have to listen to Miss Michelle, not budge, and let others have a turn.

Water park

Trying to spend as much one on one time with Everlee these next few months, daddy had the idea we should take her for a weekend getaway to the water park. It was kids activity weekend, and boy was it , busy, loud, and packed! We had so much fun watching Everlee swim, eating in restaurants, spending a small fortune on games to get a dumb dumb sucker, doing crafts, laughing and creating memories. What a weekend, and relishing in our family of three time. 

Quick nap on The way there. Can't let go of her magic clip princesses!
