Guys, this spunky little girl turned four earlier this month...and I can't believe we've made it this far!
Evelyn is a girl of strong likes, but really not too many dislikes. Her favorite things to do are putting together puzzles and building temples with magnatiles. She loves her Karate class, and recently received her yellow belt, but is also hoping to take dance with a couple of her friends this fall. I don't want to overload her so we will see what happens. She is always moving. Always.
Evelyn's favorite foods are strawberries, peaches, yogurt, apples, and mac n cheese (if you have never tried Annie's organic aged cheddar mac n cheese, you really need to). She also loves anything she can pick from our garden and eat while playing in the back yard. Her favorites have been peas, carrots, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes. I am lucky that she is such a good eater.
At Evelyn's well child visit we found out she was in exactly the 50th percentile for height and weight. Her pediatrician and I both thought that was such a crazy coincidence!
Evelyn asked to have her first ever 'Friends' birthday party. She asked if she could choose everything for her party. We had white tablecloths, yellow plates, pink and blue flamingo cups, swirly straws, polka-dotted napkins, and blue, pink, and purple balloons. She loved it.
The kids played with bubble blowers, the sprinkler, and the pool. They decorated their own cupcakes (which means they ate a LOT of candy and left the cupcakes).
She was so happy to have her friends come and play. This girl is one social bug!
Although her strong will makes me want to pull my hair out some days, I am so happy to have her. She has a tender heart when she sees someone hurting and asks me how to make people happy when they are picked on, sad, or lonely. She is bright and is learning to sound out words and do addition this summer (I have decided reading is hard, and spelling rules seem to be broken as often as kept). She loves animals and on more than one occasion I have been tempted to pick up a kitten for her at the shelter. What am I supposed to do when their marquee specifically states that they have kittens?!?
"Why?" is her favorite question, and I keep reminding myself that she is learning about the world. Evelyn has limitless energy and is always on the go. She and her brother run all over the house all morning and when he crashes for the afternoon she goes outside to play some more.
I am so glad she is mine.
Seriously though, I find her asleep in the craziest places mid afternoon.

Love her!
We have been so lucky for Evelyn to have so many friends in Primary here.
These two are cheesers. They are basically best friends and are so excited to go off to preschool together next month.
Every time we have had friends over they've loved the garden. The kids eat while they play.
Yay for cupcakes (and all the candy they put on top)!
So much candy!
Evelyn didn't realize that friends might bring presents. She kept saying, "is that for me?"
Super excited for a big girl bike!
