Decorating The Christmas Tree

We had fun decorating the tree in our new house this year with our sweet little girl. I guess Evelyn was more interested in chewing on a bow but she still helped.

Superstition Farm

Saturday we took Evelyn to Superstition Farm for Moo Moo Palooza 2008. We walked around and looked at the cows and other animals, ate lunch, and had some great home made ice cream. Even though Evelyn had no idea what was going on she had fun and did great. Evelyn loves being outside in her snuggly carrier. She loves being able to look around and taking walks with daddy. Her favorite thing to look at are trees. I'm sure Evelyn's going to love all this "farm stuff" just like her mommy.

Pool Party

This past weekend we had our Home Group over for a BBQ and Pool party. It was the first time we had everyone together with alll the kids. We had a blast playing in the pool and cooking up some hot dogs.

Swimming

After the zoo we tried swimming for the first time.

Evelyn didn't like being in the water too much and instead took a nap in mommy's arms. We will try again when she's a little bigger.

The Zoo

Since we came home a little early from camping we went to the Phoenix Zoo with Gabe, Melissa and their family on Monday morning. Evelyn slept in her stroller the majority of the time but Josh and I enjoyed walking around and seeing all the animals. We even got a picture of Evelyn and daddy in front of the giraffe! We can't wait until Evelyn is a little older and can enjoy a trip to the zoo too!

Ready to go!

Camping

What a fun and busy weekend! This is the 4th year we have joined our friends Gabe and Melissa camping with their family in Payson. We always have such a fun time and this year we got to bring our little Evelyn for her first camping experience. We went up Thursday afternoon and came home a little early on Sunday afternoon due to the rain. We were both a little worried ahead of time that she would be too fussy or uncomfortable but it ended up being a great trip. She actually slept better than she did at home. We bundled her up when it was chilly at night and she spent a lot of time being held and riding in the carrier. Everyone played Boggle, horseshoes and Frisbee golf and did a lot of relaxing.

Evelyn's First Bath

We gave Evelyn her first "bath" when she was 5 days old. I guess you would technically call it a sponge bath because there wasn't much water involved but still fun. She looked so cute wrapped up in her towel and you can see in the pictures that when her hair is wet it looks curley.
