Happy 4th Birthday

Four years ago today we became a family. December 28, 2007 just before midnight our little girl joined us...5lbs 11oz and 18 in. Today she is 4 (going on 14)...25lbs and 39in.

Happy Birthday Evelyn Jade Perkins!

We are spending the day doing Evelyn's favorite things: breakfast cupcakes, dress-up, quesadillas, airplane watching, Tinkerbell and Scooby Doo movies, and Chic-fil-a.

Frosting Only

This month baby Becket (Jonas' brother) celebrates is 1 year birthday. So we attended and enjoyed some yummy cupcakes. Evelyn loved them, but only ate the frosting. She even licked out the center of the cupcake that was filled with the frosting...but no cake was eaten.

India Princess

Evelyn was an India Princess this year for Halloween. The costume came from a trip that Poppy and Gigi took to India. Instead of trick-or-treating in our neighborhood this year, we went to the Candy Crawl in Concord to volunteer at our church's booth.

Happy Halloween!

Spa Vacation

A couple weeks ago, I experienced my first Spa. My mom and sister took me on a spa vacation. It was amazing. We drove to Bryson City and stayed at Lakeview at Fontana. This little place was awesome. We had a 2 bedroom, one bath cottage and enjoyed spa treatments at the resort.

Our first morning and Stacey insisted we have mimosas for breakfast!

Our view while drinking mimosas.

We cooked in most meals. Stacey prepared her famous Coconut Shrimp.

Part of our stay included a s'more kit.

We had so much fun making s'mores two nights.

The beautiful resort check-in.

Our Last morning. We enjoyed free breakfast and wine/cheese in the evenings.

Not ready to go home but completely relaxed after our spa vacation.

Thanks mom and Stacey for a wonderful trip. Can't wait until next year. Thanks to my hubby whom let me go with my family. And thank you Sandra and Clay for watching my little girl. I love all of you!

Playing the Piano

This week, Evelyn went to Elizabeth City with Poppy and Gigi. It looks like she learned to play the piano while there.

Dinner with a Fairy

We Love Target

On Friday, Evelyn and I went to Target. We hit the jackpot. We found a toddler bedding set for $7.50 and the matching wall decals for $3.50. So, for $11 Evelyn got an updated room.

Southpark Fun

A couple weeks ago, Evelyn and I took a trip to Southpark Mall to visit Lori. We had lunch and of course Starbucks together. Lori went back to work and we explored the mall. Evelyn's favorite thing...the water fountain.
