Daddy Thinks We Should Butter These Rolls

At 11 weeks The Boy weighed in at 16 lbs. 95% percent for height & weight. A big boy.

Sorry!

Last night at a late hour I was trying to do some reading and my sweet Reese is flipping the light on.off.on.off and so I finally said just turn it off and come snuggle. As she is climbing into my bed I told Reese "you drive me crazy" and she simply says, "Sorry!". That made me smile. I asked her did you say "sorry" and she giggles "yes".

The Boy!

I love my Husbands Family!

Eric's parents sent in their papers to get their mission call a little over a month ago and so this is the week! We are all so excited to hear. BUT on April Fool's Eric's Dad played a joke on the family saying that their call had come and had us all going. My sweet Eric decided to get his parents back. He got all siblings on board to send the parentals a fake mission call. Heidi put together a very authentic envelope and Eric made up a picture of all the kids. All weekend we've all had the giggles about Neil and Lana opening their mission call, I have to admit I was worried that they wouldn't think it was funny, but I just kept saying you know your parents better than me. Yesterday we caught word that their real mission call was suppose to arrive today along with the fake call. Jodi arranged for some of her students to steal the real one out of their mailbox. Right when these kids were reaching in the mailbox Lana drove around the corner and sees people in her mailbox and started honking at them and so they took off out of there. Too funny. So the awaited mission call came and Grandpa and Grandma were so excited and opened it without all the kids to find a bunch of blank papers and this stupid picture of their kids. They laughed, luckily! oh we have gotten so many laughs out of all this and now we just can't wait to hear where they are really going!

Baby Tan

Reese can't pronounce her "C's", they come out as "T's" and so we have a Baby Tan at our house. It is never just Canon it is always Baby Canon....Baby Tan. Each morning when she wakes up she asks where Baby Tan is? Now Baby Tan doesn't ever wonder where Reese is, he cringes when he hears or sees her, he cries when Reese holds him; but I don't blame him because Reese gives Baby Tan a work over everytime. Reese loves her Baby Tan, she is just helpful.

Easter

What a nice day. I wish that everyday I could think of Christ as I have today; refreshing. We have had an especially busy week and its nice to have it over.

My sweet girls on Easter morning, I love how bright their outfits are! Waklee sang a solo today in Sacrament Meeting, "Jesus Once Was A Little Child". She's been practicing for months and right before the meeting started I told her she needed to take a deep breath right before she started to sing because she would be nervous and have a shortness of breath. She looks at me and says, "why will I be nervous?"


Our Easter grass sprouted just in time, thanks for the wheat He-ma.







And the Easter bunny found us, he brought books, imagine that more books, can never have enough books.

And some lovely notes:

Reese: Bippity Bop, Hippity Hop,
Go Plop Plop!

Waklee: Hip Hop, Til You Drop

The E-Stir Bunny



Oh that bunny just thinks he is so funny.

Eric took the girls over to say Hi to the Easter Bunny and I guess Reese tripped and fell right next to him and thought the Easter Bunny has pushed her down, I might be scared too and geesh look how freaky that bunny looks. It was cold out there so no pictures of Canon.

And there was a clown at the Easter egg hunt and I guess the clown didn't trip Reese because she isn't crying in this picture.


The boy is getting fat this is from last Sunday, the day the sun was shining in Portland.

And Reese got her hair cut this week. I was sick of combing her fine hair and I just love that cute little face with shorter hair.

A Wonderful Day

Canon Eavenson was blessed on March 29, 2009 in Portland, Oregon in the Hartley Park Ward; Gresham Oregon Stake by his Daddy. We had a most wonderful day with special friends and great family that came to support us. Days like that make me want to live in Idaho near family to enjoy more special days just like that one with all of our family. We had a luncheon at Eric's sweet cousin Angelica's home.

What a hectic morning we had! Getting all the kids showered and Sunday ready can be a chore. Eric said he was very nervous blessing his boy and after the blessing I looked down and noticed my skirt was wrong side out, it gave me the giggles. It was actually a sunny day in Portland but chilly.

We've Accessorized!

Waklee has a new accessory........... glasses, compliments of both of her blind parents. She loves wearing them and since Daddy teases incessantly I don't think any kid at school can come even close to teasing too much. There is a boy at school who has a crush on Wakes and I told her that since she has glasses maybe she will see him and think, "hubba hubba" she didn't think that was funny. But what a cutie she is in her glasses. I can't believe how much she looks like her Dad or her cute Aunts.


I took this picutre of Reese holding baby and got a kick out of how dark Canon is compared to Reese. He still must have a tinch of jaundice but he does have beautiful olive skin and Reese is so fair.


And we had to take a picture of Canon with a headache. I think he has been missing his Daddy who has been busy studying since he was born. We love you Daddy and can't wait for boards and finals to be OVER!

A Year Later......we still have a pistol.

I can't help but reflect on where we were a year ago and then here we are today. It was a year ago today that we were in the emergency room hearing terrifying news of our Reesie girl. So many lessons I learned and I can't quite explain how it effected my life. In the past year not many days have gone by without thinking of "what could have happened" and being so thankful to be able to have Reese in our home. Once again I can't really explain but so many nights I have cried myself to sleep thinking of those long weeks. On the flipside Reese drives me "crazy" and having those "what" thoughts make me appreciate all of her "crazy" energy. She is so fun and outgoing and doesn't listen to a word I say, but it is for all of these reasons I love her and admire her. We have been so fortunate this past year with Reese only having a few sniffles here and there and no major sicknesses. We have been truly blessed.
