Daddy's b-day

Daddy and his girls. We thought instead of putting 28 candles on his cake we made the 28 with candles, which was acutally 25 candles. Seriously....it was like a small fire which melted wax all over the cake.
Eva didn't seem to mind...loved the cake or should I say frosting.
Eva and Ella riding the pony at Texas Roadhouse. You had to hang onto this one, it was fun at first but they quickly got whiplash.
Ella snapped a picture of daddy and mommy.
The girls giving daddy kisses on the cheek. He thought it would be a great picture every year on his birthday if both girls could kiss him on the cheek. Well it will have to be next year, too hard for Eva to understand.

The instructor made the mommy show us how brave they were...this mommy did NOT volunteer. This is the big snake.
This is the little snake.
Ella holding the Alligator. He is 2 years old and used to people so as Ella would say, he's nice. The guy had been asking for volunteers the entire show and Ella had just turned around and said I want to hold him and he asked her, she quickly replied NO....I pushed up there and said he was nice and that the guy would help her hold it. He helped her and she was kind of comfortable, what a brave little girl.
Look it how proud her little sister is!
Ella is posin by her big tower...she's so proud! Of course, daddy had to help her.....it's way taller than her.
Eva listening to her heartbeat....She might follow her mommy's footsteps. ;o)

We had a wonderful week which started out with daddy's birthday on Tues. the 7th. We took him out to Texas Roadhouse and then gave him the game "cornhole" (or as Hope calls it, the game with beanbags and boards). We also got him some gym shorts that he really liked. I was so proud of Ella to keep the gifts a secret, it almost came out once but I quickly derailed her. Now to go backwards, on Monday we went to the first day of the summer library reading program, it was about reptiles. There they had live reptiles, we saw (as Ella would say) 2 snakes- 1 big 1-small, 1-alligator,who was nice, and she held or helped hold him. 1- hairy spider (Tarantula), and 1-lizard. Ella and Eva sat very attentively and really enjoyed themselves....what a great start to the summer program. Wednesday Eva had her 18 month appt. She is growing like a week and weighs 26 pounds 4oz and is 22 1/2 in. long (75th percentile)She only had 1 shot and did well with it. We had visitors on Wednesday, my friend Andrea who has 3 kids. She moved an hour away so we don't get to see her that often. She has 3 kids so together we have a 1yr, 2yr, 3yr, 4yr, and 7yr. Pretty busy! We had fun though! Friday I worked at all 3 clients houses so a total of 17 hours. I was tired on Saturday and just relaxed and took a nap with the girls. It sucks to work those long hours but its usually only once a week. I can handle it! Sunday Evan and I went out to a movie- The Hangover 2. It was very good and the girls had fun with their new babysitter Alexa, who is 16 and very mature. We weren't gone long but it was very enjoyable. I hope the warm weather has found ND and that the sun shines all week.
