4 years ago today...

Eric and I were welcoming our precious baby girl, Eve, into the world.  Our lives would never be the same after that day.  This 8lb 4oz bundle came packing a punch :)  She had so much personality, even as an infant.

After consuming her 1st bday cake, we sent her to the sink at Mimi and Poppa's house. 

Second Birthday  

A 3rd Birthday accomplishment!! 

My Eve-a-roo.  4 years old. 

Some of my favorite 4-year-old "Eve-isms":

*"Oh, goody goody goody!"

*"Think you can handle it?"

*"Sure thing!"

*"These are the best ______ I never had!"  

*"Actually...."  She uses this word often and accurately :)

*"That's cool!"

*"This is RIDICULOUS!"  One of her favorite words for a long time, now!

Some things Eve has said recently in conversation:
*"I used to be your Sue-za-roo when I was three, but now I'm FOUR!"  

*"Mom's head is short.  Daddy's head is bigger than mom's shorty head!" (Dad appreciates that, Eve!)
*"I NEVER like a wedgie!"  Directed at Yaya, who loves to give Eve wedgies!
*Eric and Eve were talking about heaven and how great it would be to go there.  Eve realizes what they are talking about and says, "You can't DIE me!!  I just want Jesus to see me where I live and not die.  I like to stay living here."
*"I have two buddies named Coleman and Daddy!"  :)

Suebiddy.... you make me laugh.  You have been a precious addition to our family.  You are an awesome sister, and you love your sisters and brother more than I could have hoped for.  You are smart.  You have a massive vocabulary that consists of a lot of 3 and 4 syllable words that you have made up yourself.  You LOVE horses.  You have just mastered the forward roll, and are so excited about having a Gymnastics Birthday Party on Saturday.  You are head-to-toe girly...from bows and braids to necklaces, earrings, and fingernail polish.  You prefer to only wear "spinny skirts or dresses" and hate to wear jeans or shorts.  You have a beautiful heart...Mommy and Daddy love to see you make the right choice.  Just last night at Chuck-E-Cheese, you wanted to give some of your tokens to a little girl that didn't have any.  Sharing like Jesus.  You love your family, and you love doing things "as a family".  You have told mommy and daddy that when we get a new house one day, you want a Dalmatian.  You are a big, happy, fun-loving girl.  You have never met a stranger.  I pray you allow Jesus to use that huge personality He gave you.  You were put on this Earth for a SPECIFIC reason.  You are a world-changer.  I am so blessed to be your mama.
