On Wednesday evening, the Raffi cd was playing and Evie was dancing and singing along to the songs. When the dreidel song came on she stopped and screamed, "PLAY-DOUGH!!!" Then proceeded to sing, "Playdough playdough playdough" to the dreidel song. HILARIOUS!!! She was so proud of herself that she thought she had figured out the words to the song!
Another funny moment was yesterday when Brian, Claire and the kids called to sing me Happy Birthday. After the very cute family sing-along, Mulu said over the speaker phone that he was going to give me 34 spankings for my birthday. Evie said in response, "pancakes??? 34 pancakes??"

Summer Fun
We've had a couple of firsts for Evie this summer. We took her to her first parade: "Buffalo Bill Days" in Golden, CO. She wasn't very impressed... it was really only one group of clowns and a couple of horses that got her excited... maybe next time. :)
With our good friends Aria and her daddy, Jon.
We also took her on her first tent camping trip. Last summer she camped in a pop-up, but this time we tried the tent. She did really well! Better than I did at night- it was FREEZING! I think she ended up being warmer than I was. It was still a good time though.
Evie and Daddy on the hammock at the campsite.
Evie's at a really fun age right now. I feel like I keep saying that, but it just keeps getting better and better! her "tricks" as of late include counting to 20, saying the days of the week and months of the year, she still LOVES to sing and "reads" along with her books, she gives us play-by-plays of things that happen like, "woah, that almost fell down!" We have full on conversations now which are usually a riot, and for the past couple of weeks she been using the toilet on average of 2 or 3 times a day. Here are some other random pictures:
Still lovin' the boots! (and likes to say "cheeeeeeeese" too.)
Her adorable, "innocent", look! :)

After some spaghetti at dinner when she decided it'd be fun to rub the sauce in her hair.

Evie loves to count. She has no idea though that there really ARE 10 balls!
Another fun trip we had was a few weeks ago for Kyle's big Wild West Relay. With a team of 12 people (most from my work), he ran relay-style from Fort Collins to Steamboat Springs. 195 miles into Wyoming and over a mountain pass in about 33 hours! Evie and I drove up with some others to see the team finish the race. They were AWESOME! Kyle ran the last leg and he did SO WELL! Especially given the fact that he ran with a cracked bone in one foot and a very sore (bone-on-bone) knee on the opposite leg. Crazy! We were so proud of Daddy!!
