My Favorite Time of the Day

I love the mornings. Not early in the mornings, but more like 9:30 or 10am. It's when Eden wakes up. I always wake up before her so I have a little time for myself. Most days I just wait and wait for her to wake up becuase she is just so sweet in the mornings. She always gives the best hugs and kisses first thing in the morning.

Today Craig didn't have to work so we got to sleep in a little bit. We had been waiting for Eden to wake up and decided to go check on her. When we went in she was just sleeping so peacefully that we had to get a picture. When Craig went back in to take a picture, the flash woke her up and she was oh so happy to see Daddy getting her up in the morning! He is usually long gone to work by the time she wakes up.

Here she is, sleeping on her belly with her butt in the air... pretty normal. She woke up as soon as he snapped this picture.


All smiles!


Then she starts to stretch


And she chills for a second or two


Then gets all excited and stands up as fast as she can!



I LOVE this toothy smile!


I just love her. That's all.

Boo!

We've had such a fun week! Rebecca and Jared are in town for the week and we've been doing all sorts of fun, new things. First, Craig's grandma taught us how to make her homemade bread. I wish I would have had my camera with me! Here is the finished product. It was the tastiest bread ever. I think I ate the entire loaf in 3 days. It makes the best toast!



Then, on Wednesday we took the kids to the library for Story Time. Again, I wish I would have grabbed my camera because Eden had the best time. She was by far the youngest one there but she still sat on the floor with all of the kids and listened to the stories. She would even clap when they would sing songs and do little motions. It was too cute. I definitely need to start taking her to more story times in the future!

Today we headed out to Schnepf Farms with Nana and Papa. It was a blast! All the bigger kids loved it and wore themselves out! Eden just slept through some of it, but she always has such a good time just watching the bigger kids.















Tonight we went to my parents house and had a spooky dinner. Here are a few things from the menu.

Breadstick Bones

Deviled Egg Eyeballs

And last but definitely not least, here is my Litte Witch. A good witch, of course!

Birthday Girl

Well, today is my little sister's 20th birthday and I am just missing her so much. I know she is having so much fun in Utah with her new hubby, but I can't help but wish she was still here! I miss meeting up for lunch, I miss just talking, I miss everything! Happy Birthday Brooke. We miss you so much!

Here is Brookie Pie then...


And here is Brookie Pie now...


Happy 20th Birthday Girl!

7 months of bath time!

Since day 1, Eden has always loved getting a bath. One of the first things we did when we came home from the hospital was put her little head under the faucet and wash her hair. It seemed to just instantly relax her. Ever since then, bath time has been one of her most favorite times. It's also one of the most fun times to take pictures of her because she is always SO happy while splashing around.

Edens first bath, about 30 minutes old. February.

October - in the big girl bathtub! You can also see her new tooth!

Our Park

It is finally cool enough to take Eden out on walks during the day. It still gets pretty warm and sometimes uncomfortable if there isn't a breeze, but at least we aren't smelling our skin as it rapidly burns off of us.

Since the weather has been getting nice, Eden and I decided to venture out of the house and do a little exploring of our new neighborhood. When we walk 2 houses down we come to this greenbelt...


At the end of the greenbelt, is the park (behind the ramadas)...


Eden loves swinging in the swings!





After the swings, we took a long walk and Eden was so worn out!


So worn out that she fell asleep right as we were getting back home...
