Jordan...the Baby Whisperer

3 comments Posted by Evie B. at 7:35 PM

We had a fun visit with our favorite Canadian family (and extended) on Thursday last week. Tanya, Mateo, Goldie, Angie, Dylan (no Mari - she stayed behind with her Aunt Lisa), Amanda, Jordan, Little Lil and Yvonne all came over for lunch.

We had a fun time catching up and watching our kids play in the backyard. Angie's got all of the pics on her camera (hint, hint - I'd love copies of the kid ones!), but I was able to catch a shot of Jordan working his magic and getting Hayden to sleep in a room full of talking and playing.

It was so great to see everyone - I wish we all lived close to one another so we (and our babes) could play all the time!

You know your child is growing up if...

...she uses her pockets as they're intended to be used.

Welcome to our "Crib"

Just a slice of what I find EVERY MORNING when the girls wake up. Please note, Hayden will sleep until 10 in the morning if she's not disturbed. Tatum, however, up at 7am, will not let that happen.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

5 comments Posted by Evie B. at 8:14 PM

Just a quick shout-out to my husband of three years today! He was such a good sport playing along with my surprise date on Friday night. Happy Anniversary - I love you!!!


About a month ago I planned to have Brie come and stay overnight with the kids and I booked a room at the Anniversary Inn. I told Beau that she was going to come over and watch the kids for us while we went to dinner to celebrate our anniversary early (with it being on Easter Sunday, it was the best time to do it on Friday - crazy weekend!). Shanna has an anniversary around the same time, so once she caught wind of my idea, she wanted in. Booked her own room and Brie was set to watch all five kids.

So we went separately to dinner and met back at our house for a "surprise". We made the boys wear blindfolds and we drove them to the hotel, only allowing them to open their eyes once inside the lobby. We had to check out each other's rooms, of course!

Here they are, in all their blindfold glory (please note that Beau has on Tatum's "Hi-5" blindfold that came with her jammies for her birthday):




And here are pics of our rooms. We had the "Phantom of the Opera" suite (Beau is slightly obsessed with the soundtrack as of late, so I thought I'd reserve one in honor of him). Our jetted tub was set in the catacombs and so relaxing!!! Shanna and Travis had the "Jackson Hole" suite. Covered wagon and all. Breakfast brought to your room, sparkling cider and cheesecake waiting for you upon check in - it was great!

It was such a fun outing - I recommend to all! Plus, who could turn down a night without having to put kids to bed and the ability to sleep in?!?!?! We loved it!

Happy Easter!

Well, this mamma's sure wiped out! This has been a crazy, but fun, weekend for all. Beau and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary officially today, but we had our own adventure on Friday (see second post from today).

Yesterday we took the girls for the usual Fullmer Family Egg Hunt at Uncle Don and Aunt Nedra's backyard. All of Beau's grandfather's siblings get all of their kids/grandkids/great-grandkids together for hot dogs and egg hunts every year. We ended up missing the actual egg hunt (Emmit ran away and we spent a good 1/2 hour looking for him!), but it wasn't a problem because both girls were asleep when we pulled up. Tatum spent most of the afternoon swinging.

This morning the girls woke up and had to find their baskets hidden by the Easter Bunny last night. Bunny hid them pretty easy this year, due to the ages of our girls. Tatum's was hidden behind the curtains in mom and dad's room and Hayden's was on the bed in the guest room downstairs. They had a great time looking and opening to see what the bunny had brought them.


They wore their oh-so-cute new Easter dresses and we were off to church. Tatum actually managed to stay in nursery for about an hour (1/2 of that with me in there), so I was pleasantly surprised. But when she was done, the whole building could hear it. Oh well, you take what you can get, right? :)


At about 4 this afternoon we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer's house to have the egg hunt with the cousins, dinner, and to celebrate Grandma Tammy's birthday (yesterday). Here are a few pictures from the day.




And here is the picture of all of the grandkids that we gave to Grandma Tammy for part of her birthday present. Getting that picture taken was a nightmare, but I digress. The reward was the final result - too cute!

All-in-all we had a fantastic weekend as a family. We hope your holiday was just as fun.

Happy Easter to all!

Ant in my....Yard

Shantell and I discovered the most amazing ant infestation I've ever seen today. And it happened to be in our backyard.

We took the girls outside to swing and I went to check out this weird pile of "dirt" on the curbing behind the swingset. Take a look...

Tatum was being so cute today playing kitchen and house. I got some good footage of her serving me a meal from her kitchen this afternoon. Here you go...
