We want softs hearts.

We had an FHE lesson on humility. I used the idea of soft hearts vs hard hearts to teach the concept. This is what Eva drew during Sacrament Meeting the following Sunday.

SLA Ballet recital

As part of our homeschool co-op, the girls could join a little ballet class...they all did. At the end of the semester, they had a recital!

Such Loverly Ladies!

Second Tooth!

After a super soccer game and during the saturday morning session of General Conference, Eva started fiddling with her loose tooth! This can't be happening!

Here is the note she wrote to the Tooth Fairy. She lost her first tooth between the cracks of the deck in the back yard. She wrote this note to tell the Tooth Fairy what happened in hopes that she could still get paid!

X-rays at the dentist.

This was fun to see...those big teeth are certainly in their way up! 

Soccer Girl

This is the second season with this wonderful coach at the local YMCA. I think Eva is getting the hang of things! She was awesome and so determined. I could see in her face that she was pushing herself....and she was rewarded for her work and scored TWO GOALS!!

Her coach makes a huge deal out of every goal and has a special little celebratory routine (double high fives and a shoulder bump) that he does with the girl when they score, I love it!

Self Tooth Extraction

This tooth is getting snaggle. 

She pulled it out herself!

Birthday Daddy-Daughter Date!

The Chick-fil-A around the corner has fancy events once in a while. Of course, we had to do this one as it was right by her birthday! You have to call and make reservations and everything. It's super cute!

Lee was super impressed how fast I whipped up a pirates patch out of his old leather coat. He said he was the only dad there who dressed up and all the servers thought he was the coolest dad ever! We have visited that location since and seen that this pic has made the wall of fame!

Eva is 6!

Happy Day Birthday Girl!

Loose tooth!

I just discovered that this lady has a loose tooth! 

This is not allowed. I tickled her to death and made her promise to stop growing up immediately. 

Matching Cousins

Spent the Fourth of July weekend at the Ragsdales and these two got matchy! It was so cute to watch Bella mimick Evelyn all day long! 

Tandem with Aunt Shelly

We spent the day visiting Ragsdales in Temple, TX. Uncle Steven got out the tandem bike and everyone got a ride!

Even with her long legs and the seat as low as it could go, Eva couldn't reach the peddles at the low point, but that didnt stop her!

Go Team Frozen!

Game Day Pancakes

I gotta say, I really like Eva's soccer coach. His name is Kris Kidd and he is everything you would want for an all girls U5 soccer team. Always cheerful, cracking jokes, laughing instead of getting frustrated with little girls in la-la land, makes a big deal of all their improvements, and he's actually really good at working with the girls in the sport. He runs good drills and is really teaching them. 

He's super thoughtful too. He texted the team moms on Mother's Day to wish them a happy day. He's also all about girls. He noticed when Eva came to the first game with "Elsa Hair" and appluaded her team spirit. And for these team pics, he reminded the girls to come with fancy hair and everything! Then he was handing out passes for a free movie preview at the game on Saturday! (He works for ComicCom or something and got the passes through work...super nice!) He cracks me up and makes it fun for the girls and their families. 

Ballet Recital

This is Eva's third (and possibly last) ballet session with her beloved Miss Nancy.

The Flower Dance

Some Twirls!

      

I'm a Little TeaPot

 

Lunch with play dough

Eva made me a hot dog for lunch with all the fancy fixin's: katchup, mustard, onions, and pickles.

At Grandma's and Grandpa's House

We rode Bikes and Grandpa's motorcycles everyday! The orange motorcycle was the fastest, and I rode it! Will got scared and screamed because it was going too fast. But I was happy!

Will shot high ans we all shouted "Woohoo!" for him. 

The End.

Love Eva.

Music Recital Time!

Aunt Jessica is teaching us Piano and Violin!

 

Eva makes every picture a "silly face" picture.

 Everyone's Silly Faces!

Gentle Shepherd

"Shepherd count your sheep,

as they fall asleep.

Gentle shepherd,

singing songs so sweet."

You're a Dog

Tangled. Seriously.

Eva just had the first haircut of her life. Her ends were just getting angry at the brush a little too often. Here is her lovely mane before. 

 Getting ready!

It was so long she could tuck it into her panties!

 I only cut off about and inch...maybe and inch and half if you count those single longest hairs. Honestly you can't even tell. Except her hair ends are just happier.
