1 Year Checkup

Eva had her one year checkup on Friday. She weighs 18 pounds 3 ounces, 7th percentile. She is 29 1/4 inches tall, 49th percentile. So, she's not very big, but the doctor wasn't worried. He said they worry if they are below the 5th percentile. She eats good and burns it all off walking all around the house.
Eva was very good with the doctor. I think he enjoyed that she didn't cry and was happy and talkative with him. Of course, she did cry at the end when the nurse came to give her the MMR and Chicken Pox shots. Daddy scooped her right up and took care of the tears!!

Happy Halloween from Eva

Once she found her costume, she didn't want to let it go!We went to the Pocatello Zoo.

Eva got some pictures done at Sears last night.

Happy Halloween!!

Here is my Halloween costume. I made my desk at work into the "John Deere Bakery" and had a John Deere tractor cake and green and yellow press cookies. Everyone said they were delicious. Thanks to McKenzie for helping me bake and decorate, and for letting me borrow your hat!!We will post some pictures of Eva in her costume later.

Quilting

These pictures are from last weekend, but I couldn't post them until now because the quilt was a surprise for my Grandma Knoeppel's 85th birthday. She had a big party yesterday in Kansas. Now that she has the quilt, I can post the pictures. This was my sister Marcy's idea and she put a lot of work into it. It turned out great. Eva and I went to Marcy's house last weekend to help her quilt around the hearts and pictures.

Eva was very helpful!!

Eva and Paisley. This picture is from Friday night when we carved pumpkins. I guess I should have taken a picture of the pumpkins after we carved them!! Oh well.

Eva walked!!!

This is Eva right after she took her first steps on Sunday night!! She is 11 months old and growing up too fast!! She has started to actually say words. She loves to play with my cell phone and hold it up to her ear and say "Hi."Yesterday my sister McKenzie played powderpuff football for ISU's homecoming week. Her team barely lost, but she looked like she had a fun time.Last Saturday we went to Frightmares at Lagoon. It was tons of fun. We tried hard to stay warm! Eva got to ride the carousel; that was totally worth paying $20 bucks for her to be there. Ha Ha!! Seriously, we did have a lot of fun. Kierra, what happened to your dad? Looks like Jeff has been working too hard to make weight!!
