Evelyn's three month pictures

We made our first trip to the portrait studio while we were home in St. Charles. Mommy was worried at first because Evelyn was a little fussy and not very cooperative. Thankfully, we had cousin Emma with us, and she was able to get Evie smiling. Feel free to check out the proofs using the link below.

Evelyn's first trip to St. Charles

While in St. Charles, we spent a day walking the Katy Trail and browsing the stores on historic Main Street. Below are some pictures from the day.

Grandma Helvey with the kiddos.

Cousin Marc - he LOVED spending time with 'Ebie'

Cousin Madeline - she, on the other hand, did not like sharing her Grandma with Evie :)

Still loving those shades!

Grandma with the girls. Unfortunately, Jodi's kiddos had a virus for much of the week, preventing us from spending as much time with them as we would have liked.

Evie hanging out with Grandpa Helvey

Evie with cousin Ian. We enjoyed going to one of his baseball games!

A Second Wedding

We recently took a week long trip to St. Charles to visit my family. While there, we hopped up to Chicago to attend the wedding of a good friend of ours. Below are pictures from the wedding of Austin and Sarah Bredow.

Evie and Daddy dancing up a storm at the table.

Ryan toasting Austin and Sarah. Unfortunately, this is one of the only pictures we were able to get of the bride and groom. It was such a beautiful and fun wedding!

Evie meeting Sue Bredow, the mother of the groom.

Evie's first stay at a hotel. Can you tell who rules the roost these days?!

Happy Fourth of July!

We went to Morehead, KY, to celebrate the Fourth with Chris, Kendra & Annamarie(Tim's brother's family) and Ben, Angela & Mia(Kendra's sister's family). We had a great time! Below are pictures of Evelyn's first Fourth of July.

Annamarie, Mia, and Evelyn

Annamarie, Kendra & Chris

Daddy took Evie into the neighbor's pool while we were there. This was her first time in a pool, so Mommy was a little nervous. She didn't smile much while she was in the water, but she didn't cry, either. She seemed content, so we're anxious to try it again soon. Mommy may have to put her back in her swimming suit soon, even if there's no pool around. She just looked so cute in those suits! :)

Annamarie loves the pool!

The pool wiped Anna out!

Evie's first birthday party!

Ben, Angela & Mia on Mia's 3rd birthday!

The birthday girl

Angela worked long and hard on this Dora cake for Mia! Didn't it turn out great?! I hope Evie doesn't get any crazy notions that I will be able to make something like this! :)

Storytime with Uncle Chris

Little Firecracker

Two months old!

It's hard to believe our baby is already two months old! As you will see in the pictures, Evelyn is continuing to change every day. She recently had her two month check up, and she weighed in at 10#8oz and 23 inches. She is smiling constantly, and brings her Mommy and Daddy an unspeakable amount of joy!

"Put the camera down and no one gets hurt!" :)

Evelyn with friend Keziah, our Pastor's daughter.

Evelyn and friend Claire loving their playmats.

Evelyn with friend Rosie.

Evelyn with Renee, a very good friend of mine from my teaching days in Concordia, MO.

Evelyn with Karen, another good friend from Concordia, MO.

Evie looking pretty serious, and bored for that matter! Turns out it's not very fun watching Mommy work in the kitchen.

Somebody loves those Cardinals!!! She probably wouldn't be smiling like this if she was wearing a Royals tee (sorry, Daddy)!

Such a big girl!
