Gymnastics

 Eva has found a new passion... gymnastics.

 She really seems to enjoy all of the different areas.

 She is wearing the new outfit her big sis bought her for her birthday.

 Instead of tiring her out she seems to have more energy after going to class!

I must admit... she is pretty good at it too!

Birthday #2

Today is Eva's actual birthday.

She chose to go to the mall. So off we go to the Barton Creek Mall.

This is pre-meditation at it's finest. Every visit to the mall Eva asks to

go to Build-A-Bear. My reply is, "Not today, that is for special occasions."

Guess what? Today is a special occasion!

Eva chooses a Tabby Cat and names it Cutie.

Eva Turns Six!!!

Happy Birthday Princess Eva!!!

Eva chose to have a Rapunzel birthday party.

Since she also loves gymnastics, she had it a Rollie Pollies.

Here she is having fun in the gym!

She is wearing the beautiful new gymnastics outfit her sister bought her.

That's my monkey!

The uneven bars are one of her favorites!

Weeeee!

And back to the bars...

Issy is having fun in the pit.

Here comes Eva.

Last but not least... the zip line.

Here are the cupcakes... designed and decorated by El.

Happy Birthday to youuuu...

I wonder what that wish is?

Oh my my, that is a lot to open!

Eva says she is up to the task!

Issy bought her this Webkin's Bubblegum Dinosaur.

Eva named it Pinky!

This concludes day One of the birthday celebration.

Eva seems to have the same gene as El that somehow allows them to take a birthday and turn it into a week long event!

What would you do with $100.00?

Eva's assignment was to answer the question, "What would you do with $100?".

This was her answer.

Yep, I have another reader!

Eva the Artist

Here is a snowman family Eva made in art class in school.

And some freezing ice!

Brrrrrrr!

She also like create art on her white board in her room.

I missed getting a pictures of an amazing Christmas Tree she drew.

It had presents under it and after a few days the presents would open and she would draw the gift!

Here is a volcano.

Eva loves science!

And her mermaid in "The big blue see".

Happy Valentine's Day

Eva is at school with her Valentine's headband with heart antennae.

This is the class doing their "Web of Love".

The yarn was rolled to each students who then said what they love most and then rolled it on. By the end they had their web of love.

El's Valentines's Dance

As mentioned previously, El does not like to be photographed very often.

This was one of those occasions.

She is attending the Valentine's Dance.

After two days of shopping we bought one of the first dresses she tried on.

She found this one (the only on like it in the store) and several others. It is hard to decide when everything looks great on you (sadly I do not have that problem). We decided not to buy yet and to visit the mall next weekend because surely it will have many more options. All week I thought we should have bought it "just in case". The mall proved useless! We hurried back to Bee Cave to find the dress still there but on hold for someone else! We put a second hold on it luckily received the call later that night that it was hers.

Here she is coming down the stairs annoyed that I have camera in hand.

But isn't she lovely?

The Super Bowl!

As you can see Eva was cheering for the giants. The girls took the Giants and Todd chose that other team (that no one now remembers because they did not win)!

Eva and El disappeared for awhile and Eva came down ready to cheer on her winning team.

And cheer she did!

As well as pose for the camera!

Lily's Birthday

Eva was a little nervous about the hiding the horse at her friend Lily's birthday celebration.

However, she proved to be a natural like her sister.

One lap around the ring and she was sold!

Guess who want riding lessons?

This girl!

She also proved to be a pretty decent roper.

Texas born and Texas bred.

SAT test anyone?

This is one of the rare moments that El lets me take a photo willingly!

She is dressed and ready to go take the SAT test. Yep, it is a bit early as she is in 7th grade. There was an opportunity to take it and I felt it would be a great experience to have had before hitting high school.

Is she pulling off the intellectual look?

Field Trip

Eva's kindergarten class went on a field trip to the Blanton Museum of Art and University of Texas Museum of Natural Science. We also had a nice long walk across the campus. We stopped for a photo op in front of the famed tower.

That is Eva with the most pink!

Best Bud Ian's Birthday!

The birthday bonanza begins!

Eva's best bud from pre-school just turned 6!

Eva was excited to go to his party. He does not live close by so she did not know any of the kids at the party... but it did not slow her down.

Eva hugs the birthday boy!

She loves this playground!

She keeps going the whole time.

All in all a great day!
