Evelyn's 4th Birthday

Happy Birthday to Evelyn! She's officially 4 today but you can't convince her that she didn't already turn 4 last Saturday. :) As I said before, we celebrated by having some pizza and games at Chuck E. Cheese.

Before we get to Chuck E. Cheese though, I gotta show everyone what Evelyn spent her birthday money from Western Grandma on:



Can you say "ultimate princess package"?! The thing comes with 5 outfits, a horse, a carriage, and a prince charming (which Jacob has claimed for his own)! As a bonus, the actual package is a zipper case to put all the toys in and carry around. Here's Evelyn with her new toys all set up and ready for play. :) THANK YOU GRANDMA IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!!!!


Here she is opening her gifts at Chuck E. Cheese. She received a Little Mermaid princess package from Grammom and Papa. Fun!


Gee, look! It's one of the princess's that I had hidden under my bed.....little turkey!


Onto the rides and the games! Ryan and Marcus riding the large rocking horse.



Kyle was hooked on this racing game. All you gotta do is look at his laughing face to see how much he was enjoying himself!


Marcus being brave (and having fun) on this ride--it's a seat that goes up and around a few times. Sometimes it's scary the first time around cause kids aren't used to being up so high off the ground. But he was all smiles while being the same height as daddy.


Ok, this is just precious! Here Evelyn is all dressed up as a princess and showing a very patient, amused Uncle Rob all of her pretty gifts. He just sat there the entire time smiling and oohing and ahhing over her new toys.



Our future basketball player (one of them at least--I didn't manage to get Jacob to hold still long enough to get a really good pic of him).


Scratch that--here he is with Chuck E himself!

The Look

Ryan said he could only laugh as he read the previous post about Evelyn. He asked me if I could find a picture that has her impy look. Well, I don't have an pictures of "the look" on her face...but I have a video! Check out the look she gives behind her before she bowls....



Grr...nevermind, moving the footage from my camera to youtube totally cut down the clarity. Anyway, I think all close family members will know the gist of what her face looked like. :)
