Visiting with GG, throwing rocks and steamer clams

Lila, Eva, my dad, GG and I explored the outdoors on Easter morning. Lila throwing rocks down at the creek and GG in the background.

Getting steamer clams out of Puget Sound. Scott, my dad, Lila and a BUNCH of steamer clams! At Shrum holiday's we always have a huge pot of steamer clams as appetizers. My dad digs them at the beach where he grew up digging clams. They are so yummy!

Easter Morning

We spent Easter morning at my parents house in Shelton. One cute little bunny and one superb egg hunter...

Visiting with Grandma Henri, Uncle Don and Aunt Cathy

We had a great time visiting family in Tacoma and this photo doesn't do it justice at all. Eva however, was SO crabby so it really was her best shot. Thanks Grandma Henri for the yummy lunch!

Dying Easter Eggs

Lila and I dyed Easter Eggs last Friday night. She really got into it and was able to do much of the work herself this year. Although, that resulted in some of our eggs getting broken and therefore we made a few deviled eggs too!

Eva's B-Day

Our little house just isn't big enough to have too many people over so we broke up Eva's birthday celebration. Last Sunday we had our neighbors over for pizza and cake. It was a lot of fun and Eva is really getting good at eating cake! Photos below of our little birthday girl and some of the party goers!

Eva LOVES her new swing!

Our friends Matt and Kim (and Brody) got Eva a new swing for her birthday. My dad hung it from our back patio cover and it's a big hit!

Eva Eating - 12 Months

Eva is the funniest, messiest eater. She has found that if she uses her index finger she can pick up 'wagon wheel' shaped pasta with one finger. On the other hand...she's learning to use her spoon! Enjoy. :)
