we really enjoyed our morning.
evie will forever remember her 1st egg hunt at 3 days old!

it looks like payton is stealing eggs from iris, but she is actually hunting eggs for her. so sweet!

i'm so happy to be a baby wearing momma again.

• 2:00am, april 20th, i still can't settle down for the night. i am going from one photography website to the next getting ideas for maternity pictures that britt was going to take.
• 2:10 my water brakes...but i'm not conviced after googleing "water brake symptoms" so i go to bed.
• 3:30 hmmm....
• 4:30 okay, now that is definitely my water and cue jordan's wake up call...honey, wake up, i think my water broke....ARE YOU SERIOUS????
  
• 5:00 we arrive at the hospital and they confirm it was amniotic fluid and i labored for a couple of hours waiting on the dr to get there and set up the OR room
• 7:50 miss evie was born

this whole experience came as a complete surprise. evie was 3 weeks early and i never thought i would go into labor on my own. we were having a planned csection 2 weeks later. it was a wonderful experience to go through. the shock, the disbelief, the excitement, the unknown, the nervousness, everything! we are so blessed and thankful to God for wrapping us in His arms and taking care of us. we truly serve an amazing God!

getting ready to meet evie!

happy birth day, evie!

jordan is such a strong husband and daddy.
he would not leave evie's side, even when it took 4 nurses to draw blood on our screaming newborn in the nursery.

payton is such a proud BIG sister!
she is so sweet and gentle with her.

snoozing at 4am side by side


our small group planned a surprise baby shower for us, but evie came early and they brought the shower to us. they are such a wonderful group!

can you tell jord is proud of his girls?

weekend full of memories

we started off the weekend with our first camping experience!
we went with a bunch of our friends from church and made some awesome memories!
payton was so excited to go, she made sure we didn't forget:

• kite---check
  
• lantern---check
• whistle/compass from pops---check
• bug collector---check
  
• trail mix---check

those are the main things she cared about

she was so proud of her panda bear kite!

we totaled 20 kiddos ranging from 6 weeks old-7 yrs

fishing with her daddy
that 20 minutes of fishing wore her out

i just had to include these 2 pics....
it was a texas style wedding rehearsal taking place right next to the camp grounds
& their fancy rehearsal dinner in the back of the pick up. :)

aww, the beautiful sunset

laura setting up her tent, with leia in the back of the truck supervising(look really closely)

while jord and i set up ours. this is a classic 2 room tent. it is my parents and the one we used as a family when sis and i were growing up. it definitely has that musty smell.

it was SO cold when we woke up!
paytie woke up with smiles and jord it hiding under his hoody.
payton woke up in the middle of the night after jord almost fell into the
tent after using the bathroom! she crawled in bed with us. it was sweet.

rise n shine, daddy...

...it took him a while to bare the cold with us for breakfast.

after camping payton and i cleaned up and took a nap...while
jord helped britt and patty move. it was a busy saturday.

jord and i finished the weekend off with a quick "babymoon"
we went out to my parents condo on lake lbj for the night.
we ate horribly, watched 2 movies, played shuffle board, and rested.

now we are ready for baby #2


how's that for a busy weekend while being 37 weeks pregnant! :)
