Valentine's Day Disaster

Everlee enjoyed a sugar filled valentine's Day between the goodies from a school party and the goodies she received from all her grandparents. She was bouncing off the wall until around 7pm when she came crashing down rather quickly. Everlee was so worked up, she didn't know what to do with herself. Once she realized Shane and I would not give into her tantrum, she started asking for her MiMi. Thinking MiMi would come to rescue. She shortly gave up but not before it was all caught on tape. I know she will love to see this when she is older!

Pedi Please!

Everlee has become fascinated with my painted toes. Whenever she sees my toes newly painted she says she wants a pedicure as well. "Paint, Momma." She loves to have me put cotton between her toes (no smudges) and paint each toe. She even knows enough about pedicures to request a top coat. Like mother, Like daughter. The video is a little dark but you can see how Everlee makes sure she blows on her toes to help each one dry quickly.

Black and Gold

Getting ready for the BIG game!


We had a great time getting ready for the BIG game. Everlee and I made sure we were all decked out ready to sport our Steelers colors. We were given cheers and "High 5's" all around town as we ran our errands prepping for the night ahead. All though we brought our game face, it wasn't enough for the Steelers to clench their 7th Super Bowl Title. We can't complain because we had a great season and a great time dressing the part!

Black and Gold

Everlee was so excited about the BIG game she couldn't wait to try on my official NFL Steelers helmet and wave her Terrible Towel. It never dawned on her the helmet might weigh more than she does. It didn't stop this dedicated fan from showing her team spirit. Although difficult, Everlee still managed to wave her towel and some what balance the helmet on her head. She even managed to chant, "Go Steelers!" Unfortunately, our team didn't take home their 7th Super Bowl ring but Everlee still managed to watch two Steeler Super Bowls in 2 years which is pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old. So now we will practice our Terrible Towel waving skills until August. Go Black and Gold!

Gymnastics 101

Everlee enjoyed her first visit to gymnastics. She amazed me with her composure and ability to follow close directions when others were running around in all directions. It is probably the most focus I have ever seen her besides when she focuses on Dora the Explorer. The Coach walked the children through 3 different stations which included rock walls, balance beams, uneven bars, and the infamous foam pit. Even a few parents took the plunge into the foam pit. Trust me, it really is hard to resist. Everlee was hooked from the first somersault and we are counting the days till next Saturday.

Make Over

Everlee has always had an obsession with both chap stick and lip gloss. She loves to put it on her lips, smack them together, and pass out lip gloss soaked kisses. It wasn't until Christmas vacation when she became curious about ALL of the make-up in my bag. She was especially curious when it came to the eye shadow and brushes so I let her play with a few. She enjoyed every minute of the application. She needs to work on her aim but at least it all made it on her face.
