I feel like Eva has been bonbarded with all of these "firsts" this week...and it's only Tuesday!
So she had her first swim lesson yesterday and today she had her first dentist visit! I was a little weary about how it was going to go...mostly because Eva is very sensitive to loud noises and I just though the sounds would freak her out. I tried to explain how it was all going to go down so she had a little bit of a heads up. She loved the kids waiting room full of toys.
Now Eva is very intelligent...I think she is and I've had many people tell me she is...so when she gets "shy" or "nervous" it's really embarrasing because she comes across as...not intelligent, that's the best way to describe it...nicely.
So the hygenist was asking her questions and Eva just sort of looks around, acts very shy and makes small peep sounds like a baby dinosaur...or a baby. I have to remind her to, "talk like a 4 year old" all the time...I know it's lame that it embarrases me but, it does, especailly since I go around sining her praises constantly and then when she meets someone she goes into this weird introverted 1 year old baby thing...really embarrasing.
So whatever, I had to pry answers out of her and answer questions for her but besides all of that, she did amazing. She got to touch all the mouth tools and see what they did and she did a great job of opening up and letting them clean her little pearly whites. I was actually really proud of her even though the baby talk was enough to make anyone's eyes roll. She did great. She was quiet until the minute we got out to the car and then she went on and on about how the water was so cool squirting out and it tickled and how cool her new toothbrush is and that the floss tasted so good.
She did great, hopefully she will love the dentist as much as I do. That's right, I love going to the dentist, it was my favorite doctor to go see...and I have my x-rays tomorrow and I can't wait! ;P

Eva's Swim Lessons
So today was the first day of swim lessons for Eva. She was so excited (that's a complete understatment). She was bouncing in her seat all the way there and practically broke down the door to get in. Once we were in we went to the ladies locker room to get her clothes off and rinse off and get in the pool. Eva took off her clothes in record time...around the corner there was an old naked lady and Eva gave this weird look like, "What is she doing naked?" it was hilarious. Anyway, we get to the pool and Eva's teacher seemed like a really sweet girl and there were only two other kids in the class, both girls! Eva did well, she listened and at one point they had the girls jump in and Eva of course wanted to hold the teachers hand to do it...she is all girl when it comes to her fear of doing things...and Eva didn't realize that they were in deeper water so when she jumped in she went under (of course) and she must have breathed in or something because she came up with eyes as big as baseballs and grabbing her nose saying it hurt and she was freaked out! I was just saying to myself over and over, "please don't cry, please don't cry." She looked over at me and I just gave her a huge smile and thumbs up and told her it was ok, that she did a good job...thankfully she didn't cry (yesssss).
After that they had a little free time to play with balls and whatever else and then the bell rings to let you know it's over and Eva flipped out. She just started bawling and didn't want it to be over yet, I had to explain to her that we were coming back on wednesday and it was a twice a week thing and swim lessons weren't completly over they were just over for today. It took a lot to calm her down. This is what she said back in the locker room:
"Mommy I'll stop crying if when we get home I can have one of those brown cookies(girl scout tagalongs)."
--unfortunately for Eva mommy finished all of the brown cookies...several days ago.--
So I told her we would go to Jamba Juice for a treat...she was ok with that. Now that I know there's a Jamba Juice in town, I will be there much more often.
On the way over to Jamba I attempted to parrallel park with the van...that was a joke. I was sweating and felt like a you know what, the spot was perfect! So then I just gave up and tried to find somewhere else to park...I ended up turning around, going back down the street and then turning again and then I found a spot...where I didn't have to parallel park...but I did have to pay :(
Regardless we got out smoothies and Eva is now napping...and Elle is screaming. The End.

Friday Shoe Day: Spring-tastic!
For everyone pining away for Spring I will bring you all the colors of Spring that you can't wait to see. I've brought you shoes in every color (practicaly) and I want you to be open about the colors. Don't think, "What could I wear with that orange shoe?" Think, "That could look cute with a eyelet sundress and sunglasses...or in my case, a pair of jeans and a hoodie.
Onward:
May as well dive right in and go straight for the orange shoe. This design is by NA NA and her name is "Pryor." She is made of soft supple leather and has the cutest lightest ribbon weaving in and out and finishing with a slight bow. So perfect for your feet, it's such a happy shoe. It's not super intense, yes I do realize that it is orange but it's not like neon orange. You could get these now and it could be like a little bit of "Spring crack" for your sense's. All you have to do to realize that the snow and rain will end is to look to your feet adorned with this yummy orange flat. Then think of all the ways to wear it: t-shirt and jeans, bermudas and a white button down, a fun circle skirt with a neutral tee, spring dress, with your swim suit etc. You CAN make an orange show work...especially if you're a beaver fan and it works even better if you live in Corvallis, every girl you see will want these. Pryor is only $70.
Onto my most expensive shoe...and it's not even a shoe it's a sandal that hardly covers any part of your foot. I only chose this sandal because it really is ready for spring and summer weather and it had all the colors of the rainbow...and it was ridiculously priced. This is "Anette" by Cynthia Vincent. Honestly I've already mentioned why I like it, it's super colorful and so nicely adorned with all the jewels it's a sandal that could really make any foot look rich. Of course since it's not covering much of your foot at all...you probably should only wear this if you have cute feet...no bunions, cracked heels or weird shaped toes...sorry, usually I don't discriminate against feet but this sandal will point out every flaw your feet have. Anette is $235.
When I first saw this show I loved it! I love the color...for those of you who don't know my favorite color is green and I love this green it is so bright and fun and shiny. Plus the cut outs are hot right now. I first thought, honestly, what could I wear these with? Flats are pretty easy to pair, even if they are a bright color but, this is a semi dress shoe, what with the heel and all and it is a unique color. It's got the laser cut details, it's 100% metallic leather, and even the 3 1/2" heel is covered in leather; it also has the gold contrast for a semi color blocking feel(color blocking is in too). So these are the outfits I made up in my head: a camel colored pencil skirt with a white button up, spring dresses in these colors: pink, turquoise, camel, black, lilac and white, also would look cute poking out underneath some trouser cut jeans...dark wash. There you have it, also I was so way off saying that Anette was the most expensive, Jean-Michel Cazabat over did himself with "Oria" and she's a stunning $525. That's almost rent.
This next shoe is by Rampage and her name is "Ophelia." Me-ow! I love it. Ophelia is in this stuning shade of cobalt blue and it's breath taking...it's definetly the color I wish the sky was right about now...sigh. Ophelia is done up in this crinkle patent and stuning bow, I love that it looks like it was made to be there...ok that sounds stupid, of course it was made to be there but some bows look like they were glued on, this one looks so purposeful, I love it. These baby's are only $50! I was tempted to buy them but they are already out of my size...which is shocking, obviously more people in the world have giant feet than I thought, they're out in size 7 too! You better get on the ball if you want these cobalt beauties, they come in red and black too.
Last but not least my lemon drop dream. This is "Buttercup" by Mia. Isn't she super retro, love it. Now this is a bright shoe, a sunshine yellow that has me dreaming of days of yore (anyone ever seen that Friends episode?). Anyway, Buttercup has these fab button details and this patent glow, ahhh, warm weather, I can almost feel the sunshine. Again, this shoe can go with whatever, so cute, love the peep toe, this little lady can not wait for warmer weather and neither can I...I think we were made for one another...Buttercup is only $70. Unfortunetly I'm not the only one craving a little buttercup, she's already sold out in my size (yet another sad face) but she does come in black, boo on rain.
Well I hope it's gotten a little warmer where you're at...even if it's in your head. Happy Spring shopping...even if it's online while you drink hot cocoa, I invite you to feel the the spirit of the new spring arrivals all over the internet...no purchase necessary.

Disney World Here We Come!!!
We're going to DisneyWorld this December to January 2009!!! We've been planning to go to Disneyland for Eva's 5th birthday for a while but when I sat down and did the math for the trip it made much more sense to try and shoot for Florida. My parents are coming too and none of us have ever been to DisneyWorld and we all can not wait! I made our reservation for hotel and tickets last week and it was so exciting! We're counting down the days till December 30th and we'll be gone until January 6th!! Woo Hoo!!!
100th Post!
So instead of writing 100 things that will sure to bore both you and me about myself...that no one will ever read...I have decided to write five awesome/silly/funny/sweet things about each of our family members.
JEREMY:
1. He would literally do anything for us.
2. He never complains when he comes home and not a whole lot is done around the house...and then he'll even make dinner sometimes.(I'm so lucky, no other man would put up with me)
3. He is so funny but only with me...I kind of like that.
4. He loves to just hold the girls.
5. He takes Eva out on dates to Petco.
ME:
1. If Eva has an accident or breaks something I tell her, "You know what, it happens it's ok, don't worry about it." And I think that's really cool.
2. I love all my friends so much and I think about them everyday, friends mean a lot to me and I hope that I always show that.
3. I like vacuuming and cleaning toilets.
4. I love buying my girls new clothes, I like to show off my personal style through them since I don't buy myself new stuff very often.
5. There is no other man in this world for me except Jeremy, we were meant to be together.
EVA:
1. Her hair naturally curls on the end so it always looks like her hair is done...which is such a blessing b/c I suck at doing hair + she hates it when I touch her hair.
2. She has a little mole on her neck right where her collar bones come together at the dip. I love it.
3. She loves animals just like her dad.
4. She's the only 4 year old I know that likes to get scared at the movies and regularly watches, Pirates of the Carribean, all the Harry Potter movies and Short Circuit.
5. She gave her sister the nickname "Ellie Belly."
ELLE:
1. When you hold her she loves to arch her back so she goes upside down. It's her favorite.
2. Whenever we go out she always gets compliments on her blue eyes.(I never thought I had the genetic chance to have a blue eyed baby so I love her eyes and all the compliments.)
3. She says, "Momma" when she really needs me.
4. She hugs back.
5. She'll play with Eva in her crib quietly in the morning so I can get an extra 20-30 minutes of sleep.
