SIXTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is true. Bonnie turns 60 this week. Her kids and husband threw her a great party on Saturday night. How can she be 60 when I am only 40??????????

Everleigh is 7 months old

Can you believe it??? She is already more than a 1/2 a year old, holy cow has the time flown by. The best way to describe Miss Everleigh at this age is HAPPY! You can look at the pictures below and see for yourself but I mean it, she is happy all the time and always has a smile on her little face.

Everleigh has had a lot of firsts this last month. She started eating rice cereal and even added a veggie to the mix today. Everleigh sits on her own all the time and has really good balance. She gets on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth so I bet she will be crawling by my next email. Everleigh talks all day long. Seriously, she is hilarious because she talks to herself, she talks to anyone that will listen and she even raises her voice if others are talking. I wonder where she learned this from??? Everleigh loves American Idol and watches each performance intently. She love books, watching the cats and she loves, loves her mommy and daddy!

Everleigh has had lots of play dates with many of her little friends that were all born in 2009 (one on Jan 1st, 2010). She will grow up with 6 girls and 1 boy as little playmates that are children of our friends all born in the last year. She will also grow up with 5 cousins born within the last year. So it is a good thing she is such a social little girl!

This last month Everleigh had a visit from her Papa Chuck and Grandma Paula, had a baby shower for her Aunt Jesse (due April 29th) and had her first Easter with colored eggs and all. We also loss one of Everleigh's cats, Peanut unexpectedly which brought about much sadness in the Ketcher home.

We hope all of you are enjoying this "early" spring as much as we have been and hope to see you all in the sunshine soon!
Love, Ami, Scott and Everleigh

Looks like Owen found some Easter Eggs. Great hiding spot Easter Bunny.

Luke is having his own success in the Hunt. Not sure why you would wear a Bears sweatshirt, but we forgive you.
