Old & Forgotten...

I was sorting through some photos today..and forgot about these photos. My sister Kylee took it when we wer doing her engagement photo shoot, so its a few months old. After editing them I wanted to share them with you. I love being a mommy to this sweet little girl:) Nothing can describe the love I have for my little Evelyn!

Shake it Evelyn:)

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing
Just a taste of Evelyn's latest dance moves. She goes crazy every time there is music on. Of course everytime we try to film it she doesn't do it. Figures:) It's like kids know when to not do it. Also notice how nice and smooth this video is. And no clicking sound. Trent's new camera is treating us pretty well!!

OUCH HONEY!!!

Trent came home Friday night with this little number!! Ya, he was playing at his BYU intamurals soft ball team. He got it while sliding into second base. Well, at least he got safe. I asked him if he thought it was worth it...and he said it was fun. Wow I gotta hand it to guys, they are pretty tough when it comes down to stuff like this. I would have complained nonstop if I got this. However, in the long run girls win, we get the monthly gift from mother nature. And have children. I know a guy couldn't handle any of that!! Sorry all you men out there, but its true.

So Much Fun!!

I think this is the funnest age with Evelyn so far. She sure is an independent little thing. What she loves to do lately:
1- Swimming, blowing bubbles and putting her face in, has no fear of water.
2- Playing outside, she is so fast, we really have to watch cause she runs right to the sidewalk and by our busy street. Can now walk down the sidewalk by herself around our whole block. I wonder how far she would walk if we let her.
3- Eats graduates lil' cruchies cheetos like they are going out of style.
4- To play with her cousins down the street. Or any other kid that will give her attention.
5- Giving daddy kisses and running to him the second she knows he is home. Is turning into a real daddy's girl.
6- Dancing you put on music and she gets down. Running in circles is her latest move.
7- Watches a Blues Clues DVD every morning. I just have to say Blues Clues and she runs to the TV and screams with excitement.
8- Pulling out her hair, mom fixes it, she pulls it out. We go through this ritual daily.
9- Reading books, she is always handing them to us to read to her. Its really adorable.
10- Her stuffed elephant Rosebud. She cuddles it to sleep. And throws it on the ground when she wakes up. When I go to get her she says uh-oh and points to Rosebud on the floor.

DOCTORS ORDERS!!

So we took Evelyn to her new doctor on Monday at BYU. She told us that Evelyn is in the 10th percentile for weight right now. Not so good. Her words were" I want you to give her as much icecream as she will eat. They can afford to eat it but just not us adults." So, all this week we have been trying to feed her more food in general. But, the bad thing about the icecream is I spoon feed it to her, which also means I am inhaling it. Not so good. Plus I am lactose intolerant so double not so good. Hope I can get the pounds to show up on Evelyn and not on myself!!

Great 4th Of July:)

For the 4th some of Trent's family came up and we had a barbeque at Ty & Annie's house. It was lots of fun. Evelyn played with her cousins in the sprinklers and fell and scraped her knees pretty good. It was a fun holiday though. Hope everyones was good!!

Did I Mention??

Yes, this is OUR GARDEN...growing in our back yard. Trent and I decided to plant one this year. Cause the soil is so great up here. We really had no idea how to grow a garden. But, apparently we did something right. We planted yellow squash, peas, carrots, & one tomato plant. Everything has grown pretty good except for the peas. And we have tons of weeds that need to be pulled. But, I can say I love being a gardener, & hope to do it in the future.
