Birthday girl!

We had a birthday here on the 17th! It's crazy we have a one year old! I gave Evie a cupcake on her birthday and she opened two presents. (Those pictures are at the bottom) We had a birthday party for Evie. We had a lot of fun. Evie just loved having friends over to play with. I'm sure she enjoyed the cake and the candy too. Thanks to everyone who came! We loved having you over!

Christmas

We spent Christmas in Montana. Evie was still sleepy when she started opening presents. She like ripping the paper.


Really fun stacking toy! She loved playing with the rings!



She got sooo many clothes!


We went up to wolf point to visit Jason's grandma. Evie got to meet Jason's cousin's kid and they had sooo much fun running around together!

11 months old

Can you believe it? Time goes by too quickly! She is so funny and smart. Her personality is so funny, although stubborn like both her parents. She'll say "mama" "Dada" "hi" "eieio" (she loves singing and music, especially old McDonald) she'll do a surprised face and gasp after we do it. She LOVES running around. She mastered walking over a month ago and now she just keeps getting faster. She loves to "help" unload the dishwasher, aka try to climb in, pull dishes out and carry them around. She loves to open the drawer under her bed where we keep her clothes, and pull them out. She loves people!
When I have my camera out she will try to grab it so I have to be quick. She loves eating pizza (dough and pizza sauce). She loves to be in the action, if we're cooking in the kitchen she will need to be in there with us.
She loves to read her books. She'll pull them off the shelf in her room and open them up. We read stories every night as part of bedtime.
she'll throw her food on the floor when she is finished eating/doesn't want it.
She recently started to wag her finger (like she's saying no).

Pan surfing?

Here is a pic to hold you over until the "real" new posts come!
(picture taken about a month ago... ish)


My little busy body! She loves to follow me into the kitchen and open and close all of the cupboards. This time she opened the cupboard with the pots and pans. Shen then proceeded to take out our smallest frying pan and "skate" around the kitchen partially in the pan.

mini update....

Wow. Um, we've been busy (pictures to come soon).
We had a wonderful thanksgiving. My family was able to drive out and spend the holiday with us. We had so much fun and they were such a help. Evie was sick and wanted to be held a lot, which was so nice to have them here to help with that. Anyway, Evie just woke up so I will post pictures and do an actual Thanksgiving post and an update on us...

Halloween

Evie and I went to our ward trunk or treat/halloween party on Saturday evening. It was really fun, there were so many great costumes and we had fun going around getting candy (She even ate her way through a couple of wrappers) 

On actual Halloween we went out trick-or-treating with our friend Natalie and her family. Evie and I were glad to get some fresh air and spend time with friends. 

And what's a blog post without any pictures? (Especially with how little text I have been using in these posts lately)

You may think she's a bear, but she is in fact a monkey.

2 posts today!

I love this girl soooooo much!!!!!!

I didn't even know the flower and the jacket were the same color until I put the flower on the hat. Perfect coincidence.
