Yes or No

With our baby being with her grandparents in Arkansas this week, we've had a lot more time to ourselves...to blog. This is a video that we took about two weeks ago. The family has been practicing the shaking of the head for a little while and then it hit the father and I that we haven't been practicing yes. Here is Evelyn practicing a new motion for her neck. Lets just say we need some more practice. :)

The first holiday dance.

We were at the Target, when we saw an entire room on the side of the store dedicated to Christmas. We went in and found the music-testing machine. Taylor Swift is a favorite of Meg's, so I pushed the button to listen to her music. Apparently Evie was in a very festive mood, because this is what we saw...

Happy Halloween

Meet the cutest Utes Cheerleader ever!!!

It was a wonderful Halloween. We spent the night at Tom and Reyna's and then trick-or-treating with Rico, Sokimna, Erin, and Eli. The booty was well received. Evelyn had no idea what the basket was for when we started. She just stood in front of the door with the pumpkin and looked at us like we were crazy. She didn't think that once the colorful wrapped candy was placed in it. When she finally figured out that she could take the holiday themed candy out of her basket we couldn't keep her hands out of it.

We feasted on Reyna's wonderful meal that she spent all day putting together for us. The night was ended with a scary movie, Ghostbusters. :)

One more fun thing that Evelyn enjoyed: The trick-or-treaters. Before we went around the neighborhood ourselves, we had a few visitors at Tom's house and Evelyn loved it. There would be a knock at the door and she would dash to the door, help whoever was handing out the candy to open it all the way and then steal some candy as the door was closing. Happy Halloween, and now on to Thanksgiving.

Hair we are

Evelyn's hair is finally long enough to do something with but her mom is also less worried about it being pulled out with a pony tail. Due to these two events coinciding, Evelyn has been wearing pig tails. They look like antenna. She is now our cute little bug most days. The only down side to this adorable new Evely is that when the pony tails come out we are still left with our little bug's hair sticking straight up. It dries that way and is stuck till we wash it again.

More adorable then the bug look are the curls that are emerging. She has gotten her daddy's curls and I am thrilled about it. Most of the time it ends up curled up at the ends leaving her mother jealous. We love our baby. She is the joy of our life and yes, she will regret her parents being computer literate when she grows up.

Jobless...

So...I was just let go from my job on Tues. I put in a full day of work and then at the end of it I was kindly told that the business was going in another direction and there wasn't time to train me properly. I was then handed my last pay check and left the office.

It wasn't until I was at the bank and the deposit was in the hands of the teller that I found out the check wasn't even signed.

Now I'm not blaming anyone, this is just a new development in our lives. I'll find something better and we'll be okay. But I thought this picture suited the event. Love you all and thanks for the support.

Etc...

So, life has been a little hectic of late. But to explain our last post first. I was on one computer and Mike was on another. I was finally sitting down to do some blogging. Now because of recent events, like forgetting the camera every time we go out, we've been using Mike's phone to fulfill our picture needs.

Well, on this night of blogging Mike decides to download all of the pictures that we have taken over the last few weeks and then delete them so that I could only blog from his computer that he is doing homework on. I called him a loving term of endearment and his post was in retrobution. There is is.

But to the hectic part of business...
I recently started a new job with a wonderful dentist in the Bountiful, UT area. Its been a bit of a challenge. I've had to learn a few new computer programs as well as things like reconciling bank statements. Now some of you may have learned how to do that with your first bank account, but it was completely new to me. Quickbooks and a program called Dentrix are now my daily companions.

My loving husband is currently sick with a cold and in bed. He has been in school for about 2 weeks now. He truly loves it. His classes are things like College Calculus and Microbiology. He has like 3 different labs a week and has a 1 hour commute both ways. Needless to say our time together is prescious.

Evelyn is almost a year old now. She started crawling at about ten months and is now running at 11 months and 1 week.
-She also broke three teeht in one week. One day she had just the one bottom one and the next there were two on the top and the fourth one came in about two days ago. She really has been good compared to the first one. She ran a high fever for a few days on the first one. And its been barely a fuss with these other three.
-She bonks heads now.
-Pushes furniture around just like her mommy.
-She has said 'Hi' to me a few times in the morning and I also heard an 'O-tay' one day.
-She climbs up and down stairs and she has also purposly rolled down them a few times.
-She makes the indian noise with her mouth. You know where you make a sound and then put your hand over your mouth and pull it away repeatedly. That's the best description I can give this morning.
-She also has a shoe fettish. She'll pick up or shoes and we find them all over the house now.
-Evelyn also enjoys pulling her clothes out of her drawer and trying to put them on. Mostly they just touch her head and then fall to the ground. But pants, shirts, skirts, they all try to sit on her head.

Well, this is where we are at. The years are short but the days are long.

Oh, Mike and I also celebrated our 2nd year anniversary a few weeks ago. We spent it in California at San Francisco for a day. The Ghirradeli Chocolate factory was hecca cool. But we love you all and will try and be better at this blogging thing again.

Meg is officially a bum!

Pho King.
