Box Baby

We went to Sam's Club and bought these little fruit cups for Evelyn to make snack time a little more easy. But the box is just awkward in her cupboard. So I took out all the fruit cups and set the empty box on the counter. I turned around to throw some trash away and found my daughter sitting in the box. Her daddy thought she needed to experience being in cardboard. She is pretty cute wearing a label.

Glee of the Diaper

Our beautiful baby girl never ceases to surprise us with her inginutity and sneakyness. I was being a thoughtful and loving mother when I allowed Evely to hang out in her new, clean diaper before I put her in her outfit for the day. Like most babies, she loves the freedom of no clothes; so I reiterate that I was being a thoughtful, kind mother when I allowed her to crawl and stumble around the floor with only her diaper on.

To my joy and fears, my sister-in-law Becca, or Aunt Bex as we have dubbed her, squealed a minute or two after I placed my semi-nude daughter on the family room floor. There stood my daughter in all her glory with an unattached diaper in hand and a look of shear glee on her face.

Evelyn had smartly and quietly removed the disposable diaper from her clean bottom and then had remained quiet about it so as not alert the parentals to her deed till we were paying attention.

I am contemplating buying duct tape now. :)

A Compendium

Because we have ample free time at home as both Meg and I do not have jobs, we have chosen to forget our blog completely.
We offer, as recompense, a compendium of videos etc. for your viewing pleasures.

This is the baby being cute for Mom!

Evie has began to flap her arms and constantly tries to fly away.

Mom and baby wish a Happy Mothers Day to all women. Evie is beginning to cruise like this on any available furniture.

We are happy here in Utah, but still need jobs. I am going to finaly start going to school full time this fall. I am in the Biomedical Engineering program, and plan to go nonstop until I am done. We do miss Idaho, and hope to see our friends as often as possible.

A little stress, and a new home.

Michael, Meg, and Evelyn all had a heartbreaking experience the other day. We had to leave our home in Rexburg and move down to Utah. Mike grew up in Utah with his parents, and Meg has had her entire extended family there her whole life. They also both hate Idaho, but there is no substitute for the friends that we have in our little apartment building up there. All we have down here is a BBQ. So we will have to eat our ribs without you.



Someone unwittingly packed away our Evie, but later found her on the bread shelf.



Needless to say... She wanted OUT.

Graduation!!!

The day has finally arrived. Meg is going to graduate. We are all so proud of her. She finished in 4 years, and in the mean time had a baby and got married, although not in that order. She has had a very busy 4 years, and can now relax... wait... jobs are stressful?
We shot this video of her walking, and her name was the only one the announcers messed up.

Happy Birthday Aunt Xelie

Today is Michelle's birthday. Well, technically it was April 6, and we are just late. We have been meaning to give you a birthday blogging, but in our later posts you will see why that was difficult. Our dear Evie knew about your birthday, and she decided to celebrate by having a birthday cookie.
We want you to know that we love you, and support you in everything you do... except drugs. Don't do drugs. Happy 19th, Xelie.

Little Race Car Driver

We went shooting the other day and because Evelyn's ears are stilla little sensative I get to sit in the car with her while Mike shoots and then roles reverse when I'm ready to shoot.

Well, I was shooting and when I got done with my clip, I went over to see how my family was doing in the car and found this...Evelyn has her little feet through the holes in the steerwheel and is holding onto it too.

She even honked the horn at us at one point. I guess we should be grateful that she's going to be more interested in her driver's license then boys, or so we hope. :)
