This little girl is full of it!

Hope these pictures make you laugh like they did me, she was so hyper this day!

She totally does the splits, and somersaults perfectly. I decided to get her in a little class at a gym by my house called FLIPS!!!

These are the only 2 pictures grandma got before her camera died, but she loved it. The teacher said that it would take her probably 4 or 5 times to want to stay in the group and not run around. She was shocked that after 50 minutes she had participated in all the things we did. She actually told me that she listens very well and is a good girl. Don't hear that often. This is going to be so fun to do every week together. She seriously loved it and was so cute! She even danced along with an older class to there christmas routine, she is so stinking funny!

Tegan and Ever are so cute, they totally play now and we caught them holding hands in the car the other night. it was dark so they had no idea the picture was coming, so cute!

They had a blast at ikea to!

Rhett and I on his bday, before our dinner and movie night!

Tara made Rhett a yummy cake!

Rhett and I went to the Jazz game last night and stayed at the Radisson hotel downtown for our anniversary. Rhett set it all up and surprised me, it was a lot of fun and so nice to spend some quality time together. We left Ever over night for the first time, I was so nervous, but she loves her auntie and they said she was great. I sure was excited to see her this morning! Thanks Guys for watching her, it was way nice!

27 & 5

My hubby is 27 today!! Happy Birthday babe! Ever and I love you more than anything. Thanks for all you do for us, we hope you have the best birthday!

5 Years

Rhett and I were married 5 years ago, Nov. 20th 2004!
Best thing I have ever done.
I was so happy that day, and get happier every day.
I would not be the person I am today if it wasn't for Rhett.
I truly know that he is the only one for me. I have always felt it.
He is the only person I have, and will ever love.
I get to spend forever with him, and it still isn't long enough.

He knows me so well, maybe to well.
He puts up with me, that is hard to do.
He gave me Ever, the best gift in the world.
She looks just like him which is so nice because now I can see him even more.
He loves me, he loves Ever, and would do anything for us.
We would for him to!

I am truly so lucky to have him by me every day and night!
He is the greatest person, hardest worker, so creative, handy, and funny.
He can be silly, he is a worrier, he is focused, and loving.
He can play babies, and do girly things with Ever.
He colors with her and passes on his amazing talent of art, which he won't admit he has, but he does. He can truly draw anything, and is very good at it.
He listens to me talk about names and babies all the time, rarely gets frustrated.
He cares about the house looking nice as much as I do.
He can build anything, truly!
He can fix anything with spray paint.
He can't take a bad picture!
He has a tan all the time, which annoys me actually.
Picks his fingernails constantly.
Plays with my hair whenever I ask, so nice of him.
Most important is the love he has for his daughter, it makes me cry just typing it. He can tell if we have had a rough day, he takes over and never loses his patience with her. BEST dad to his little girl! That alone makes me love him more than I can say. If everything else went away, that would still be enough for me. She is so lucky to have him as her daddy! And I am the luckiest girl, he chose me and I will always be so grateful for that. He was meant for me!

hobby or obsession? both!!!

I am not a photographer, I really don't want to be one either. But if you know me at all you will know that I love pictures. I always have, that has always been my form of decorating. Some may say I have to much up, to me it's never enough. I think that there is nothing more interesting to look at. I guess you can tell I love them by the amount I have taken of Ever.

Anyways, two of my cousins asked me to take pictures on sunday. We started with my cousin Melesa's family. It was her, her hubby Jeff, and her three step daughters, Ashley and Danielle, who are twins, and Emily. It was a lot of fun and we stumbled across this place on accident, and ended up staying there the whole time. Aren't those 3 girls darling, they actually came up with all the ideas mostly and were fun to photograph. I tell everyone that I dont have the training, knowledge or equipment, so please don't expect much. But I do love it and will capture you as well as i can!

After that family my other cousins showed up,different side of the family, with the color they were wearing and being that they didn't know eachother, I really wanted to go back to that spot. I have never done this before, didn't even realize I had filled my whole card up, and had no back up. We had to use Tara's camera for a but which I am not familiar with, those pics are good, a little blurry since I don't know the settings as well, but it was nice to have it. We wandered over to an old museum. It is no longer in use, but the owner called it his front lawn. He has absolutely no signs posted that say no trespassing, but felt that he should call the cops on us. We werent doing anything wrong, we were not even touching the stupid building, our car was parked on the road and we were always in plain sight. Some people are crazy. His wife was taking our pictures, it was hilarious. He said he was a cop, the cops showed up and said, they are not doing anything wrong, you have no signs, and they let us go. wow, all that over a old abandoned building. We got some darling shots though. Bryce is a senior so we did his pictures for that. Then snapped some family ones. I remember bryce and britney as babies, it is so sad they are this old. They used to come stay with us all the time, and I truly feel like they are my little brother or sister.

Loving the Season

Ever and her twin, she for sure is her daddy's girl! love these 2 more than my life! they are awesome, and she has him wrapped around her little finger.!

Loving the weather, loving our yard, even though I have to rake all the time, it looks so pretty in the fall I think!

treat please!!

she had a blast, she walked from house to house, and from person to person, and from trunk to trunk. we did three different trick or treating sessions. halloween night at aunt marci's neighborhood, my aunt trixie's hospital, and the ward trunk or treat. she had the best manners and started saying thank you every piece of candy without being told. i was very proud of her! i was horrible and didnt take hardly any pics. this is all i got!

this was at the hospital, all the cute people were lining the halls and it was non stop candy. my cousin melesa took this picture actually, i stole it from her facebook. i love ever's expression.

funny part about this, she really doesnt want to eat her candy that much, just the suckers. she is more than willing to share with anyone who asks!

19 months and pumpkins!

This little thing is 19 months now. I think blogging about it makes it come faster, but it is such a good way for me to remember things, it pretty much my diary for her. I hope someday to print it off for her. I want to remember every little thing, I can't help it.

1. Her manners are getting so good, she says thank you, and sometimes thank you so much, thats my favorite. Please and your welcome are becoming a lot more common to.
2. She is starting to be more opinionated about her clothes
3. I let her pick out her shoes most days, she likes it
4. She is getting more shy, which I must say I love because I get to hold her more that way.
5. She is really liking playing with other kids a lot and does fairly well with sharing
6. She is getting better at saying OK mom when I say no to something
7. loves to play in candles and rub the wax everywhere, also loves to take everything out of the dishwasher and spread it around the house.
8. Loves puting on her own lotion
9. She lets me do her hair
10. pretty good about not messing it up, but really hates her bangs in her eyes
11. says thats cute all the time, to clothes, or whatever.
12. Loves lucky charms
13. still loves her 2 bottles at nap and bedtime
14. gets right in her big girl bed at nights and goes to sleep around 9 pm
15. wakes up 2 to 3 times at night and rarely sleeps past 7 am
16. asks for mommy a lot and I love it
17. has seriously stinky feet for a little one
18. hates getting her teeth brushed. its a battle
19. loves to get lipstick (lipgloss) put on
EXTRA's

--Loves when her daddy comes home, runs up to him and gives him a big hug.
--Loves Teg! they are playing together so well and she is a lot softer now.
--when a song comes on she tells everyone to dance individually, like dance Teg, or dance gammy. it so funny!
-- Not really good at feeding herself, she makes a mess and plays in her food mostly. gotta stop that
-- I did a brides hair and her maid of honor here at my house on saturday, when the maid of honor got her dress on Ever said, you are a beautiful ballerina!

Our version of carving pumpkins is
coloring them!

Ever had a blast, did this for like 45 minutes, she was very proud. she takes after her daddy! Sorry little girl, mommy hates messy things really bad!

I kinda think her hair is looking red, i have been blow drying it, its so shiny and seriously looks red sometimes. not sure where that came from! But I love it!

More Everbell, bowling, halloween, etc........

I really took pictures for like 10 minutes, and 2 places. I thought maybe I could get like 2 or 3 good ones for a halloween card. Ended up loving basically everyone I snapped. Mostly cause I love this little fart. She is so in love with her halloween party, she wants to wear it all the time, but we can't yet. I am sure as soon as halloween is over she will be in it a lot. Love my FAIRY.

The other night we had people over for the really sad byu game. This was Ever enjoying an ice cream sandwich after the game, our friend thought it would be funny to tell Ever to smash it in her own face. What is with people thinking it is funny to get you kid all messy and then leave you to clean up? Anyway, she doesn't love to be dirty and when we showed her her face she cried. It made for some cute pics though!

I love trying to get a picture of four little kids, I think it is so funny how no one can concentrate and they all do different things.
This is my cousing darling little boy Andrew. He watches Rocky like every day I guess and loves to act out the scenes. He makes the cutest boxer I know and is great at having his picture taken.

We had a lot of fun bowling the other night, Ever wasn't digging it to much since she can't really hold the ball, but she ran around the place instead and we chased her all night and tried to stop her from running down the lanes.

Here is a picture of the clown costume I was in love with. The description says it is really puffy and bounces around when they run from house to house. I was so excited to have it, didn't get it though, maybe they will sell it and I can have it next year. Or i can have one made!

This is Dilynne. I have taken some pictures of her before, but she is one now. I snapped a few the other day, but isn't she so stinking cute?

For the record..................
Week 2 in nursery not so good. Main reason might be that Ever is waking up before 5 in the morning, crying all the time, and getting a 2 year molar. Not a good combo. She went right in and when relief society was about 15 minutes from being over I couldn't take it any longer and went and checked. Snack time was happening, Ever was not sitting at the table. I heard her screaming and found the poor nursery lady trying to calm her down. They didn't want me to take her, said she would be fine, but I wasn't. We were all tired but she wanted her mom, and I caved like I always do. She stayed right by me the rest of church though. I took her back for the last 10 minutes of nursery and she had a ball, she liked that i was in there. Another little girl came and sat on my lap and she tried to rip her out of my arms. She is at a funny age right now, she is changing, getting more shy, and I love seeing her personality!
