Don't be fooled..........

I may look sweetbut,

I couldn't love her more, but is she to young to get so naughty? Good thing she is stinking cute, I kinda think the tantrums are funny, she is such a faker. Kinda emotional lately, I think it's because she is getting some more, yes more, back teeth, oowweee. She is going to have a full mouth of teeth by her first birthday. I try to ignore these, I am not even sure all the time why she is having one, if I know I try to talk to her, but it is not that easy to discuss something with a ten month old. Oh I love her. She's hilarious!

While we were gone!

Ever and I have been in St. George for the last week. It was nice to be there with Tara while she waited for little Tegan to arrive. We probably walked every store there, she did so much walking. It was nice to spend time with her though. We missed Rhett but he did a lot of work on the house while we were gone, he is so handy. It was so awesome being there to watch Tegan be born, what an amazing experience, thanks Tara and Troy for letting me be a part of it! He is perfect. Ever was not a fan of the swing, she did like the slide though. She was so good, she went everywhere with us and chilled in the stroller for hours while we would walk. Rhett's parents were so good to her also, they watched her for me while I went to the hospital, it was so nice of them. She is one lucky little girl, she has a lot of people that love her.


These were taken before we left. She is getting into everything, and walking a lot now. She still prefers to crawl, but with some coaxing is actually pretty good at walking, she tries to run though and that messes it up. I can't believe how big she is getting and how smart she is. Daddy brought some balloons home from work, she loved them, look at her hair!!!!

Rhett tiled our tub surround and refinished the tub, these were all surprises, we have talked about doing them, but never thought we would this soon. He definetely kept busy while I was gone, thanks for making our little old home so dang nice, you are so good!!!
The cute little gate he built that keeps ever from going down the stairs, she tries a lot.

Little Miracle!!!!

Tegan Jack Barnes finally made it here, he gave his mom hell, but is perfect and absolutely beautiful!!!!! I can't even say how proud I am of my sister, she did amazing. She had a rough labor and delivery, I do not envy her one bit, but she did it and I am amazed by her strength. He couldn't be more cute! Troy was awesome to, it's not easy seeing someone you love in so much pain, he handled it so well, and was so good to her. They are the cutest little family. I think this is the most beautiful picture. Tegan loving his exhausted mommy, but she doesn't care how tired she is, she just loves him and is such a good mommy.

The last week....

Rhett' s sweet Grandma Betty passed away so we were in Mona and Nephi over the weekend for the viewing and funeral. It was a beautiful service and she will be greatly missed. Sadly this is the only pictures I took there, us in our hotel room. But it was great to see so much family. I am sad I didn't get more pictures. Ever was so great during the funeral. She did awesome, and didn't cry the whole time. I wish she was that good at church all the time!!!
I tried to snap some photos of Ever the other day, she was not a big fan and actually dived off the couch while I was doing them, the highlighter was my attempt to get her happy, she crossed her feet, cryed and said no pictures. I did get a few cute ones though.
I got to see my cousins baby Dilynne the other day, and couldn't resist taking her picture, I think she is so beautful. I love her. That is all for now, hope I have some exciting news of a NEW BABY soon, My sista is due anytime. I can't wait to hold him, she better keep her eye on me so that I don't run away with him. HAHA

Mama's girl!

So we get so many different opinions on who Ever looks like, it is rarely me, but lately more people have said that. I found this baby picture of me the other day and thought, holy cow that looks like Ever. I don't have a scanner so this is the best way I have to show it. Kinda freaky I think. I decided this is Ever's blog now since that is all I blog about mostly! Her newborn pics that Brianna did are the best don't you think. I am leaving that on there until she is 1!

Ever turned 10 months yesterday, I am freaking that she will be a year in 2 months, holy cow. She is so funny and keeps us laughing. This chair is so funny. She stands and puts her hands on the seat and does a booty dance for us, bounces her knees, we recorded it and I wish I could show it, it is so funny. She loves loves loves to dance. She is getting pretty dang smart. She will sit and look at a book forever. She knows what a tiger is and she roars, and a cow, she has a cute little moo she does. She knows nosem eyes, mouth, ears, she loves dog, I wish I could get her one, but her parents are so not animal peeps. I just love her to death, I can't stand it.

Meeting baby Kendall for the first time. She is so pretty, I love her. It was good to see Jocelyn to. Jocelyn thinks Ever is weird, like me, kinda true. We went down to see baby Amelia and go to her blessing. I am so glad I did. I love her so much, she is so pretty, and pictures don't do her justice. It was such a fast trip, I wish I could have seen more peeps, but we also ran in to Lindsey and I got to see baby Stella, way cute too. I saw three new babies, holding them made me realize that the newborn stage is kinda scary.

I stinking love her little bum in these pants, they are the cutest. Daddy loves them too, he is not always a big fan of her clothes, jeans and a sweater or shirt, he is happy!

She sure loves her daddy, she can't wait to see him every night, she hears him come through the door, and gets smiley!!!

Wow... she's growing so FAST

In 9 1/2 fast months my baby has gone from itty bitty to a big girl, literally! She is still 97th percentile for her height which is 30 inches now, and down to 70th percentile for weight which is 21.5 lbs, still so big though. She is the same size as most the little kids at church that are like 16 months. She is so fun though and so healthy, we are so blessed. I love when people ask if she was a big baby at birth. I say no, she was 7 lbs 4 oz, and came home at 6 lbs 13oz. 10 days later she was 9 lbs 2 oz. She grows so fast, it is kinda sad, my baby is no longer a baby. I am so glad I get to have more, I love the baby phase. I must admit though, she cracks me up and I love every stage.

This is Ever at 5 days, skinny little thing. All the pictures to follow are before she was even 3 months most 4 to 8 weeks! Amazing how chunky she was, she almost looks uncomfortale, its hilarious. I was looking through all my hundreds of pictures, just laughing, she was so chunky. I miss it, I could eat her up.

This is like 5 weeks
This is 8 weeks old
this is 7 weeks old
This is 8 weeks old, she looks so mad!

Everyone who thinks your baby is getting big so fast, remember they could grow like this, double their birth weight in 8 weeks, amazing. Oh I love her.
