some things to remember!

1. when she sees her halloween costume she says, "halloween party"
2. i could tell she needed to go poo so i said , do you want to go on the potty? she says "yeah" and sure enough went. lets hope it sticks this time
3. she plays with the halloween decorations, she says "scare me". she plays with a little scarecrow, i asked what she did to it she says, "broke a eye off", which she did.
4. heard her in her room saying, "my name Ever Yates! "
5. if you want to brush her teeth you have to let her brush yours.
6. she put her arm around tegan in the shopping cart the other day and sang him the whole barney song.
7. most words that have an R as the second letter like, tree, crab, cradle, TRUCK, all make the F sound. yeah not always good.
8. she says the F word when you ask her what the Q says, weird. she trys to say quack.
9. every time we see a truck she just says truck, or the f word i mean.
10. loves to sing, and wants a tubby all the time.
11. wants to color all day, will draw something and say what it is, like a circle or a dog.
12. when we go to the store she says oh thats cute to everything, or thats adorable.
13. loves to pick her clothes out.
14. way picky eater, way. maybe its cause she is sick right now.
15. poor thing has puked a lot in the last few days, she says, I frew up when she is done, so sad.
16. so funny when you open a cupboard or a drawer and find random things. rhett found a spoon and bowl in his sock drawer the other day, and I found a bowl of grapes in the cupboard, a day after I gave them to her.
17. she understands everything I say, i talk to her like I would anyone. she is so easy to negotiate with to, I say k we need to do this then you can have that, or something like that and she is so good to do it.
18. hasnt thrown a tantrum in a while, used to do it all the time. when we leave the park instead of freaking she just says, "bye park, see u later". also cleans up her mess really well.
19. oh my gosh, and I love you are my favorite things she says.
20. she sees letters when we are out and says what it is and there sound without me asking.
21. she is so sweet to me, gives the best loves and kisses me without me asking, i freaking love her to death.
22. kind of a bully. maybe worried about her toys is a better way to put it. nursery is this sunday for the first time. help I am freaking out, worried to death about how she will act.
23. wears 2t pants now, so stinking tall.
24. loves her halloween fairy costume, says "I fly" when she has it on and jumps around.

this 18 month of her life is so fun. i cried last night thinking about how old she is getting. CRAZY!

18 months

She laughed the whole time, was so into the animals, this was a lot better than the first time. She was loving it. Every time we would ask her where we were going today she said "the zoo." Then we would say what are we going to see, "the animals". What kind? "Tigers, elephants, monkeys." She actually said this for like 2 days, Rhett told her a little to soon, she couldn't stop talking about it. It was so fun, we are going to have to go more often.

What the heck, another month gone. To much fun stuff going on, don't know where to start. I am really behind, we have done a tonf. We will start with the zoo. That is the oldest I guess.

I would like to write all the new things she is doing, but she is so whiny right now, not a long enough nap today, better go help Rhett! I keep hearing her say, "don't do that." holy attitude. she just said, "don't do that either." Poor thing, got to go.

LOVE these!!

Heidijphotography.com/blog, she's awesome. Couldn't be happier. Ever looks just like her dad!

fake pics

I don't know what else to call these pictures. Kaity works with this photographer, heidi j photography, Tara and I told her we would help her with her bridals and engagements because she wants to start doing weddings. So we did some bridals and engagements, kinda dorky I know, but I traded with her for hair and got to do some family pics also, she is a great photographer and I really wish she was my real one for these moments. I still haven't gotten my family ones yet, just these for now. I guess this is just a couple. I can't believe how cute Rhett is he will be so mad I said that but he gets better looking every dayI love him so much. I am totally going to look older than him forever.

So Tara did some bridals to, she can post them if she wants, she should cause she looks smoking hot!! Love ya Tara!

bees game, gateway, and abc's

Rhett's work took everyone to the bees game on labor day. It was pretty fun, can't say I watched any of the game, it was nice not having to sit in seats though. There is no way that would happen with Ever, she has to be going going all the time. Sometimes I wish she never wanted off my lap or out of my arms, then I love that she is so curious and adventurous, it is so her.

that night we went to the gateway for fun, of course all the stores were closed, so we just ate. this is Ever right before we left, super tired. She fell asleep, and slept the whole time in the stroller, and went to bed right when we got home. the game and fun day really wore her out, it was nice to have her asleep during dinner, we got to sit and eat for once.

Ever thinks her new penguin jammies are pretty cool. she tears her jammy drawer apart looking for the duck jammies, they are to small so I thought I would try to replace them with some other animals, I think these are cuter.

She was not to thrilled about the fountain this time. Pretty sure she remembers the time she got drenched in her clothes and it scared her because she wasn't expecting it and didn't know it was coming. I will have to take her a few more times so she isn't scared. she looks so stinking cute in her swimsuit though, so I took too many pictures of it.

Here is Ever doing her alphabet sounds. She is so funny and is so distracted all the time, I am quite amazed I got her to do them all at once. I love this little girl, she amazes me so much every day, and is getting so old. I can pretty much talk to her like she is a big girl and she understands and answers back like she is 4 years old. She is so funny!

*** We took family pics this weekend, not sure they will turn out, Ever was not digging it, but I cant wait to see them. They were kind of spur of the moment, I traded with a great photographer, I did her hair she takes our pics, best deal I think! I really hope we get a couple cute ones, she is so talented and I hope Ever sat still long enough to get something good! Cross your fingers. I sure am! *****
