I think I can, I think I can...

So today I've been researching food storage. I have a feeling that I need to get a move on this. Luckily, I live in the mecca of Mormon homemakers who have years of experience on me so I've been able to reap a lot of knowledge in just an hour of surfing the web and sifting through blogs. For all of you who may be in my same boat, I'm going to be sharing the best blogs and links I find on my blog! Yay me! Please check out the awesome links I have found so far on the left. Also, I'm going to be collecting coupon sites for grocery stores and hopefully other common stores I shop from (because I'm poor and love to save). I have found a few already so those will be on the blog as well. Happy shopping!

Who Toys When You Have Cousins?

Evie absolutely LOVES visiting Brandi's house and getting to see Ori and Aurora and from their reactions you can see that they love seeing her too. Evie gets a bit frustrated sometimes though because she thinks she is older than she is and wants to run a play with the kids. But, I found a great distraction tool, the toddler car. She has a blast just siting in there and playing with the steering wheel. The funny thing is that sometimes the older kids get jealous when they see her having such a fun time with their toys! But, they are such sweet kids and usually enjoy sharing their toys with her. Thanks Brandi for having amazing kids!!

Evie Playing with Cousins

My car was in the shop and Brandi was nice enough to let me hang out at her house for a while. Unfortunately, Evie was really grumpy because her tummy was hurting and her feelings where sensitive. This picture was taken when Brandi made a funny sound but Evie got scared and started to cry right when I took the picture. It was funny. The video was taken before the picture.

Evie's First Baba

You say "Yum," I say "Ew!"

According to Seth, this juicy bagel creation was "the most disgustingly awesome bagel ever!" It was dripping with peanut butter, jam, and cream cheese. Good thing it is nearly impossible for him to gain weight or else he would be in big trouble!

Evie was very curious during my and Seth's playful argument debating whether this bagel was "disgustingly awesome" or just plain disgusting.

Mommy & daughter pedi!

I had so much fun painting our toe nails or in Evie's case, toes and toe nails!

Evie laughs at scary voices

This was so weird but funny! Evie really likes it when I do my "scary" voice, but apparently she thinks it hilarious. This happened when she was eating dinner one day because I need to get her attention sometimes so she will look up and take a bite. I had a kick being so terribly not scary.

Being coy

Relaxing

Don't hate me, I love baby bums!

Okay, so in my defense, this is my first indulgence in sharing my baby's rear with the world. I can't help it, I think she has the cutest bum! Especially with all the chub and rolls. Exhibit A...





This next and kinda weird picture was taken because Seth noticed her bum looked like a heart. Exhibit B...


And this one was just because she was being coy.

Kitchen

Finished paint and countertops!!

New paint and bathroom vanity!

House Update!

So I went by the house today to see if anything was different since Seth and I picked out all the detail colors and such on Tuesday with the agent. A builder was sitting in his truck in the driveway and I talked to him and he said they were painting today, putting in the cabinets and counter tops next Friday and all the rest of the fixtures and details on monday! YAY!!! He said they are shooting to be ready for inspection before the end of the month! I'm getting more excited but still nervous. I keep waiting for something to go wrong. I'll be going by the house tomorrow to take pictures of the paint so stay tuned.

Evie loves food!

I can't get enough of her!

Evie Loves Trey!

Evie Likes Chips

A truck I saw on I-80

Toilet Paper Giggles

This was SO cute!! I was getting ready in the morning and she was laying on the bed watching me but saw a roll of toilet paper and was reaching for it. So, not thinking much about it I gave it to her to buy me some more time and right after I handed it to her she hugged it and just busted out laughing! Not any little laugh either, full on belly laugh. So I grabbed the camera and took this video. Its one of my favorites.

Home Depot Baby

This is just a cute little video I took because Evie was sitting in a cart for the first time. Its uneventful but entertains an addicted mom like me.
