A Whole Lot of Nothing

I kept thinking that I wanted to blog about something, but had nothing. Well, these are the nothings I could scrap up from my pictures on my camera.

The other night before bed Derek started reading to Evelyn. I walked in and my heart just melted! I ran and got the camera. This is not an uncommon sight, but for some reason I loved it more than usual.

Since our vacation Evelyn is very enthralled with our pictures and videos of the dolphins and swimming and cousins. Just about every day now we watch a different home video. Here are my two comrades, I'm sure they're watching the dolphins. This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it because Evelyns face looks so drained and serious.

This is what pasta and pudding will do to an eighteen month old. I started to wipe her up and then decided to take a picture. That's why her right hand is clean. My family loves when I'm pregnant, pregnancy equals pudding (and pie, and cookies, and everything else yummy and sweet).

Our basement is unfinished and the bathroom area has these stumps that Evelyn has rightfully declared hers. Whenever we go down there to do something she has to sit down for a minute and enjoy the scenery.

Who Had Fun?

Okay, so on our vacation I had some serious flash backs of when I was little and my family would go somewhere new and exciting. Evelyn was so hyper! It was unbelievable and hysterical. Derek and I had so much fun just watching her. It was fun to know that she knew we were doing something fun. This post is all about how hyper she was all week. Which, by the way, she didn't nap practically at all while we were there.

This is her right before we went to go swimming the night that we arrived.


Here is Evelyn with her cousins at Knotts Berry Farm.

Swimming at Kurtis and Jolenes hotels' pool.

At Huntington Beach.

See what I mean? We had so much fun. I definitely recommend traveling with kids, it was much more fun to have her with us.

Who Had Fun? Part 2

Here are a few pictures of us, that aren't so hyper. Evelyn was fantastic on the plane. She loved being at the airport and seeing all the airplanes. She also loved to take the tray down from the seat in front of her and slam it back up. Thankfully she only did it a couple of times before she listened to me to stop. And the lady in front of us wasn't upset. We had some serious Evelyn fans everywhere we went. She has the playing-hard-to-get thing down pretty good. She plays shy and then does a fantastic sneaky grin.

She here she is on the plane to California. Oh and Gwen is peeking out in the back there, trying to get in the picture.
Here we are at Sea World touching the starfish.

Here is Derek on his favorite ride at Sea World.

Oh wait, this was his favorite.

Have I mentioned that Evelyn loves her cousins, particularly Caleb?

We had so much fun. Special thanks to Kurtis and Jolene for letting us spend breakfast and swimming with them. I'll just say that our hotel wasn't what it was cracked up to be. No pun intended.
