2 Kids

I love my two kids so much. I totally feel like a crazy mom sometimes, but I just love when they love each other. Today I walked by Gwens room and found Evelyn reading to her little sister. Cutest!
This is a follow up to a few previous pictures. This is one of my favorite parts of the day, when I put Ev down for her nap and lay Gweners next to her and sing to them. They both look so happy and it's especially hilarious when Evelyn gets mad when sister is touching her. Oh no! Not that!

My heart was goo after this picture took place on Christmas Eve. I understand that not everyone wants to squish their guts like I do, but seriously. These jammies were a good/bad idea because Evelyn loves them and doesn't want to wear anything else since Christmas.

6 Months

I mean, really. What can I say? Have I already said how smiley she is? How pleasant she is? How mellow she is? How tall she is? How chubby she is? What more can I say besides she looks so stinkin' cute in this dress?

New Favorites

Evelyn has been interested in favorites lately. So when we've been reading I've been pointing out my favorite color, easter egg, shoes, etc. The other day we were driving down the road and stopped at a light. I hear her shout from the backseat, "Mommy, that's my favorite." I turn and look and she's pointing to the Flying J Gas Station.
"That Flying J store is your favorite?" I ask.
"Yep" She says very matter-of-factly.
Scary.

House For Rent

Derek and I have a rental house that just became available. It's located in the Osgood area, and Derek and I lived there before we moved into our current house. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a mud room/laundry room, a one car garage, and a large living room area. The Master Bedroom has a walk -in closet, and the Master Bathroom has a jacuzzi tub. It also has a large back patio and it's located on a big beautiful lot with trees, a garden, flowers, and a awesome raspberry patch (one of the things that I miss the most). We're asking $600/per month plus a $500 deposit.

While we were living there we made a lot of nice improvements. We put in new carpet two years ago(and just had it professionally cleaned). We put in all new energy efficient windows, and covered them with new wood blinds. We also painted the whole house, and put new sinks and hardware in the master bathroom.

The area is beautiful, and the neighbors are awesome.

(Actual house may vary in size and appearance.)

love Love LOVE

Every time I post on my blog all I want to do is write about how much I love someone or something. I'm always stopping myself from typing, 'I love Love LOVE this/him/her!' Well, now that my blog title is changed, it's just fair warning that I'm not going to be stopping myself. So, without further ado, one of my favorite loves:
My mouth is watering right now, and I'm way bummed because I went grocery shopping today, and therefore, won't be going to the grocery store until next Wednesday and by then I will have convinced myself that I shouldn't buy them.
I could eat these exclusively. And if you know me, you know I am not the exclusive type. I mean, I had to be engaged to be exclusive with Derek(actually once he got home from his mission, I was not interested in anyone else and would have vowed exclusivity). Sounds deep, right? Well, it is. I love Love LOVE these!

The Cutest Family That Ever Was

So on Sunday Derek walked out all ready for church and I told him he looked smokin' hot. Well, he told me I looked smokin' hot too. We didn't want to waste our beauty, so we snapped a quick pre-church photo. Then we were off to church to learn about not being prideful or vain.

Gwen 4 Months

Hello! My baby is four months old! It's fantastic. She's still snugly, and very very chubby. She is a very big girl, at 15 lbs and 8 oz. she's in the 90%, and her height is 95%. We make 'em big around here.
Another happy face.
