Videos, 10 months old

Evelyn has been snorting like a pig lately, it's so cute. She does it when she gets really excited, or wants attention (like during sacrament meeting or prayers). Here's a prime example:



Evelyn looks like Cindy Lou from Whoville in this video:

Evelyn loves to play with books as you will see here. Isn't her hair so AWESOME??? :) She looks like a unicorn.

Celebrating Christmas

So I was talking to some of my friends about Christmas and got really excited for some reason. I couldn't figure it out at first, I thought it was because it would be Evelyn's first Christmas or something when I realized that Nathaniel and I haven't really have had a Christmas for the past 2 years!

Why? One might ask??

Well, December of 2006 Nathaniel was finishing his BS in Electrical Engineering on top of having crazy projects like programming a robot to play soccer and giving a graduation speechs; I was studying like mad in Neuro and CV and having clinicals that lasted from 3pm to 1am. Oh yeah we were also getting married on the 28th. Christmas was far from our minds. Heck my first Christmas present to Nathaniel was a bag of Reeses Pieces Cereal that I stole from my brother. It was a last minute kind of thing. It was so pathetic. (Especially if you've ever tried Reeses Pieces Cereal. -ND)

Ha. Ha. Nathaniel.

So then December of 2007, Christmas was just another uncomfortable day before my due date (December 28th). I did manage to get a shirt for Nathaniel though so that was exciting. So we are enthusiastic about this Christmas. Plus Nathaniel's parents are coming!!!! It's going to be so much fun!!! Evelyn is growing up so fast. We are excited to share these times with some of the family.

Our Little Oinker

So Evelyn has discovered how to snort like a pig. Which is sooo cute in fact we have video of it but I'll have to get Nathaniel to put it on for me. It's adorable!

Anyways so Evelyn has found that we laugh when she snorts so she'll do it over and over again it's not a problem except last night we had Natalie over with the missionaries for a discussion and found out that one of the elders (Elder Mayes) was going to transfer and this would be the last visit with him. It was one of those tender moments as we knelt in prayer for the last time. Elder Mayes offered the prayer and not a minute later, Evelyn throws her head back and starts snorting, looking at us with a huge grin on her face for approval. I just shook my head NO. But that little oinker just kept snorting all though the prayer. Of course we laughed afterwards.... it was one of those great M&Ms. (memory makers)


So Cute!



Teeth!

Busy little body

Evelyn is into everything! It's been at times cute and at times so frustrating! It's cute to see her curious nature of everything especially with whatever Mommy is doing, eating or reading but she sure keeps me busy with all of her messes and she isn't even walking yet!!! I 'm sure mothers with multiple children are just chuckling to themselves right now cause I haven't seen messy yet! :)

She is sure dang cute though.She loves to follow me where ever I go. It's like she's my little shadow. She's been saying "mama" even though Nathaniel has been trying to get her to say "dada". :) A few days ago, I cut her hair! It was so hard but I think it looks much better. She's been eating so much and wants to eat whatever we are eating. As you can see here.

Fast food mystery

So Nathaniel and I went to Wendy's last Monday night. It was 9:00 pm. I had just picked up Nathaniel from school. We were both tired and Nathaniel especially was very stressed out with his preparations for his upcoming testing trip in California which he is leaving for this weekend. We both wanted to get a little something from the value menu so we went through the DRIVE THRU and ordered what we wanted at the large TV/ microphone thing then drove up to the window to pay and pick up our order.

Well, when I handed my credit card to the cashier she refused to take it. She then said that the person in front of us had paid for our order. Thinking it was a mistake, I thought that we would either have to pay for theirs or try to catch them and resolve the issue. But then the cashier said that they paid for their order then asked if they could pay for the order of the people behind them, which was us the cashier said yes and they did. How cool is that?

We have no idea who it was but we are thinking it was someone from the ward or someone who noticed we were a little distressed. Either way it was really cool and made us feel so blessed. I was also grateful that we had decided to stick with the value menu!

Leaky pipes and bugs

Woohoo! I just realized I could change the font and font size! That's exciting. Very observant I know.

Well, I just want to give a few pointers to whoever may move to the South... DO NOT LET YOUR LEAKY PIPES LEAK FOR LONG!!!

Nathaniel and I had a leaky kitchen faucet and leaky bathtub that of course we were going to fix after studying all the plumbing manuals and such...Well we waited a little too long and started to find large cockroaches around the house. We had those leaks fixed the next day... it was beyond disgusting. I won't even tell you where they were found. All I can say is that I have been scarred for life. I have seen some pretty gruesome things but seeing those critters in my house takes the taco!

However, ever since Nathaniel has prayed that I wouldn't see one again in our house, I haven't. Thank goodness! I just grateful that Heavenly Father answers prayers that may seem a little silly. Nathaniel hasn't seen any either and it's been two weeks!Yipee!
