Private

So, I've decided I want to make this blog private. Leave me your email if you're interested in reading my blog still, and I'll send you an invite. Thanks!

update, Idaho part 2

Well, Evlyn is now 3.5 months! And, she's getting so big! She smiles, laughs, and coos more, eats more, and can almost roll over. But, she does scoot herself in circles if you lay her on her back, so I've had to be more careful where I lay her.

Tummy time on Daddy.

 I love that she is doing tummy time a little more now and liking it a little better. She still isn't too fond of it yet. :P

 And, she loves to grab anything and stick it in her mouth. Here's a stuffed animal/blanket she got for her baby shower.

And here's a part of this play mat that she got in her mouth lol.

 Haha! I love this expression! "Mommy! Get that camera out of my face!"

 Last weekend, Laurice and Mary came by to visit! She played a little for them.

On this day, 2 Saturdays ago, we had one last date before Jared starts another semester of school. We went to Sunsplash, where I used to work, and it was sooo much fun! My mom watched Evlyn for 2 hours for us, and we went down lots of slides. I even saw someone I worked with 3 years ago! And he remembered me! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures. :(

Jared had these legos as a child and has been missing them. :P So, his parents brought them by. Look at how many there are!!! It's insane! I've never seen so many, except at Legoland!! All of those buckets are full too!

 And, here we are at part 2 of Idaho. I got to ride my grandma's horse!

And so did Evlyn! Well, not really. We just got a picture of me holding her while the horse was standing still.

Doesn't she look thrilled? haha

We went on a river rafting trip, and here we are on the bus, taking us to the river.

 Here's Evlyn sleeping on the boat.

 Sean and Josh had to get out to pull and push a few times, b/c the water level was too low and we kept getting stuck.

 Now she's awake.

 This is back at the place we were staying, and we were playing with the babies. Brixton was enjoying this more than Evlyn.

 Oh, back on the boat again. lol

 Here, we were playing hide-and-seek with Mylee. I decided to hide in Sean's suit jacket and Paige's hat that were hanging on this coat rack. Mylee saw my red pj pants.

 And here's us at one of the family reunion dinners. The weather was sooo beautiful!!

Aimee took most of these pictures b/c I was too lazy. Sad, I know. So, when she sends me more I'll put up part 3 of our trip to Idaho.

Rock Climbing, Idaho part 1

I keep forgetting that this blogger puts my pictures on backwards. So, this post is backwards. But, here's my little sweetheart! She really enjoys her bouncer!

 This is on the plane back home from Idaho. I had Jared with me this time, which I loved! I went up with Evlyn on Monday, and luckily my dad was with us to help. The rest of my family went up the week before, and Jared came up on Friday. This was the first time we have ever spent one night apart, and we spent 4 nights and 5 days apart! It was a little hard, but luckily we have cell phones!

 Evlyn playing with her daddy on the plane!! She was really good on both plane rides! I was so proud of my little girl!

 Evlyn and daddy!

 Here's us back at BYU-Idaho! On Sunday, we walked around campus and looked at all the new structures and improvements they've done! Our apartment was completely demolished!! :( We really enjoyed walking around and remembering different things at this wonderful school and place we fell in love! This is in front of the stadium. Do you see that color?? That's called green grass! Most Arizonians don't know what that is. lol

 And we got to have a reunion with 3 of my roomies! Christiana, Briahna, and Elena! And, of course, the babies. :) It was fun! I can't believe it's been a whole year!

 Here's Elena's boy stroking Evlyn's head. :) Cute!

 And, a reunion with some awesome friends of ours, Russel and Melinda Smith. We love to play Rook with them and had Sunday dinners often with them. They let us stay Saturday night at their new beautiful house, and we got to see their new baby! He's a month older than Evlyn. haha They're the same size!

 Pulling off her hairband. You see that beautiful bracelet?! The Smiths gave her that as a gift!

 All bundled up! It gets cold at night and Evlyn's not used to that at all!

 Her first time swinging, and Daddy got to swing with her!

 My family memebers took turns playing with Evlyn, especially when Jared was at home in AZ. Here's Paige with sleeping Evlyn.

 And of course, she had to prove that her little onesie was true! I love her smiles!

 Plaing with Grandma!

 More smiles. :)

 Cousins Mylee and Landon held her a lot.

 And, Great-Grandma Pearson got to hold her a little.

This is on the plane on the way to Idaho. Evlyn's smiling at Grandpa Worsley.

 And eating her hand. haha.

 And looking out the window!

 Daddy exercising with Evlyn! I guess we're training her young to stay in shape!

 Here's Evlyn's new baby cousin, Margo. Jared's sister, Kiana had her baby and now Evlyn has a cousin to play with when they're a little older! They're about 2.5 months apart.

 Before the trip to Idaho, Jared planned a date! And, we went rock climbing! It was so much fun! Here's me bouldering.

 Family picture! Evlyn was pretty good! We took turns bouldering and holding her. Then, when she was sleeping or content, we put her in her carseat next to the belayer (sp??) and took turns rock climbing.

 Us showing our muscles! (Or lack of lol)

Jared bouldering.

So, there's that! I'll have more pictures about Idaho later!

Fort, Break from school!

First of all, Jared finished another semester! yay! Now we get him for about 4-5 weeks before his next one starts! Another good thing is that Evlyn is smiling and laughing a lot more now, and cooing. I love it! I can't help but smile and laugh when she does! Here's a few pics I've gotten of it.

So cute! I wish my camera was quicker or else I'd have more.

So, I bought some peaches because they were really cheap (4lbs./$1). I had to take a picture of this one b/c it's the hugest peach I've ever seen!

 And here's it next to a normal sized one. Crazy, huh?

 Anyway, this weekend we decided to build a fort with our couches. And it was a little stuffy so Jared put a fan at the opening. I wanted to play some board games in there but it was a little dark. But, Evlyn Jared and I hung out a little in it.

 That's a foam pad inside. It was pretty comfy.

Here's my visiting teaching companion, Miki. She's so good with babies and loves to play with them! She got Evlyn to smile and talk to her, and put her to sleep.

Here's a new thing I like to do with Evlyn to sneak in some extra tummy time. I lay on my back and put her on my shins. She stretches, arches her back, and makes funny faces and noises. Sometimes she smiles and plays a little b4 she gets sick of it.

I love this picture! Last Sunday we went to Mesa for my friend, Barbara's, farewell talk. Then we hung out with my family for a while. Here's Evlyn all dressed up and playing with her grandpa.

Jared's parents gave us this jumper, and Evlyn's strong enough to be in it now! She doesn't jump. Mostly, she stands and looks around, and sucks on whatever she can reach lol.

Now for some pictures of tummy time.

 She can almost roll over!

haha! I love this little face and her expressions! This one is like she's saying, "yeah, I'm pretty cool!"
Well, that's the update for now! Next week we'll be in Idaho for a family reunion!
