FROZEN!!

We are OBSESSED with the movie Frozen! By "we", I mean Evlyn and me. By "obsessed", I mean we know all the songs, and we sing them ALL the time! And, do the actions lol. Evlyn is a little actress!! Here are some videos I have gotten of her singing. The first one is in her room, when she was supposed to be taking a nap lol.



I had a potty training house party last month, and it was a lot of fun! 
We played musical potty chairs lol.
 Here's Evlyn when we got the pullups for the party. She was excited!!
 Here's all the stuff I was given, to give away!

 Sometimes Jared and I like to try new food using Groupon or Livingsocial. This time, we tried Mediterranean food, and it was yummy!!

Evlyn, my little monkey, loves to climb on EVERYTHING!! Here she is rock climbing!!She was so good, but so scary! Randomly, when she was done, she would just let go and expect someone to catch her. Luckily one of us was always right there. But, we kept telling her to tell us before she let go, and she still just let go without saying anything.

The Laurels let us crash their mutual one night, and they were doing facials. Evlyn REALLY wanted to put a mask on, so one of the girls put it on for her. She LOVED it!!
Then, she let Evlyn put one on her! Evlyn also loved that! I wish I had a picture of her face expression though. She was so focused!

Our friends let us borrow their game, ladderball. Evlyn caught on fast, and was pretty good!

Playing in our crazy leaves


Evlyn started taking a little ballet class and she absolutely loves it! And, I love watching. It is soo cute!! Here she is just chillin' after class, on the way home.
 One of her classes. :)




We went to the Gilbert Temple open house, and it was beautiful!! Evlyn was really good, and really enjoyed it. Afterwards, I asked her what she thought of the temple. In case you can't understand the video, she said, "I think it's pretty!" :)

Weddings

This past month, we have been able to go to 2 beautiful weddings. The first was my sister-in-law, Leah. It was fun having all of Evlyn's cousins in town to play with her, and also so many people to hang out and help with wedding stuff. Here is the night of the reception...Evlyn was a little tired.

 Here we are at the reception. You can see Leah and James' slideshow in the background.

 This is the wedding, the next day.
 Here's the beautiful bride and her husband, with all of the nieces and nephews.
 All of Leah's siblings
 Just the brothers.

Then, at the end of August, we got to go to Heber for my cousin's wedding. We went with my dad and grandpa, and had a lot of fun! Heber was beautiful, rainy, and it was fun to be at their lodge. Here's Evlyn just being cute.
 My uncle has Llamas on his property, and here's Evlyn posing in front of them.
 Jared played with Evlyn outside the temple while we waited for the bride and groom to get married. There was only room for immediate family, so we just enjoyed the beautiful weather.
 This beautiful flower heart was one of the decorations at the reception


 This is a chair Jared liked at the lodge.


These are out of order, but here's my dad playing with Evlyn after Annie was sealed in the temple.
 This is a tree house on my uncle's property.
 Just enjoying the beautiful weather before the reception
 This is their lake, and barn in the background.

I love this temple! I went to the open house when I was in Young Women's.
Here's one view of the lodge.
We took some pictures before the sealing.

Annie and her husband rode on horses into the reception. It was very beautiful.

New York, Mommy and daughter

For Enrichment night, our ward had a mommy daughter night for mother's day. It was a lot of fun, and a photographer from our ward took pictures! Here are some of the ones she took. My baby is getting sooo big!!




 Here are some pictures for New York. I have tons more posted on Facebook, but I thought I would just post a few. We had so much fun and it was so cool to see how different people live. And boy do they live in a different world! We had a blast and agreed that we wouldn't want to live there lol.
 Here we are riding a sky tram, which was really neat!

Here's Evlyn posing in front of the HUGE gumball machine
 My cute photogenic baby with beautiful flowers in Central Park.

 Here we are at a crazy candy shop. As you can see, the bench is shaped like a cupcake.
 Central park
 This was in the movie Enchanted! Once again, in Central park.
 Here's one of the MANY subways we took. Evlyn LOVED riding them. She kept saying, "Evlyn ride!"
