HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!!

So today is the day 17 years ago Jacob Dean Evans was born. Oh the time has flew by, but still cute as ever! We hope you have a great birthday Jacob and remember that we love you!

Mommy & Me

So Lizzie and I having been doing Mommy and Me swim lessons and having a super great time. We thought we would only be driving a couple miles down the road to the Regional Center, but they just built a huge aquatic park, and it is about 25 minutes away and that is where the lessons are held. Lizzie has been making friends with other kids in the class. She loves blowing bubbles and going under the water. If you have a baby this is a great class to join. The kids love it, plus you get to spend a little time in the sun. What more could you ask for?

Happy Birthday Kris,David, & Lizzie

Happy Birthday to you....

The Good Samaritian Saves the Day

The Good Samaritan coming to save the day...
getting off the good old steed...
fixing all the wounds...
getting band-aid out to cover the boo-boo's
dropping him off at the Inn to get better...

The Onkto's did FHE this week and the kids had a great time. Marla gave the lesson on being kind and incorporated the story of the Good Samaritan. As Marla told the story the kids acted it out.

The BIG Day FINALLY arrived...

Sunday we headed up the mountain to visit family and celebrate David's birthday. Lizzie loves going up and visiting her cousins and I enjoy the cool weather while David relaxes. Right after dinner we went down to my sister house and played some Mario Kart then came back up to my Mom's house to feed Lizzie. Right before we left to come home it FINALLY happened.... Lizzie said her first word.... DA! Gigi said that she heard Lizzie say Ma too! My girl is getting way to big and so quick.

Here's to you President Hinckley...

David and I have been teaching dance steps to the Beehives and the Deacons from our church for the past 6 months. It has been a LONG road, but the end result turned out really well. There were over 2,700 youth from 12 stakes that performed in the Dance Festival this year. There were multiple dance number performed by the youth ranging from the waltz to the cha-cha. The youth of the Church really practiced hard the past 6 months even with the ups and downs that were presented they did a FABULOUS JOB! Even though I gripped and complained about all day Saturday practices and multiple hours of standing out in the heat I'm glad I was able to help the youth accomplish such a large production. The best part of the show was right before the show was about to start on Friday night some of the leaders from the Jurpua Stake needed a dancer to fill in since one of their youth quit at the last moment. I was able to DANCE BOTH NIGHTS!!! A lot of the youth thought I was 13 years old, and they found it crazy that I was a leader, married, and had a baby, but the dance square was complete and that's all that matters.

Thanks to all my girls and MANDI who put so many hours into this! You were fabulous!! Thanks guys for working so hard!!

Dessert Night Out

M&M Brownie Trifle

Bethany's Ice Cream Cake


So tonight I went over to Bethany's for a dessert party. So I made my famous brownie trifle. When I got to her house there was no one there so I thought I was super early. I found out no one showed up and it was just us. We had a great time eating and chatting while looking through recipes. It was just what I needed a night out where I could get rejuvenated. Thanks for all the fun Beth I had a great time.
I uploaded the links to both recipes since they are so yummy. Just click the title under each picture Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday David!!!

Happy Birthday honey.. you are finally OLD just like me!!! The day finally came and now you can finally realize that you are a 1/4 of a century old. I know.. I know.. I will always be older than you, but at least your dimples will keep you young.

Lizzie and I wanted to have special dinner waiting for David. We made his favorite BBQ chicken pizza, and strawberry banana jello, and than for dessert brownie trifle and Bethany Monroe's ice cream cake!!! What a great birthday 2 dessert in one night.

They found IZZY!!!!

I swear we should learn NOT to let IZZY or Piggy leave our house because they always end up missing. My sister felt horrible that she lost IZZY, the pink seahorse, in Walmart on Saturday. She tried calling, but no one had seen the pink seahorse anywhere. Well we thought she was long gone, but David received a call from Justin saying they found IZZY and she is waiting at Walmart for us to come and claim her. Oh how excited Lizzie will be to have her pink seahorse again, and how nice it will be to have Izzy hold Lizzie's bottle for me.

A couple times through the wash and Izzy will be like new!!!

Thanks Gigi for always coming though and saving the day!!!

Hooray we FINALLY got Internet!!!

Today was the day that will change our lives FOREVER!!!!

WE FINALLY GOT INTERNET

after a month of waiting and long suffering.. our prayers were answered and our Internet service was finally found. Thanks to the Verizon handyman and hours of tech support our service is up and running...

HOORAY!!!!!

Happy Birthday David

David and his new toy
The OLD school TV
It fits just perfectly!!!

So David has been wanting a new TV for a long time, and every time we save up just enough money an emergency happens and the money is gone. So since David's birthday is coming up and we found such an amazing deal... he got his new TV!!! Look at his face he looks like a kid in a candy store. Thanks Mom and Dad for helping pay for it. You made David's day!

Happy Birthday Davey!!!
