Picture Tag

The rules are you have to take ten pictures of the following things. And you have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose. Then you tag five others.

1. The Fridge Our fridge is pretty empty since we are leaving on 2 SUPER FABULOUS VACATIONS within the next 2 weeks...

2. My Closet

I'm a little crazy about my closet. This was the selling point of the house for me. I have always dreamt of a walk in closet, and I FINALLY got one. The rest of the house could have been blah... and I still would have bought the house because of my LOVE for the closet.

3. A Self Portrait

Thanks to the timer on my camera you get this super amazing shot of me after a LONG day working on the house. Thanks to our family for always having great FHE ideas, and coming over to help us with our sprinklers and hanging pictures on our blank walls.. you guys are the BEST!!! I couldn't have asked for a better family because I got the BEST!

4. My Favorite Room

I know I'm crazy but I love this room of the house. It is just so cozy and warm. Plus this is where we spend a huge chunk of our time playing and just hanging out. I love snuggling up on the couch and reading a good book.I can't wait to turn on the fireplace....

Fun story... Today in church they read in our names to our new ward ( when you move building and change wards the Bishopric will read your family names to welcome you to the ward so everyone can put a name with a face) Well when they read Lizzie name they called her

LESLIE VALIANT PARKER. Welcome Home Leslie... Welcome Home!!!

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

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!!
