Project 365 - Day 2 & 3

I love to take pictures, but it's really hard to remember to bring my camera with!!

Evalyn got a "new" car from cousin Ellie, she loves it!  We were getting ready to go have lunch with Daddy and she got in her car... she did NOT want to get out.


We have these weird things growing in our backyard... anyone seen one of these before??  I need to get rid of them... worried they may be poisonous or something.  Yuck!

Project 365 - Day 1

I have decided to do the "Project 365".  I started today with taking some pictures of Evalyn @ Nurenberg Gardens in Minnetonka.  It will be fun to see what pictures I end up taking over the next 365 days.  It may make me blog more, may not, who knows :)

Cute one from today, it was too sunny... but fun anyway. 

Evalyn is 18 months!

Evalyn is 18 months old!  It is amazing how much she is growing!  She has more to say everyday.  She brings us so much joy!  I took some fun pictures of her today, love the dress and pigtails!

Recent Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of the kiddos!

Connor, Chris and Evalyn. Evalyn is helping Daddy drive the boat.

Bear is hoping she will drop some food!

So sweet!!

Connor with is "white boy" 'fro!

Summer going by too fast!

I can't believe that it is mid July already! Summer has been lots of fun... heading to the cabin, playing in the water, going to see my sisters and their girls. We have started going to the library... Evalyn likes it, but right now she really likes to see all the people and touch as many books as possible!

Evalyn is getting so big! She is not a baby anymore... she is a full blown toddler with the personality to suit! She has definitely figured out how to throw diva size tantrums... mommy just ignores her. She is still very vocal, more words are mixing in to the babble every day!

Evalyn's words:
Mommy
Daddy
Gran Pa
Gran Ma
Outside
Shoe
Juice
Milk
No
Please
Hi
Bye bye
Chalk
Ta Da!
So Big

I am amazed at what she understands. I can ask her to do things and she knows what I am asking... so great! She loves to dance, so grooves every time music comes on. I will have to post a video of that. It's awesome! She continues to be very loving and sweet. She really loves mommy a lot, and explodes with joy when daddy comes home from work. Often standing at the top of the stairs waiting for Chris to walk in the door just so she can say "Hi" or "DADDY"!

Connor has been busy helping Uncle Jim build their new garage. Earning money to buy a car... because he turns 15!!!! this fall. A little scary that we are going to have a driving teenager in November. He's been hanging out with friends, playing his guitar and doing Par Kor (spell). You will need to ask him about the last part.

Video Games

Connor and his "friend" Emily were playing video games one afternoon.  Evalyn thought she should try it too!


She actually did pretty good... for a 13 month old!  She could get the car to move forward, very very slowly!
