Organizing

For some reason I can't write in paragraphs! Annoying! I will try again later... Alex is teasing me and calling me "Danny Tanner". Recently I have become obsessed with cleaning and organizing. No, I'm not pregnant, I just have the most energy that I've had in the last year- so celebrate and clean! Ha ha. but really, I'm running out of things to organize, which is really neat. Don't get me wrong, I still have PLENTY to keep me busy, but last night Alex and I agreed to clean out the garage today, which made me really happy to have another thing organized and clean, hence the "Danny Tanner" comment. If you don't know what I mean, I'm guessing you didn't grow up around the same time as me. I wanted to share about my closet and thrift stores (Random). Everyone has mixed feelings about thrift stores, great, I just wanted to talk about my newest opinion. I cleaned out my closet and went through all of Alex's things. I mean, ALL. He had about 50 tshirts that he used to wear when he worked construction every day. "Used to" being the key phrase here. So I managed to get rid of as many things as I could and had quite the trunk full to drop off at the good will store. So on the way back from a friends house I went to the one in Stillwater, a couple friends that were following me decided to come with and check it out. I wasn't even planning on going in but decided to since they were stopping too. Now, any store that just has racks and racks I don't do well in. I just have a hard time going through every aisle and looking. But my friend Sam started to find all these cute tops, so guess who had to start looking! I ended up spending $35 dollars on 10 children's books, 3 cardigans, and 4 dressy tops, who would have thought? And most of the things still had the tags on them. Needless to say, I am now open to spending the time and going to the thrift store, because it was definitely worth it! Sometime soon I will post pictures of all my great finds- that could be fun! The neatest part was that I only bought things that I knew I needed and would use. I had just gone through and "purged" a lot in my closet and knew that there were a few key things that I would definitely wear, and only looked for those things,. It worked out really well, and I want to keep up with my closet and keep out as much clutter and unneeded clothing that is never worn, as possible. Maybe I will post a picture of my closet as well... :)

7 Months!

This was the face that she made while mommy did this...

Dont move baby girl!

Very Nice!

Our little baby is seven months old! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by. She is such a fun little girl right now. I thought I would write down a few fun facts about Evelyne:

-She has a cold right now, I think she is teething, but despite that she is still happy!

-Whenever anyone, really anyone, smiles at her and says hello she always smiles back! Only a few times has she actually been scared, but I take great pleasure in seeing my little girl smile at so many people, she loves you no matter what! The faith of a child...

-Her eyes are still big and blue, and we think they are going to stay that way!

-She was born with this little curl at the top of her head, like a cartoon baby, and now it keeps growing and more hairs are growing to make it a bigger curl. My sisters and I all had curly hair as children so maybe she will at least get that from me!

-Who would have ever thought that I would have a blond haired, blue eyed baby?!!

-She is really good at sitting up on her own, she has been doing it for a few months now and it is fun to see her interactive, especially with toys!

-She LOVES to read books and will sit and turn pages for a long time (And of course taste the pages)

-She is very verbal (Surprised?) and laughs and "talks" and sings all the time. There is no sweeter sound to me!

-She still does not like being on her tummy at all, so mommy really has to make a conscious effort every day to make sure that she does

-Which reminds me of this, Evy is still really good at spitting up all the time! After every feeding, even if you don't move her around too much, it happens, everybody we know has been "christened" by Evy's spit up. Once it has happened to you, you are part of her "group" haha.

-She is very social, she has lots of friends her age and grown ups that she talks too, and I'm glad that she is used to being around a lot of different people.

There are so many more things but there is a little glimpse into the life and times of Evy :)

Pretty little piggies!
