Halloween Night

Okay so this is a flashback to october, but john wanted me to post it. Mary still a bunny, evyn still a duck, but i had a lightning bolt coming out of my back and was a person struck by lightning. I find Halloween better when no on e actaully recognizes you....oooh scary (mary's comments). I also have been thinking that the cutesy stuff is a bit pansy, so a little bit freaky it was, and my primary kids absolutley loved it.

the little blue dress

When I turned 1 my mom made me a wonderful light blue dress (still my favorite color today). When Mary turned 1 I had her where it to church, but she was alot taller than I was and we didn't want to frighten people into thinking there was a fast approaching flood, so that was that. Now Evyn is 1 (okay almost 14 months) but she is a little bean so I had her wear the dress this week to church, she looked lovely. I don't have a picture of all of us, but i thought i'd post what i have.

Beautiful Park

Despite my horrid lack of picture taking the girls and i go to amazing places almost every week. But I was at my friend Ali's house and since she takes pictures everywhere I was able to poach a few from this past spring. This is a place known as the Peacock Park (you'll see why) we got to run in the grass play by the pond and best of all, watch the Peacocks strut their stuff ( it was mating season). That is one of my loves of Las Vegas, there are so many amazing things to see and you can go almost all year long.

Ode to Rachel

So this post is completely dedicated to my roomate Rachel. She just turned 31 and as I was reading her ever-amazing blog it made me very nostalgic and I just wanted her to know how many wonderful ways she has impacted my life, through the way I think, the friends she brought in, the ever creepy same bra siz and most of all just herself. She was always so fun, so loving and compassionate I could never have asked for a better roomate who loved me despite the mess. Happy Birthday Rachel (I had wanted to include pictures of others we knew, but as you can see I have quite a few pictures so I thought I'd start with these:

Quack, Quack

I am going to try to download more of these, but our little duck wants to hold the camera more than look at it. Evyn always amazes me, she just started walking about a month ago and at our church Halloween party she would run to John over and over again. It just shows that if you really practice something and want it it doesn't even take that long to get a new skill. I love you miss Evyn.
