Happy 5 month birthday Evie!!!

This past month Evie learned how to roll over tummy to back and back to tummy. She is pretty proud of herself. She has also found her toes and loves it when I take her socks and pants off so she can play with them easily.

She loves to play in her Saucer. She sucks on every toy and when she is done with one she throws it on the floor and moves onto the next. When she is all done her shirt is soaked in her drool and she also has puddles of drool on her saucer. It's wonderful!

Evie loves going to her brothers' soccer games. I think mostly she loves being outside. But she will watch the kids on the soccer field and watch all the parents who are there as well. She has a grand old time.

I of course love to dress Evie up with cute little bows and flowers. When I find an outfit that I love I end up taking 5 to 10 photos of her in that outfit. She doesn't seem to mind, I think she even likes it a little.

Evie also loves to suck on her lower lip. I think it is adorable. She is such a sweetheart.

Hyrum loves his little sister. Here he is snuggling with her on the floor. Aren't they cute!

Of course he has to give her lots of hugs and kisses.
There she is sucking on her lower lip again.

Sometimes I'm smart enough to get a bib on her when she is in her saucer.

Avery Anthony Ellerd is Evie's favorite cousin. Mostly because he is only 3 1/2 weeks younger than her and she doesn't really get to play with any of her other cousins because she can't keep up with them.

We like to lay them next to each other and see how they do. They'll look at each other and try to grab the others face or hands or shirt or something. It's fun.

I got her laughing in this picture. I can't remember what it was that she thought was so funny. I love this little girl.

This is the picture I took this morning. 5 months old. Sitting up on her own. What a big girl. She is growing up so fast I can hardly keep up. She's already trying to crawl. She'll try to push herself forward with her toes only she doesn't really know what to do with her hands. She ends up barely sliding with her arms at her side and her face in the carpet. It's pretty cute. Next time I'll have to get a picture.

Seaside Aug. 2009

The boys had a great time in the house we rented with our friends.

We had a bonfire on the beach each night.

Hyrum loves playing in the sand.

Evie was happy as long has she had something to suck on.

Noah being goofy.

The men coming back in after playing some football.

There must have been something interesting on that computer screen.

What I have no idea! :-)

Don't you just love Noah's banana mustache.

Arah, Sarah and me.

Cody and Noah playing in the sand.

The proud cooks getting their picture taken in front of the tasty feast they prepared.

What a handsome guy. Look how much his kids love him.

A not so happy Evie. She is still adorable.

That's better.

Walking on the beach at night. Chris, Evie, me, Arah and Sarah.

Keeping warm by the fire.

Here is the whole gang at the end of our fabulous trip right before we jumped in our cars to head home. We had a great time and loved every minute of it. Hanging out at the beach never gets old.

Evie's Baby Blessing

Evelyn Rae Farman

Born May 1, 2009

Blessed Aug. 16, 2009

It took us a little while, but we finally blessed Evie last month. Chris did the blessing and he did a wonderful job. My brother Joel and brother-in-laws Adam and Bob were in the circle along with Chris's dad Mark and our friends Matt Kunz and Clayton Hull.

My mom, brother Ryan, sister Melody, her husband Adam and their baby Avery, my brother Joel, his wife Amber and my Grandma McCombs came from my side of the family.

Chris's sister Cindy and her husband Bob came but left right after, Chris's dad Mark and mother Virginia, brother Dave and his son Jacob.

Some of the guys who were in the circle. Joel, Clayton, Adam and Grandpa Farman.

It was a beautiful blessing and even though you can hardly see Evie, she looked beautiful in her blessing dress. Hyrum and Noah kept telling be how beautiful she looked in it.

3 months

Hyrum and Noah still love having their little sister around. Noah especially loves having her around. They are so sweet with her and love to help out.

Noah is always wanting to hold her or help feed her or help burp her. It really is very sweet.

Evie is a mostly happy baby girl. She loves it when you talk to her, but not baby talk. Real talk. You can just tell her about your day and she will smile and laugh and tell you about her day right back.

She is becoming more and more playful everyday. She of course loves to suck on everything.

Her favorite thing to do is hang out in her disc. She likes to be able to look all around. Plus her brothers pay more attention to her when she is in it. They will dance and make funny faces and fake fall down and fake hit themselves to try and get her to smile and laugh at them.

Hyrum is a proud big brother. He is a very good helper. Whenever Evie is upset he doesn't hesitate to tell me why he thinks she is not happy and what I should do to help her.

Since Hyrum has started school Evie and Noah get to spend a lot more time with just the two of them. In the morning after Hyrum has left they like to lay on the floor together and watch some cartoons.

Don't worry I haven't forgotten about daddy. He loves to snuggle with Evie. Much more than he ever did with the boys. I think Evie will be daddy's little princess.

Noah wanted to make sure Evie had some toys to play with here. He is such a great big brother.

Happy girl! Don't you love her boots. I do!

Man she is cute! Our little angel girl!

Hyrum's first day of !st grade!!

I took Hyrum to get his hair cut last month and he said he wanted to be able to do a Mohawk with his hair. Of course I would like to make him look handsome once in awhile too so we decide to meet in the middle. I think it worked out. So on the first day of school of course we had to do his hair in a Mohawk. He looked pretty good if I don't say so myself.

Hyrum couldn't wait to get to school so he could play on the playground. I think that is his favorite part. Just like his dad! :-)

I asked him what grade he was going into and this is what I got. He looks like he is trying to dance. I love it!

He has been in school for a week now and everything is going good so far. He rides the bus to and from school and luckily the bus stop is right at the corner by our house. Works out really well for me! He likes his new teacher and says he only has a few of his friends from last year in his class with him this year. But that's okay because he says he'll just make more friends. Good thing he told me that because I was really worried! :-)

Baby Pics

Arah came over about a month ago and got some photos of Evelyn. She are a few. Evie was a little cranky so we didn't get as many photos as we would have liked, but the ones we did get turned out pretty well. Isn't she so beautiful. I just love my little angel.
