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.

I'm still here

This summer has been a little crazy with having a new baby and third child in the house and everything else that goes on during the summer I haven't had much time to sit at the computer and update the blog. Unfortunately I am unable to find my thingamajig to hook up my camera to the computer to load my pics so I am not able to post the fun pictures I have of everything we have been doing this summer. I tried just putting my memory card into the lab top but it requires me to format it and if I do that I will loose all my pictures. I don't think I want to do that. So as soon as I can I will get my pictures posted so you can see how beautiful Evie is getting and see all the exciting things that we have been up to these past few months.
