{Friday Five}

1. Having all of my friends run to the rescue when I was sick earlier this week. Monday morning I was so sick and felt so awful and Sean was catching a flight in just a few short hours. What was I going to do? I was so overwhelmed by all the numerous offers from friends to watch Evette, bring me food, etc. Thank you. I survived, thanks to you, dear friends.

2. Complaining loud and long enough to get the landlord to approve a new big double pane window in our family room.

3. Watching Evette run to get the broom and dustpan to help with the "Eww!!! Bee!!! Eww!!" Or in other words, we got a nasty roach in the house and she wanted to help get rid of it. "Bee" is any sort of "bug." Sean taught her "EWW!" and now she says it about everything = squishes up her face, massive facial expressions, and lets the word drag on and on..."EWWWwwwwwWWWwwwWWWWwww!"

4. Going to the splash pad and to catch up with some friends that we hadn't seen in a while. 

5. Getting a letter addressed to Evette from our favorite Sister Missionary - Caitlan! Besides this being just adorable, it was a great reminder for me, too. This week hasn't been our happiest/healthiest/easiest week and it's great to remember what is actually important

{Date Night}

We really miss Daddy during the week so our date nights are usually Family Date Nights - which are awesome.

This Friday we did Fireside Pies - delicious!

 Seriously how cute are these two?

Also, every waitress had to stop by our table and oooo and ahhhh all over Evette - she's such a little charmer!

{Our Life in Pictures}

Helping Daddy pack for his travels

Sometimes we take girl dates to Chick-fil-a and I make her wear huge pink bows on the top of her head.

This face.

Evette likes to play in the chicken coops at Gecko Hardware

  

These bike riding friends that likes to run errands together

We had a Sunday School party at our house 2 weekends ago

last minute decision trip to the zoo

Sick Baby - throwing up everywhere and 6 loads of laundry later and passing it on to her mom and dad - I think we're finally over it!

Recovering from sickness - this picture cracks me up. Lazy bums.

She likes to play the piano while we sing songs

First incident of coloring where she's not supposed to...... learning how to clean it up after a time out. Growing up is hard.

{BABIES!}

Guess what's in this bush in our backyard?

BABIES! Northern Mocking Bird Babies

 There are three of them!

And they are so precious!

 And Evette loves them to pieces.

 We watched the Momma Bird bring them food and she thought that was great.

Welcome to the world, babies!!
