Jingle mail! Well at first I thought the term is kind of funny.

We needed a house and so we bought one but as it turns out six years ago was a really crappy time to purchase a house.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">So now people like me and Chris, and lots of other people out there have been screwed by the subprime homebuyer and the house and commodity speculators. The Wall Street Jerks who made it all so easy kept what they stole, and then got bailed out!</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">So now people who can make their payment but choose not to send their "jingle mail" back to the lending companies, because it makes financial sense.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Well guess what people we bought our houses and we agreed to pay for them, so if we are financially able to pay for them we should!!

Sweet Jessica goes to preschool three times a week and she loves it. She is meeting many new friends since this year she is at a different school. I love how close it is, 10 minute walk or a 2 minute drive. <span style="font-family:Wingdings;mso-ascii-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings"><span style="mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings">J</span></span> Jessica has learned how to “pump” she can get herself going on the swing now. She is wonderful.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Jessica’s take on preschool, “lately I am doing preschool, and doing everything else in preschool, and we like to do preschool playing, and we learn about everything, and do projects at the yellow table, and that’s it. Then I came back home from school, and that’s it, I’m done.”</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Jack is so cute, sweet, and caring, but at the same time he might kick you or the door for no reason. He loves to snuggle and hold Evelyn. He is my little helper. I can always count on him to run and get a diaper (or 20.) He will give Evelyn her pacifier when she is sad (even if he smushes it into her mouth full force.) He shares his toys, he is so happy when she wakes up in the morning. He runs to greet her, climbs up her crib, leans into her face and intonates with squeals of delight, “good morning sunshine,” Oh I love that boy.</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Evelyn is a rolling, smiling, newly rice cereal eating, big blue eyed sweetie. She is a very good natured baby. Not bragging just very very relieved. When I found out I was pregnant so soon with number three I cried. Should I have admitted that? Well it’s true. She has been such a fun addition to our family, even if my house is a wreck, and the thought of grocery shopping with my three kids makes me want to punch people. She is great, and I feel like I have really gotten to enjoy her baby stages without being too stressed out.</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> I will have to speak for Chris. He is happy to have football back in his life, work is busy, going <st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">Las Vegas</st1:city></st1:place> in October to see a football game with his friends. He really misses <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Utah</st1:place></st1:state> in the fall so I am glad he gets to go have his weekend.</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> I am doing mostly well. I wish was a little more disciplined. I am trying to workout but am struggling with the feeling of tired all the time. I am thinking about joining a group with a personal trainer and nutritionist at the club I go to. I wish I could do it on my own. It kind of makes me feel like a failure to have to pay someone to make me accountable. I am excited to take a small trip to <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Utah</st1:place></st1:state> in November to hang out with my family.</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Last night I got to go see The Phantom of the Opera with my Mom, Dad, Tom, Michelle, and Chris. It was my parents 42 times going. They go all over the country to see the show. I think they would go all over the world if my dad would do long flights. It was awesome. I love it more, the more I see it. Since my parents have gone so often and will only go if they have seats in the front they have made friends with the conductor. He was so gracious to take us on a tour after the show. Some interesting facts he told us about the set. That it’s their own stage that they bring with the production and set it up on top of the theaters stage. It has trap doors where the lights come out of the ground. The Chandelier weighs over a ton! Many theaters had to add reinforcements to accommodate the light safely. For the whole production it takes 25 semi trucks. It was so cool. We got to see a lot of the costumes. Everything is so organized such a well oiled machine. So fun. It was quite the night!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-47663617147448341792009-07-21T19:20:00.000-07:002009-07-21T19:28:53.485-07:00a few more<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_vOXYUNTIN5e6fI_-VilbJJAb8HLZROTcF7Olc1q2bZc4E3ohmcBInXcGCgyBR04pa6wDt_aBYDXnqd_B4WaF0-5NN4mQy-pXFjmJvx6BCHRHKGXsH-d_lyB1_EvTL2-zB_pLHl6Ng3S/s1600-h/DSC05886.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I think we have adjusted to a third child. It helps that Evelyn is the best baby ever. She honestly rarely cries, she is so smiley, she sleeps awesome, she eats awesome. I feel so blessed to have this sweet little spirit. Did I mention she is so stinkin cute? The other kids love her too. I have been pleasantly surprised that Jack has taken so well to her. A little too much at times, I caught him trying to pick Evelyn up today. YIKES. Her Grandpa is completely enamored. I basically just hand her over when I get to my parents. He is so funny with here.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">We just go back from a trip out to <st1:state st="on">Utah</st1:state> for <st1:place st="on">Shari</st1:place>’s wedding. It was so beautiful. <st1:place st="on">Shari</st1:place> and Bryce match quite nicely. They decided to do a ring ceremony since there were quite a few unable to attend the temple. I was too sure about it at first but it was so sweet. Bryce did such a nice job and made all the women cry. He read some excerpts out of his journal from when he was dating <st1:place st="on">Shari</st1:place>. It was tender. <st1:place st="on">Shari</st1:place>’s dress was amazing, she was gorgeous! I don’t really have a picture that does it justice. But I will post one anyway. We had so much fun visiting family. I love watching all the cousins play. We had our downs; it is never easy to travel with three kids. Jack had a really hard time sleeping. He basically did sleep the whole time where in <st1:state st="on"><st1:place st="on">Utah</st1:place></st1:state>. He dislocated his elbow again. I don’t even know how this time. It’s called nursemaids elbow. Chris left the reception early and took him to Dr. Ryan (Chris’ Brother.) I got Pink Eye the next day; thankfully it was mostly cleared up the next day because I was able to get a script a couple hours after my symptoms appeared (thanks Dr. Ryan.) I got locked out of my brother’s house. We all got sick while we were out there and are still trying to get better. I swear we did have a good time though. We are glad to be home. Oh and third times a charm, it took us three rental cars to finally get one that worked right. Next time I will say no thanks to <st1:place st="on">Alamo</st1:place>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">I finally got Evelyn’s birth announcements together. You know 3 months later. I am adding an updated photo to it hehe, good idea Susan. ;)</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Life is pretty good right now. I just really love my family! I wish they could all live in MI. I guess I will have to wait for the eternities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Here are a few pictures from the last few months.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br /></p>EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-70441893003566741562009-04-21T15:07:00.000-07:002009-04-21T18:08:52.605-07:00Miss EvelynWell baby girl X, now know as Evelyn has made her arrival via C-Section on April 15<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span>, 2009. Everything went great, it was a lot better than I thought it would be.<br /><br />The scary…… The initial walk into the OR room by myself (Chris <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">wasn</span>’t allowed to come till after the spinal block.) It was freezing cold, completely lacking in any sort of thing to make one feel comfortable. The nurses were counting cotton swabs, and other tools. It took forever for the anesthesiologist to get there so I just had to sit on the bed and wait with my nerves. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">CRNA</span> was great. She was so nice asking me questions and telling me stories to keep me calm. I’m sure my nerves were evident by my monitored vitals. After the spinal block everything went very quickly. A very weird sensations to hear them announce the first incision, but not be able to feel anything.<br /><br />The annoying…… The pain <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">meds</span> made me nauseous and itchy so they gave me something to stop that, but that wiped me out. I was pretty out of it for the rest of the day. I hate that feeling! I just <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">couldn</span>’t concentrate at all. The most annoying was these leg compression things. They were these leg wraps that would fill up with air and compress your legs from the knee down that went off every minute. I had to wear them for 24 hours! By the next day I wanted to rip them off.<br /><br />The pain <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">wasn</span>’t too bad. I was expecting a lot worse. I really <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">didn</span>’t need much more than Motrin. I was very happy to be able to leave two days later. I am not a fan of post <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">partum</span>, my nurses were super nice but they harass the crap out of you. It seems like a million people are always coming in for something. Plus I always feel like a prisoner. I know I could go walk the floor but that is just awkward, so I never leave the room.<br /><br />Home, the kids have been good. They have been very excited about Evelyn but crazy rambunctious! Jack has been whinier. Chris has been a super dad and husband. My water bottle is always full, the kids dressed and fed. He really has been great.

Sometimes at the beginning it feels like a sacrifice to give up your Saturday but it is so worth it. I get way more than I give up. I do have to admit that my lap top follows me around the house so I did do some multi tasking (cleaning closets and doing ironing.)<br /><br />I am thankful for the uplifting talks that put me back on track. The messages remind me to take the emphasis off me…. what I need and what would make my life better…… to look about, and see what I can do for others. President Monson’s talk at the end of Sunday morning’s session really made me realize I don’t have it bad and that I am extremely blessed. That heavenly father has a plan for each of us. He knows what he is doing and I don’t. Good weekend, even if my kids were little terrors.EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-20024936253473755632009-04-03T13:18:00.000-07:002009-04-03T13:54:20.024-07:00Little Girl.<div><div>I am going to have a long chat with this little girl when she comes out. She has been quite difficult. I was sick for about five months, and now she is stressing me out like no other. She is breech and being stubborn. They have scheduled a c-section for the 15th with some Dr. I have never met. I changed practices at 20 weeks with the decision to have a midwife deliver this baby since my other two were for all intents and purposes easy deliveries. Jokes on me, so now I am at a practice where I have never really met the Dr.’s (7 of them.) I have never gone to my due date. Both Jack and Jessica were born at about 38 weeks. I really hope this one comes early because I really don’t want to wait till four days before I am due! Couldn’t they have some heart since this is not at all how I have planned it? They won’t do the c-section before 39 weeks and they are booked the 13th and 14th. On top of all that I won’t be out of the hospital in time to go to Shari’s bridal shower. We are really excited for her to get here just wish the process wasn’t so difficult!<br /><br />In other news, I finally finished the baby quilt. I hit a wall after the quilting so I asked my mom to do the binding. I am happy with how it turned out. Both Jack and Jessica have one but in different colors.<br /><br />Here are some fun pictures from the last week. Jessica had Jammie day at school. The other ones Jack was playing with the car seat that is out, cleaned, and ready for baby girl Evans. I though I would take a couple pics of the kids.</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320567923951697042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMsBKf2C4xdt6zLIPA9gogHi9_N8_pDp9IpnOYocaC0ZABezzeF-CAa_iFSqTt6zcyxw4kTMcNGxs059iCE7bweX5HEhepUqrR-8xWkUvzfu2w-GINs7Cg41-z7985P6OMAhsMratRCQ66/s400/DSC04934.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif25FK57rtY_q9o8GZ8MOr42pvbNDS85AD2WZZRmjQ_0hzBlV4jap2ZL52gartVHKByjIZ_Irb6IK8fb2rq-izOgIvzQWSjf5N2frE_GGxBV0PNF9HJ3xU_RHBfPbNyDY-EtOgKVizbw4J/s1600-h/DSC04938.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320567934431059538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif25FK57rtY_q9o8GZ8MOr42pvbNDS85AD2WZZRmjQ_0hzBlV4jap2ZL52gartVHKByjIZ_Irb6IK8fb2rq-izOgIvzQWSjf5N2frE_GGxBV0PNF9HJ3xU_RHBfPbNyDY-EtOgKVizbw4J/s400/DSC04938.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320567927643703154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOEteNNfaGOYLy_MtS3CCQKFEhrWq7jf2fKZJ0g8BJCyCBU9d71pItSkrSVD2FI7ocpmchACGFr8_uDbNSHlWEzzGWod4PKBdGpgJcauchfdomaya59z78ndEjCJk6LzkRjcNNylK3ff_/s400/DSC04936.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320567936075739330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwvtRjqEFQp66pwCVXBiLwyvSolpZ8z2RpDja7muCZwq4m4sj2Ro1eB1VSvVd6qv0_AqCS1Q8cGO5dCpA6HFYsKLbmw46FnmYfxVsH58dmRAtIljllF2cqQ0LVAkQJWdHT-OtujoqtnswY/s400/DSC04941.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320567937594844434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJx9jW32NXbu3oItvE4-vOx3I1I6GeqewFEbs3T81uYs61FpaUDCJoi2c4n5pkCzg86mPZV_1BOTnZR1NPk3IjSbGeChOgCOjxBuyl5jgQcNZRnzVy8XLyIoa02j8SSSt5TKndolSVcCEW/s400/DSC04942.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320570438220836274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGSWCD9rGIDi8aJDLvoSVhHceqgS1NPdiiz6scFzvE_vDa3NR7HISm6N4lEjl0hdxZ_fq-OW4NOulx1BVHsmV6b7zvKkg3FW7H4cRTclS2kPvlNa1BhOjeoR-j1CmbYQNRmX3PTwhyYonO/s400/DSC04943.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320568828143687154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjZuipci9-eKT43u7mo9v04KmKA8Dze3r0e9xKRMDD0h56lzeTc_162yJxy1XSm7NUyZsEftGNdG3VU_as6KMMQOu2EdL-s-tBOXlCC6b7IqcUDVl4Z6hSHpxmoC_-YZTnMCMdbt9uiMJV/s400/DSC01005.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320568840638147522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFmPX6mzrahfQ3Uw-3aTBzQ15gJkTPMrFK3SfslrSQ1p2b_5qOBqMallnaxzF7uoG9pKPcC254vsvAR36SS_feRFpvyp041s3-0p1zZCvgd4_S-VpqpBe3P2M8JFL0yjv_5ZTK-81CkoNb/s400/DSC04956.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320568831091854290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqY5kudVsA4tFNWLopZoooO_fp38TegJI09wtWJOB4dh3SctUA2rY3PVsI4OhUoV8IBkroelV36r5mgqg3SVoXn92N-YFWeu6cpP6eAvVOOQpF7sKme94KrqvD5EJVrqKsFMnlrW0jxnHf/s400/DSC02649.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320568836427753010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSTeAP9YHrdSm7VcTD3ARDx0RCAxQdh7Ss6-coSEm_V4B8xwMn8rW7Qm2vPMr4h1hRL_rnh1XvjxsSwQPuGSjAQI8b-_heTV8YXa9c8Kfz9GNYzSEeuMBUsjtyLXIxvQnH1ZDCr1fBU9D/s400/DSC04951.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-15360016364550514942009-03-27T18:57:00.000-07:002009-03-27T19:23:52.293-07:00I know, a new post. :)<a href="http://marshandmist.blogspot.com/2009/03/8-things.html">8 Things</a><br />Here are the rules:<br />1) Post rules on your blog<br />2) Answer the six "8" items<br /><br /><strong>8 Favorite Shows:</strong><br />1.

Basically we are just living life. I can’t believe that in 12 or 13 weeks we will have another little one. I always get the itch to organize about this time. I have begun a mental list of closets that need makeovers, and a basement that needs a visit from Purple Heart. I’m trying to figure out how to make room for the new little one, since selling our home in this economic climate is out of the question.</div><div align="justify">*Have you ever tried to take a nice picture of your kids and got this?

They had a great Christmas, spoiled by grandparents, aunts and uncles with gifts, love, and attention. We really appreciate what everyone did for them. Jessica’s favorites being her camera/art table that hooks into the TV, and her handwriting practice books. Jackson loves all his toys, and loves to spread them around the house (Jessica is pretty guilty too.) I feel like I pick them up all day. His favorites are his big block dump truck, batman blow up punching thing, and his Einstein books. Mom and dad’s (me and Chris) favorite gift was the one they got for themselves. The new wall mounted flat screen with entertainment center bookcases. Chris also convinced me that a Play Station 3 was a better way to go than a blue ray DVD player. I am very happy to have to old space hogging entertainment center gone.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_DArYSnqSlZNv8FdsICfuq6LQ2YYsd11bVK_W8IDK1xI3cWbCJeb4uxnj0qaFj5ifo7lZWi8wIY2t8maRHaWtwwAJrSdAC7omar5vflH8z_G7GgmF8yyqiofSj2ka7Ia7JFTGQLdVBmn/s1600-h/DSC04655.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290227439245195970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj_DArYSnqSlZNv8FdsICfuq6LQ2YYsd11bVK_W8IDK1xI3cWbCJeb4uxnj0qaFj5ifo7lZWi8wIY2t8maRHaWtwwAJrSdAC7omar5vflH8z_G7GgmF8yyqiofSj2ka7Ia7JFTGQLdVBmn/s400/DSC04655.JPG" border="0" /></a> Chris was so so happy to go to New Orleans to see the Sugar Bowl.

I didn’t get sick with Jack and Jessica, but this little girl created a rough five months. I feel like I got cheated out of my second trimester. The one you are suppose to feel good because you aren’t sick anymore. I’m trying to convince Chris that we should go to Florida (sans kids) for a long weekend before we have the baby or at least a spa weekend. Chris if you are reading this nudge, nudge, KICK. </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290219808241479538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7B0IBt8qtAQha8b60-ZiatPUpIGiEHingKZAWuy4V8bGPBswr2OW7N1AIEzfPtEFazo9gKev1V3Zj9-pyU-uNuA0IMIIv769McUhWgYCDmFxrhNzlhHZHC7D72yK6ntgnnwR6CvkpgLa/s400/DSC04679.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290219823002908018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBVlG3AAW0ISTn3PZh2jLasVJ-1UqSwibGCg8_JJWbukigVjbgBC_r8Fsxtsg6XHQelj5y-fndvXT_np5EP018DQYMLXRkK2h85vzD3W8s_FIGG486yqYI3jjmdi5pebWhAJ5Oq2vk3TO5/s400/DSC04688.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290223112267965090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzAIhie2cRbZvpRswC1admtksWvWIhXw8D3iMcGu3qjjodHidk7FWMk6RMF8yfSLdmdl4uJhmWwXqVzyTQHVGCdix2b3JtcMDpS-YiQChG-BDsYgukU3VKAczf006QF4EisAF-yBP9kvjN/s400/DSC04701.JPG" border="0" />Jessica started ballet through parks and rec. I can’t see spending lots of money on classes, and recitals until she decides it is something she wants to do. She does love it. She thinks her ballet slippers are the greatest thing on earth right now. She will school you in memory. Jessica continues to love preschool, and loves to tell me who got in trouble at school. Turns out some kid named DJ acts up quite a bit.</p><p align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290223092716880242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV4YxTiHdNAm79qhjRleZm5x6AbxfQj3dSpscbbujIyF6fMwoqbbGuvlACtJztO2kZG8KbTi3fveWMehjfgg0Opma7h2AUZKf-6vaKa8Z44JmJ3oh8xiav6jEp5GDDk7GF4sUvyI2Nd6wr/s400/DSC04738.JPG" border="0" />Jackson is going through the cutest stage ever. He is so cute when he decides to turn on the charm. I took the pacifier away last week. Jack only used the pacifier for nap time and bed time. He would wake up in the middle of the night 4-5 times wanting us to get his pacifier. It was really annoying plus I wanted to kick the habit before the new baby comes. Chris was in Chicago last week, and I really wanted to surprise him when he got home. I ended up having to tell him because I needed support 45 minutes into crying the first night. We used the Ferber method, and it completely worked for us. You go in at different intervals of time to give verbal encouragement. The first night Jack cried for an hour. Mid cry he fell asleep. He woke up once that night for about 20 minutes of crying and fell back asleep. Since then it has been no cry bed times, very restful nights. The poor kid also has had a nasty cough since October. They recently decided that he has asthma so he is now on a couple different breathing treatments and a granular medicine I can mix into his food. I hope this will help out. </p><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290219832640059314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMtn7lVAxrFlBa-efF9NMzZMlpD9tZos0GnDoiShF7AjOX9hCmlOK9lg0XiHq3itzQW3ylfTGw2EpJZe2QZyIznQEBQK4DpTp4hdrsi_HpYdpMFeoFOI4aKsX4mhSmHLGU0BbTxPOygk0o/s400/DSC04733.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRsKcPz9HXLNTBMt6PtiDhS3Mtl0iBi1MktNn1TiUwTamYUA4b3ADWrz7IOEZ8v08_EQlUXnA7uFfNMDEgMZR1BHgzRLF_02VqygZZQplOdqqcCL8WRrXZX7JaypFeKrFLKjNckdau1vj/s1600-h/DSC04682.JPG"></a></div><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290223098150000674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxtcg5_rWTxcKW42vdXnSKorEpKWqZnc5cWM4igT-5JqiBaZSMBZY1L3RX4Rz3dTEuUGqg3Vwpyaqdt1mTmyJ5QSL3-NYSqcMIrHTQKgh5Ycaff8BlnqJPDauSSg48k0OHyoEfHFso6Q_/s400/DSC04741.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290219806749095762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb11Fk4PX-NvKeL-hQF_trwrAjYvYMOyIGeoSnmaShSRWmBs3qff4hXw_8oL3t0QoI3cNIcLS63o3H5CWxqNLwnRbX-_Q_tmNRThG1NJDyEwXx7SjkTsYbAKmP5X44PdeJvD08IjauGdCC/s400/DSC04626.JPG" border="0" />Wow I think that is it for our family…..

We had a great Halloween. The week was stressful with Dr. Visits, and a couple E.R. visit. All is well and we are happy last week is over! I had so much fun doing the costumes this year. Jessica was Dorothy, and Mr. Jack was a flying monkey. He was the perfect size do the character well. I made Jessica’s and some of Jack’s. I wasn’t intending on making Jack’s but I got an email that his costume wasn’t shipped when it said it was going to be. I needed the costume by Thursday, and I knew there would be no way to get it here in time. I bought a monkey costume (found in last store of four we searched.) I added the hat, vest, and wings. It all came together, and I am quite happy with the results. Here are the pictures. </div><div align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264545649723093058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbgez_4FvcCUBC3v-Wy8ZfAeKtR0IkgWGWY-Je22WJYQymwQVfr9klyz8HzSYCS0Ay32hmENRHkfadfz-XQLW3_5JDB64W78keFJjKvXRhF_oeCLMXeoZ5X9BsXZBLr09t_ii_OQdSl1PS/s400/DSC04435.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264547034680956802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmY-D4S4j_u3HoZKxKiDxdp_Srr5CU2st9ScpqUX2lHPSgaymPPVNYAbkx0TbpnyT9u_O1kjQs52LVUWW8e7xivcbanl2xrVrrDUyD-YUV54pCu6ec2TnVZOmwSqh7RDsXxOxUwV3tw9h/s400/DSC04453.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264547036660317394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6UdLkKZDFd2hbEUO_goLRb_FMbO3jNdlsxFDymDS_MhVKkdUONvrQgVk1OnosNPPPPcxPkTNYoH0Mim3SV-wN1Qb2TnM_zljT1pcV5dqENyK7kkxGpYXHQtA7KtVGCDDIC41bJzPusDl/s400/DSC04456.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9vU42Fh47GKbLlCNajNMa4m_S1-qii3p0HEoKli8Gyv5iLcPZCv50llIYSGDB5bx047hyphenhyphens6xCpEcfKgsWSJjHK5zI9gMjzYAPeAn0T_v13gGYS0XDgd_CIlq_DXX11-vjT_hXcYpVmivF/s1600-h/DSC04460.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264545671545291634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9vU42Fh47GKbLlCNajNMa4m_S1-qii3p0HEoKli8Gyv5iLcPZCv50llIYSGDB5bx047hyphenhyphens6xCpEcfKgsWSJjHK5zI9gMjzYAPeAn0T_v13gGYS0XDgd_CIlq_DXX11-vjT_hXcYpVmivF/s400/DSC04460.JPG" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264545686931801122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHu8s7kBOJwF2cmlt0keyT4iQGhcgsqUxcH7x72vzweMfqNGVyxC351XPps7awEJOb-3bTBW7Vp9JwIn8pgb8B-H41e361-vglkJgZgMIgrx3JR0B2YkxDdcO0_cJaSHRJ27RQ8ymrX7nY/s400/DSC04475.JPG" border="0" /></div>EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-49599279939764906022008-11-03T12:41:00.001-08:002008-11-03T13:07:01.353-08:00Hocking Hills<div align="justify">A little late on the post… A few weeks ago my family (Parents, Tom, Michelle, Chris, Kids, and I) went to Hocking Hills in Ohio it is just south of Columbus. We had so much fun with the family. The kids were great, and Jessica hiked miles and miles like a champ. It is such a surprising gem that you would never think would be in Ohio. We had a great cabin that had many fun things to keep us entertained in the evening. Thank you mom, and dad for taking us. Here are some pictures of the weekend getaway. </div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAZZ0Qs4KrRHWKVZQFN6eXGSYQAZXcBmCPDb0ZQpQUyaJA7LISk2nBP_zBm-FgLkrFIZr7hfQF09hH261ih2bNvXS7Wvylt5AKPEKoPoemnwVk02752-op3-db_CnctnYjVLCNayhxMsjv/s1600-h/DSC04257.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264538401530459378" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAZZ0Qs4KrRHWKVZQFN6eXGSYQAZXcBmCPDb0ZQpQUyaJA7LISk2nBP_zBm-FgLkrFIZr7hfQF09hH261ih2bNvXS7Wvylt5AKPEKoPoemnwVk02752-op3-db_CnctnYjVLCNayhxMsjv/s400/DSC04257.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264538396877362002" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-1ghu6pPvyuOYdzxhJDxCW9U1jC3Uj_xA8IOAu-8p9xkFoq7oE6571mJQOILLDH12i-gBttq2ll6PgjBXPxubnoYSuWbY9zIiJLHYBGDq9sbADelFyzZVJpAIRP2x5aqaEHb4ZJfkdQce/s400/DSC04255.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9MFcI21dcGprdL3BBecc__RDp9DFdooRkg1gvBYenqTHgAYtBZX0gsGlyqXHjuLc2Ag090u3tq_d34JJTowvakyv5UxG1OIJPrEWPYclsyXW34YUYMtx440CUGGdBemVjh1vv15fyTLLq/s1600-h/DSC04333.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264538416662060354" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9MFcI21dcGprdL3BBecc__RDp9DFdooRkg1gvBYenqTHgAYtBZX0gsGlyqXHjuLc2Ag090u3tq_d34JJTowvakyv5UxG1OIJPrEWPYclsyXW34YUYMtx440CUGGdBemVjh1vv15fyTLLq/s400/DSC04333.JPG" border="0" /></a> </p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnUoVYLRRo3CTOVVpDVC9GiDG24YAEWRXj6VOQsQ-4_qrilrHBXHCj_oM4jNDrHTmU9KWJe0v0Lps2a5wyGVePEvu_ckv0C3Cn0lLqFVQxu3s_SgdgetBN6jAf2XQ3Wn8X2iaq88kJpQZ/s1600-h/DSC04252.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264538392273699762" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnUoVYLRRo3CTOVVpDVC9GiDG24YAEWRXj6VOQsQ-4_qrilrHBXHCj_oM4jNDrHTmU9KWJe0v0Lps2a5wyGVePEvu_ckv0C3Cn0lLqFVQxu3s_SgdgetBN6jAf2XQ3Wn8X2iaq88kJpQZ/s400/DSC04252.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8z9C-iQ62gfko14wRapo5MUB5CTU_XbrcFq2ESvXUrpdlvmlE7ayzEOP-PHmCK6WxcOPJZ7b58kUPF27kVtposwdhpvnL1s8sNJkvO-C0BMzdwPPXPW7CTP1T8y1RvMKGZ0XmBzhLwJP/s1600-h/DSC04286.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264538409620944722" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8z9C-iQ62gfko14wRapo5MUB5CTU_XbrcFq2ESvXUrpdlvmlE7ayzEOP-PHmCK6WxcOPJZ7b58kUPF27kVtposwdhpvnL1s8sNJkvO-C0BMzdwPPXPW7CTP1T8y1RvMKGZ0XmBzhLwJP/s400/DSC04286.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2ziENsUBJoQ37bMVaZeKEaJo-znDQtJqAWzzdI3b5HGGATyMByKdQSsRPpbHVnuujEB4n0okKXwZ8WELwYZ7pUA1_2BZAf1k0jM7s7UY-cXBQpjc1XcI_CqaZ9T423BEW4kfO6Y1LKtC/s1600-h/DSC04269.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264540166831913634" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2ziENsUBJoQ37bMVaZeKEaJo-znDQtJqAWzzdI3b5HGGATyMByKdQSsRPpbHVnuujEB4n0okKXwZ8WELwYZ7pUA1_2BZAf1k0jM7s7UY-cXBQpjc1XcI_CqaZ9T423BEW4kfO6Y1LKtC/s400/DSC04269.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLPCZUcQf4Ev6ryqBcD9IYdPpY8KJx0sjm_kDK78JO9Q5hu1WptanpwNiHxqT5cPFtxboXLlR2fpPAFE1VflXCwSCKGbv4-KWX72Olu3kO6sCGen64lqawgnmEKkdUu6QkahZcMXjE7at7/s1600-h/hocking+hills+2008+069.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264540175778187634" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLPCZUcQf4Ev6ryqBcD9IYdPpY8KJx0sjm_kDK78JO9Q5hu1WptanpwNiHxqT5cPFtxboXLlR2fpPAFE1VflXCwSCKGbv4-KWX72Olu3kO6sCGen64lqawgnmEKkdUu6QkahZcMXjE7at7/s400/hocking+hills+2008+069.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p>EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-52770346565444287712008-10-16T23:40:00.000-07:002008-10-16T20:40:29.078-07:00Canadian Thanksgiving<div align="justify">No we aren't Canadians but we love us some! Thank you so much Oshawa Evans and Toronto Smiths for a great weekend. We had a really nice time, and Jessica was really sad to leave.<br /><br />We went to china town and got these great <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">jammies</span> for Jessica. I will have to take some pictures of her in them. They are awesome. She loves going to preschool, it is so fun to see her grow up. One thing that drives me nuts is she never tells me about her day. She always says, “When we get home, after my nap, I don’t remember, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">umm</span> later.” Sometimes I catch her doing things that her teacher would do. I have to say she does a dead on impression.<br /><br />Jack is so happy to be in his own bed. I have been tempted to give him some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Benadryl</span>. He has been getting some molars and that translates to waking up a lot at night. Throwing food, crying, whining…… Man I love that kid but sometimes he tries to make it hard. Plus honestly he poops like no other. If I take the kids to the gym guarantee that they will come get me because he has pooped. It drives me nuts. My mom thinks it’s funny, “done in by poop!” IT’S NOT FUNNY. It really puts a damper on things because we have to do the whole separation thing again. Usually we just go home. He is not talking yet, and he gets really frustrated. He points a lot and grunts or screams. I thought about teaching a couple signs but I worry that the incentive to learn to express himself with words <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">wouldn</span>’t be as strong. Who knows??? Like I said I love this kid but man oh man. Chris is also out of town again and it is the end of the week so that makes things harder.<br /><br />I just finished the book I was reading for book group. Any suggestions? I just want a great don’t want to put it down, lose myself in the book great read. That afterwards I miss it.<br /></div><br /><br /><br />This week in pictures<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxiY2PZ1KmoDUtphphZ35HTjJpQA8_jREt7aWQ6Uni9v_VSRj4-bBwWZ0Lo-pK_dVSidwjjByi-Edfgxiw3gK1IDsi3V6pfFUTypParIBlhwsV5LkmlEKptZr2yfNwylqzNcBtGpcnIJrw/s1600-h/miss+Jessica.jpg"></a><br />Jessica put this little number together.

First on Saturday with some friends, and then with Grammy today! We had a lot of fun. On Saturday we did the festival stuff, and today we picked apples and fall raspberries. Jessica picked a whole pint of raspberries, and Jack almost ate a whole apple! It was such a good night. We love spending time with Grammy!<br /><br />On a little bit of a sad note, I had to take our cat Gizmo or Mr. Mo to the vet today. All will be well he just has to get better. I noticed him making weird noises about a month ago which have turned into cries. Then he started to go out of his box (yuck!!!) Then on Monday I was scrubbing the kitchen floor, and I found blood. Poor cat! I took him in today, and they said he has a really bad bladder infection. They gave him a shot. The tough part is we have to give him medicine (pill form) twice a day. Not an easy task. I joke that I am not an animal lover, but it is sad that he has been in pain. I hope he feels better and that our other cat will stop hissing at him.<br /><br />Chris is doing well. He is really busy with his job. He likes it most of the time so that is good. He is happy to fly to Utah for the Utah/ <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">BYU</span> game. I hope he gets to see Utah beat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">BYU</span> like no other! I am glad he gets to go even though he is going to miss my birthday.

Jessica colored on herself and toys and dolls while she was suppose to be taking a nap....so for her punishment she got all her toys taken away till Friday. I packed everything up in her room (everything) and put it in the storage room in the basement. So since she doesn't have toys she has been coming up with some fun ways to entertain herself. Jack being the little brother has benefited from this. Miss Jessica knows now that you never color on anything but paper. Every time she asks for her toys I ask her where they are. She says, "they're in the basement because I colored on them, I'll never color on my toys again!"<br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNSU-VwdGz1YVu4ceQjFSyz54M2-wwJS9XMyyGioPu4JPyKcIac8CCCNhlrntoNwQcSlJP67fxzxbWGIwwU074mpUw_2jNJLpHjY50juL8r-nUB46IXRBq_-cevuZHXuBuZyNpOEZRDghg/s1600-h/DSC04131.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252377627132061458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNSU-VwdGz1YVu4ceQjFSyz54M2-wwJS9XMyyGioPu4JPyKcIac8CCCNhlrntoNwQcSlJP67fxzxbWGIwwU074mpUw_2jNJLpHjY50juL8r-nUB46IXRBq_-cevuZHXuBuZyNpOEZRDghg/s400/DSC04131.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div align="justify"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEciDmQ0ckzWcpetLgAv4KjUbDzHcZP8rJUBZ0GR5yahehSW9oKhI-YV9UNW34LrSNdb7aumM0_oeeGlMo98tupvKMX-x0FhWKIUisuPlJCdojEiz-1MqjoqP2XbSNw3p_jmpQtzeytwDs/s1600-h/DSC04133.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252377631864498802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEciDmQ0ckzWcpetLgAv4KjUbDzHcZP8rJUBZ0GR5yahehSW9oKhI-YV9UNW34LrSNdb7aumM0_oeeGlMo98tupvKMX-x0FhWKIUisuPlJCdojEiz-1MqjoqP2XbSNw3p_jmpQtzeytwDs/s400/DSC04133.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></p>EVANS in the "D"http://www.blogger.com/profile/12578167627740327648noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762596871744548480.post-74539045030496181002008-09-15T23:55:00.000-07:002008-09-15T20:57:26.496-07:00When Chris is gone I can't sleep.Chris is in Chicago again which translates to me staying up late.
