Evelyn's New Cheesy/Squinty Smile

We can barely get a normal smile out of her these days!  It's all about the reaction, and she knows we crack up when she does it.  I hope to get a good portrait with this cute smile, but I also hope to get one with a normal smile!  Hilarious.

Is this girl lovin' life or what?

4th of July

We had a wonderful long weekend in Silverthorne.  Evelyn loved the parade and fireworks.  Actually she didn't think much about the parade was that impressive.  Except the Dum Dum that she got to taste (picture below).

Pointing at fireworks with Daddy.

Smiling at the bright sky.

This was  her first reaction as we were still walking to our spot and they started.  I can't believe she was still awake for it (note her pj's) but I am so glad!  She wasn't scared at all and enjoyed the whole show.

Baby Junk Food

First Dum Dum.  Do not try taking it away or she will throw a tantrum.

First popsicle.  Props to me, I made my own out of 100% juice so this actually isn't junk food.

Trying to salvage some high fructose corn syrup from the bottom of Dad's otter pop:)

Dryer Girl

Evelyn is fascinated with the dryer.  For the past couple months she will pull herself up whenever it is open and proceed to pull all of the contents out one by one.  When I am folding clothes this is helpful and adorable.  When I am switching wet clothes into the dryer is is still adorable but not at all helpful.  One night I decided to make her day and let her sit inside for a minute.

Washington Cousins

While we were in Utah Evelyn got a rare chance to play with her cousins!  They live in Washington, and only 3 out of the 8 were there.  Joseph and Noelle were so fun to follow around and play with.  Spencer was there too but he was only 11 days old.  Evelyn wanted to give him loves and squeezes though.

Utah

Sleeping on her Uncle Dallin in Seagull book.  She drooled in his hair and he loved every minute of it :)

Trying on Grandma's reading glasses.

She learned to blow kisses while we were there.  Here's a smack.

Cute Munchin' Pictures

This is in 2nd cousin Kaia's cool high chair that we borrowed.

Sweet messy face at home back in June.

Riding Trigger

My little brother Preston got this horse for Christmas when he was little and named him that. Evelyn loves to ride him when we are at their house, she bounces up at down by herself and gets all excited, and then she suddenly stops and leans around to try and look at his face.  It is so cute!  This was on Daddy's birthday when Grandma and Grandpa babysat.
