A Visit to Grammie's and Grandad's

When we were thinking about what to do for Evelyn's birthday, we thought about what she likes to do and where she likes to go and Grammie and Grandad Wyeth's home is definately at the top (Don't worry Seattle family, she LOVES to go there too!). We decided to take her to Grammie's for her birthday weekend and we all had a wonderful time! Like my friend Cherie says "your Mama Wyeth can sure throw a party!" We appreciate so much the party and all the visits! Thankyou so much everyone!
It is a 7 to 17 hour drive to Gilbert from our house depending on circumstances, but this trip was amazing. We didn't have a single tear shed and driving time was only about 7 hours. We left early and zipped our way down. For the first 2 hours before she fell asleep, Evelyn was constantly saying "Grammie, we're coming! Do you see Grammie's house yet?"

This was at her party, Evelyn got so many wonderful gifts! Thankyou!
Contemplating her blessings. I just wanted to show Jen, Grammie, Nellie and Addilyn in the background. Grandad was there too, Evelyn loved to see him there. Thanks for being there everyone!
Is that the wicked witch of the east?
WHAT A CAKE!! Go Grammie! She spent so much time working on this cake even though she wasn't feeling well at all. It turned out darling and dreamy! I don't know if she'll ever have another one like it. This picture was taken before Ben accidently sat on it :) Grammie patched it up though.
After her party, she went down for a nap and said to me "Mom, I'm not 2 1/2 anymore, now I'm 3!"
I think Evelyn's favorite thing was the time she got to spend talking and visiting with everyone, especially Grammie and G.G. She is still telling me about the things that Grammie taught her, she says "Remember Grammie taught me that if we put money in our mouth we get sick and it's yucky."
Hannah really enjoyed her time with Grammie too!
They even napped together! Evelyn is on the giant beanbag and poor Grammie was under the weather.
She even slept in Nellie and Noelle's bed. I'm not sure how they could've slept, but Evelyn was pretty glad!
She was so tired the next 2 days after we came home. Thankyou so much everyone for letting us come and having you throw a party for Evelyn :)









Evelyn Through the Years

Evelyn turned 3 on the 23rd, I thought it would be fun to have just one picture from each birthday. (Does anyone have a smiling picture of Evelyn from this last weekend in AZ?)

We're gonna bowwwwl!

Hannah cheered us all on




We took Evelyn and Hannah bowling for the first time. Hannah had a great time crawling around and Evelyn was quite the bowler and cheerleader! We had to work hard to keep up with her or even ahead of her!




Ben wanted me to make sure that I wrote that Evelyn chose her outfit. We had cute halloween pants, but she insisted on the pink skirt. It was kinda cute with the bowling shoes though!


We all had a great time!

Hippos go Berserk!

The title is from a book by Sandra Boynton that Evelyn likes right now. Here are a few recent pics of the girls...
Hannah has fun living life, even if she's just eating corn!

This was funny, Hannah was chewing on a glitter pen and when Ben saw her he gave her a New Jersey accent and talked for her for a while.

The girls love to talk to who ever may be at the park. Hannah especially goes outside and says "Hi." If Evelyn sees people outside, she'll tell them all about anything and talk for awhile, it's cute.

Giggling Girlies

Evelyn was blowing a play strawberry out of her mouth and it was really making Hannah laugh! We had a good time! Jessica was sick, so that's why she was in her pajamas.

Silly Hannah

Hannah had so much fun chasing this little diamond!

Some October Moments

Here Evelyn and Jocalyn were taking the sunflower seeds out of a sunflower. It was fun!










Sisters! Evelyn and Hannah are having more and more fun together. It's fun to watch. The other day Hannah chased after Evelyn's legs and caught her (Evelyn didn't know she was being chased) and planted a big kiss on her ankles!












I found the girls having a picnic on the floor
















Evelyn came out of her room after a nap wearing this. It's actually Hannah's dress. It was funny!

A Visit from "Attle"


I wasn't paying attention to order when I posted these pics. Oh well, it will be a little jumbled!
We had a visit from my mom and sister who came all the way from Seattle! Once when we were going to Seattle, Evelyn was sure that we were going to "See Attle" She talked as if Attle were an aunt or something :)

We had a great time with my mom and sister. Unfortunately, the morning after they arrived, Evelyn woke up with a nasty stomach bug. Needless to say, we stayed close to home, but we still enjoyed our time together.

Thanks for coming ladies!

When Hannah sits on this chair she says "wheeeeeeeee" in a high pitched voice!
Sick sick sick. Evelyn and her bucket.
She wasn't feeling so well, but was a trooper anyway.

This was the first night, before Evelyn was sick. She loves her Aunt Becky and Grandma Sally!





SICK


We were sick for THREE weeks! At least one of us had a stomach bug during that time. We are finally better, but here is a pic from when we weren't feeling so well.

Little Miss Hannah May
Evelyn Joy... It was such a windy day. Her hair looked so cute before we left the house, but as you can tell, the headband had fallen out a few times and it was hard to put back in in the wind. At least she's happy!

Sisters!
Our good friend Daisy took lots of pictures for us and we loved them! Once I learn how to do it, I will post a link to A & D Photography so you can see more of their great work!
