Nephi has TWO teeth!

Nephi had a fever for about three days last week which everyone thought maybe he was getting teeth except me because I am in denial for two reasons - I am still nursing and teeth are scary and Clairana didnt get teeth till she was a year old. Well they have arrived, last night Grandma Brigham found them on the bottom and of course two at the same time.

Our little man is growing up!

Serious Look

Nephi has the straightest smile I have ever seen, I hope it doesnt change.

Rainbow - with the Sun

We were on our way home from Lowes yesterday to get supplies for our new swingset, when we saw a man standing the middle of the parking lot taking a picture of the sun - dork.....

until we looked up too!

I took a picture but it was not as beautiful as the one my cousin (professional photographer) MTW Photography took - so Thanks Madi I stole it.

Beautiful!

Hello .... Hello??!!

 Sibling Love - Clairana was instructing Nephi on how to push the buttons on the toy.

 She decided that she would like to try on her new boots.

And then she decided it was great to us the potty chair as a lift to see her beautiful face in the mirror.

More Park Time

Now that Mr. Evans has a fabulous job where he actually comes home after nine hours of work, we get to enjoy walks and the park in the evening.

This is really the best time to go for Nephi because it is a little cooler. Here we are just enjoying the evening.

Just waiting.....

Sound asleep so I go downstairs to check on Clair and get her something to eat.....

I come back up and this is him just patiently waiting on his mama to come get him. How adorable!

Just Laying Out by the Pool....

Painting

Every day when Nephi goes down for a nap, I try and do something new and special for just Clair well...today I thought we could paint. 

She was doing so well that I thought I could run to the bathroom and this is what happened. 

I guess I should be grateful that she decided to take her shirt off at least.

Davis Family

Today, we put to rest a woman who has brought extreme joy into our family. 

Kelly has given our family two precious little ones. Since moving back to Indiana we have been given great times to catch up with family that I am extremely grateful for. 

I have had the chance to get to know Kelly as we were able to relate in having two young children and how busy life can be sometimes. 

We will miss her dearly. 

Here is a previous post about when we first got to introduce the little ones since being home.

Clairana's 2nd Birthday

This past weekend was Ms. Clairana's birthday party!

 Aunt Woody was sweet enough to allow us to have the party at her house. 

We did a carnival theme including a bounce house, popcorn machine, and snow cones. 

The weather was perfect - in the 70s with a little breeze. We had a FABULOUS turn out and got to spend lots of time with friends and family. Thank you everyone the day was perfect!

Maybe she will be musically inclined....

Pappy is hoping for a buddy!
