The last 5 months

Isaiah in his baseball uniform. He was really excited to play this year.




Isaiah at second base.




I got to fly to seattle in feb to see Erin, Josh, and Eliza. We had a great time and Ailey and Eliza got to do some bonding.



The Evans boys got to take a trip out to Utah to see one of their best buds get married. Congrats Clay! From left to right: Sugar, Clay, David, Adam, and Chad.



More cousin bonding time with Ailey. This is Chloe and Ailey. Chloe was so cute with her the whole time she came to visit. She was the perfect babysitter! She would just take Ailey and I wouldn't here a thing for hours. Thanks Chloe! Can't wait to see you in June.



Isaiah and his best friend Bryson. They had alot of fun doing some face painting this day. Two dragons on Isaiah's face and some sort of fire mask on Bryson's.



Ailey's first ride on the Quad. She actually like it!




Isaiah on Opening day for baseball. He decided he wanted to climb the rock wall which he had never done before. He climbed it like a pro the first time and made it all the way to the top! This kid never stops amazing me.



Maddox and Ailey have been two peas in a pod while Isaiah is gone to school. They watch cartoons together or run errands with me.

Our little family

HOLY CRAP! Sorry it has taken so long to get something posted. We have been doing a lot these past few months but here is a little ditty and some pictures to go with it.




Maddox (4) Isaiah (5) and Ailey (6 months) in this post now she is almost 9 months. Our family




This was our newest lamb at the time, our little farming family on the trampoline





Babe on the left and Zuko on the right, she is going to be having piglets here in the next few months. Let me know who is ready for the best pork ever.





Here are a few of our chickens. We have 36 chickens and 2 turkeys. We used to have them in with the pigs but all 25 last year got eaten by our pigs, no wonder why our pork tasted like chicken.




Our newest addition to the farm, little lamb male born 4-4-2009 he and the mom are doing really well.



Here is our little lamb with my smoking hot prego wife. Number 4 here we come.

Babysitter age 5

Incident #1. (In the car driving) Me: "Isaiah, can you give Ailey her pacifier?" Isaiah: "Sure mom" Crying that doesn't stop. Me: "Isaiah, can you please give her her pacifier?" Isaiah: "Mommmm I gave it to her and she doesn't want it. I'm letting her cry for a minute and then I'll try it again!" Me: "Did you try rocking her?" Isaiah: "Yes mom she doesn't want to just wait a minute and I'll try the pacifier again."
Incident #2. I was in need of a shower last week. Ailey was fast asleep in her crib and Isaiah was busy watching cartoons I saw my opportunity but had reservations leaving Ailey in her crib so I decided to have a talk with Isaiah. I approached him and told him I was getting in the shower and if he heard her crying he should come and get me. Ten minutes into my shower Isaiah comes in and tells me Ailey is crying. Can you go to her and put her pacifier in her mouth I asked. He told me he would. Ten minutes later I was done with my shower and hadn't heard from him. I assumed the pacifier worked but when I walked into my bedroom I saw that Isaiah had taken Ailey out of her crib and put her on my bed and was reading her books. She was giggling and he was having a great time.
Incident #3. Thursday 2:00 Grant (my brother in law) was getting ready to board the bus for an away game of basketball. He had forgotten his warm-up shirt and a sweatshirt and needed me to bring them to him. Ailey was sound asleep in her crib and Isaiah was playing Mario Cart on the Wii. Now just to preface this, the high school is literally 2 minutes away. I approached Isaiah. "Isaiah, could you watch Ailey while I run to the school and take a few things to Grant?"
"Who's here mom?"
"No one just you."
"Just me?"
"yeah, do you think you could do it?"
"yeah, I can do it."
So I taught him how to call me on my cell phone and quickly ran to the high school. I was gone a total of 5 minutes and when I returned it was exactly as i left it. Isaiah was playing games and Ailey was asleep in her crib.
6:37pm that very night my cell phone rings and i answer,
"Hello?"
"Hi mom"
"Hi Isaiah"
"What are you doing?"
"Sitting on the couch watching TV with dad what are you doing?"
"Playing with Maddox. Can you get me a drink?"

Halloween

The boys wanted to be Vampires this year which was fine by me! Super easy costume. Isaiah and Maddox refused to wear blood on their face saying it was disgusting but Adam obliged for the picture. Ailey was a ballerina and a dang cute one if I do say so myself. This year we let the kids draw their own faces on the pumpkins and then we carved them and I have to say they turned out super cute! I wish I had taken a picture of the final product. We went Truck or Treating at the church and then back home for scones (a family tradition) it was a great night!

Isaiah's Birthday

I'm finally catching up on some of the events in October! Isaiah is 1 year older and I can't believe how fast the time is flying! Isaiah is our little pistol! He has enough energy to run our entire house. He is outgoing and loves to talk with others. It is not uncommon for him to shout HI out his window as we are driving by the high school cross country team on our way home. We are the Cub Scout Den leaders in our ward and Isaiah can't wait to be a boy scout. He loves comming to den meetings and hanging out with the boys. He is also very popular at school with the girls. Everyday when I pick him up he has at least 2 girls chasing him around the playground. When he came home last week and said Mom, "Madison wants to kiss me" we had to have a serious talk about how we only kiss our mom and no other girls. He is so independent and a freak of nature when it comes to coordination and athletic ability. He is a great older brother and has the sweetest spirit. We love you Isaiah Happy Birthday!
Birthday day went like this - Chuck E Cheeses, presents, cake. His favorite present was the bunny rabbits one boy and one girl and yes the girl is pregnant so we will have little bunnies soon. Now that makes 2 rabbits, 2 sheep, 3 pigs, 19 chickens, a cat, a dog, and lots of love on the Evans farm. Next to come is 2 cows, a turtle, and some fish if Isaiah gets his way and as of this year he wants to be a farmer when he grows up.

My Hubby

I just wanted to take a minute and thank my husband for all he does. I'm so lucky to have such a great person in my life. Adam has so many talents, skills, and knowledge I thought I would just write about some of my favorite. 1. FATHER Adam is a great dad. He always makes time for the kids even when he doesn't have much of it. He loves teaching them and is a great example. 2. PROVIDER Adam has worked so hard to finish school and get to the place we are now in our lives. All of our marriage up to this point has been spent in school and he has been so diligent. He started his own chiropractic office and is also an associate at another office and is head coach of the J.V. basketball team at the high school. His plate is so full but he doesn't complain he has a good attitude and is greatful for all the opportunities we have. 3. HUSBAND I'm so lucky to have a husband that does all the above mentioned but when he comes home after a long day and gives me a hug and takes the kids to give them a bath or take them down to feed the animals or let them pile on top of him for a good wrestling session I'm reminded of how much I love him. I love you Adam.

Ailey Mae

Here are so more pics of our little girl. Ailey is so much fun and such a sweetheart. Her brothers adore her and never tire of showering her with kisses. I never knew what it was like to have an older brother but if I had I would have wanted these two to be mine! Enjoy!
