I mainly wanted to have it because we're going to be getting some pics done at the beginning of the month (we're doing a fam pic so I got a cute little holiday pic and then I wanted to have something ultra cutesy for her to get some individual ones of her). So I thought this was cutesy enough for it! I'm having my awesome little sister Monie crochet some Mary Jane booties for the holiday pic and then some ballet slippers/hat for the cutesy outfit. It's going to be so freaking adorable and I can't wait to get them done!

"Daughters are flowers that are forever in bloom."
Having a baby girl is so much fun! There are just so many cute things out there to dress her up in and make her cute and adorable. Unfortunately a lot of that cute stuff is expensive!!! So that's when DIY comes into play. I love the cute little tutu skirts out there, I see little girls all the time at the mall wearing them and they are just adorable! They are pretty expensive though, which is so dumb for something so simple and easy! So I went and made one myself! I went and bought some tulle and elastic and wa-la! Presto chango- I have a cute skirt! :) (My friend Whit made the cute little flower thing to match it and I put it on the skirt).

'Wherever your feet lead you, may they always help you find the way home.'
This is why my stomach felt like it was a soccer ball in the world cup at 10pm every night...
She did this for almost 15 minutes straight last night, it was SO cute and SO funny! Most of the time she just gets going with her right leg and some little moves with her right, then sometimes she alternates them and other times they are sychronized...it's pretty funny! She's such a wiggly little thing though!!! But so cute and so happy and smiley! Too adorable I tell ya...we just love watching her, it's so entertaining!
(I just thought this was a funny pic...she is very expressive with her hands though).
(she's been crossing her feet more lately, which is funny cuz at our second ultrasound she was crossing her feet like that then too!
(so cute!)
(I finally got her hands wrapped up but now her feet get free...I'm never gonna win. But they look so cute!)
(a closer up pic, they're so big!)

"Crunching, crinkling autumn leaves. Spiraling, swirling in the breeze." --Julie Perkins Cantrell--
Happy November everyone! We've had a beautiful first week here in Utah and I've been lovin' it! It's pretty much been in the upper 60's and sunny, perfect weather right there! We've been going on walks whenever we can and it's been great. Evelyn usually likes the walks until she gets the hiccups and then she gets upset...she does not like hiccups!
(out for a walk!)
Other than that not much has gone on this week. Just chillin' and doing some stuff around the house. We're starting to get things planned/worked out for when we move next month (how wonderful that sounds!!!). I'm starting to go through my stuff and am getting rid of the stuff I don't need/want anymore. The great thing is if we have the Navy do all our moving stuff, they are going to come to our house, take inventory, PACK everything, and then store it! Which means I pack nothing! Sweet! Packing sucks...we're still working on how to get them to do it but it should work out.
Let's see what else...Evelyn is a month old today! She is getting so big and is cuter and cuter! She is such a wiggly little thing and still just loves to look around her. She loves to kick her legs like crazy, especially just after she wakes up, it's really funny. She is so long too! Which shouldn't be surprising but she really is, just about everything on her is long, her arms, legs, fingers, toes...very cute. She's much more vocal too...she coos and sighs and grunts and makes all sorts of little noises (I tried to put a video on here but it wasn't working so I'll try to put it on facebook). I especially love her smiles...I LOVE it when I'm talking to her and she just breaks out into a big grin, it's utterly adorable and sooo sweet! She's just too precious :)
(I got her a play mat thing but she hasn't really gotten to much into it yet)
(She holds her head up so well! strong little thing)
(Daddy's home)
(No matter how well I try to wrap her up, she always gets her arms free, but when she has her arms free she flails them around and wakes herself up)
As for Mark this week, he's just been busy with school and such as usual. He's only got a month left of classes though! It's getting closer and closer...This semester is going pretty good though. He's been doing good in getting his homework done so he can spend time with me and Evie in the evenings when he comes home. Although yesterday a majority of his time was spent watching the Alabama football game...not much we could do to distract him from that! :) haha...It was a good game though, Alabama won (they were playing LSU) and are still undefeated and are now the Western SEC champs. Mark's very excited about that, as I'm sure his bro Michael is too. I am as well cuz I'm a Bama fan now (according to Michael :). I don't mind football but it ain't my favorite thing to do/watch. I'd rather watch basketball which is now possible since the NBA season has already started.
Anywho...enough sports. I guess the only thing left is to tell you all of my experience yesterday in cutting Mark's hair for the first time! :) He wanted to get a clipper set and try doing it on our own instead of having him go get his haircut at a salon. So I got a set and cut it yesterday. I was pretty nervous and scared I was gonna mess up, and I'll say it sure isn't perfect but I think I did a fairly decent job! It doesn't look any worse than it did the last time he went to the salon (it wasn't finished off very well). He's happy with it so I guess that's all that matters!
(He was a little nervous too...)
(I just thought this looked funny, his hair was sooo long)
(The finished product!)

"There Is Magic In The Night, When Pumpkins Glow With Candlelight."
We didn't really do much for Halloween since Evelyn's still just a wee thing. I dressed her in a onesie that my niece Carmen got for her that said, "I love my Mummy" which was pretty cute. Mark had to do some surveying in the morning so me and Evelyn took a walk around the mall til he got back. Then we just chilled when Mark was done until Amy and Calvin got to our house in the afternoon. We had them over and did pumpkins like last year. Luckily Evelyn slept nearly the whole time we were carving, at least long enough for me to finish mine. :) So that's pretty much all we did this year! It was pretty fun though!
(This is the onesie cousin Carmen got for Evelyn)
(I love that smile!)
(She had a little mess though so we had to change from her pants to this CUTE denim overall dress!)
(I love babies in overalls)
(Intense carving!)
(Auntie Amy and Evelyn!)
(Me and Mark's pumpkins)
(Amy and Calvin's pumpkins)
(I was trying to do leaves, like the name tag the nurses made for Evelyn but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped)
(Mark used a pattern from the book and it turned out so good!)
(Calvin did a silhouette of somebody but I can't remember who it was for the life of me...he had some trouble though and had to pin it together with toothpicks so it would stay, very sad)
(Amy did one out of the book too and hers turned out awesome too! I guess next year I'm just gonna stick to a book pattern)
(This is her cute outfit yesterday, toooo cute!)
