Kylie's 3!

So, I can't believe my baby is 3. Yikes....the time sure flew by. Here's some pics from her birthday on March 12th. My brother Brian got back from Peru, so Roger picked him up the night before @ the airport and then they drove up here on her birthday. The didn't come soley for her b-day, but it worked out perfectly. My brothr Phil & his wife Tawny (they live in Modesto), and Mom & Dad Evans (Manteca) came too. We ate yummy pizza and had cupcakes. We just wanted a small party, so sorry for those of you I didn't invite!

Andean Opals from Peru

These are Andean Opals/ Turquoise, Quartz, and Shark Tooth fossils-- from Peru that my Brother brought back. They are amazing. He will most likely be going back again and bringing more back to sell. The ones I have pictured are the ones he brought back for the family!!! Lucky us!!! I ended up getting a sweet Opal (turq. color) pendant, a Rose Quartz necklace, and a
turquoise bracelet!!!!

Madeline is 6!

Yikes, so I can't believe she's 6. She already talking about when she turn 8. She gets her ears peirced then. Sooooo, we had 12 girls over for Maddie's bday, the girls made necklaces and ate pizza and Ice Cream Cake. She had a school holiday, so it was perfect to have it on her REAL bday. She was excited all week leading up to THE DAY. She come running up to Larry & I and say..."Guess what? Guess how many days until my birthday?" She'd do this at least 10 times a day. She can be SUPER sassy, rude, shy, trouble maker, mean, bad/good example, sweet, caring, helpful, smart (sometimes too much for her own good), thoughtful, and CUTE as can be. She loves all of her family. She always tells me that I am the best Mommy ever and not to tell DADDY. HA HA HA! I tell her Daddy wouldn't mind since I AM the only Mommy. She will come up and give random hugs and kisses to me....sometimes I know I don't deserve them. She can be very helpful around the house and playing with Kylie--when she wants to be. She's super smart in school, and she knows it too. She's very helpful in her class in every way. She is a very good example to her friends at school. She's creative...she loves to draw, sing, dance, play the piano, etc. When she's bored, she will even do the homework for the following week. Can we say over-achiever? Better that than not. She loves life and all that it brings.

Happy Birthday Mom Evans

Family Time

We had great fun with our Evans family this past week. Larry's brother Matt & his wife Mandy & their 2 cute kids, Laynie & Peyton came from Vegas and My sis in law Liz moved back to Turlock--YEAH! So, here's a few pics from the week. We all hung out at the mall....it was crazy! Oh we were also glad to hang out with his other bro, Nate and his wife Jeanann and their not so little guy Bradyn.

Life

Well, life has been crazy this past week. Last Sunday I was released at Ward Choir Director. I have been in there for about a 1 1/2 yrs. Lots of work, but I loved it. Even when I got burned out. no more baking EVERY weekend. Well, I have to admit....2 weeks ago I didn't make anything since it was fast sunday...so later that night, I HAD to make something. So I made Peanut Butter Cookies, remember how much I LOVE PB? Anyways, I am now the Ward Activities Chair. We have a ward family activity coming up on Feb. 14th at the Oakland Temple. What better day to spend with your family here on Earth and the rest up in Heaven on Valentine's Day!!!! I have a lot to do, so I hope my committee is ready!!!!!

Business wise....I have been busy too. I had an order for 24 bows from a shop that I have my bows at in Danville. I just have 3 more bows to make then I will be done. I have an order from Etsy for 2 Tag blankets and 1 Zebra & Pink swirl all minky blanket. IT'S AWESOME. I will post pics later. I also made a Cow with a cobalt and white two toned minky swirl. I also made a few blankets with cotton backing on one side and Minky dot on the other...pics later. ADORABLE. I was so excited to make these. I have also been busy making Nursing Covers/Hooter Hiders, whatever you want to call them. I have some super cute patters right now. Within the next few days I should have about 5 of those avail.

Other than that we are doing well. Larry job has gotten a tiny bit less stressful, but secure!!!! Everyone needs car insurance and there are TONS of accidents everyday that need Claims Adjusters!!!! We hope everyone's new years is off to a good start!!!!!
