Hair Dryer

Evalyn has not lost any of her hair like most babies, instead its only getting longer. After bath time her hair is taking longer and longer to dry and she gets a little chilly, so I decided to try and blow dry it on low heat. She loved it so much that we use the hair dryer after every bath now. Here are a few pictures after the first time we dried her hair.

Evalyn and Mommy

Well, its late Thursday night and between trying to pack up the house by myself (in three days) cleaning and taking care of Evalyn I'm pooped! So, instead of sitting and slipping into self pity I decided to take a two minute break and look at some of the pictures we have taken lately. I came across these pictures of Evalyn and I and was reminded of how enormously blessed I am. I know "counting your many blessings" is one of the best ways to lift yourself and tonight it worked wonders. I am so thankful for the gospel in my life. I am thankful for the knowledge I have that my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ lives. I am so grateful to be blessed with a loving, devoted husband and that we have been entrusted with a beautiful baby girl.

Happy Easter

We enjoyed a beautiful easter Sunday here in Utah-the sunshine, being with family and most importantly thinking about our Savior and the reason for the holliday. The 65 degree weather allowed for our first family pictures outside our home. I had a great excuse to dress Evalyn up and we were able to have Easter dinner with our family, Kevin and Nicole. (Thank you again Nicole for taking pictures for us). Kevin held Evalyn for the second time, he was still a little nervous but she was loving it.

BATH TIME

Evalyn enjoyed her sponge baths so much we knew she would love it when we brought out the real thing. She loves the water and makes cute little squealing noises the whole time. Her favorite part is when daddy washes her hair. Here are a few pictures of her first night in her very own tub.

Evalyn is growing so fast (too fast) and she changes every day. Here are a few updated photos for our families- We wish you were here! Love Dave, Carissa and Evalyn

A present from Daddy

Dave came home the other night with a surprise for Evalyn and I! I have been looking at this rocker online for months, dreaming about having it to rock her to sleep in and to sit in when we get up in the middle of the night. Dave went out to buy a different rocker the other night but gave me the news that the store did not have any we liked in stock. I was so dissapointed but when he came home he brought a huge box up with him and surprised us with the rocker I never expected to have. Anyways, I thought I would post a picture of it to show the family. I also decided to post a picture of Evalyn right after an afternoon rocking session to prove how much she is enjoying her present from Daddy.
