2011-06-02T21:40:00.002-05:00

Karoake fun

2010-05-15T20:29:00.006-05:00

Today is Saige's 8th birthday....and one would think I would have pictures of her, but the party is tomorrow so I will get some then....but I had to post this video of Kassidy trying out the new karoake machine with Mallory. She is a hoot! I have been really bad about posting lately...most of my free time is going to my new business! I am a distributor for Ardyss International now --- it is a

No Time To Blog...

2010-04-14T18:53:00.004-05:00

Sorry I haven't been blogging...we've been swamped lately with vacation and sports being in full swing! Here are some pics from the girls first trip to the "real beach", as they called it, in GalvestonTexas.Kassidy walked on the beach a little, but the wind was cool and she fell asleep pretty quickly as it was naptime. Hopefully next time we can swim! Gotta run...will post Easter pics soon!

No time to blog...here's some pics!

2010-03-14T14:41:00.002-05:00

Quick picture before church!LOL...you'd think they like one another by this pic? Aren't they so sweet when they are asleep? This is "Raffy", her best pal...

School Dance

2010-02-24T14:08:00.006-06:00

Daddy and his girls ready for the big school dance! I had ordered a dress for Mallory that matches Saige's but is turquoise...but it didn't get delivered in time...but Mallory was happy to wear her new ballerina dress Grandma got for her. Of course we had to do something "different" to her hair so it would bee special for her first dance! They sure grow up fast! Sparkly princess! Her favorite

Kassidy's One Year Pictures

2010-02-05T13:46:00.004-06:00

Here's the big one year old...she is definately an Elmo lover...You can just SEE how ornery she is?That smile melts my heart! Momma's Littlest Girl She loves her Elmo Tutu outfit She thought it was way fun to play with the petals! These are a few of my favorites....they were all taken by my friend Betsi. (www.elizabethjacksonphotos.com)

Our Kitty Jynx has the patience of Job...

2010-01-30T13:35:00.002-06:00

I think that Jynx must have used up his nine lives so he is stuck being patient with this wild child of mine...he is SO good with her, it is amazing. As you can see she hasn't quite grasped the concept of "be gentle"! OUCH!We are finding that Kassidy is a jabber jaw - BIG TIME! She does try and repeat what we say a lot - and sometimes she just babbles...like this: As you can guess life

Cheer and teething

2010-01-24T14:19:00.007-06:00

Kassidy is a fashion statement waiting to happen...we cleaned out the hall closet and found some treasures: a too small KSU hat and her Elmo innertube being the best of them!Here's a lil' video I took yesterday of Mallory's cheer team in action...they are too adorable! Little Kassidy is teething and she is a monster...poor thing. She screams and cries, so we know when the tylenol wears off!

Giggling Goof

2010-01-18T18:00:00.004-06:00

Kassidy is training to be a card shark....she is practicing with the girls Dora crazy eights cards. This video makes me crack up...Kassidy just LOVES her new giraffe she got for her birithday from a dear friend, Joyce. She is a hoot. That's all for now....gotta get Saige to basketball practice...we are always on the go!

Birthday Girl Turns One

2010-01-13T14:10:00.004-06:00

I only have a few minutes so I thot I would quickly post the progression of Kassidy's attack on her Elmo Cupcake....."You want me to do WHAT?" YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kassidy had a wonderful party at the hotel - she wasn't interested in swimming as she deemed it too noisy to be in the pool with the zillion kids. She got lots of neat presents and had a ball - she is growing up too fast!

Losing it...

2010-01-03T17:55:00.004-06:00

This is Miss Kassidy the Elmo-Addict. Sereiously, I think she needs help. When Elmo's World comes on she sits completely still and I don't think she even breathes! It is downright hilarious! You cannot get her attention for anything...she is focused! Ok so I am usually the one taking the pictures and not IN them...but people were bugging me to take a pic to show my weight loss so here it is - me

Happy New Year!

2010-01-02T09:23:00.003-06:00

The girls have enjoyed the snow - this is their Mini Mickey Mouse SnowmanChristmas morning --- as you can see FOUR new bikes take up the whole living room! Even Kassidy got a little bike seat so she will be able to ride with us...now if we could get some warm weather!The girls had been begging for Snuggies for awhile...so they were quite happy to finally get one! Lee helped Kassidy with her

Christmas is coming and learning to walk...

2009-12-23T19:52:00.010-06:00

Who has time to blog during the holidays? Time seems to fly by...here's a quick run through of some happenings in the Evans' household.We had the first big snow of the season a few weeks ago. The girls enjoyed sledding!Kassidy is on the go these days... Kassidy is learning to walk...she can do it well as long as she is pushing something, but has no desire to try it on her own just yet! Mallory

Thanksgiving and Disney on Ice!

2009-11-29T07:23:00.008-06:00

As you can see Kassidy didn't quite make it to eat Thanksgiving dinner with the rest of us...she literally fell asleep while she was eating! I would put the spoon to her lips and she would take a bite, all while her eyes were closed! It was hilarious! It was a lot of excitement for a little one. We had a great Thanksgiving - we have a lot to be thankful for.Grandma, Mallory, Kassidy and I went

Trip to Nashville, TN

2009-11-17T22:01:00.009-06:00

We had a wonderful trip to Nashville last week! The weather there was fabulous and we were able to do and see things that we hadn't before...the girls LOVED this park by Mimi's house.We walked to the park since it was so nice outside...it was hilarious as the girls played so hard they whined that they wanted me to walk back and get the car and come get them! Cracked me up as when I said no they

Happy Girl

2009-11-08T20:19:00.005-06:00

Not a lot of time to blog lately...we are getting ready for our holiday trip to Nashville this week to visit family...but here are some videos of the happy girl! Kassidy's favorite thing to do lately is look at her own picture book. She has one with my mom's pictures from a sitting where she had some done for her book picture...she adores them! She goes page to page giving grandma "loves"..

Happy Halloween

2009-10-31T21:57:00.005-05:00

Happy Halloween 2009 Mallory (Angel), Kassidy (ladybug), and Saige (rock star)Kassidy thought the whole thing was rather humerousThe big girls couldn't wait to get started trick or treatingKassidy "drove" along them and watched...no need for her to trick or treat just yet, this was her trial run. Next year will be the real deal! Daddy made Kassidy an Elmo pumpkin - he is too creative! She loves

Sesame Street Live

2009-10-28T19:10:00.007-05:00

Miss Kassidy and I went to see Sesame Street Live today - the big girls were in school so it was a mommy and Kassidy trip. We got to sit in the front row as our friends won tickets AND backstage passes to meet and greet a character before the show. We had hoped it would be Elmo, but turned out to be Abby Kadabby (sp?) - so Kassidy wasn't as impressed with meeting her...but boy did she love the

Amazon Diaper Deal

2009-10-27T08:48:00.001-05:00

I saw this deal online....thought I would share. I haven't tried these diapers yet, but am thinking I might order some size 6's at these prices as the reviews on them are really good and they are supposed to help with diaper rash. (I am all stocked up on size 4 and 5's from double coupons at Kmart!)On Amazon.com ---1) get your $4 off coupon

Fun Times

2009-10-27T07:34:00.006-05:00

Last Saturday the big girls and I went to the KSU/Colorado game with my mom. We had a wonderful time - the girls really liked the band, cheerleaders, and the "flag girls". Lee stayed home with Kassidy to watch the Alabama/Tenn. game and they had fun playing. I think the girls enjoyed having mom and I to themselves for a bit. The weather was perfect for a ball game and we won --- what more can

Family Pics

2009-10-20T11:38:00.007-05:00

Sorry for the delay in posting these...here are a few of my favorites of our family pics we had taken. They were all so stinking good it is hard to choose! If you are in the area and need family pics - check out www.Elizabethjacksonphotos.com - she is the bestest! The Evans Family 2009We look like we did in our engagement pics here...too funny!Mallory is 5, Saige is 7, and Kassidy is 9 months

Kitty Kitty...

2009-10-11T19:04:00.004-05:00

Kassidy LOVES our kitty Jynx! He is actually pretty fond of her, too as he will lay by her and let her mess with him for awhile before running off...Things have been so busy lately with both girls in school and finishing up the soccer season. Yesterday both girls' games got cancelled due to the cold weather, which was actually kinda nice as we could stay home in our jammies all day. I did get

temper tantrums...

2009-10-03T20:16:00.005-05:00

Wow, today was quite the day. My mom and I took the girls to the mall to find something for Kassidy to wear tomorrow for pictures. It went relatively smoothly until towards the end - Miss Mallory got tired and started her temper tantrum on our way out. UGH! What was really rather humerous was that we finally get everything in the car and Mallory was in her seat, but hadn't buckled herself up yet

Kassidy is crawling!

2009-10-01T21:05:00.005-05:00

Miss Kassidy figured out how to get up and crawl yesterday! Nothing is safe now! She loves to crawl into the corner and get herself stuck - then she whimpers to be helped. She is quite the tencho baby - she loves to sit and watch me on the computer...she and Mallory were watching videos of her on the computer and she was just a cackling at herself. It was humerous! I have become a "coupon

On the move...

2009-09-27T20:12:00.008-05:00

Kassidy is constantly changing - I can't keep up! She is on the move now - inching and rolling all over the place...sometimes throwing herself forward to get where she wants to go. Nothing is safe anymore now that she is officially off the blanket!!! LOL My mom and I took Mallory and Kassidy to the park saturday nite. It was Kassidy's first time swinging -- she was quite impressed with it!

Family fun

2009-09-13T21:05:00.009-05:00

What a weekend! Seems like it just began and now it is over! Started out with family movie night at the girls' school - they showed Hotel for Dogs in the gym. Everyone brought blankets and chairs and the PTO sold hot dogs, nachos, cotton candy...a grand time was had by all!Here is Saige with her new friend TrinityHere is Mallory with her new friend Laiesha Kassidy and daddy reading her new book

8 months old already?

2009-09-07T20:03:00.013-05:00

As you can see it is hard work to be 8 months old...Kassidy is a bouncing fool - she loves to bounce and one night she literally bounced herself to sleep! It was hilarious, poor lil' soul!We are learning how to use a spoon...well sort of. She holds one and plays with it while I feed her with another one - it's her way of feeling a part of the process I guess! She has decided that bottles are for

Getting back into the groove

2009-08-31T21:39:00.002-05:00

Wow - seems like I haven't had ten seconds to sit and blog lately! I am running to try and get back into the groove of the whole school routine & am finding that with two in school it can be crazy! One night last week we had meet the teacher nite (times two, so we each had to take a classroom) at the same time that Saige had soccer practice...so my mom picked up Mallory and the baby and Granny

First Day of School

2009-08-17T21:11:00.009-05:00

Today was the girls first day of school -- Saige is a 2nd grader and Mallory is in kindergarten. They were so excited! Course Mallory's first outfit had a white tank top...which promptly ended up with chocolate milk on it, so this is her second outfit of the morning. She wreaks havoc on white! (hence why I rarely buy it for her!) Why is it that we had to have a torrential downpour today of all

Two Teeth already...

2009-08-15T21:16:00.007-05:00

Well it is absolutely crazy that Kassidy already has two teeth! The girls both were almost one when theirs came in - so this is way early from what we are used to. Kassidy thinks she is a big girl and should be able to eat cheeseburgers now that she has teeth - we are easing her into big girl food with mashed potatoes and eggs (not together!) every once in awhile. She loves her baby food, though.

Loud girl!

2009-08-05T16:15:00.007-05:00

I don't have a lot of time to blog right now, but wanted to post a few videos I have taken of Kassidy lately - she is a loud girl! She giggles and laughs and says "ba ba"...which could be bye bye or ba ba for bottle, she uses it for both at this point! We got the girls enrolled for kindergarten and second grade today - they are very excited. Saige is a great big sister and was telling Mallory

Time flies...

2009-07-31T10:52:00.004-05:00

Wow, here we are a week later and I have yet to upload the pics from our trip to Salina! UGH! The girls had Vacation Bible School through our church every nite this week - so it was a busy one. They had a ball, as always. VBS is the highlight of their summer. We did manage to make it to get Kassidy's 6 Months pis done --- aren't my 4th of July girls cute?Today Lee and Saige left for Nashville for

Coupon Queen

2009-07-20T20:45:00.003-05:00

I apologize for not posting - life has been crazy busy lately! We spent the weekend in Salina visiting my sister and didn't get home until Sunday afternoon...then I was busy getting ready for another workweek! There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day...plus I am sick with allergies still...I swear this year is the WORST for them! UGH! Anyhow - I had to post real quick and share my

More time in the day...

2009-07-12T21:50:00.006-05:00

Wow - I am finding it hard to find time to blog lately - things have been crazy busy!!!!! When Lee travels for work it leaves me a single mom to three and I don't seem to get anything done...I need more time in the day as 24 hrs apparently isn't enough! They look angelic, eh??? Looks can fool you...ha ha!Mallory turned five on saturday - we went to

Happy Fourth of July!

2009-07-04T08:33:00.019-05:00

Well it's been another busy busy week! My cousin Kris and her son Spencer came from Colorado to visit. Spencer is 5 and Mallory has decided he is her new best friend - they are adorable together! We have had a great visit...Weds we went to Gage Park to play a bit...Grandma gave Mallory her birthday present early so that they could enjoy it with Spencer...this is going to bring them tons of

Whirlwind week

2009-06-28T21:52:00.013-05:00

Happy Fathers Day, Lee! This was taken before church...daddy and his girls!This probably won't be long tonight as I am trying to get ready for tomorrow and going back to work. We went to Nashville last week for Pop's funeral on weds -- so since Saige had to leave for church camp on thursday she got to stay home with Granny and Grandma as we didn't want her to miss camp. (she's been looking

Play date!

2009-06-19T22:13:00.008-05:00

I don't have a lot of time to post tonight as I need to be working on laundry and getting everyone packed....Lee's dad passed away this morning and we are headed to Nashville for the funeral. We get back the day before Saige leaves for church camp -- so I have to have her packed and ready to go for the most part as we won't have much turn around time in between trips! Please continue to pray for

Learning to use the new camera...

2009-06-17T14:02:00.003-05:00

OK it is naptime and we are having a meltdown, but I thot I would post this new video...I am learning to take them with the new camera. As you can see Kassidy is quite taken with her sisters...even when they play a bit rough! Enjoy!

Birthday weekend

2009-06-14T22:39:00.012-05:00

Like this silly girl? She learned how to blow raspberries...the girls keep telling her she isn't supposed to be spitting! LOL We had a busy busy weekend...I am not ready for tomorrow to be Monday, that is for sure!Saturday morning the girls woke up before me and brought me breakfast in bed - they are such sweethearts. I am 33 now - man that seems old! My mom gave me an awesome new camera - a

Allergies are no fun!

2009-06-11T21:17:00.003-05:00

Sorry no blogging this week...I have been sick as a dog with my allergies! I coughed so much I lost my voice on tuesday, by wednesday I think the meds were kicking in, and today I am starting to feel more human though I am still quite croaky!Please continue to pray for Lee's family - we got the call today that his dad's doctors called in Hospice as there isn't anything more that they can do for

Front Teeth finally coming in!

2009-06-06T21:24:00.008-05:00

YAHOO!!! Saige's front teeth are finally making an appearance! They have been MIA since November and I was starting to think maybe they were never going to come in. She is quite proud!Today Kassidy is 5 months old! Unfortunately she is battling allergies like her momma and isn't in the best mood for pictures today, so I let her off the hook for the most part. Here she is trying out our newest

Busy weekend...

2009-06-01T16:50:00.011-05:00

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days...seems like time just got away from my while Lee was outta town last week and then the weekend was so busy with softball games...and I feel like dog doo thanks to my allergies...it's always something, huh?The girls had wonderful softball games this weekend. On Saturday Mallory hit both her pitches and it was the first time she didn't have to use the tee -

Rainy Wednesday

2009-05-27T22:22:00.015-05:00

Well today was a cold and rainy day...not a fun one for my day off! The girls and dogs were not happy about being stuck indoors when it is now supposed to be summer and time to play outdoors!Please pray for Lee's dad. He is in the hospital in Florida - Lee is flying down there tomorrow morning to be with him and the family. I feel so helpless being this far away, right now all I can do is pray!

Worlds of Fun

2009-05-25T09:02:00.019-05:00

We had a WONDERFUL time at Worlds of Fun yesterday! Saige and Mallory were thrilled to have mom and dad all to themselves and they got along quite well. (usually they are either the best of friends or the worst enemies, no in between!) Here they are pictured as we waited to get on the Fury of the Nile.We rode the Fury of the Nile three times in all...the last time Lee sat out (he didn't want to

Favorite Things

2009-05-23T10:12:00.007-05:00

I have been asked by some of my friends what my favorite baby things are...there are some neat things out now, that is for sure!Kassidy's favorite is her Pacimal, Macey Mouse. I don't have a good picture of it, but here she is holding it in her hand so you can kind of get an idea. It's a little stuffed animal with a binky on it's head. She LOVES to play with it, chew on it, and when she gets

Softball Pictures

2009-05-22T12:34:00.008-05:00

Our newest adventure is to take up softball. Saige and Mallory are on the same team this year, which makes it easier on us. They are proud to be the Purple Penguins!Here they are practicing before their first game with daddy. Catching is awfully hard when you aren't used to using a glove...Saige as catcher and batting.Mallory batting & catching...yes she is a lefty!OK so I have to laugh at Saige

Going to learn to blog...

2009-05-22T10:41:00.003-05:00

OK since I have become addicted to reading other mother's blogs I decided maybe it was time I learned to blog myself...a good place for documenting events and things as the girls say and do some of the funniest things. I am sure that as a mother of three I will forget them sooner rather than later if I don't get them written down somewhere!As you can see I have 3 redheads. Saige just turned 7 in
