Evidence

Most people don't believe me when I say I married a very silly man. He comes off to everyone but me as quiet, slick and and low key. Here is proof! Finally. We were playing with the camera last night. Watch out as you scroll down, I promise you will be rolling on the floor once you see the last pic.

Cute Kids!

I got the kids dressed for church yesterday, and decided to take their pictures in their new outfits for the holidays.

One of the better ones of them together. (Couldn't get em to hold still)


Evelyn's dress fits perfect. Lets hope she doesn't grow too much from now until Christmas.

Evelyn's Christmas Dress!

Ok, So I want to do a little bragging.. (more than I normally do, 'cus my kids are totally the cutest there are) I spent all day yesterday on Evelyn's Christmas Dress. And I think It turned out perfect. I found this beautiful embroidered material at Wal-mart for only $2.50 a yard! And of course when your making a little girls dress thats all you need! I had left over white scraps from a dress I made a few years back for myself, and left over buttons. I had an old pattern for an infant dress I re sized myself, and changed a bit. So for only $2.50 This is how it turned out! (the new shoes she will need will be another story.) I love it. I want one! Please forgive me my moment of Pride.

Egan Boy

So this is Egan on any old day. He Loves to dress up! Anything he can put on, He will. Yes those are Mr. Potato Head Glasses.

My Silly Girl.

Here's just a little bit of oddity from the Harward family. So Evelyn for the past year and 1/2 has attached herself to the ugliest pee yellow blanket we received from the Christmas Box House one Christmas. Its that old cheap polyester wannabe flannel material that your dry skin gets caught on. She LOVES the feel of that blanket. I can't seem to find that kind of material anywhere! I don't think they make it anymore. Recently she has decided that she likes the feel of her pillow without the pillow case on it. The material of the pillow is that cold and sticky kind. She most days throws a fit to wear pants, and will never ever keep her socks on. These are some of the things we laugh about our sweet silly "baby" Evelyn.

My Book Blog

This last year since moving to the northwest I have been working on this book, and I'm just about done with it. I had a dream one night of this great plot and love story. (After watching a Jane Austin Movie) Its about a young girl, a gentleman's daughter of wealth and station falling in love. The book is written with her Diary entries. I have copied my mom on a few chapters, and I think she likes it. I've decided to open up and allow those who want to read it, read it and maybe give comments and suggestions. (be kind =) I've created a blog where everyday I will post a new chapter, or Diary entry. This blog will be open by invitation only. If I haven't sent you an invitation and you would like to read it, let me know. Artwork for the "Cover" will soon be added.
I will be attaching a link from this blog.
Enjoy!

The Bunk Bed

I'm sure all reading this know how WILD my kids are. Somehow they managed to break their beds last week. Egan had a cute spongebob toddler bed from wal-mart. Evelyn had her crib in the day bed setting. Some how they jumped and moved, and jostled the beds to pieces. Literally stripping the bolts. I don't know how it was done... but there you have it. So after searching for a while I found a nice inexpensive used Bunk Bed on Craigslist, we got it home. (I put it together myself while Aaron was at work, yeah for me.) The kids LOVE this bed, they love it so much, they smuggled a pen into their room, and drew all over the finished wood the morning after sleeping on it the first time! Total frustration is a word I use often in motherhood.

An Oldie

Remember when they were this little? I've been looking through old picures on the computer. This is one of my favorites. I'm sure I'll share more.

My Sweet Kiddies on Halloween!

Egan was Peter Pan, and Evelyn Tinker Bell. Aaron was Hook, and I was Tiger Lilly. (luckily we didn't get a picture of the grown ups. he he) We went to my Dad's super nice neighborhood in Camas and trick or treated. It only took Egan one house to figure out what he had to say to get FREE CANDY! Evelyn followed suit quietly, but just as happy. Egan yelled to my dad "Faster PaPa faster!" as he ran down the street. We then went to our ward trunk or treat and got even more. Aaron and I of course are benefiting from the spoils! Couldn't get the kids to look at me at the same time. I should cut and paste.. but I'm lazy.

Me and the Kids

Aaron got a hold of the camera the other day... This is what I do most the day. Fun for me.
