be sure to catch evie saying "cheese" at the end of the video once she realizes she's being filmed.

don't forget to breathe!!

ooooofta!! our world has been crazy chaotic this past month. hence the lack of any communication in the blog world. please forgive me. i will try some snapshots so you can get caught up! *disclaimer, almost all of these pics were taken on my blackberry. please do not judge that bad photo quality.

----------------------

july 21st - i want to shameless spread the news that evie went poopy in the potty for the first time. might i also add that she wasn't even 19 months yet. i'm a proud mommy. evie decides what days she wants to sit on the potty. and also decides (adamantly) when she does not.

july 30th - chelsey & pat got married!!

best buds - chloe and evie always have a great time together!

july 31st - we moved. it was 105 degrees that day. and we also got hit by a u-haul employee with a u-haul truck in the u-haul parking lot. lame.

but these are the sunsets we get from our new porch. amazing. more pics of our new house to come soon.

we went to the county fair with evie. she loved the animals!

summer time = sweet corn

and just when you think she couldn't get any cuter....

evie will be mortified because of this photo someday. it is COMPLETELY worth it.

i got to spend a weekend in denver with my bestie, melanie!!

it has been an amazing summer filled with so many fun memories! hard to believe that fall is here! next week...i will begin my first class as a graduate student! holy moly! let the games begin!
