Todd took a few days off work, so I took advantage of it to have him help me clean out the rooms in our house. We've only finished the laundry/storage room, but it made a HUGE difference and now our food storage is more organized. Hooray!

How did my kid learn this?!?!!
A conversation that took place this morning between Evan and I:
"Where's the baby Momma?"
"She's right here Evan."
"Oh. Did the doctor get her out?"
"Yes Evan, the doctor got her out."
"Did you push?"
"Yup, I pushed."
"Did you cry?"
"No Evan, I didn't cry. I had an epidural."
"Oh."
I don't know how he knew that women push babies out! Guess his mother is an OB nurse.

The greatest joy!
This was a long, long weekend of work. Twelve hour shifts can be horrible when you're busy, but absolutely unbearable when they're slow. Wow. I wanted to go to church with my family so badly today. Coming home was wonderful though. I came in the door to hear cheers from Evan as he ran up with arms out to give me a huge hug. Madilyn (who just learned to crawl a week and half ago) saw me, let out a little squeal and crawled over as fast as she could (it was quite cute to see all the effort). It is so nice to be loved and to have such beautiful things to come home to.... and the best part? Todd had dinner ready. Hooray for my wonderful husband!!

Baby Woes
My little baby is growing up too fast. She started crawling a few days ago, and is now getting into the bathroom. Oh the joys! She has also really gotten into "talking".... and loudly. It's cute, but can be very annoying when trying to watch a movie or have a conversation with an adult. At the doctor's office today whenever anyone talked to her she would just make farting noises at them with her tongue and lips and then flash her gorgeous smile. Man she is a stinker!
She is 31 inches (99.8%) and 24 pounds 7 ounces (96%) at 9 months. Because she has been teething, I failed to equate her fussiness to a bad ear infection. After 10 days of amoxicillin, she now has two ear infections and a stronger antibiotic. However, she doesn't even complain. She is her normal self. I am just waiting for her to become a difficult child, and I am loving the heck out of all these "angel" months. Can't she just stay little forever?

Railroad Park
I apologize now for all the pictures in this post, but this was a really neat place and we had blast!
We had a great weekend in the Valley with Grandma and Grandpa Shreeve and Uncle Brandon and Aunt Brindi. We spent Saturday at the McCormick Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale, AZ. Although smaller than I thought it would be, it was every little boy's dream park. 
This is looking down the hallway inside the above train's passenger car. I couldn't belive how small the rooms are compared to the movies that make them look huge! This train car was the president's car. Wow! I have a lot of pictures of the rooms, but there are too many. The woodwork and mouldings in this place are amazing! We have never seen such tiny toilets!
The Whole Family!
We all got to ride on this tiny little steam engine around the park and through a tunnel.
Evan was very afraid of the carousel, but he loved this train ride and had to toot his train whistle every time the conductor tooted his. So cute!
The best part about this park was how inexpensive it was to have so much fun. Park admission is free. The train ride is $2 per person. The carousel and train tour are $1 a person (kids are free for the tour). Not pictured is the carousel, playground, mini train towns that are amazing!, shops, and lookout towers, and other buildings. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a cheap family adventure!
After the park, the grandparents graciously took the kids so we could go watch a movie. It was a much needed break from the kids. Although Seven Pounds is a VERY sad movie, and I wouldn't recommend seeing it in the theatre.
With all the Thomas the Train tracks and engines, our house is looking like Grand Central station! Evan is in heaven!
