Evelyn keeps doing all of these fun new things. It is so much fun to watch her grow and I love anticipating the fun new thing that she will do next. This morning I was cleaning the house and i had the radio on in her room, and since she loves music she was playing in there. When i walked past her room she had gotten the "Daddy Book" ( a scrapbook devoted to Andy) out and was lying on her tummy looking at the pictures saying the names of the people in the pictures. She would point at Andy and say "dadada" and at my dad and say "ampa" it was so cute and she didn't notice me watching so I got pictures(for some reason she stops doing her cute stuff when I get the camera and just tries to take it from me).

I finally got my kitchen clean and took pics. I really love my kitchen, despite the fact that its not quite finished, we are still waiting on some doors.
CAN YOU SPOT THE FOSSIL?

This is my favorite tile and if you look close you will see why.
I'll give you a hint: it's not an animal.
Cant find it?

Alright so I am pretty much the worst blogger ever! I'll do a quick catch-up. We finally remodeled our kitchen, and it is gorgeous, I am in love. I got to do it my way, with nobody at all telling me what to do(actually people did tell me what to do, I just filtered out the bad and annoying advice). I got maple cabinets with a coacoa glaze and the edges are sanded to give it a rustic look. My floor is slate, and it's so awesome, since it is natural stone, there are fossils in it. My countertops are granite and they are great because they wont scratch or burn so they are basically Amanda proof!! Unfortunately I am not any better of a cleaner now that my kitchen is pretty than I was when it was ugly, and my kitchen currently looks like a dumping ground for everything under the sun. I haven't taken any pictures of my completed kitchen yet but my mother in law took some when she was down here. It was great cause she cleaned the kitchen before taking the picture!!

This morning, I left evelyn upstairs for like two minutes while I checked something on the computer, when I got back upstairs she had found a tube of lipstick that I thought was lost, dug it out of the tube and covered herself and her dolls with it. She was so proud of herself, but not very happy with me when I was trying to get it off in the bath tub.

Evelyn's current favorite game is to play peek-a-boo. amazingly I was able to get it on camera.
