The Toy Monster

So, I heard about a little thing called the toy monster. He loves to eat toys, and only toys. If there is a toy on the ground when we all go sleep, he will gobble it up and it will not be there in the morning. So, I decided to try this with Taeler. With my mom's help, she told Taeler a very sad (fake) story about how her cousin Bella got some of her toys eaten by the toy monster. Taeler was very interested in the story. She kept asking"Is Bella so sad?", and "which toys did the toy monster eat?". So, for the past couple days, Taeler has been sooo good about cleaning up her toys. The only annoying thing is when I have her in bed and she remembers a toy somewhere on the ground in the house, she jumps out of bed to go rescue the toy from getting eaten. i have yet to take a toy away that was not put away, but we'll see how long this lasts! I'm sure when the monster eats his first toy, she will surely remember. Hopefully the next time she sees Bella, she won't figure out we made up the story about her!

Rylee: two weeks old

I can't get enough of this little girl. She is already starting to get little chubs on her! I definitely feel very blessed to have two sweet, beautiful little girls.

Taeler's new favorite thing

Taeler found a new hobby, taking pictures. She will take them of everything. Thank goodness for digital. She loves taking shots of her with other people. She took these two pictures last night. They were pretty centered, of course she tried twenty times before she actually got us in the picture.

More pics of the new addition

Here's some more pics!

She's Finally Here: Rylee Marin Bevans

Rylee was born Sat, Sept. 1, at 9:04 am. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz., and was 20 inches long. We are so excited she is here! We are all doing well.

Family night

The other night for family night, ok it was Tuesday cuz Monday is night clinic. Anyway, we went to get ice cream at a little place named Silvermann's. It was delicious. Taeler got a cotton candy ice cream cone, and Josh and I shared a shake. I recommend it to everyone, but will say it was quite pricey for an ice cream shop. Then again, so is everything around her! It was nice to spend some time with dad!

Aunt Sydney

This is my little sister Sydney. I wanted to embarress her because that is what sister's do. She is fifteen and a sophmore at Basha high school. She just got nominated for homecoming queen and is very embarressed about it. She is shy and obviously doesn't realize how beautiful she really is. I know I didn't look like her when I was fifteen. Anyway, congrats to Sydney, and hopefully you'll win, even though I know you don't want to!

Taeler and Mom

Taeler loves to take pictures. She wanted to take one of us, so here it is. A little scary, but Taeler thought it was so cool!

Discovery Museum

Recently, we got a pass to the Discovery Museum. It is a really neat place where the kids can go and run and play and do lots of different activities. These are some pictures of Taeler, Hadley and Kinley one time we went! Also, I included a picture of the Carpenters new baby boy, Crew, cuz I know alot of you have moved away and are anxious to see him!
