Bugs!!!

Evie and I went to the local science museum yesterday with our friends. They were having a bug exhibit and it was really fun and totally creepy crawly. Check us out.

Memorial Day

What an awesome day!! Heather and her family came over for a BBQ today and we had a fabulous time!!! BigBro and DocRom were here too! I think the pictures speak for themselves. And for the first time ever some photos of Heather and I together =)

The fun started when Heather and her family arrived.


We quickly got to the pool to swim off the heat.


Evie and Heather's twin girls all hung out together in the pack n play.


Gramper was all about the sun bathing, as usual. =)


DocRom and Grammy were pool hanging too.


And BigBro got the grilling started for us.


After a few hours and some GREAT eating Heather and I decided to see if our girls would swim. Oh boy did they LOVE swimming =)










Then it was time to get out of the water and say bye to our friends.




I took Evie inside and put a diaper on her and put her in the high chair to eat. I guess after such a big fun day she was ready for a big fun sleep =)


A great time was had by all and you can be sure we will being doing this again =)

The Players

My very awesome friends came to visit me this weekend and we had a BLAST!!!! We swam, got pedicures, went to fancy dinner, got a little intoxicated, and generally had an all around great time! =)

Off Gas, Shrimp Run, and Garden Mouth

Changing it Up

I am playing around with the blog today. I added all the blogs that I read to My Favorites. I had them all bookmarked and I decided to put them all in one place and let the bloggers I read know that I really like their stuff. Also I added a picture of Evie to the Header. It is a BIG picture, but is adds some drama to the blog and it is my favorite picture of Evie to date. So enjoy and give me some feedback on the changes. =)

Finally!!

My best bud and I FINALLY got together today. She was out of town for a month, and you better believe I was missing her like crazy! I had a wonderful time hanging out with her and just catching up with each other. I didn't realize how much I missed her until I saw her today. Here's some pics of Evie and her kids. =)





There will be lots more pics and maybe even some with the two of us in them after this weekend. Her family is coming over for a BBQ/Pool Party on Monday. YAY!!

Hello World

I feel like having fun. But I have nothing really funny or witty to share. So, you get a joke. A bad joke. A really awful, bad, no good joke. =)

The Wedding

Holy Cow!! What an amazing wedding day! The farm looked fantastic, the guests were fun and entertaining, the food was delicious, and the day was just perfect! I have some pics but I will be getting more in the next few days. Here is a peak into the wedding ceremony.

Bring it On

The madness and mayhem has come to the farm. It is a good time but oh my is it a lot more than I'm used to, we will survive. Also The Office season finale gave me new hope for mankind. I love that show! =)

I am surprised that I look 90% like Beyonce Knowles. I am flattered but still surprised. I really loved Amanda Peet on Studio 60 so that made me happy. I get the Jessica Simpson thing. She's blonde, I'm blonde. She's got a big smile, I have a big smile. But I am smarter than her and she is a better singer than me. Calista Flockhart...that is funny, I have never ever been compared to her. Rose McGowan is another crazy comparison, I guess they picked up on my dark and mysterious underbelly. =)

With the second picture I still look like Jessica Simpson. But now I look like Tori Spelling, Emma Thompson, Katie Couric, and Kristy Turlington too. I never thought those four had anything in common, but I guess they have me in common =)

So who do you like?

1. No one needed advice this week. That's good because I barely have a minute to spare this week.

2. Prepping for the wedding is both exciting and tiring. It is going to be an amazing day and I am so glad I get to be apart if it.

3. My twin brother (TwinBro) gets in tomorrow, as well as Grammy's 2 BFFs. It will be great to see them all and to have the extra help.

4. The new car seat for Grammy's truck arrived today. I am still waiting for my new diaper bag to get here. I so want that bag.

5. In 1.5 weeks my 2 BFFs are coming to visit!!!! Nicknames for both of them are forthcoming.

6. I ordered Father's Day presents for my Dad and Mr. E, I think they are going to LOVE what I got for them.

7. Mr. E has his plane ticket to fly home!!!!!! YAY!!! He leaves on July 13th and should be here at the farm in time for Evie's 1st birthday on July 20th!!!! YAY!!!

DocRom Graduation

Despite the minimal 4 hours of sleep and the drive through rush hour ATL traffic I had an awesome time at DocRom's graduation today. I got to meet DocRom's family and they are awesome people! I really enjoyed talking with all of them and I am really glad that our families are joining together. They are all coming here for the wedding Saturday and I am definitely looking forward to hanging out with them again. Way to go BigBro, you struck gold!





p.s. tomorrow is WWJD Tuesday, send me an email (evilynmo@gmail.com) or leave a comment and I will tell you what I would do if I were in your shoes. It's a win/win people so don't be shy, send in your questions. =)

Happy Mother's Day

Mom (Grammy), Mom (Nana), Mom (MiMi), Mom (Melinda), Grandma (GiGi), Oma, Grandma Miller (whom Evelyn is named after), Aunt Justine, Aunt Kathy, Chris, Heather, Mary, Kara, Cara, Melissa, Paula, Angela, Rosalyn, Kelly, Joanna, and all the other Moms that have touched my life over the years.

This year I feel especially thankful to the mothers in my life. For the first time ever I now understand how insanely hard and wonderful it is to be a Mom. Some of you have graduated all the way to Great Grandma status. Some of you just became Grandmas. A few of you have been Moms for years now. And then there are the others of you that are like me, rookies to this whole Motherhood game.

To you Great Grandmas on my list, thank you for surviving, you show me that though I feel like I will never make it some days, in the end Motherhood is a survivable condition with a happy gaggle of Great Grandkids at the end. To you Grandmas on my list, thank you for raising me and I'm sorry I was/am such a pain in the butt sometimes. Now I understand why leaving a sink of dirty dishes and tracking mud through the house warrants a punishment. Again, so sorry, I sure am gonna be on the other side of that soon. To the other Moms on my list, thank you for supporting me and being honest with me so I can be honest with you. Thank you for being my friends and understanding "Mom Time" and my greasy non-showered self in dirty clothes. To my Mom in law that didn't live to see her grand daughter, thank you for raising your son to be the kind of man that loves his daughter and wife more than anything. I wish you were here to get a hug from Evelyn but I know that wherever you are you know Evie and you love her. And you know that we love you and miss you.

To my husband and Daddy to Evelyn, thank you for creating this incredible little girl with me. It brings tears to my eyes because it was and continues to be our love that made this little girl who she is, thank you.

Happy Mother's Day Everyone =)

Bonnie and Evie
