Arizona State Fair, Halloween Ward Party, DV Baby Shower, and more of Baby Evans

The time is coming up when we finally get to meet our baby girl! I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, and Chris and I can't wait to meet her. We are trying to get in as much as we can before she comes...

Just to name a few, my Desert Vista Varsity Dance Line threw me a tea party themed baby shower. It was so adorable and I loved everything about it. Bianca had a onesie-making station, different types of tea and lemonade to drink, and all sorts of treats and decorations to honor the arrival of Baby Evans. My ward threw me a shower as well but I was having too much fun and forgot to take pictures....oops.

In September, I headed out to California to meet up with family at Disneyland. We stayed in the Grand Californian hotel and enjoyed time at the beach, both parks, and the pool. Even though we had 8 people staying in one room at one time, somehow we managed to make it work. Of course I was bad at taking pictures and only ended up getting pictures of Baby Addy because she is so adorable!

We made it out to the Arizona State Fair for our annual visit and had a great time. Of course we stopped at the petting zoo to feed the goats and llamas and got to hear Colbie Callait perform a few of her songs. We have enjoyed making the fair a tradition while we are here in Arizona. 

Last night we had the Cameron Ranch Ward Halloween Party. To say that we enjoyed the photo booth is an understatement. We spent pretty much the whole time there. Later that night we decided to do what we call "Punkin' Chunkin'....we got the idea from Modern Family. Boys against girls of course, we went to Wal-mart and had to find something for under ten dollars that would launch the small pumpkins we bought. Unfortunately, the girls lost, but it sure was fun to launch them. 

Chris and I were fortunate enough to get a 3D ultrasound of Baby Evans. It was fascinating to see her move around, open and shut her eyes and mouth, and use her hands to rub her face. My parents were down here at the time and got to see it with us. We are dying to meet her! We finally got her nursery all put together and now it is just the waiting game. Let's hope she comes on time...

Baby Addy all ready for Disneyland

I took her back to the hotel for a nap and she was so tired she couldn't even make it to the room 

So happy with her ice cream

3D ultrasound of our little baby.....love that she is rubbing her eye in the right picture

My poor Dad has always wanted a convertible....but no...he gives everything to his kids instead and is happy just to test drive his dream car. Look how happy he is....

Chris was doing some modeling in Banana Republic....I told him it definitely wasn't his look ha ha!

DV Dance Line Baby Shower

Emily Brewer sent me this picture one day....you have to admire the man still working in his "animal/fish stuffed" office even at 70 years old.  

Getting ready for little baby....

"Chunkin' Punkin'"

Yes Chris, old tyme ice cream does rock! That picture makes me laugh every time. 

Baby Shower, Vegas/St. George, Rodeos, and More...

Before the baby comes, Chris and I have been trying to enjoy life with just the two of us. We are so excited for our little baby girl to come, but we know this is going to change our lives forever...for the better at least. 

Lexi and Jessica threw me the most gorgeous baby shower I could ever ask for! The whole event was stunning and it was so fun to see old friends come and support Chris and me. The pictures don't even do it justice. 

Chris and I went up to Payson/Sedona with the Saager's and Gregory's a few weeks ago. We went to the Payson rodeo (my first ever!) and then went up to Saager's cabin to enjoy the weekend. We also hiked down to Tonto Natural Bridge. I am always so shocked by how hard it is to hike just a little ways when you are carrying around some extra weight. It was a great weekend away and it's always nice to get away from the city. 

I met Jessica, Lexi, and their kids in Vegas at the end of July. We spent one night at the MGM Grand and then headed up to St. George. Addy took her first steps and we celebrated the 24th of July with some fireworks in the driveway. 

I started coaching DV Varsity Dance Line with Bianca in August. We have 19 girls on the team and it is so fun to choreograph and coach them. We will head to competition in March. 

Chris is enjoying school and learning so much. He has already started seeing patients in the clinic (including me) and we can't wait until he feels comfortable to be on his own. Next year he will be doing rotations around the country before graduation. 

Had a weekend away with Tahnee, Malorie, and Courtney. We went to Scottsdale and enjoyed the free weekend. 

Found these lovely pictures of Chris when he was about 11. 

Such a cute little kid!

And then he grew up.....ha ha, just kidding. Chris was fooling around with some dentures he made at school. 

He makes me laugh

We went to DQ with friends and ended up getting a whole bunch of free ice cream. All those cups belong to only 6 people.

Me, Tahnee, and Courtney bowling. We beat the boys by 3 points!

8 Days of Summer

Chris only had 8 days off this whole summer from Dental school since they have to run the clinic all summer. So, we decided to go to Utah of course (aka "The Holy Land" as Chris calls it) and spend time with family. Whitney and Alan came to Utah with their kids and we were able to spend time with them as well. After seeing friends and family for a few days, we headed down to St. George with Chris' family and had such a great time. The 4th of July was a success and the weather was ideal compared to 110 degrees in Arizona. 

When we got home, we had our next ultrasound so we could see all the anatomy of the baby. Everything looks great and she weighs 1 lb and 1 oz at 22.5 weeks. She was moving around like crazy yesterday, and Chris can finally feel her kicking. My belly has finally popped out and it actually has been a lot of fun so far. However, I know it only gets worse from here.... 4 months to go!

 It was so fun to see the baby again! She was a stubborn little thing and wouldn't turn over for a while so we could get a good profile shot. We finally got it. 

 Lexi left her sunglasses in my purse. They were put to good use walking home from church.

 Baby Addy kept biting her toy that I was dangling in front of her and then she wouldn't let it go. Funny girl. 

 Chris says he doesn't want a dog right now, but I think he is lying. 

 St. George fun with Chris' family. Weston wasn't too happy about me taking a picture. And, of course when I try to get a picture of Chris and Kallen, they make such beautiful faces. 

Jessica found these pictures one day. The top one is after I didn't win prom queen. Jessica ran across the Olympus High School stage with that sign and the spotlight guy followed her because he thought she was a student. One of the funniest things I have seen her do. 

The bottom picture is when I dyed my hair blonde (won't be doing that again) and Annie was still alive. We loved that dog!
