It's Fun Being an Evans!! October/November 2011

It seems that we have to have at least one blog a month that just has some pretty random things happening.  Too many fun things happen in this family, and they really should all be documented.  So lets see what random things we come up with....

This picture leads the way into randomness.  Enough said.

Oh, grandma Sherry.  The only way I got her to smile was to tell her that I was going to send this picture to Dallin.  Bam!!

This Lillian, likes to come out on the court and hit on the wall or practice her serve!  What a girl.

Allison, Lydia, and Fish, taking a hike somewhere around St. George.

Wow!!  Breathtaking!

This was super hero day at school for Homecoming.

Dinner outside

Yep.

DeWitt trying on his cowboy clothes for Homecoming week.

The final product of Cowboy day.

Here he is....my "sexy carpenter man"  Isn't he just so dang cute??

The time this man spends on this roof is amazing.  He is really working hard.  He even stayed up there working while it was raining.

That's my man.

So, I've never had a yard sale, but with our storage trailers over flowing, and Christmas right around the corner.  I thought it would be a good time to try one out.  So good ole Lil, stayed home from school and Sherry substituted for me at the temple, and we had ourselves a yard sale.  It was busy and fun, and funny to see what people would actually buy.  We were very successful though, so it was all worth it.

I didn't have time to take a photo before the sale actually began, because people started to come before the sale actually began.  I only had about two small boxes when it was all over with.

Thank goodness Rachel came and helped out, she just knew what to do.  Mom also came by to do a little shopping, and helped out a bit.  It was fun to have them there.

Oh love this,  The weather has been turning cold, and so for breakfast on Saturday, we had waffles, and hot chocolate under the pavilion with a beautiful, warm fire.  What  a life.

Ooooo, can't you just feel the heat??

A good time for snuggling.

• Polly had her 7th grade Fall choir concert.  She was very excited and it was a great program.  I'll add here that Polly has been trying out for the Safford Middle School basket ball team.  She has been fighting a cold, but has been working hard nonetheless.  She was so happy and relieved to find out that she made all four cuts.  She was 3rd to be called when they announced the team.  Boy howdy was this girl excited!!

Polly and I got to go to the Mountain for Rylie's birthday part.  It was so nice to get away from the heat and enjoy some real mountain air.

Polly, playing on the swing, being adventurous.

The apartments as of November 9, 2011.  The windows are in, the electricity is ready for the dry wall, the roof is almost completed.  My 'sexy carpenter man" has been working such long hard days, getting that roof shingled.  It's beautiful and Scott has done it all by himself.  He has PJ and Fred building cabinets.  AMAZING!

This picture was taken on November 9, 2011, just so we can document what happened on what day.  This little truck of the "Boys" has been used and it has been worked.

So, I'll end off with the most random of all.  A Brother and Sister Marcum, we visiting their old mission of 12 years ago, in Puerto Madryn.  They saw 2 Mormon Missionaries, walking the street, and they stopped them to talk and they said "hey give me your mother's address and we'll send her a picture."  Oh man, oh man. was that a happy surprise for this missionary momma.  It made my whole week.  I still can't believe, how happy I am that this happened. 
 Oh the Joy.
