Moving On

So the other day mom tells me that a friend of hers who reads the Richardson Family blog said "I sure know all about Heather and nothing about you" well if that's not a sign then I don't know what is.

I have moved on! So, if you didn't know or if you care we now have our own blog where you can keep in touch with us check us out http://ournameisevans.blogspot.com/

I dont know what to title this! so here its JUDD

HAHA i love this picture! This is Elder Hill attacking Elder Purkey. HAHA!

This is Elder Purkey on the coolest scooter thing. We did service at a skateland and after they closed they let us ride these! Its really hard to see.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

If you know our Mom and Dad then you know why the Richardson kids feel so lucky. We seriously have great parents. They are such great examples of what marriage should be.

If I had to list some of the things that first come to mind when I think of my parents this is what it would be:

Saturday morning garage sales

Hot chocolate, warm blankets and slippers (okay, so it's Dad's treat to Mom)

Andy Griffith

A home that is warm and inviting- open to everyone

Loud cars

Fun vacations

Service and sacrafice- you can't have 10 kids without a lot of that.
Suburbans- I think they've owned 5 in my lifetime

Tortillas from Superior

Vernon

Family prayer and scripture study- they never miss!

Love of family

Support for each other and their kids

Chips and salsa
Speaking Double Dutch to each other to be sneaky but some how we were always able to pick out "Dairy Queen"
Sunday rides
Tetris competitions

Those are just a few of the things I think about when I think of Mom and Dad. But most importantly, they are wonderful companions to each other and great parents to their kids.

We love you, Mom and Dad!

Dancing Queen

Yesterday Kennedy started her ballet class. She was so excited to wear the ballet shoes and the dress that I wondered if she would really even like class. I was a little worried when I took her to class thinking she would cry. She hates nursery, refuses to go to pre-school and will only stay with a handful of people when I need a sitter.
When we got to class she ran into the studio and never looked back. I knew from previous experiences that it's never that easy. When I went to pick her up her teacher said she did great until the last little part. Then she was looking for me and didn't want to participate anymore. Little stinker. But, her teacher says keep her in class it's good for her and she will get the hang of it. So for now we are keeping her in but you may want to check back this is a To Be Continued.

Got Milk?

While Kobie and Jared were with Addie and Marlene in California I had the privilege of keeping Kimber (who by the way really is my child) for a few days. To be honest, even though this may break Kobies heart she never asked for her or Jared. I guess we just kept busy so she wouldn't have time to be sad.
One of the days Briana asked us to join her at Superstition Farms for their free farm tour. There were all kinds of booths and animals for the kids to see. Kennedy loved the goat's. Why would she love the goats after experiencing the crazy goat at grandma and grandpas?
The American Dairy Association gave free milk to everyone and Kennedy and Kimber loved the chocolate milk. I don't think that carton ever left Kimber's face until it was gone.
Kimber got a kick out of poking the bunnies and laughing. As soon as she put her finger in there she laughed and pulled it out as fast as she could. There was another mom standing near by who informed me that "bunnies sometimes bite" like I was forcing Kimber to do it for my own enjoyment. Needless to say we came home with all our fingers!

Photo tag

A friend of mine photo tagged me so I am passing this along. The game is simple just take photos of the following things. Then tag another! Kobie & Briana I tag you first!!
1. A photo of what your child(ren) are doing at this very moment. As soon as Kennedy saw me get the camera she was on the search for her own camera. But she had just finished helping me make banana bread.
2. Your favorite kitchen item. I love my Kitchen Aid. I have had it years now and its the best thing. Anytime Kennedy hears that thing going she is on her way to the counter with a spoon and a chair. It's flattering she always assumes its delicious.
3. Favorite pair of shoes. Has to be my Roxy sandals. I wear flip flops year round I cant help myself they are so comfy. Would you die if I told you they were $38? Come on I get my money out of my sandals. Just ask Kobie she has seen me wear them in the snow for pitty sake.
4. A photo of me. Yup, that's me and might I add 18 pounds lighter! Lots of hard work went into that people. I love that I can wear all my pre-child clothes again. It's like having a new wardrobe.

5. Favorite room in your house. My bedroom has to be it. I love the end of the day when its quite and I can just lay in my bed and do a crossword puzzle or watch a little Food Network. It's my little sanctuary.
