Curly Locks

Here are some fun things Evia has done lately

1. She thinks my moms furry white scarf is a cat so she says kitty and gets really excited when she see it so so funny!!

2. when she has a toy davids keys or even food I say share? And she holds out the object for me to have . Then I play with it for a minute then I say share an give it back and she gets so excited to share everything with me, even if it is a soggy cracker.

3. My mom wears her out when she is watching her while I am at school. we don't have stairs really at our house  so my mom lets her crawl up the steps. But of course my mom is behind her all the time.

4. She cries when I take her out of her tub.

5.  She sucks on her thumb and then gets bored so she pulls up her foot and sticks her foot and thumb in her mouth at the same time.We might have a gymnastic girl on our hands.

6.  I taught her how to splash in the tub. So when I say "Splash" she really goes for it!! by the end of the bath almost all of the water is gone.and it looks like i have a little moby dick in the bathtub she sure is a white whale. 

7. When I read her a book I say turn the page and she turns the pages of the books when the page is done. She is a total bookworm. i put all toys on the floor but the thing she heads to first is a book.

8. She discovered how fascinating her tongue is!

9. When we hold out Evias Lamb aka "Lambie" she holds out her arms and when she finally grabs it she shoves it into her face and hugs it to her chest .She loves loves stuffed animals.

10. When she gets really excited she hyperventilates  she has been doing this since she was about five months old it is so cute.

11. She loves crawling but sticks her butt in the air when she crawls on the grass or on hardwood it is hilarious we call it the stink bug.

Musser Court Update!!

Okay a few days ago our landlord dstopped by and told us we needed to be out of our house  by July 24th!! Holy cow he told me that and I about had an anyurisim. But we convinced him to give us till the 30th. So we are definetly feeling the heat and the anxiety. So in a month we have to fix up the house , get aunt marilynn to move her stuff, move our stuff, and clean our old apartment. I am so overwehelmed I don't know what to do. Me and david are also going to school and he is also working we are so glad that david has a 5 day weekend for the fourth of july so sad to say our holiday will be a worka day. but here are some things we have done David ripped down the plaster in the bedroom, time is precious and sheet rock is alot easier to put up than wallpaper tear off. So here are the walls in the seagull room. We also took a gander in the garage and we found a few cool things.

Right now the rose room is our trash can because we keep filling up the garbage cans faster than we can empty them . and in the garage we looked around and we found some books of grandpas from the pharmacy that had water damage and it was so bad the book were rotted into one book.

I have a bright idea!!

Just so you know this tea pot does plug into a wall he he

I think the bathroom will either be blue or lime green apart from the kitchen this is the room I am most excited to paint. We are also putting white bead board on the bottom half it will be so cute.

Aunt Marilynn gave me and david great grandmas table and side tables they are very nice they just need to be stained again . these were some cool chairs in the garage. And the back lawn I weeded and I transplanted iris's and also bishops weed around the yard I can't wait to earn some money so I can get some flowers for the yard  we also want to paint the outside of the house a pretty brick red. I can't wait to have clean floors and painted walls!!

Happy First Fathers Day!!

 This morning was a special Day it was davids first fathers day I have been loooking forward to celebrating fathers day for david since I married him. I could not wait to make him breakfast and give him fun prizes. This  morning I made his favorite Biscuits and gravy with real butttermilk biscuits, over medium eggs and strawberries. I also found a cute card and a matching  bag me and my mom found at target thanks mom! Because on fathers day the big thing in the Berntsen family is the Father day tie!! as I will show you in a minute. But we were still pretty tired form the other  night we were up until 2 celebrating our almost 2 year anniversary. so He regrettably woke up but he got excited when he saw the food.

David got some fun prizes he got a car washing kit , a toolbox/carrier and a backpack for school. And for something extra special I made up a sweet powerpoint presentation for him on the laptop it had pictures of him and evia from the time she was born until now. I read tender things I had written outloud  as he went through the show and by the end we both had tears in our eyes. I love how my David can be so tender but also be a hard worker a true man. He told me  that was his favorite gift of all of them . 

It's a Surprise!!!!

Here are daddy and Evia looking at the slide show after these prizes I gave Davd  the famous fathers day tie. Now when my mum and dad were first married, they started this tradition which I am very happy to start with our family.Every fathers day we would each find something that represented a inside joke or something that represented my dad and we would glue it on a white tie . The first year we did it we scribbled on it and added glitter and beads but as we got older the tie became more elaborate. For Davids ti I put evias handprint on the back of the tie  her name and had her scribble. Then on the front I glued on a peice of motherboard because he loves tinkering with computers and usually the parts are lying in our living room. Then i put a sunshine on there because we call Evia our sunshine. I will expalin a few of  y favorite things i found a button that says Can't sleep clowns will eat me, My dad is deathly afraid of clowns and every time we see one we have to tease him . He loves fireworks so there is a firework on there  his favorite show is monty python and the holy grail so we have a shrubbery, the holy grail and the killer rabbit on there as well. He also loves a bargain and his favorite store is actually the salt lake swap meet where he can barter and bargain for good deals . there are many more memories aon that tie but it would take forever to explain them all. So we can say davids tie look pretty funny without all of the years of stuff on it but it will soon go from this to look like this....

After All of these years and Mequette  actually had to expand the tie to make room  for the grandkids and son in laws. this year the new additions were wall paper a  butterfly a seashell a rainbow a sunshine and something else I cannot remember. But after his prizes we wnet back to bed for a while and got ready to head over to paul and joanns for Davids birthday and fathers day celebration.

We brought two nummy cakes form costco a chocolate cake and a red velvet cake we have so many leftovers it is not even funny so we are taking the leftovers to davids work. But Rex got an icecream machine and made homemade icecream for all of us it was his dads caramel icecream recipe and boy was it to die for !! Evia even helped make the icecream.

Pretty uncanny how david matches his Exterra he he!!

So here is to you my Papsey and grandpa who  helped set the bar on what type of man I wanted to marry I remember watching my grandpa take care of my bed bound grandma  he loved and cared for her diligently and so lovingly every day until she passed away. And My mom and dad have been through so much together and When my sisters passed away my dad was the rock we all looked up to . Dad I am still your little girl and I love you just as much and of course I am still your favorite he he. But because of your wonderful influence I found the man I have always dreamed of and could ever ask for the lord has truly blessed me.David I cannot wait for the journey to eternuity. You have become more of a man  that i have dreamed of by becoming a father . and I am so greatful that you will be the preisthood holder who will be by my side on our journey together i love you and happy fathers day!!

Bathing Beauty

I might regret this later down the road but I taught Evia how to splash and she laughed her head off as she turned our bathroom into a swimming pool.  I think I need to invest  in bounty paper towels. I showed my mom the movie and she said  I was just like that. I was born a fish out of water and I am so glad that love for the water has been passed down to her. Be sure to look at my video bar  on this blog  I added   two funny videos of her one in the tub and one of her jabbering.

Now this picture I took before I took her out of the tub this is the saddest puppy face ever.
