On This Perfect Day...

Today is Aunt Kelli's birthday. Happy Birthday, Ka-Ka! My family and I celebrated her birthday on Sunday at Ted's. I loved the tortillas.

Even though I'm quite the chunk, I'm still starving. Look at the way I went after the tortillas. I just couldn't eat them quick enough.

Afterwards, we went to Nana and PawPaw's house for dessert.

When it comes to dessert, my family is very stingy and mean. They wouldn't share anything with me. That was not very nice, guys. Oh well, I love you all anyway.

I had so much fun playing with Aunt Kelli and Uncle Chris. Boy, do I love his hair!

Today, I got to eat lunch with Aunt Kelli and Nana. Mommy came along too. I had so much fun. Aunt Kelli, I hope you have a great birthday. I love you bunches! Love, Evie

Happy Birthday, Joy

Today is the birthday of the newest member of the Brown family. Joy or "Aunt Joy" as Evie calls her. Eliah, Evie's cousin, would have kept the title as the newest , but Joy beat him out when she married my brother-in-law Caleb this past June. She turns 21 today, and we all wish her a happy birthday.

Evie loves spending time with her Aunt Joy.

Evie loves her aunt and uncle. Happy Birthday, Joy. We love you. Have fun at the Melting Pot. I'm very envious.

Trick or Treat

Yesterday, Evie had her first taste of trick or treating. She couldn't decide which costume to wear so she tried them both on. She liked the pumpkin outfit,


but she really loved the flower costume.



We went to Nana and PawPaw's house to trick or treat,


and instead of candy Evie got her very first Gloworm. She loved it.


She also got to see Aunt Kelli and Uncle Chris, who brought candy for Mommy and Daddy and a Halloween sno-globe for Evie.



All in all, Evie had a blast trick or treating.

9 Months and Counting

Our little girl, who really isn't that little, celebrated her 9 month birthday not very long ago. It is so incredible how fast the time flies. I feel like each day she is learning something new. We had a doctor appointment this week, and our suspicions were confirmed. Josh and I have a very, very healthy daughter. At 9 months, Evie weighs 21 lbs. 10 oz. and is 29 3/4 in. long. She's a big girl, and we love her!

Fall Festivities

On Sunday, our family went to Chester's Pumpkin Patch for our community group. As you can see, everyone especially Evie had fun.

Evie was not only excited to get a pumpkin, but she also wanted to eat it.

She spent the day feeding the animals with her friend, Kaelyn,

Riding on a saddle,

walking through a mystery maze,

and sliding down a huge slide.

All in all, it was a great day.

Our Little Wiggle Wart

Today when I went to get Evie up from her second nap, this is how I found her.

I don't have any idea how she got to this spot, but it was too funny to pass up capturing. Oh, how we love our little wiggle wart!

Our Trip to Pennsylvania

Here are the pictures I promised. Isn't Pennsylvania beautiful this time of year?

This was Pepaw's first time to see Evie.

Pepaw and Evie both enjoyed a good nap together.

Evie found a new friend to play with at her Pepaw's house.

If you count me taking the above picture, there are four generations here.

Evie received her first set of wings. She did so well on the flight there and back. Here she is just about to see her Daddy after 3 days in Pennsylvania.
