Blah, blah blah....

that's what I feel I listened to at court last week!!!!! Anyway-everything has been moved to June 11th. E and D still have court ordered visits once a week and this last Thurs was their bonding assessment with the psych doc. Big load of whoopy that was.

Spencer is off to honor guard duty again next week in Santa Fe. We got to see him last weekend for about 3 days. Don't know when we will next see him!!!!

Hope everyone is doing great!!!! Lots of fun stuff planned for the summer-here we come!!!

I want to send a HUGE SHOUT OUT to EDDIE MORTENSEN and TIFF MILLETT!!!! They both graduated from EAC on 8th!!!! CONGRATS GUYS!!!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

Hello All!!!

Just a quick update - E is now pulling herself up to a standing position on anything she can get her hands one-legs, the vacuum cleaner, couches, tables, etc. We have seen her free standing a couple of times and she walks herself along the furniture. She will be doing it all by herself soon!

Spencer and I had our last meeting with the home study worker yesterday! Yea! So now she just has to finish typing up our home study and get some other paperwork from LDS Family Services. Now comes the waiting to see if we get certified again.

Off to court (again) on Thurs about Donavan-keep your fingers crossed and keep praying! We will let you know. E did get to see him 3 times during April and I got to see and talk to him twice-he is such a cutie!

Gotta go 4 now! Check out E's 9 month pick on the left side bar-in two days she will be 10 months old! TIME FLIES!!!!

Update on stuff

We had court again on April 6-long story short, visitations between E and Donavan are now court ordered. Once a week for the month of April, to have started last week. But the Williams were "unable" to cooperate with last weeks visit. AHHHHHHH! Anyway, still waiting to hear when this weeks will be.

E is now pulling herself up next to furniture and crawling everywhere! Soon she will be walking-mom is NOT ready for that!!!!! Still only two bottom teeth but chews on her pacifier like crazy!!! We are going to the zoo today with some of her cousins-I am so excited! I love the zoo!

Last week was crazy fun with 21 people including us staying at my in laws house. Lots of aunt, uncles and cousins to have crazy fun times with! We love you all!

Spencer is back in T or C. The adoption worker from CPS said the process should take about 4 months so I will have to be in Mesa most of that time for home study visits and stuff. :-( we don't like being away from our daddy.

We love you all! Gotta go-E is ready for a NAP!!!!!!

Update

So my sister Rachel got married on March 14th in the Mesa Temple. Evalynn and I got to hang out with all her Wright cousins and Nick's family. We even went bowling which was so much fun!

I tried to post a slideshow of pics from the wedding fun, but it didn't work. Will try again another time.

It is Spring Break here in T or C and Spencer is gone for three days. He is at Honor Guard training in Santa Fe. So my friend Davonna's kids are keeping me company. James is 7 and Lizzy will be 13 on the 30th.

Evalynn and I will be heading back to Mesa about the 30th. The bonding assessment for Donavan and Evalynn is on April 2nd and then we have court again on the 6th.

Evalynn and Spencer have both been sick. Spencer's was a 24 hour thing-Evalynn keeps gagging when she coughs so if there is anything in her tummy, up it comes! YUCK! She is having lots of fun with James and Lizzy.

Moving, Fiesta, and the Crib.

We are still moving stuff out of one house and into the other here. I think it is time for a yard sell.

One of Spencer's buddies from the academy invited us to a fiesta last weekend in a little town not far from here. We attended a short Catholic Mass (Evalynn bonked her head and screamed through most of it) and then we had all kinds of delicious Mexican foods and yummy desserts while we listened to a band play. Then Evalynn and Mom took a nap in the car while Daddy went to play with horses.

The Crib. Yes that is its name. Evalynn is way to big for a bassinet now so we are trying to transition her to her crib in her own room. At night I rock her to sleep and then put her in there and then she is fine until she wakes up and realizes she is alone. I give her a bottle and then comes the mad screaming and crying until she falls back to sleep herself (if you get her out of the crib she thinks it is time to be up). Last night she did VERY well after the 9:30 bought of crying. Right now she just fell asleep in her high chair.

Oh yea-Spencer is now the 2nd counselor in the Elder's Quorum and he has officially been permanately assigned to honor guard duty-which means he should get a lot of singing in.

Anutie Rachel gets married in two weeks in Mesa so we are looking for someone who would be willing to watch Evalynn on Friday, March 13th while I go to her endowment session and then on Sat March 15th for the wedding.

Any takers? There may be one other VERY cute little baby boy who will need a sitter to. You can see him in The 3 Amigos picture in the slideshow below.

Introducing...Sidney Jean!

This is our new neice-Miss Sidney Jean!!! She so cute and tiny (I think she weighed 5 lb 14 oz). We got to see her and love on her on our way back home from Mesa. Evalynn and I will be able to see her again in a week! YEA!!!!

The new arrival.
