Update on Tim

I just wanted to put up some recent pictures of Tim! He's crawling around everywhere and talks up a storm! He is so cute!

I'm so glad that I still get to watch this cute little bear!

Ugly Betty Party

This past weekend we had an Ugly Betty party with our friends, the Herringtons. We saved the last Ugly Betty episode to watch together and party it up! We dressed up as characters from the show and it was hilarious.

Josh was Marc St. James and I was Amanda Tannen Sommers:

Mary was Hilda Suarez and Jake was Bobby!:

Pretty sweet, right? lol. We thought so. If you haven't seen the show look it up and watch it because it's awesome!! They have it on netflix. And we couldn't have done all of this without eating...TACOS!!! But we didn't just have tacos. We went ALL out and had corn cake, empanadas, and flan! Everything was sooooo delicious!

My flan fell apart when we tried to flip it over...I swear it still tasted good! My favorite thing were the empanadas though. Mary made them and I've been craving them ever since the party!

Thanks to the Herringtons and Ugly Betty for an awesome ending to our day and the show! 



Bevell Family Reunion

Grandma and Grandpa Bevell's 50th Anniversary was this August. ALL of the Bevell's came! All 12 kids with all of their children. It was so awesome! Uncle David took family pictures for all of us. It was so fun to have everyone together. We did pictures on Friday and Saturday we had a dinner.  It all turned out really good. My 12 aunts and uncles (plus dad) did this neat alphabet thing where there went around saying something they learned from their mom and dad starting with their letter of the alphabet. It was really cool and funny to hear what everyone had to say. Then we watched an awesome slide show that Uncle Justin made. Grandpa Bevell even said a few words afterwards...which had everyone in tears. I love having such a large family! Thanks Grandma for having so many babies!



taking pictures in front of the "bed pan." lol



All their children with their spouses.





I love my sisters!



The Little Elf

I think he looks like a really cute elf! :)

 

Birthday with the McDonalds

The McDonald's also had a little birthday dinner for me.  Debbie and Russ were out of town on my actual birthday so they made it up to me! It was really nice of them. Alix even made me a cake! It was really fun and I love them!



Harry Potter

Yes, we saw Harry Potter!! I was SO excited to go see it.  Josh and Jacob went with me. We didn't go to the midnight showing but we did go the next day (Friday).  I LOVED the movie! I thought they did a very good job. To show my spirit I wore Gryffindor colors :D

I'm 20!

Yes, it's true I'm not a teenager anymore. Sad, right? I think so. But cool too! My birthday was the best this year! Chelsea and momma Steed took me out for a day of shopping! It was really funny because when Chels came to the door to get me she surprised me by putting a princess crown on my head! I had to wear it while we shopped.

It was such a fun day! We went to the fashion show mall. And we had a delious lunch at the Red Velvet Cafe. Thank you Chelsea and Momma! I love you guys so much! You're the best!

Then after shopping we went back to their house where I changed into my new clothes and waited for Josh to pick me up.  Josh came and we left to go to the car where he gave me the cutest gift back with some of my favorite things! I didn't know what he had planned so it was a surprise.  He said I had to clost my eyes for part of the way. We started driving and he said he had some time to spare so we stopped at Kohls to shop a little. Then we left and I kept my eyes close...Aaaaannd surprise!! We arrived at my parents house where family and friends were waiting for us! It was so awesome! Both grandparents came, Justin and Rachel with their kids, Bayley and Spencer, Daren Stewart with his kids and Chelsea! lol Chelsea played it off well that she had no idea what Josh had planned.  Mom made cafe rio pork with their house dressing and it was SO GOOD. And of course she made my favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream cake!

It was so smokey!

We opened presents...

Joe's awesome gift of jewelry and ONE pixie stick. That made me laugh lol

Ben gave me Shockers!

Mom gave me cute shoes I wanted

And BIG surprise!! Josh and Mom and Dad got me a sewing machine!!
I was SO happy! And Grandma Grossman got me a bunch of assecories for it.

Overall it was such a good day! I got to spend it with people I love. Plus good food! ;)

Huntington Beach and Sunburns

So, a week before Josh and left Las Vegas for good ol' Provo...we went on a five day vacation to California with my family! It was SO much fun! The beach was amazing and we ate somewhere good every night! The fighting and arguing between my siblings was kept to a minimum so it wasn't bad. lol. They behaved pretty well.  Josh and I shared a room with Melissa and everyone else was in another room. We mainly went to our favorite beach, Huntington.  We went there Thursday and Saturday. Friday we went to San Clamente...WARNING don't ever go there! It sucked. Really. Tons of nasty seaweed in the water and the sand was full of rocks. Not fun. Saturday came and we were happily back at Huntington.  Josh and I had been careful to put enough sunscreen on everyday. But this day we were out at the beach a lot longer than we had been before. Did we think to re apply the sunscreen? No. So, we paid for it with pain.  Josh was burned a lot worse than I was but it still hurt! Now you can enjoy all the fun pictures!

At Shaky's Pizza!

Joe boogie boarding!

Digging in the sand

I remember when Melissa was baby...she LOVED to play
in the sand. And look! She still does! lol

We buried dad! Ha!

Josh being weird. lol

Fun times! Josh peeled like a snake shedding it's skin. But i'll spare you the visuals. ;)
