Updates from the Lewis family

Every now and then I have a post that is so random and disjointed that I have a difficult time finding a title for it. It seems like lots of interesting things might happen within the span of a week, but none of them are related at all. This is that post. You have been warned.

Lets start with the dead mouse in my wall. Mike put out poison a few weeks ago and it would seem that something ate some poison and promptly crawled into the wall in our guest bathroom where it died. So many things disturb me about this scenario. How did a mouse get in the wall? Is it really a mouse or something worse? Is this going to be an ongoing problem? How concerned should I be if Mike busted through the wall and we can't find a dead body but we still smell something terrible? What will I do when I have teenage girls at my house for disciple now and have a stinky and wall-less bathroom this weekend? A plumber is coming in the morning to rule out a sewer problem. Cross your fingers that we find the origin of the stench.

Carter made a set of jumbo ears last week in Sunday School. He loves them. They talked about listening to God, and this was their craft. That same day, we saw a mouse in the house (a recurring theme, unfortunately) while Mike was at work. We were both pretty freaked out, so he put his large ears on so the mouse would think that he was an elephant and leave him alone. Pretty smart if you ask me.

Evyn is just getting sweeter and sweeter. She is big time into giving kisses right now. She opens her mouth in a perfect little circle and gives you a big wet kiss right on the lips then laughs and laughs. It melts my heart every time. She can also say "cack cack" for duck, mama, dada, ni-ni (night night) and is starting to do some basic sign language. She is cutting her third tooth and still taking a few steps every now and then. She is all girl and we are all pretty smitten with her.

We had a battle of the sexes pep rally at school and all the girls wore pink and the boys wore blue. I thought it was appropriate to borrow some of Evyn's bows for the day. This just might be the only picture ever taken of the two of us in matching dog ears.

Apparently Carter helped Mike with his laundry while I was at work on Friday.

Mike snapped this picture this morning through the kitchen window. He looks so sweet in his Blues Clues slippers happily blowing bubbles on a Sunday morning.

And last but not least, Mike bought me a new car! At the risk of sounding completely materialistic, I LOVE IT! It is an 06 Yukon with leather interior, navigation, DVD player, sunroof, heated seats, you name it. A huge shout out goes to Cars and Trucks Out West (aka Quilty Chick's husband) in Snyder for getting us the hookup! Thank you, Doc. I am one happy girl.

I guess that is all of the big news for this week! Sorry for the random nature of this post, but it was all too good to leave out!
