Papa and Julia

My Dad came and stayed with Julia for a week, to help us out while our daycare lady was gone on vacation. He was hoping to do more fishing than he did, but one night on Jared's boat and he got quite a few fish!

Just A "Few" Randoms

Things have been busy at the Bevill house! Getting ready for another move, closing on our house, packing, painting, cleaning.... Mobile we will see you soon! Sorry I have been slacking on the blog, I promise to do better.

The Never Ending 2nd B-Day

Julia celebrated her 2nd Birthday pretty much the entire month.  She had 2 birthday cakes and also cupcakes!  I got her a cake to have the night of her actual Birthday, but Jared didn't come home till late so we put it off to another day. I made her a cake and cupcakes for her party, but we never got around to doing the actual cake after we let the kids decorate the cupcakes.  She got to blow out candles twice and had a never ending supply of presents coming in the mail.  She would say every time we brought anything in that it was her "presnents".

Cooking With Julia Bevill

On the menu: Grapes slightly salted....
I am playing catch up today with the blog. I always am the one talking about how the rest of my family is so far behind on the blogs and I am guilty as well.  Julia loves her kitchens and loves to ask for orders and make you whatever it is you want.

New House

 

For thoes of you who don't know we are moving to Mobile Alabama this summer.  The Coast Guard has brought us right back to where we were 2 years ago, and I will add where Jared and I met and where Julia was born...  I will be stationed at the Aviation Training Center medical clinic in Mobile and Jared will be at Station Dauphin Island.  Julia will be attending Life's Church of Mobile Child Care Center, which is located one street over from my clinic. We have been looking for a house to buy in Mobile, we made a trip to see some that we had picked out from the computer.  We found a house that suits us perfectly!  Here is the first picture of many to come...

First Family Bike Ride

We decided to get some bikes, and start being more active. I was really excited about getting bikes, and exercising again and together. BUT I was a bit hesitant at first about getting a helmet, but Jared told me he didn't want to be the one to make the final decision when I get a brain injury on when to pull the plug on me.... so i agreed to get the helmet and wear it to set a good example for my daughter. Besides I'm 30 now, who am I trying to look cool for?  Last time I wore a helmet I was in 5th grade.................

When the helmet thing first became popular in our town I was in 5th grade and had just attended the bike rodeo at Garfield School.  My Mom made me get a helmet, I'm not sure why.... guess so she wasn't the only Mom not making her kids wear them. So none of my other friend had to wear them either before this.  I was dating a boy named Eric Kutchery and everyone referred him at "helmet" because he always had to wear one while we grew up.  As you can see I have deep rooted issues with this... My Mom took me and my little sister out and got us plain white helmets, she told us we could pick out stickers to decorate them. I guess this was to make the whole idea cool. I picked "BUGS" like not Bugs Bunny, like crawling in nature bugs! The first day that I went to ride my bike with my new helmet, I decided it wasn't for me and hid it in the bushes. After that I decided I just wouldn't ride my bike if I had to wear it.  True story.
