Dance Class














I finally got the chance to sit and watch Brynn dance during her class. Her teacher only allows the parents to come and watch one class a month and I am usually running errands while she dances so I don't get the opportunity to watch very often. She did such a great job and she gets to tap dance for her second performance this year. The song is so cute...it is like an upbeat version of Humpty Dumpty. I loved watching her dance!

Too Much Love?


Kay...so what can I say about Landen? I have a hard time putting what I want to say into words. I did not have ANY clue that he would react to a new baby like he has. I expected him to like her and then maybe eventually get jealous and not want much to do with her...but I was WRONG! He is so in love with her, it can be annoying at times. He is CONSTANTLY in her face, rubbing her head, giving her "loves", he does that cute little baby talk to her and is just always THERE. I get mad at him sometimes because when she is asleep he still has to touch her and love on her. But I have to admit it is cute. For example, today at church we were having one of those days and in sacrament the kids were driving us crazy. My friend, Cinda was sitting behind us and I think she heard me tell Tyler that I was about to go INSANE! I guess I was talking louder than I thought. So she offered to take the baby so that we could deal with our other kids. Well Landen was in my lap and he was the one being naughty, and once I gave Mya to Cinda, he freaked out. He just had to keep his eyes on her the whole time. If I would shift him or try and move him and he couldn't see her, he would get mad. And then he kept trying to reach behind the pew and touch her while Cinda was holding her. Then he just got out of my lap and sat on the pew backwards just watching Cinda with Mya. Cinda was laughing and said that he had not taken his eyes off of her the whole time. I told her that is how he is ALL the time. If she is in the carseat with the cover over it, he has to move it so he can see her. He even has a little nickname for her, Babers...don't know where he got that from. I do have to say that Mya will always have her biggest fan as her big brother!

Still Happy




Yesterday Mya had pretty much stayed up all day long with a few cat naps and one long nap in the afternoon. I thought she would be getting really sleepy when ten o'clock rolled around but she was in such a good mood, just happy as can be. She loved it when Tyler would rub her gums. She has been drooling a lot lately...but it is too early for her to be teething...right?

2 Month Pictures




Can't believe she is two months old!

We Love this Little Girl









Mya is definitely going to be SPOILED rotten. We just all can't get enough of her. She is such a sweet baby. She is starting to sleep better at night, so we are happier. She is so patient with the kids as they are tugging on her while they are fighting to hold her and constantly in her "personal space." She is so sweet!

Saturday Basketball












Saturday basketball is here again. Peyton really enjoys basketball. He did great stealing the ball and passing and dribbling last Saturday. He didn't make any shots but did great anyway!

Sweet Little Mya

















Mya is getting to be so fun. She is sleeping better at night (so I am happier) and she is starting to smile and laugh. She is focusing more, so when she sees me she just starts smiling so big. I love it! It makes everything worth it, to see her little smile!

Moms and Muffins



I enjoyed going to moms and muffins with Peyton this year. I love that he wants to learn to read so well and wants to meet his reading goal every month. He wants to do well and I love that about him. I enjoyed going and eating breakfast and we read and tested on two books. It was a great morning!

Big Brothers


These boys sure love their little sister. They asked me to take a picture of them kissing her. Like I mentioned before these kids have to constantly pat her head, or give her a kiss, or grab her little hands. We were in church today and Tyler was trying to put Mya to sleep and Landen kept reaching over wanting to touch her. I was watching and I never even counted to ten before Landen would reach over to try and touch her again. We kept getting on to him because he would wake her up everytime he touched her. But it was like he wasn't even thinking about it...if she is near he has to give her a "love." So sweet!

Mya's One Month Old!!


Little Helper




All the kids have been such great helpers with baby Mya. Brynn especially loves to hold her on the couch while I am cooking dinner (or blogging) or doing something around the house. Most of the time she puts her to sleep even when Mya is fussy. She is such a great "mom" and I love watching my kids taking care of their little sister.
