We Heart Mya!

Weekend Trip

This robot would spell whatever word you wanted it too.

You could pull yourself up on this pulley and let go

This glass would distort your image...Landen looked funny!

The skeleton would mimic your actions on this bike (the kids could see what their bones were doing when they pedal a bike)

Since this last weekend was a long weekend, we decided to take the kids up to Boise and get a hotel room and let them swim. We drove up Friday and we went to this Discovery Museum for a couple of hours. It was really neat. The kids and Tyler and I really enjoyed ourselves. They had all kinds of cool things to look at and do. After the museum we went to the Olive Garden (Yum!) and then to our hotel. The kids swam for awhile and then some more the next morning. We shopped a little bit and headed home. It was a good little mini-vacation and the kids had a blast!

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!
