Bath Time!


Every baby needs bath pictures!

Hanging Out

Mya was so good to just hang out on the grass while Justin and I did yard work yesterday. We did have to watch her close though since she kept trying to eat the grass!

Bloopers

These ones didn't turn out as good...but I thought they were funny!

Saying Hi!


Mya's waving now! Every time we say "hi Mya" she'll wave her little arm. It's so cute!

Park City Weekend

My family has started a tradition where once a year all of the girls (mom, sisters, and nieces) go to Park City to play and shop! It was way fun having a girls weekend. The funny thing is the boys in my sister Michelle's family went camping and her oldest son, Jake (13), said that maybe he wanted to go to Park City and his littlest brother, Caden (5), said, "You want to go with the girls and paint your nails and talk about your feelings?" It was really funny. So even though we didn't paint our nails, we did have a lot of fun!
Lunch at the Baja Cantina

"Shop 'til you drop" sounds a little appropriate here

Hanging Out At The Hotel

Mya got tons of attention in Park City! The girls just couldn't leave her alone! Mya of course ate it up! She Loves attention!

Mya and Zoe just waking up and playing with each other. We had to watch them because they'd try to grab each other's faces or hair, though!

Family Sleep Over


Saturday night we had a "sleep over" in our family room. Our air conditioner wasn't working, so we slept in the coolest room in the house. Luckily, we got it fixed and it's working now. I'm sooo thankful we live in a time where we can have air conditioning!

Our Anniversary At Clear Creek

Yesterday was our 2 year anniversary. Justin planned the weekend to go camping at Clear Creek where he goes hunting. I'll have to admit, my expectations were pretty low for the weekend. All I remembered about the area was a lot of sagebrush. I didn't remember a lot of trees or anything pretty up there. Also, the week before, Justin went deer scouting up there with one of his friends. When they got back, they were showing me on their video camera the deer they had seen. After a little while of watching this, it starts showing a mountain lion, and the next thing was a rattle snake. Yeah, this didn't really help make the trip sound better. But we still went and I loved it!


First of all, the area was completely different than I expected. The campground up there was so pretty with the trees and we camped right next to the creek. It was actually a really peaceful spot. On Saturday morning, we got up at 5:30 and 4 wheeled up to the top of the mountain where Justin hunts to look at the deer and see the sunrise. It was actually really fun. I was nervous to see a rattle snake the whole time, but luckily never did! We saw quite a few deer, a fox, and yes, even a mountain lion! It was pretty cool and not scary like I thought it would be. We only saw it for about 30 seconds before it went into the trees. That night we went to dinner in Snowville at this small-town restaurant. It was way fun. Our friends from our ward were actually up there with us. They were planning on camping the same weekend we were, and all of the places they went to were full, so they came up with us. It was fun sitting aroud the campfire with them and playing games. Sunday we were going to wake up early again, but we were so tired that after we woke up at 5:15, Justin decided we could just go back to bed. We did go on a ride later that day to a different area. It was such a fun weekend and so nice to get away! Thanks Love for planning it and Kevin and Randee for coming up with us. We had way fun!

Mya At Lisa's


At work the other day, Mya was in Megan's room exploring her toys. When Lisa walked in, Mya had one of Megan's baby's bottles in her mouth sucking on it. It was way cute!

Mya is very comfortable at Lisa's house since she is there with me every day at work. When Justin and I went away for the weekend camping, we decided to leave her at Lisa's since she is so familiar with Lisa's house and nothing would seem strange to her. If we were going to be gone for a couple of days, we wanted Mya to be as comfortable as possible. She actually did really good there and Lisa said Mya didn't even seem to care we were gone. Thanks Lisa for making Mya feel at home and taking care of her! It was way hard leaving her and I was way excited to see her again when we got home. She fell asleep on the way home and when she woke up at our house, she looked around, stared at me, and started crying. She better not have been crying because she missed Lisa! But at least that way I knew she had fun at Lisa's.
