Swing Time!

It's FINISHED!!! Justin was finally able to work on Mya's swingset last weekend and got it finished. It's amazing, he does good work. I feel so lucky to have such a handy man around the house! How does Mya like it?...She LOVES it!!! Tonight she was probably on it for over an hour. 40 minutes straight just on her swing once we got home tonight. It's so fun and is just another step that just adds to making our home feel like 'ours.'

"Dad, Please?"

I may have already told some of you this, but I don't want to forget it. We've been teaching Mya to say please lately and she's picking it up pretty good. After doing this for a couple of days, we were sitting down at dinner and Justin had his phone out texting someone back. Mya was sort of whining for the phone, but we both ignored her until I heard, "Dad...Please?" She said it so cute and of course she got the phone. Another day we were driving up the road and she wanted her juice so I reminded her to say please and gave it to her. About 5 minutes later, Justin and I were talking and then I heard, "Juice Please." I just can't believe how much she understands and she's just so big to me every day. The last one was that same night afer we got home. It was after 10:30 and Mya went and sat in her chair in the family room, grabbed her baby, juice, blanket and the movie Barnyard's DVD case, looked and Justin and pointed to the TV and said, "Please?" Justin was a push over so Mya was up until almost 11:15 (her bedtime is 8:30) watching that movie. Her eyes were so glazed over watching it because she was so tired, so I was the party pooper and said she had to go to bed before the movie was over. I'm pretty proud of her for picking this up, though!

Dancing Queen

Sorry, it's sideways. I can turn it on my phone, but I can't figure out how to turn it on the computer. But, I had to share, she's so fun!

Park City Get Away

A few years ago all of the girls in my family started going to Park City once a year. We get a hotel for a night and the first day we just go swimming and hang out.

After swimming, Mya and Zoe were a little cold, so we let them swim a little longer in some warm water.
We always take Papa Murphy's pizza and cook that up there and that night we threw a shower for Rebecca then watched the Bachelorette. Mya and Zoe had fun on their own...

I'm just glad it wasn't our toilet paper!
Such a good mom! Mya never leaves a baby behind when we go somewhere and she's always making sure it's taken care of.


The next morning after all 20 girls were ready, we headed out and did some shopping at the outlets. I got some way cute stuff for Mya with great deals! Way fun. Then we all went to lunch at the Baja Cantina.

Afterwards most of the girls went down the alpine slide, but Mya, Zoe and Ella rode the merry-go-round.
That was the longest ride I have ever been on and Mya was scared the entire time! I had to hold onto her so I was going up and down with the animals. She only cried a little at first, but then I got her to tough it out to the end. Maybe next year won't be so scary for her!
