The wedding.....


I love my baby brother Codie!!!
Check out me and Britt we're twinners!
This was at Codie's wedding 5/26/2012! Mya really loves my bro!
Mya and I had to walk down the isle with Paislee because she was scared. But for Mya she will do anything!
They had a candy bar and Mya loved playing with the huge pixie stick!
Don't worry we didn't feed her any of this....she already has enough energy!
Here's Paislee drinking her root beer! I love this picture! Mya's blue eyes don't look so out of place when Paislee is around.
Mya looked beautiful in her dress, it was a little big she is so tiny!! We got her some new earrings and everything!
Mya and Cooper! Cooper looked fly in his little man suit.
Here's Derek (of course) hanging Paislee in front of the babies! He is one crazy fun uncle!
I still can't believe my baby brother is married! :'( The reception was beautiful and we got to eat lots of yummy food!

Food, food and more food!

Mmmmmm popcorn!
We gave her popcorn for the first time on Sunday and I am not kidding she went crazy! I think we could have given her the whole bowl and she would have ate it all herself!
So cute she was just feeding herself before church!
Here she is with ham fried rice, she loves that too!
Another one of her favorite foods is cheese! This girl would eat cheese all the time if I let her.
After she eats cheese we find it everywhere, it's usually stuck to her body and under her little fat rolls under her chin.
This girl loves her food!
This is what happens when Grandma gives her licorice
She LOVED it. I tried to take it from her and I don't think I have seen her throw that bad of a tantrum....ever.
Grandma gave her the licorice before we left to go to the cemetery on Memorial Day. This picture is what I found when I opened the door to get her out. She had red EVERYWHERE including on her legs and between her toes. This picture doesn't do the mess she made justice! It probably took 12 wipes to get her all cleaned off. That night I had to really scrub her toes in the bath cause they were still red. We laughed so hard I was crying!

An awesome visit!

 Everyone keeps complementing her tan from our vacations. In this picture I am thinking hmmm what tan! :)
Look how cute you two are!
Mya will be beautiful when she grows up if she looks anything like you!
It was so great to see you!
I feel like Mya makes this same face all the time!
Oh my goodness you are to die for cute!! You look so much like little Mya it is darling!!!
Your hair in these pics is my favorite! I love your hair just as much then as I do now!
Today Mya was 10 months old. It is so crazy to think how fast time has flown by! You are already done with a full year of school and headed to West Point and Mya is talking and crawling!!  We are getting ready to go through this whole process again once Mya turns 1. She needs some siblings, she will be a great, sweet oldest sister.....just like I always was ;) jk It was so fun to have you come and see us. We know it's a long drive and we appreciate you making the trip down. You make sure to let us know if you ever want us to come up your way, we will in a heartbeat! Tell your mom thanks again for that sweet angel she gave us, those are my favorite and it meant a lot! We think about you and your family all the time. We love you!!!

St George

Swimming in St George! Mya is seriously in love with the water we had so much fun swimming!
Lol here is Cooper looking like a blob just like we told you! He was so cute!
Our favorite thing was when she would dive off the side of the pool to us. She was making us laugh so hard!
Mya flying through the air!
This is Mya getting thrown in the air....Nick loves these pics!
We did a lot of lounging around at the condo...it was awesome!
Mya at the St George temple
She loves bubbles. Cooper was deathly afraid of them.
The St George temple has always been one of my favorites
Mya likes to bite Nick's nose
Oh so cute!!
Me, Nick, Mya, Cooper, Britt & Derek. We had so much fun!!

California

Getting ready to go to Cali for Ashley's (Nick's sister) graduation. She graduated from Sonoma State May 12.
Doesn't she look so dang cute!
Here's Mya in the hotel room!

We went to this amazing beach called Bodega Bay...where the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" was filmed.
This beach was so beautiful and the weather was great!
We had to hike down to the beach, there were big rock cliffs all around it was so awesome!
This was taken from the parking lot before we hiked down.
Mya and Grandma have so much fun together!
Here we are on the beach.....too bad the water was so cold, it made me wanna swim!
This is Nick's favorite picture, and Mya's favorite thing to do!
Mya's favorite part of the vacation just may have been swimming! She was so cute in the water and she loved it!
She had a constant smile the whole time!
She was kicking and splashing.....it was so cute!
Splash, Splash!!

She also kept dipping her face in the water trying to drink it like a dog!
These two are so cute!!! I love them both!!

Mya had so much fun with Bailee at the graduation. Bailee was able to keep her entertained almost the entire 3 hours that we were there! Thank heavens for her, she is a wonderful cousin to Mya!
Sonoma State's campus is so beautiful. Graduation was outside so we just walked Mya around and hung in the shade. It was a lot of fun! She even got to see some ducks in the lake!
This is a big lake on the campus.
Nick, Tiff and Ashley! This made Nick so excited to graduate this fall!
We had a blast in California with Nick's family!!! It was great to see Ashley and be able to be there for her big day of graduation! I got my first pedicure...which I loved! Mya got to ride on a plane again which I was so nervous about since our Hawaii plane ride wasn't much fun! But she did great both ways she just played and slept on our laps. I take every chance I can get for her to snuggle up with me and fall asleep....cause she is so crazy it doesn't happen much! Holding her sleeping little bum on the plane was one of my favorite parts of the trip! Mya just sort of rolls with whatever, she got way off her schedule but she had so much fun she didn't even notice. We took her in the pool for the first time and she was a blast! We ate at a ton of different local places, they had great food! Nick's family is always fun to vacation with. They are always happy and we do lots of new things that I have never done before...we love it! We don't get to see Ashley much either and so that was fun to be able to spend some time with her. We're hoping she'll move back to Utah for awhile. Oh yeah Mya even came home with a little tan, she has such beautiful skin! All in all Cali was a blast!! Mya is getting 2 teeth right now which will make 8 teeth so she has not been the happiest baby this week and here we go again today to St George for the weekend with Brittney Derek and Cooper.....hopefully she does ok! I think we will pretty much live in the pool which will make her happy :)
