Cute little monkey!

Chips and salsa, one of her favorite things to eat!

Cute little monkey! I have been singing that monkey's on the bed song with her and she loves it. She likes to grab her head when I say "they fell off and broke their head" :)

She is so funny, oh man she makes us laugh all the time!

Here's story time, we do this every night before she goes to bed as a family.

She loves shaking her head yes now, and we will ask her if she wants to read books and her eyes get bigger than normal and she shakes her head yes!!!! We let her pick the books she wants to read and she is in heaven the whole time we read!

Look how cute she is with daddy just reading her baby bible...one of her favorite books.

She thought this game while putting on her pj's was pretty funny, she was laughing so hard! We usually get lots of giggles before bed.

Love her smile!

We love brushing teeth before bed and in the morning! I have to help her or else she just likes to suck the water and toothpaste off of the brush. She loves doing this though which is good since she has 13 teeth!! Her uncle Brandon who's our dentist would be so proud!

I actually caught her the other day dipping her tooth brush in Louie's water and then sticking in her mouth......YUCK!

My little brother Brady has a house in the avenues in SLC that he is refinishing. I am in LOVE with it! We took Mya over there to check it out since it's almost done. If I had 1.2 million dollars I would buy it in a heartbeat!

She loves laughing at grandpa!

Grandpa's and grandma's are the greatest! When they are around Mya pretty much ignores us and thinks they are way cooler!

Coloring!

I love when she colors, this is honestly how she loves to do it. Laying on the ground, it is so cute!

That purple blanket off to the side is the one she's in love with. She likes to have all the time. It's a winter blanket but she's wanted it with her all summer long :)

This is her face after she tried to eat the crayon.....yuck!

She also loves our new rug, it's really shaggy and soft. She likes to lay on it a lot!

There's those big blue eyes we love so much!

This is the kind of stuff Mya and I do all day long. We have been going on a lot of walks which is nice. We miss Nick because he is gone so much with school and work but he is usually able to squeeze a night walk in with us! We read lots of stories and run errands, she likes the car wash. She waves to everyone at the grocery store and last time I had the cashier tell me she should be in commercials because she is so pretty! Lol everyone loves her! We try and practice walking. She likes to go upstairs and visit Grandma and the dogs. We have fun!

Mya, Mya, Mya

I have lots of mini finger nail polishes and she loves playing with them. This is how she carries things when she crawls....in the mouth!

My mom bought Mya her first baby doll! It is a cabbage patch with a frow of curly blonde hair just like Mya's! Her name says it is Sheryl Pearl and she's from Georgia, it came with an adoption certificate and all....lol so cute!

This is Mya showing me where her eye is because I asked her. So smart, Amy she definately got the big brain from you! It's good cause it matches Nick's! I feel a little lacking in that area :)

She loves hugging and kissing her baby! She is so nice, I love it!

This is Mya at a model home we were looking at. It is the house we are looking to build.......so exciting!

She had so much fun crawling all over the place and walking from furniture piece to furniture piece.

When I stop to get a drink at McDonalds I always have to get her a water in the same kind of cup as me so she thinks she's getting what I have!

Here she is playing with her toys, she knows how to put all those bright colored shapes in that lid exactly where they go! She is such a smarty pants!

If you push her pony's ear he talks and sings, she knows how to make him do that now. She likes it when he sings and she pushes his ears over and over. :)

This is her favorite car. She plays with it everyday. She walks all over the house with this thing.

Her favorite thing  to do right now is chase Louie with the car, he runs and barks and she screams and laughs!

Lol look that this funny face I caught!

If you will notice all the necklaces that she has around her neck, she is the one that puts them on. It's so funny she loves having like 10 on at the same time! She is such a girl!

She has also learned how to get on and off her car, it's pretty funny to watch.

Her seat also opens up and she loves storing anything she finds in there. If anything is ever missing we go straight for the seat in her car and it's usually there! Never a dull moment we sure LOVE her!

Aquarium

Mya and Cooper just getting to the Aquarium.

They look so excited......

Just chillin by some fish.

This was the coolest sting ray I have ever seen!

Here is a 13 foot Anaconda snake......this one gave me the creeps!!!!!

Britt came up from Provo to go to the aquarium with us. We were supposed to meet Carly and the kids there but Mya's nap went longer and of course I forgot my phone so when we got there we weren't able to find them. :( I am sure we'll go back! Mya loved the sea turtle, I held her up to the glass and he kept swimming by. She would point to him and say her signature 'WOW". They had baby sharks, an octopus and baby penguins. It was pretty cool. I think Britt and I were more entertained than the babies but it was well worth the trip. I love being a stay at home Mom so I can do fun stuff like this with Mya! Britt came by to see our new apartment and then we went to Schlotzskys Deli for lunch, one of our families favorite places to eat!

Visiting Aunt Brooke

We love and miss Brooke!

Here's the flowers we took to Brooke. Aren't they so cute!

She loved the flowers, they were spinning in the wind.

Mya giving her kisses....she was being so sweet!

Since we've moved into the Jarrett's basement apartment we have been thinking a lot about Brooke. She is the one that lived here before we did. So I have always thought of it as her apartment. We really miss her!! I did not get to spend near as much time with her as I would have liked. She was always so cute with Carly's kids and I wish more that anything that we could have seen her interact with Mya here. We decided to take some flowers out to her. I found that darling little rain boot vase that reminded me of her, she is just spunky and fun and I think she would have liked it! We filled it with flowers and headed out to her grave. This experience at the cemetery was special for us.  We got there and I had been telling her that we were going to see Brooke. We got out of the car and I said "hi Brooke" Mya immediately turned towards Brooke's grave and started waving. Then she started making kissing sounds, it was more than evident that she knows her Aunt Brooke. It was so sweet it brought me to tears. I am so thankful for the sealing power that binds us together as families forever!
