Happy Birthday Brooke!

 Yesterday (October 6) was Brooke's birthday, she would be 32 years old. We miss her so much! We decided to take Mya out to the cemetery to visit her grave. It was really chilly and Mya was not sure what to think of the cold wind. We bundled her up in her new jacket and had a good time.  It was fun to tell her a little bit about where that part of her name came from. Brooke was a really great Aunt and we are both sad that she isn't here to enjoy Mya with us right now. On the way back she was so tired and it didn't take too long before she was sleeping like a baby....literally!!! She is such a sweet little baby!

Mya's first trip to Sundance

Sunday after conference we decided to take a drive up Provo Canyon to get out of the house for a bit. We ended up at Sundance. It was such a nice day not to cold or too hot and the leaves were really colorful and pretty! We put Mya in her little backpack and carried her around. She loved it!! By the time we were done she was sound asleep in the carrier....so cute! We are really excited to take her on hikes and stuff this spring and also when we go to Hawaii. :) She loves being outside, if she is crying all I have to do is walk outside and she stops, it's pretty funny! Not sure what we are gonna do when it's too cold to do that!

A little update!

I got her all dressed up to go to dinner! We went with my mom and my sister while the boys were at Priesthood! The waiter was in love with Mya, it was funny!

Mya, Dad and Louie watching conference! 

We had a really great conference weekend. Nice and relaxing!! It was crazy for us to be watching with Mya....she is usually what we were praying for while watching. To have her there and know that our prayers had been answered was just an amazing experience. It was fun to take Mya to Sundance and it was really nice to have an extra girl for girls night! No matter where we take her people are always stopping us saying how beautiful she is and how much they love her hair!! She has more hair than some 1 year old babies. It just keeps getting longer. It is also sort of getting a mind of it's own.....hopefully that means it will get curly!! She is starting to talk really loud. She smiles at everything. We are trying really hard to get a laugh out of her, but it hasn't quite happened yet. She is still sleeping 8 hours through the night. We got her a humidifier that we leave on in her room always and it is helping her skin a lot. It even projects stars on the ceiling when she sleeps. She is fitting in some of her 3 month clothing already....so crazy! It is still a bit big but it's fitting a lot better than her newborn stuff. Last Sunday when Mya was 10 weeks old my little sister had 10 weeks to go before her baby gets here. Mya is about to have a new little buddy! We cannot wait!!!! We can't wait for you to meet our families, they are so awesome. They ask about you all the time. :) Nick just finished with midterms yay!!! I go back to work in a little over a week.....I am NOT looking forward to it. Nick is really excited to be able to take care of Mya during the day when she is the happiest. She has decided she likes to be fussy from about 6:00 until she goes to bed. I hope that is a good update, things have been busy this week so sorry my posting was slacking! Can you believe it we get to see you next month!!!!!! We are really looking forward to it. We love ya!

Gettin big!

This little shirt is one of the cute things you gave her at the hospital. I think the rest of the stuff will fit too so I will take pics when she wears it. She looked so pretty as usual. As I was putting it on I told her all about how it was from you and your parents. I like to think she understands :)

We took a trip to Nick's office today to show her off. Everyone thinks she is so beautiful and they can't get over her hair! She was happy, good and I think she really liked seeing Daddy!

My Mom is babysitting her tonight so that Nick and I can go to the temple. I feel so overwhelmed at all the blessings we have and I can't wait for conference this weekend. It is always one of my favorite times. One of the biggest blessings we have is because of you, thanks for everything. We sure love you!

I am excited to take out all my Halloween deco!! This year going to get pumpkins will be so much more fun with little Mya moo! Of course I also can't wait to dress her up in her cupcake costume....she is going to look so cute. We should be posting lots of festive pics this month because we plan to do lots of fun Halloween activities! Nick and I need to think of some good costumes for us. Fun stuff!! :)

BTW- Nick is the BOMB!!!

Nick is so awesome! He got me Taylor Swift tickets and we went Wed. night!!! We took our two nieces and got to sit in one of the suites for the concert. We had so much fun!!! I LOVE country music and Taylor Swift is one of my favorites. I'm kinda like a little girl! Nick even came and sported a cowboy hat just for me! He is the best husband and the greatest dad. He will do anything to make me happy and I am getting to watch him do the same thing for Mya. She has him wrapped around her tiny little finger!!!! I will try and get a picture from Nick's sister of him in a cowboy hat...it doesn't happen often so I'm glad she caught the moment!!!!

Bubble gum.....

Here is Mya taking her first taste of something other than milk.....bubble gum medicine! The Dr had us give this to her for her sore legs after she got those shots! It was so cute she actually likes it. Thank heavens she is feeling better now. These pics were too cute not to share. She is such a funny little girl, we love her so much!!!

Happy day!!!!

Doesn't she look so cute!

Life is so hard when you're this beautiful!

Look at her wild morning hair!

These last two pics are from this morning. I woke up about 6:30 and just kept waiting to hear her cry to let me know she was up and ready for the day. About 7:15 I got up because I was nervous that she hadn't made any noise yet. I went in her room and there she was just looking around and talking to herself having a great time! It was so cute I had to pull out the camera! She had wiggled herself right out of her pj's and was just chillin with the blanket wrapped around her bottom half! As soon as she saw me she started smiling and talking louder! Nick and I thought it was the cutest funniest thing ever! She is such a good baby!!!! What a great way to start the day walking in and looking at her smiling little face. :)

P.S - Isn't the Halloween background awesome! 

Look how much she has grown!

 I can't even believe how much she has grown! I had so many memories flood back when I put this dress on her. I'll be honest it made me cry! She looks so beautiful in it and I went right back to that day when we picked her up from the hospital, so tiny and new! We were amazed when we saw her. She was so pretty and it is crazy she just keeps getting prettier every day! Oh we love this little girl so much there are absolutely so words! She is the light of our lives. Funny thing I actually couldn't keep this dress on longer than for pictures because her arms are so chunky and the sleeves are too tight so it felt like it was cutting off her circulation. I am going to have my mom try and fix the sleeves so she can wear it again. This is a very special dress and it makes me smile so big to look at her in it. It reminds us of you and what you have done for us. THANK YOU sweetie, we sure love ya! 

2 month Dr visit...

Mya went to the Dr today. Oh my goodness it was a sad visit she had to get those darn shots! I almost felt like punching the nurse....(don't worry I didn't, I know it's not her fault!) Next shot visit is all Dad's, that sucked!!!!!!! On a good note the Dr says she looks great and healthy! We are going to give her a nice warm bath tonight and massage her legs cause the Dr said they will be sore from the shots :( She was the bomb though she only cried for a minute and then passed out asleep. Sweet little thing!
