Old Pictures

I had forgot about these cute pictures off Ryan that I had taken with my cell phone. I know that they are not the best quality, but enjoy!

This is Ryan with her "Happy."

California Fun!

Kirk had to go out of town for two weeks at the end of May for school. So I decided that I was not going to just stay at home with the two girls and try to remain sane! So we headed to my parents house!

We had so much fun! Mya and Cooper are just about the same size but, they are two months apart! They were so fun together and Mya was always trying to hold Cooper's hand!

Ryan always loves to visit her cousins, even though sometimes it is a love hate relationship! Ryan and Carter would play great and then all they would do is fight the next minute! I guess it is that stage they are in right now!

I just loved spending time with my sister and her kids, along with my parents and brother! It was beautiful weather in California and I wish I had brought it with me to Utah. I am getting sick of the rain!

Long time & Catch Up

I know that it has been a long time since I have posted, but I have a very good excuse! I killed Kirk's laptop with two mega-viruses! And all of our pictures that we have or download from our camera only works on it. So I have had to wait until the computer was fixed and now I can update our blog!! Hurray!

At the beginning of March we blessed Mya! It was so fun to have all of our family together for that great day! I love hearing baby blessings, especially my girls! I love to hear the great blessings that these children can recieve if they choose the right! What a great way to start out with life by having a blessing from our Heavenly Father!

Here is a cute picture that my dad had taken of the girls when we were visiting in Feb. I love the matching p.j.'s they have! Thanks Amy!!

What every girl needs!

Now I know what to get Ryan for her next birthday, a sword and helmet!! She loved playing with them!! Everytime we went to my sister's house, she would ran and get these items. She was always wearing them!!

Her cousins even let her play swords with them. But when it came time to fight she would run away dragging her sword. Maybe we need to work on that!

Pokie-poke and 'itches'

We almost made it a week with Mya in our family without anything major happening. The day after Thanksgiving Ryan was playing with our keys on the calendar holder and one of the pictures fell and cut her below the eye. Luckily our AWESOME friends (Reed, Kat, and Brynley) were over and Reed just went and got his car and drove Kirk and Ryan to the ER, so I could stay home with Mya. Well they had to sedate her to put in stiches. So as she was still a little loopy, Ryan was saying and doing the funniest things. I saw her when they got home and it looked like my 2 year old was drunk. But she is healing nicely now and we are just working on keeping her scar well oiled and sunblocked so it will fade.

But now when I am doing something that she thinks I will get hurt doing or that she thinks is naughty, she will tell me "mom, do you want to go get pokie-poke and itches?" "Well then you need to be careful!" I just laugh when she tells me this! What a little mommie she is becoming!

Ryan also likes to retell the story to me and anyone else. I think on a daily basis I hear it about 3 times throughout the day. She always likes to talk about the "pokie-poke and itches."

New Addition!!

Mya Emily joined our family in November. She has brought so much joy to our house! Ryan at first did not know what to think of her and didn't even want to touch her. But now I have to keep a close eye on Ryan when Mya is in her seat.
We both think that Mya looks just like Ryan did when she was a baby, except she does not have as much hair and is not as chubby as Ryan was.
Mya is a great baby and we love watching her grow!!
