Grocery store fun

So I found what can keep Mya entertained while I shop...The kid car cart thing:) She was so good the entire time. Most of the time she had one hand on the steering wheel and one on the arm rest so it looked like she was driving. What a cutie!!

Before she went to bed  she grabbed her tutu skirt and gave it to me then lifted her leg up so she could get in them. It was so funny! Dean said, "what a little girly girl"

USU football season!!!

We love USU football!!! That is the main perk to Utah state is their athletics. We took Mya to a couple last year but of course she is a lot more mobile now than last fall so we left the game a little early but it was still fun. It was so so hot during the 1st quarter. Dean was so hot he stripped off his socks and shoes:) We got to spend time at the game with some of our good friends, Nate and Chelsee, they moved to California today I'm really gonna miss them!

 Mya has been doing this a lot lately. When she is upset, she drops something, there is a loud noise, etc. she covers her mouth with her hand. It is actually really cute.

Thanks to all the smoke the sunsets are gorgeous here in Cache Valley

Sensory activity=nope :)

One morning I was at work and Dean was letting her eat oatmeal and he said she ate it so fast-she was hungry-and then would tip the bowl up and tilt her head back to get as much of it as she can (he tried to get a pic but she didn't do it when he got the camera out). I just love her hair! it was from her pony tails the night before.

So I decided before it gets too cold that Mya and I should try the sensory activity with shaving cream she sat down and I put her hands in it (to help her figure out what to do with it) she wiped her hands off on her tummy and legs then that was it. I even gave some to her in the tub but nope she didn't like it at all. So maybe we will try playdough or something next time.

 My little skinny minny :)

She kept handing me her clothes-she hates being naked. My little modest girl.

That's my little buddy Mya-she is her mama and daddy's world! 

I love when she says, "cheese" with those pearly white chicklets :)

Dean's nightmares

I just want to record something that happened a week or so ago. Dean is a sleep talker and he likes to flap and swing his arms too-I know because I wake up to getting punched or something. In the middle of the night Dean shoots up in bed and his arms swing around then he whistles really loud!!!! The kind of whistling he does when he would whistle for Rusty to come back from a long ways away. He did it twice and said something like, "he's getting away" I kept nudging him and saying, "Dean, Dean, Dean it's ok. Stop." then he just sat there in bed then laid back down on his back and went to sleep. Of course he doesn't remember it but when I told him about it and how funny it was he was like, " oh yeah I think I did dream of a guy getting away from me" hahahaha oh dean! I love him!!

watching the boys and Brigham City temple

We stayed at my parents house with my 2 brothers, Dustin and Jaxon, for a few days while my parents took their 1923 model T on a "Model T tour" with a bunch of other people who own model Ts around Colorado and New Mexico. I was glad that they were getting away just the 2 of them and it was fun to hang out, watch tv (we've decided that we like tv for only an hour or so and then we hate it. We are so glad we don't have it at our house), we played outside, Jaxon started 7th grade, Dustin went to work, Jaxon, maxee and I went running but it was so smoky from the fires that we didn't run for very long, we went to the Brigham City Temple open house just Jaxon, Mya and I since Dean and Dustin were working, and that was about it.

 Mya is so tiny (she is 10th percentile) she fits right in the tonka truck and she loves uncle Jaxon (Uncle Daggon)

 At the open house-it was such a strikingly beautiful very white temple

Summer update

Dean starts school in a couple of days and it made me reflect on our summer. I am going to miss the activities, the family reunions, the camping trips, etc..but surprisingly i'm not really gonnna miss the weather. It has been so HOT here in Logan! I love the fall crisp weather and I'm excited not to be sweating all day everyday. Even Mya's hair was always curly with sweat:)

this is some of the things we did this past summer:
-Softball games (about 3 a week)
-swimming ( Dean got me a 10x pass for mothers day and Mya is free so we went a lot)
-camping
-floating the Oneida Narrows
-4 wheeler rides (Mya absolutely LOVES to ride the 4 wheeler. She will look up at me with her big blue eyes, smile, then look around then rest her head against my chest and close her eyes. This is the best way to make her happy and relaxed.)
-Dean had one class online so that took up some of our summer
-Family reunions (we had 3 one after another in the month of July. I love our families!!)
-I ran a 5k, 10k, and a half marathon!!!
-game nights with friends
-batting practice
-gardening (we had a garden at  my parents place)
-working (Dean works so much and so hard and I got to work a couple days a month-the perfect amount)
-redbox movie nights
-shooting skeet
-and Dean's dog Rusty passed away

I'm sure we did more things but that's all I could think of right now. Well, goodbye summer and Hello last year of school for Dean!!!! Yahoo!!!

Mya's first fat lip

Mya's first fat lip!!! (i took this picture a couple days after so it isn't swollen really) We went to visit dad at work at IFA and the flooring there is hard cement so she was just cruising around like she always does but I think her sandals that she was wearing were hard to walk in and then smack she fell and hit her mouth. Her upper lip was bleeding and it swelled up pretty good the next day. This picture really doesn't do justice and she wouldn't let me get a good picture, we were watching daddy play softball. I'm surprised it has taken this long for her to get a fat lip because she has been walking since 9 and a half months.
