Pumpkin Walk, Snow

For mom's group we took the girls to the pumpkin walk. They are still too little to really enjoy it but it was a good walk and fun for the mommys. The best part is when we put their faces in the cutouts. I thought their expressions were hilarious

bad lighting on this one but this is the witch at the end of the walk 

I love the sour look baby A is giving 

Baby E and her smiles! 

My princess Mya! she is so funny!

So our furnace was broke for a few days and our landlord doesn't answer his phone, thank goodness Dean is a handy man! These pics are of Dean trying to fix it but Mya kept climbing on him and then she finally grabbed a book and got on his lap. It was so cute! Dean is such a manly man but since becoming a dad to a little girl it is the sweetest thing to see how soft he has gotten with me and Mya. I love it and he is such a great dad for a little girl!

The first snowfall of the season!!! It was just  a couple days ago and it was sad but I'm glad for the moisture because I would like to swim in lakes and drink some water next summer:) We were on our way to the thrift store to pick up a dresser for Mya. We got it for 15 bucks!! I'll have to show a before and after pic once I'm done fixing it up but it really is a great dresser and has a lot of potential! I'm so excited to have more space in the closet and space for Mya's clothes.

 My little cowgirl in her carhartt overalls and boots!!

It's crazy how fast she is growing up! I swear everyday she is copying something Dean and I do or say. The other day she got her doll's little blanket and started wiping down the walls, fridge, and our kitchen chairs! We started laughing and Mya looked at us and gave us a big cheesy smile and started laughing a forced laugh:) She makes us so happy!

Hair cut and stuff

So there is an elder here in Logan that is straight from the islands of Samoa! He is just learning english and so Dean and him love to talk and hang out. The other night I told Elder Pili to cut Dean's hair. He did it quite a bit shorter than Dean likes it and he told Dean (in Samoan) "oh your hair is really spaced out" Dean said back, Yeah our hair is not like yours :) but when it was all done I really liked it. It was different and dean looks good with anything!! 

We went to Monpelier to pick up Dillon and Annies kids to bring back to Richmond for Geraldine to watch while Annie gets her radioactive treatment done. Mya was so pooped on our way there. I just love her lips and cheeks so much!!

Mya loves to wear shoes!!! She put on Dean's nikes once and it was so cute seeing her walk around!! I love in this pic I have my caselot sale stuff in the back ground and Mya will not let go of her puff things.

The other day we had to wake Mya up a little early cuz Dean and I both had to work and needed to take her to Gmas.  Her long blonde hair was all over the place and she said in her tired raspy voice while she was rubbing her eyes she says, "hey-whoa" Everytime I go to get her out of her crib she says hello and I love it!!

The leaves fell last night and I wanted to get pics of Mya in the leaves so we went across the street to our neighbors and she has a dog so Mya wouldn't look at me at all and she of course had a death grip on her snack things again:)

 Gma Hansen makes pumpkins that have the grandkids names on them and I just wanted a pic of her with her Mya pumpkin but she was pretty tired

Her costume is done! besides a few touch ups but I wanted to try on her headband and leather fringe. she just can't let me take a pic of her she starts after the camera and wants to see so thats why her hands are in the air in the last pic because she wants the camera:)

Smith family pics

My friend Chelsea did our little family photos in august and she also did the Smiths family photos. There were 17 people there and so I think it went well to try and get everyone looking and smiling considering how many kids there were:)

My parents are so giving and smart and loving. I smile everytime I think of my dad and his humor and I talk to my mom everyday! I seriously love them so much it makes my heart hurt:)

I had to post this of Dustin. Because its not his usual cheshire cat smile. I think he is just so handsome!

We didn't even plan on wearing purple!! great minds think alike!

USU game and Mya

So I tried to post about the beginning of this month and it didn't save so I hope this one does.

I went to what's called divvy up- a gently used childrens clothing store that only comes 2x a year to Logan. I got this very pink coat Mya for 6 bucks! it was a steal cuz it even came with gloves:) 

Doesn't she look like the cutest pink eskimo? We were getting all bundled up for Dean's flag football game.

GO USUS! Dean's bro-in-law got us tickets to the BYU vs USU game in Provo and Dean even got us reservations for a hotel! It was our first night away from Mya and she did great! and so did I! haha It was a fun game even if the Aggies lost 3-6.

See the kid behind us? there were a group of like 10 yr old boys taunting us:) they even said, "go home faggies" haha that one was pretty good. I love what sports do to people!

Conference!!! I love it!!! we went to the Hansen's on sunday and watched the first session. There was so much I needed to hear and they addressed everything that was on my mind! 

 I love her cheesy grin in this pic!

 Blue eyes!

 Mya and I went to our favorite park by the Logan temple while we were wait for Dean to get home.

 Mya loves to get her rider thing and cruising down hill on our sidewalk! she is so cute when she lifts her legs up!

Mya never watches tv but i got some baby einstein from the library and she sat down with her goodys and was so quiet for about 20 min just watching it was so cute and I got a lot done in those 20 mins, but I'm not the kind of mom who does this everyday don't worry.

Mya's new doings

So Mya's new things (well she has been doing them for a while but I'm just getting to posting them) She takes her dirty diapers (rolled up) and puts them in the garbage. she has to use 2 hands and holds it out in front of her then drops it in the garbage then runs back to me clapping then holds her cute little hand out for a high five:) she is so funny!

( she has been doing this for a long time) When she is done eating or if I offer her something she doesn't want she puts both arms up in the air and says "all done" she says it just like it is suppose to be said - she sounds so grown up!!!

While Gma Hansen was watching Mya, she wouldn't eat what she was giving her so Gma put some in her mouth while Mya was swinging her head side to side then once she got a little taste she smiles and looks and Gma and say "mmmmm!" then she will eat it all!!

Dean turned 26 on the 26th!!!

 Mya loves Gma Hansen's piano!!! She actually has some musical talent in her that I can see sprouting, she will sing after the a song on the radio or after I sing to her she will go "ooooooo" it is actually really pretty! maybe uncle Boone can give her lessons.

So for Dean's bday I did a scavenger hunt. It started at home (I wasn't there) a note that led him to a mtn dew bottle outside with a note that led him to a softball with Mya's handprint up at the temple then that note said to follow me (Mya and I were waiting up there) we led him to Al's and walked straight to the firearms and I said "K, we are getting you a gun." He was smiling so big!! Dean has a few guns but he doesn't have a .22 or a 243 so he picked out this nice 243 rifle with a super nice scope. He is so busy this semester he didn't draw for a deer tag and his bird dog died this year so I think he will enjoy some coyote hunting:) I'm excited to go with him. ( My sister told me at my bridal shower that I need to make sure Dean gets to kill something every now and then cuz it will make him happy and its true)

Dean sporting his new toy!

I worked a few hours the other day and while we were waiting for Dean to get home Mya grabbed at my badge so I put it on her and she was loving walking around with it on! My future xray tech!

Dean sighting in his new gun!

The last of softball (this year)

So we had our last games of softball for this year and it was kinda sad cuz we lost. We placed 4th overall but our team was good enough to at least get 2nd or 3rd but oh well. We played hard and had fun. Dean had a couple home runs. I didn't bat very well but I played first and stretched my long legs and got a few close calls out that's always fun to do.

 most of the members of our team are in our ward, building ward unity

 Mya coloring with a nice girl

 I love her new skinny jeans!

of course no one looks but Shalese :) haha love her!
