Munchkins


Mya loves ketchup--she gets it from her dad. :)

I think this is just a cute picture of Mya.

Daddy and Noah--awwww

Okay, so maybe you can't see it, but when Mya spilled this milk, I thought it looked like a guitar. So, I had to get the camera and take a picture of it.

Toby's work schedule has changed yet again. Now, instead of 14 days straight, he works 10 days and has 4 days off. I will miss having a whole week of time off, but I like the idea that he'll be able to attend church every other week rather than once a month. It may change again to a five day week and weekends off, which would be even better. :)
I am constantly amazed with Mya and everything about her. She is so smart, talkative, friendly, and ready to learn anything and everything she can. She is sweet, tender and loving to almost everyone. She can get a little bossy, especially with younger children. She is constantly on the move and wanting to play. If we would let her, she would play outside all day and night long. I love how well she communicates her feelings and desires to us. I just think she is an amazing little person.
Noah is a wonderful little boy! He is so mild-mannered and easy going. He is almost always happy. Even when he gets upset and cries, it is still somewhat lowkey. He loves to explore and chews on everything with his two little teeth. He adores his big sister and is constantly watching her and giggling with/at her. Unless he's hungry or tired, he is up for almost anything. He loves his momma and doesn't like it when I am not right where he can see me. (I know this stage can be very trying at times, but I really enjoy knowing that my children love me and always want me near them. :) He is a tank! ;) He really is a big boy, and I absolutely love it!!! I love that Mya is petite, and I love that Noah is stocky and solid. He is starting to wear 12 month clothes already. He still fits into his 6-9 month clothes, but he can also wear some of his 12 month clothes.
I love my two little cuties!!!!
I taught my first lesson in Relief Society last week, and....it went really well. I absolutely love teaching and had a blast. Is that weird? ;) I definitely have some work to do to improve my teaching, but I think it was a good first lesson. We had great participation and input, which I think is absolutely essential to any lesson. I have no doubt in my mind that the Lord has blessed me in so many ways to be able to teach these ladies. I know that it would have been so much more difficult if I hadn't turned to Him and asked for His support and guidance. I am so excited to be able to start preparing for my next lesson.
I have been starting to get to know more people in the ward, which has been really nice. I got together last week with a few ladies to work on some projects and let the kids play together. We are going to start a playgroup once it starts getting nice out on a regular basis. I am really looking forward to having someone for Mya to play with.

How do you keep track of his constantly changing work schedule? I would have to constantly calendar it.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
