"OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS!"


Last night when we were leaving Marcus' parents house it was snowing. Mya has seen it snowing through the window and has played in it many times but has never been outside while it has been actually snowing. I didn't even think about it until she stopped and said, "Mom, it's snowing!" She just looked up in complete amazement saying, "Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness!" It was the cutest thing! Makes me realize that I need to stop and apprectiate the little things more often.

BEDTIME

So Mya would always go down to bed between 7-7:30pm every night (this took lots of crying from both Mya and mom!) When she turned 2 she started to not want to sleep AT ALL! But I think we finally figured out the solution.....for her to have her many different dolls and her many different songs! You would think that if 1 was missing she wouldn't notice because their are so many others, but it doesn't! I have tried! She has to have every doll in their certain place! Then, we have to sing in this order.....Old mcdonald (and a pig has to be the animal every time), ABC's, Happy birthday (ever since she turned 2 she thinks we are suppossed to sing that song to her every day), and now because of christmas we have to end with Santa claus is coming to town. This seems like she is asking a lot, but if it gets her to sleep right away and I get a full nights rest, I am happy to do it! She is a girl that knows exactly what she wants, and I love her for it!

Loving the tree and wanting to play by it everday...
Begging to see Santa all week and then too scared to sit with him unless mom does...

THANKSGIVING

For Thanksgiving this year we went with the Watkins family out to eat at Sundance. It was SO good! It was fun to do something different for a change. Mya's little buddy...her uncle "Jordy"


No matter how cold it is she is always happy to be outside...
Later that night we had a little talent show with the kids...
Mya singing her ABC's very loud and proud over and over and over...

I know this picture looks horrible (I was playing around with the settings on my camera) but I just thought this was so cute of Tay and her cousin Halle. Halle is sooo sweet to my girls. She just loves to play with them. I'm excited for Mya and Tay to grow up with her!

4 MONTH PICTURES




I got some backdrops and lighting to put in my basement so I could do some inside shots of my babies this winter. It has been so fun! I wish I had all this stuff earlier when Taylen was a newborn. It's hard to take pictures of a 4 month old when they are rolling and grabbing at everything. She is are little drooling machine, it never stops! She is sure the sweetest little girl! Love her to pieces!

PHOTO BLOG

I decided to make a blog of pictures that I take for people. Here it is....
