5 Years & Counting!

Time goes by so fast when you are married to such an amazing person!! It was 5 years last week that Stu and I were married. It is such a fun adventure to be married to my hot accountant! I'm so happy to be making fun memories with him each and every day! I look forward to growing old with him and always keeping a budget to the penny!!!!!

The day of, we had dinner at my very favorite restuarant The Cheesecake Factory!! Yummy!

The next day Stu and I went to Lagoon. It has been 6 years since we last went to Lagoon. It was one of our first dates when we were dating. It brought back memories of how young and daring we use to be. WOW! Let me tell you! We are getting to old for this stuff. Grandma watched Miya all morning so we could hit up all the big rides.

Our favorite ride was wicked. We soon realized that we were trying too hard to not get sick to our stomachs so we decided to be done with the rides and left to get lunch and Miya.

Miya joined us that evening and we went on a couple kid rides. Miya fell in love with the train and animals! I'm glad we ended our Anniversary Celebration with Miya joining us!

We took Miya on the big Ferris Wheel. Can you say Anxiety Attack!!! I was so close to start screaming to get us down! Of course Stu had to turn our basket in circles in mid ride! I use to be the queen of roller coasters and crazy adventures and now I start to get anxiety attacks!!! Is it just me or does it come with age and being a mom???? Miya kept wanting to sit by the door and I convinced her she could kneel in front of it and look down but man! I almost peed my pans!!! Worse feeling ever! The whole time I was planning my rescue mission in case our basket broke or fell. Stu thought I was going nuts...I was...literally.

Catching Up

Pool Time!

Our pool opened on Memorial Day weekend. Stu and Miya were ready to kick off summer with a little swim.

Miyas New Ride

She loves to ride her new princess four-wheeler.

But the best part is when her friend comes over.

"My Baby!"

I love my little girl! especially when she does all the cute things little girls do. My favorite is when she changes her babys diaper. She goes around saying, "Mom, My Baby...stinky bum." so she goes and makes sure that baby no longer has a stinky bum.

She even wipes the babys bum.

I love to see her try to put a size 5 diaper on this itty baby. She gets so frusterated but doesn't give up. She then gets her potty book (in the background,) shows it to her baby and says "Baby, Nice, Poop, Potty!" Translation...Baby, it would be nice if you could poop in the potty. Hmm, I wonder where she got that from. We've been trying to potty train for ever! I always tell her those same exact words after a poopy diaper change. Oh how I love my Miya.

So Much To Post So Little Time

* I am so behind on this blog thing! There's more to come! With the move and summer here I have been too busy to blog but since my family is not very nice to me for not updating I will make sure I make some blog time in my schedule!!

Cinco De Mayo

We celebrated Cinco De Mayo with Jen and Steve and we had a very fun Mexican Time! It's funny how in Mexico it's not even a big deal but in America it's a another Holiday. I decided we would make the best out of this day and get made fun of by my Mexican family for actually celebrating it!

My Parents went to Mexico about a month ago and brought this adorable dress back for Miya. She looked so cute...just like a lil mexican girl. I braided her hair and I just wanted to eat her up.

We drank delicious Pina Coladas.

I made Stus Favorite Mexican Dish. Chiles Rellenos...Not as good as my moms but they were still so yummy!

Steve and Jen brought over some fried Ice Scream to top our Cinco De Mayo festivities!

It was a Fun Fiesta!!!!! (Not siesta Jen)

Easter

Easter Sunday was so fun at our house. I got up way too early and made Belgian waffles from scratch (I was so proud of myself!) and by eight I had Stu and Miya come down for breakfast. Miya was so excited when she saw her Easter basket. We had breakfast and talked about Jesus and had a very good Sunday morning. Love Stus Face! "The Basket" She got her favorite movie in the world!

She spotted the eggs around the living room and thought she would help clean up. Little did she know they were full of candy and all were for her. We had to sit down with her and explain.

We had so much fun with Miya and we can't wait for next year!

SaSsy Lil ThAnG

Miya has a mind of her own now! She is definitely a sassy lil girl and every moment and day spent with her is priceless. Here are a couple of our "Miya what are you doing?!?" and "Aww soo cute!" moments.

Miya saw these sun glasses at the store and had to have them! She would not take them off! ! She wears them at all times in the car. Snow, Rain or Shine miya has these cute glasses on.

$20 dollar lipstick all over her face! So cute! Stu and I were getting ready for church and we put on a show for her. We turned around and Miya had snuck into my make up drawer when we weren't looking and this is what we found! We tried to keep a straight face but we just couldn't. She kept asking us... "pretty mommy?"Needless to say, we were late to church!

While doing laundry miya snuck into my makeup drawer again!!! The joys!!! You're probably asking why don't I put my makeup where she cant get it?! It's only happened these two times. She is pretty good at staying away but she beat me to it these times. No biggy! Just cuteness!

She loves to make funny faces!

OK! this one was not my fault! My lil sis was in town and of course anything miya asked for she got. I left my sister in charge while i ran down stairs...5 minutes later i walked in and miya was putting mascara on!!! All over her face!!! My sister didn't think she could open it and gave it to her while she got ready, obviously not paying attention to what she was doing!! Miya thought it was pretty. All we could do was laugh! It was quite a sight

For her B-day she got this fun Bath toy from my family. We put her in the tub and she got on her belly and was playing with her mermaid, then she would get flounder and she would make them hug and talk. So SO SO Cute!!!

Miya also has this thing to put all her toys in a straight line. Cars, trains, stuffed animals, DVDs, books...it's cute but can you say...OCD!!! Hum...i wonder where she gets it from???

Older and Wiser

Happy Birthday Stuart!!!!

It was Stui's Birthday last week! Can you guess how old?

We love him so much and wish him a happy year!

Happy 2nd Birthday Miya!

We love our little girl so much and we were so excited to celebrate her 2nd Birthday! Time has gone by so fast. I cannot believe two years ago we were at the hospital excited to meet this sweet beautiful bundle of joy.

March 6, 2009

I made her 2nd most favorite food...Lasagna....yummy!!

We got her a Princess Cake but in Miyas words, "Cindelella" (Cinderella) Cake!" She calls all the Disney Princess Cinderella. After naming each one by their name a million times...I give up...they are Cindelella!

She got to cut the first slice of cake!

She doesn't look too happy but she really was...

yummy cake, she ate all of it...ok maybe just the frosting !!!!

After everyone had their share of cake I let miya go at it...and...she did.

She would lick the frosting off the top.

She then decided to use her finger...but just the one.

My cute baby girl!

Apparantley using her finger wasn't good enough and she just had to get the blue frosting off the side of her cake!

She finally had enough cake and found the Sleeping Beauty topper or as she calls her, "Cindelella."

We had such a wonderful time celebrating her birthday. Thank you to all our Family who came out to celebrate with us and for all the presents! It has been two tough years for Miya and it wasn't just any Birthday Celebration for us but a Celebration of Life and good Health for sweet Miya. We are so grateful to have her in our lifes and look forward to many, many years of fun memories with her!

Potty Tranning!

I cannot believe that I am actually starting to potty train my baby!!! As I was holding her in the potty last night trying to sing in a very animated way, I started to shed some tears. It hit me like a ton a bricks that my baby is no longer a baby and once she starts wearing underwear she will officially be considered a big girl to me. It's so sad! Miya is doing great! She loves to get Elmo stickers and loves to show her Daddy when he comes home. She likes to look in the toilet afterwards to see the great "stuff" mommy is cheering and going crazy about. She then likes to turn around and give me a high five. I love our little miya. I have come to learn to cherish every second that I have with her because they just grow up too fast.
