Playing with play dough!
She is a pro and Nick and I love to sit in her room and play with her. We always try to make things out of the play dough and she thinks we are so cool! It's pretty funny! It's become one of our many favorite family activities!
Visiting Aunt Brooke on her birthday!
Mya picked a really cute little scarecrow to put on her grave, she was very excited to let Brooke play with the scarecrow :) We miss her! She would have gone nuts over Mya.

Park City with Grammy Pammy and Papa Jim!
My parents stayed in Park City and invited us to come up to play and shop! We had so much fun playing with them and with Britt, Cooper and Bentlie! It was BEAUTIFUL there I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of the leaves :( Utah is such a pretty place to live I think I take it for granted sometimes!
 |
| It was a little chilly for swimming and the hot tub was broke so we didn't last long in here! |
 |
| The waiters we laughing so hard at her, she loves to take out all the sugar packs and organize them into colors and make letters out of them. She is a smart little girl! |
 |
| Her and Cooper think they are so funny! They both love to make each other laugh as you can see! |
Thanksgiving Point FHE at Cornbelly's!!!!
They do this little fair every year at Thanksgiving Point and we always take Mya! This year we did an FHE night with Britt, Derek and the kids too! My dad does security there so he got tickets for us, he's such a great daddy! They have a ton of stuff geared towards little kids her age, it is awesome! Mya had a blast! It was freezing and we could have stayed all night. She was smiles the whole time!!!
Playing at the park!
Every Tuesday our ward has a play group where us mommies get together and go to the park to let our kids play! It's been really fun Mya has made some good buddies and it makes it so I can get to know the other girls in the ward too! We have been going to the park almost everyday, we will be so sad when the weather gets too cold :(

 |
| Mya was scared to go down the slide so her friend Parker (who is so cute with her) took her down on his lap! It was so sweet! His mom is my visiting teacher and so he comes to our house frequently and loves to play! |
Grandma Jody's for a pumpkin painting party!
Jody wanted me to come and help the young women in their ward (they used to be my young women too until I moved so I know them all!) paint pumpkins since I love to paint! Mya came and had a blast we made root beer, painted pumpkins and she got to play with her cousin Sami which is always fun to her!
 |
| She loves her Aunt Ashley! Ashley always has crazy funky jewelry and hair that Mya loves. And when she sings she sounds like a Disney princess! We are so happy she moved back here from California! |
 |
| Here's Mya being a little nervous about the smoke, until she found out is was root beer...this girl LOVES root beer! She will randomly say to me "mom remember when the smoke was coming out of the root beer, that was so much fun!" |
 |
| Trying to do gymnastics with Sami on the floor! So cute! |

Painting with Mommy!
This is something I used to do with my mom ALL the time when I was young and I loved it. I love being able to now share this sweet tradition with little Mya moo! She is so cute and sweet I think she's gonna have a real artsy side to her!
Gardner Village with the girls plus Cooper!
This is something my mom and Britt have been doing for a long time! It's been fun the last few years to bring the kids! We love seeing all the Halloween decorations and the witches are hilarious! They play loud Halloween music and have all kinds of festive things going on! The kids love it! I can't believe this was Mya's 3rd trip with us! She loved all the witches and we had so much fun!
 |
| Mya loves cats! My mom bought her this little kitty and she hasn't put it down since! She gets attached to stuffed animals, I love it! |
Best Friends Forever!
This is Mya and her friend Kendall (I've blogged about her before) We hadn't seen Kendall in a couple weeks cause they have been out of town. We finally got the girls together the other day and it was the cutest thing ever! They ran to each other and gave big hugs! Then they had to hold hands and Mya told Kendall "You're my best friend". Honestly I had tears they are so sweet together! They both share the connection of being adopted which I also think is just beautiful! We had so much fun feeding the ducks, going to Chick Fil A and playing at Kendall's house! We can't get enough of them!
 |
| This is my favorite picture! Look how tall Kendall is, she just turned 2 today! |
 |
| Mya was chasing the roosters saying "hey get back here" |
Adoption 5k!!!
United for adoption did a 5k walk at Liberty Park in SLC and we were so excited to join in! They had fun stuff for the kids to do, we won a really cute shirt that says "we love adoption" which is SO true! Everyone was asked to wear orange so we sported our orange and had a ton of fun!
 |
| Goofballs! |
After the race we went over and played with her cousins! Mya loves jumping on the trampoline and being with her cousins. That night we also went to our ward Halloween party! I'm not going to give away our costumes just yet but they are awesome and the best part is Mya picked them all out clear down to Louie's!
Big announcement!
As of October 23, 2013 we are officially back on the LDS Family Services adoption waiting list! We are so excited about this! Mya will be the BEST big sister and we feel stronger than ever that we need to start looking for her next sibling. We are so thankful to you for the support and help you have given us. We wouldn't be where we are without you and we LOVE you so much! Please keep us in your prayers and we will keep you updated as our journey unfolds!
Stay tuned for our Halloween pics! They are coming soon......Love ya!
