Happy Turkey Day!

I wish they made these in my size, good find! 

Thanks for the CUTE moccasins Amy! We hope that you have the BEST Thanksgiving spending time with family and friends! We had a great day with Nick's family and we get to spend tomorrow with my family! We took Mya to see the new Disney movie "Frozen" Oh my gosh such a cute movie you totally need to see it. We have so much to be thankful for! Thanks for all you do for us :)

We love you and miss you! XOXO

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Our adoption video!

This video is so much fun (we hate our voices but it's all good we're not voice over actors) and we hope that it helps our next birth family feel that connection to us. Mya is going to make the BEST big sister and we feel like it's time to make that happen! I wish it were just that easy! Please keep us in your prayers, this whole process is scary and we need as much support as possible. We love you and appreciate everything you have done for us. We love adoption because of you and Mya!! We feel like this was an inspired part of our current process and never imagined that someone would find us through random means and do this for us just to help! We hope that our new little one can feel all three of us fighting to find them. Mya says in her prayers every single time "please bless Amy in New York" and "please help my new brother or sister find us" You would not even believe the spirit that fills the room when she prays. Her prayers are simple but powerful and we're so thankful that we have her to help us go through this process again. If I were answering prayers I would not be able to ignore such a sweet little girl like Mya. She's incredible!

All of our love.....

Nick, Tiff and Mya

Painting.....family style!

Nick and Mya are so cute they both do this thing when they concentrate....they stick out their tongues! It's so cute, Nick made sure not to do it in any of the pictures I took, he's such a stinker!

Even Louie likes to be around when we paint! Too bad he's not much help! :)

 Look how cute Mya's little turkey is, she has so much fun painting with me! She's a pro!

You know I love to paint and do crafts but nothing is better than when I get to do these with my favorite man and my favorite little girl! We made 20 turkeys for a birth mother group at our LDSFS agency and Nick and Mya helped me SO much! Then we made some pumpkins and some Christmas Trees. We made lots of pumpkins for friends that included a card with all of our adoption info. I love making things for people, it's one of my favorite things to do! We've been busy!!

Fall...we love this time of year!

November is "National Adoption Month" so I decided to make a cute little sign to go in front of our house to let the world know "We LOVE adoption". The UFA group had some super cheesy plastic ones that you could buy from them, but since I am a crafting maniac I made my own!

Playing at the park! One of our favorite things to do :)

This was cracking me up, she kept kicking the leaves as she walked from the bottom of the slide back to the stairs! I was able to get this great action shot!

Mya's first trip to Kanagroo Zoo a bounce house indoor park. She got to go with her best friend Kendall. We had so much fun, lots and lots of laughs! Since we have such crazy weather during fall with one day in the 60's and the next it's snowing we're lucky to have fun places like this to go when it's raining or snowing outside!

There goes our brave little girl up the most giant slide they have! I went up after her thinking she was going to freak at some point. Yeah she never did she came flying down the slide before I could get half way up the ladder! The look on her face was priceless, it will be burned in my brain forever! I honestly thought I might pee my pants laughing. When she got to the bottom where my friend Kathryn was I just held my breath waiting for the tears cause she had a look of pure terror on her face all the way down. But instead she laid there for a sec and said "weee". Once again we were rolling on the ground laughing!  

The next time she asked me to go with her. Lol!

I believe my face says it all....that was fun and most definitely not made for a 2 year old! 

Silly, silly girl!

These are some red shoes that Nick's mom gave me and Mya found them in my closet and thinks they are hers! She struts around in them like a pro....I can't even walk in them! She's such a character and so spunky with her attitude, it's pretty awesome! Every time I think she can't get any cuter she goes and does something like this!

I was upstairs the other night working on some stuff and it got a little too quiet so I yelled for Mya and she didn't answer. I went downstairs into her play room to find her lounging on her chair with a stack of books. Then she said to me "mom, I'm right here just reading to my babies!" Lol I about died it was so cute so I grabbed the camera! LOVE her!

Cooper and Bentlie got to come to our house for a play date and they had a blast. Mya is so great to help me with baby Bentlie and her and Cooper love to play together! We did puzzles, made pumpkins, watched a movie and lots more! We love having cousins so close!

 This is a new face she sports all the time...lol!

We went to story time at the library to watch their Thanksgiving puppet show! Mya got to check out her first library book! She was SO excited about it, they have little backpacks for the kids. She wore the backpack all day (it was all I could do to make her take it off for bed time! Then she kept asking me to take pictures of her....oh so cute!

 See pajamas on and backpack still on her back! She's a nut and we love her to death!! :)
