One month older and wiser too!

Yet another month rolls by and I'm left wondering where it went!

Mya is already 5 months!  She is just so sweet don't you think!

New stages in life present new opportunities, and sometimes we just aren't quite sure what to do with them!  Mya's first whack at rice cereal was pretty funny!  She was totally unsure about what was going on :)  Stephen would laugh and she would continue to make this, if I might add, HILARIOUS face while covered in milky cereal!

As you can tell by the photos, very unsure!  So I think after she was tired of getting messy and not too full by the way, she'd done had enough!

Teaching Mya that play time is a good thing, IS A GOOD THING! Even though we love her to pieces, we can't hold her every second.  So I sure do love to see her enjoying her play time!

Yum!  Slobber!  It would seem that Mya is staring at the alleged photographer who is eating a giant piece of scrumptious chocolate cake!  Humm...I think I might be hungry!

Because crafting is just in my bones, blood, and hair follicles I decided to make this dress for Mya out of and old shirt of mine that never got worn!

Practice is always a good thing! 

 After a few tries, spills, and numerous laundry loads later...oh and lets not forget to stick out our tongue, my little Papaya is loving her new skill!

We are sure glad for this beanie, it keeps her warm on all our walks!  Mya is major happy when we are outside, so we like to take walks as often as we can!  We used to go when she would have a crying fit, and it was just the trick we needed!  Now that she is bigger she loves to just look around and observe!! 

Cousin Lillee loves to hold and play with Mya!

Now that is what I love to see!  Big mister spending some time with Lil miss!  Something we have started is reading a book to Mya right before we put her to bed!  She really seems to like it and so do we!  I especially love when she decides to tell the story right along with dad!

Mya mostly sleeps on her back but I love to catch her in those other rare positions!  The tummy is most rare, I have only caught her like that maybe 3 times!  Sleeping babies, I think parents are the ones who can enjoy this beautiful scene!

Auntie Hopper!  Literally, she hops in and out of the house at will!  Busy busy gal!  Better shape up if you want Mya to love you most, Ford and Cade could possibly be in the lead!

Sunday afternoon is the perfect time for a family walk!  Dad are you yawning!?!  Hope I see you posing, I almost see you Cade, and Ford, we all know you are strong, you don't need to bring it on with me!  FAM-TASTIC times!

March Madness!!!

Ok so first things first, as everyone should know...My Birthday is March 12th!!!  So to celebrate Stephen took me to one of my favorite places, Noodles and Co...I got my favorite dish...Bankok Curry! Yummy yum yum.  

After he took me to a few of my favorite places to shop, yippee!!!  Hes always so great to take one for the team!  Logan doesn't exactly have the best shopping :)  That night we headed to Bear River and the Fam treated me to a deliciously baked cake! Oh and no Im not 11, only candles they had I guess, more like 23!

The next morning Sean, Dixie, Stephen, I and the babe of our lives started our trek to CALIFORNIA!

The drive wasn't awful, just long and hard!  I guess you have to give things a shot..lesson learned.  DO NOT travel long distances with a 4 month old.  At least this 4 month old anyway.  I felt so sad for her that we probably added a few hours onto the trip just so she could have some "outta the carseat" time!

A little Grama Great time!!!

And a little Auntie Wen and Unkee Mark time!!!

The first outing was another one of my favs... Monterey and Carmel!!!  Pure beauty and bliss!

Mya did pretty good but after experiment number 2 we decided that we were going to buy a stroller before our next day trip!  We did a bit of shopping and finished the day off at the amazing white sand beach in carmel!  The weather turned out PERFECTO!  Sean and Dixie even decided to give the waves a try!  Oh how I love the ocean, I can hear it just thinking about it!

Lovin my baby, lovin the beach!  Life is good!

Gps..check, Stroller, CHECK!  Good ol' San Francisco here we come!

Grams and Grumps took us to the Science museum!  There were so many cool things there.  Penguin's, albino alligators, jelly fish, a sweet rain forest dome with all sorts of cool animals and TONS of butterfly's everywhere.  I think I even had to dodge a few!  The smiley pic of Mya was when we first put her in her new stroller, PRICELESS!  Next we were off to China Town just can't pass it up!  Dixie even got herself a good deal on some pearls!  Pier 39 was next.  We got some nice views of the city and Alcatraz Island!  Busy day!

The last big trip was to the REDWOODS!

Most everybody's favorite!  We went real early and boy was it pretty and so peaceful!  It was pretty chili so we bundled Mya up real good so all she had left were her eyes!!!  We laughed at that for a bit!  These trees are so humongo that I think they need a new name like Tree-A-Saurus or Tree-zillas or something. They really are amazing though and quite a site to see!  Sean, was it worth it even though your stomach couldn't handle the winding drive out of the mountain, all those passing cars, I can only imagine what they must have been thinking?!?!

Good spot for a family photo eh!!??!!?  Bye Bye Gram, Grump and Cali, we will miss you everyday!

Grampa Ras teaching the MY-ster to be a Lefty!!!

We need as many as we can get on our team!!

Oh and Uncle Lever Hall teaching her gang signs, either that or how to pick her nose.

Levi if your not careful we will kick you off the lefty team!

Last of the Many voyages..was home sweet BRITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I could pee my pants I'm so excited re-thinking about how much fun it was!  This time make no mistake, FLY!  And boy was it better!  We did too much, staying up too late, getting up too early, exercising too little, making too many crafts, ok ok Brit made too many, I would have I'm just too slow!  We had so much fun we nearly forgot to take any pictures of ourselves, just the cute kiddies!  But really they are cuter anyway!

Mya got so worn out with so many different toys and fun cousins to play with she actually took naps during the day it didn't even mess up her sleeping through the night!  Party on!  Brit I think if I had to live with you again it'd be a piece of pie!!!  Why weren't we like that when we were younger...Maybe you could consider MOVING CLOSER!!!!?!!!  MISS YOU LOTS!!!

Leave it to Grama Pearson to create beautiful head wear!
