Sunday Morning...

Sunday morning while I was getting ready for church I heard maya chasing around Jaxon in the Kitchen in a "monster" voice yelling "im going to kiss you!" this is what I found....you can tell at one point he had had enough. :) Two kids together are always good for entertainment.

Mayas 3rd Bday!

I asked her what she was doing here and she said, "Im smelling it. " I guess chocolate does smell good. :D


We had a little party on her actually birthday with a girl I babysit. I love her reaction-she didn't even know what it was and she was still that excited!

I cant believe how fast it has all gone by, here I am and I have a 3 year old now. She is so much fun and adds a lot of spunk to our family. I really wanted to make her a princess cake for her birthday. (selfish of me I know, but I had found a REALLY cute one) and i tried to convince her, but what she really wanted was a dinosaur cake. I was still in the phase of trying to convince her otherwise when we had this conversation.

me: dont you want this pretty princess cake?

Maya: no, I dont think so

Me: are you sure? it will be really pretty and have sparkles and princesses on it!

Maya: Mom, lets have a deal. You get the princess cake. I get the Dino cake. Good deal?

Me: (defeated) yeah....good deal.

So the dino cake it was....it actually ended up only taking an hour to make so maybe it really was the good deal after all. :D Ha ha....she loved it, thats what made me happy. She is such a big helper and is now good at pulling Jax off things i dont want him to touch, and is Great at throwing away diapers. (except for the few times she puts them in random places and a day later my nose finds them.) Lol.

She is really into dinosaurs, horses, and any other sort of animal. She loves her brother and loves her daddy to pieces. I love my little girl!

4th of July!

The 4th of July was really fun. I am one of those people that absolutely LOVES this day. I love dressing in the colors, the fireworks, bbq's....everything. We started out going to our friends house for a brunch with several different families. The kids loved playing and having fun. As you can tell from the picture above it wiped Jaxon out. :)

Then 3 of us Moms went to JCPenney because they had put out a bunch of 10 off 25$ coupons so a shopping we did go. :D I love coupons, literally I plan my shopping trips around them.

In the evening we went to the fireworks with our friends and brought a lot of junk food and just had a good time. Both the kids loved the fireworks and it was great to spend time as a family. Ryan has been doing a summer BSU class as well as 4 other BYU classes that are due in the middle of august. He has finished almost two of them and is hacking away at the other two. Its funny how a normal semester is now going to be our break. If everything goes well he will graduate next spring. yay!
