The cute things Mya says...

I knew if I didn't write this down I would forget, and since I currently do not know where my journal is I will blog about it and hope that fellow readers get a kick out of what my cute little girl says. :) Last Thursday Mya walked into my room while I was still sleeping. She stood at the side of my bed and I said, "Good Morning. How did you sleep?" She then says to me, "Shhh, brother is sleeping," as she patted my tummy. It's so fun to see her get excited about her baby brother.

Then this past Sunday as we were driving to my mom's house Mya started to complain her stomach hurt. I figured she was constipated and asked if she needed to go potty. In her sick, groaning voice she replied, "No... baby kicking" as she held her stomach. Scott and I busted out laughing it was so funny. Mya does have what we call a Buddah Belly; she is so petite yet her little belly bulges. We occassionaly tease she is pregnant like mom and apparently she's starting to believe it! haha She is so funny and I'm so grateful she's mine! I love being a mom!

Why it took us a year to sell our home...

So we put our house on the market in July 2007. We had two failed offers between August and December of that same year. It finally sold October 2008 for much less than what we could have made the summer before... Yes we were frustrated and didn't know why other homes could sell before ours did. Well last week I think we received some answers and are now finally okay with having to wait as long as we did. :) My little bro Ren is now officially engaged to Emily, whom we had help set up through friends we had met in our ward. Had we sold our home in 2007 we would have never met Zac and Katie (as seen below in our vacation pics), Katie being the sister of Emily who will now be my sister-in-law! I hope you were able to follow that! haha We got the two of them to meet in September at a flag football game that Zac and Scott created which Ren played on, that we got Emily to come watch. :) We threatened Ren back in January that if they didn't get married he'd owe us the difference in the sales price we lost, but thankfully Emily accepted his proposal so we won't make him pay. Congrats Ren, and welcome to the fam Emily!
