What we've been up to...

MYA
Mya has been a very helpful big sister. She is so good to get me a diaper (or even better throw a dirty one away) and she loves to play/hold/snuggle her little brother...


She also found that baby Wade is fun to play dress up with. Look at the poor guy's face, doesn't it just cry"Mom make her stop!"
Here she is posing with Mason after she's put all her bracelets on his wrists- he does not look very happy. Pay no attention to Mya's unintentional middle finger! haha
Mya loves to play dress up with her jewelry and styling sun glasses. This is a daily routine.

Mya also insists every time I take a picture of Mason that she be in the picture too. She loves having attention and sometimes dislikes having to share my attention with the baby.

Mya also loves to play with her daddy, and anxiously awaits his return from work. Here's a fun little video of her playing baseball just before bed. We've been working on her swing and she's getting pretty good, much to my excitement. :) Notice how she "slides" and then dusts herself off each time. She is such the character and we love her so much!


One quick funny story about Mya that I wanted to write down before I forgot... The other day while Scott and I were talking, Mya came by us and said "Oh shit." We both gave each other an accusing glare, then I asked "Mya what did you say?" She quickly replied "Nothing." Then I repeated, "Mya what did you just say?" Then she smiled up at us and said, "Holy heck..." We both laughed under our breath and just left it at that.


Mason Wade
Our handsome little guy is getting so big!

He is still sleeping lots...
Mason loves his big sister. When we got home from church on Sunday he was still sleeping so I left him in his car seat, so Mya decided to cover him with all her blankets and read to him. He's lucky to have such a good big sister!

Mason loves his tongue! My sister once asked if I was worried of it drying out because he constantly has it sticking out, even when he's sleeping. :)
Mason with his cousin Haws, and below his new friend Beckett...

Little Wade's newest trick is smiling! It's still hard to capture a good one on camera, but we all love to talk sweet to him to get him to grin! (Again notice the tongue haha)

SCOTT
Has been a very helpful husband and good daddy. He loves to be greeted by Mya's big hugs and squeels when he comes home from work. He's even good to let Mya play with his hair- although I think he really likes to have his hair combed because it relaxes him :)
Scott is excited that the elk/deer archery hunts have started. Hopefully this is his year to get a big buck! We also just got back his Mountain Lion rug that he shot in January. It took Mya a while to not be scared of it, but here she is posing with a growl. :)


ShaRee
I am loving being a mom, and take all the hugs, kisses, and snuggling time I can get!

I also recently chopped 6 inches off my hair. This new short hair cut was due to me getting to use Mason as our baby's first name. When we were still bickering about boy names, Scott said he'd give me Mason if I cut my hair short. Of course I was smart enough to wait until the birth certificate had been filled out :)
Pretty short huh? This is the shortest I've ever been.

Our Family

My little brother's wedding was last Friday so we had fun taking lots of pictures...
The girls with my mom (missing Laura and the bride, Emily)

The big boys showing off their new little boys
And of course the happy couple :)

I hope you enjoyed this long old post! Now you know what we've all been up to!

Your hair is really cute. That was very brave of you to cut so much off! I'm glad everything is going well with you guys!

Thanks for posting new pictures! Love the hair and that cute Mason's smiles. Of course Mya and Scott are cute too :). What a funny little softball player! Thanks for posting pictures of Ren's wedding and of Haws. We wish we could have been there!

Ok I am very impressed with the baseball swing! Even getting that elbow up, well coached!

I love the pictures. But I must say the baseball video is the BEST! That girl can hold a bat...watch out...your summers are going to be busy. I really am quite impressed. Thanks for letting me hold Mason last week. I get baby hungry sometimes and it is nice to be able to "borrow" a baby for a little while...just enough to get my fill. You have grown into a beautiful wife and mother. Your family is very lucky to have you!

Of course I had to do the timer. By the time Brent gets home I pretty much look like crap, so for a good pic I had to do it myself. Oh, don't worry about the whole name thing...he'll for sure be confused. J/K I think I like Mason more. We're torn on baby names too.

What a great update! You look fabulous with short hair! And definitely don't have the waistline of a woman who recently had her 2nd baby. Way to stay in shape!
