HE'S HERE!!!

Mason Wade Curtis was born July 5th at 2:30 pm weighing in at 7 lbs 4 oz and 19.5 inches long. Labor/Delivery went really fast; I went from at 2 at 12:45 to pushing at 2:10 and he was here 20 minutes later. He did give us quite the scare though because the cord was wrapped so tightly around his neck it took him a minute and a half with a little CPR to get him breathing. Those few moments are so scary but what a relief it was to finally hear him cry! He is such a good baby, we love him so much. I will post more pics later, but here is baby Wade's first post- yes he goes by Mason or Wade :)

He was pretty pale due to the lack of breathing so they had to give him an IV :(

Our family of 4!

Proud big sister

Daddy had to do a photo shoot when we first got home; posing with a basketball and his Dwayne Wade shoes. :)

My cute little boy!

Baby Update...

The first exciting news is that my bro Rob and his wife Jamie had baby Haws early this morning at 1:15! He weighed 7lbs 13 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. He is such a cute baby with TONS of black hair and cute little kissable cheeks. I sure hope our little boy is as cute. Rob and Jamie are both just so excited to have him here.
Now for an update with me and our still nameless baby... As of Monday I am dilated to a 3 and 80% effaced. Dr Willis went ahead and scheduled me to be induced on July 5th, but he didn't think I would make it that long. So we will see how early this munchkin comes. I'm excited to at least have a for sure end date! I will keep you posted, but my next post just may be with pictures of the baby! We are all so excited! :)

Pictures...

It's been a while since I've posted pictures, so here's what we've been up to... For Memorial Day we went to Thanksgiving Point's petting zoo. Mya absolutely loved it!

She loved feeding every animal and asks if she can feed them everyday. Thankfully she helps Daddy feed the dogs every night instead.

Her favorite was riding the pony. Unfortunately, the carousel at the mall just doesn't cut it anymore. She always tells us she wants to ride "that kind of pony" referring to a real one.

This donkey was so much fun to feed. He would run back and forth to eat out of our hands. Mya loved it, when most of the other kids were too afraid.

Our cute family...

So Mya loves to play with her Little People (which are actually Grandma Curtis' but she's now claimed them as hers). She loves to line them all up and they have to be in the same direction. If we turn one the wrong way she freaks out. Just a funny little fetish of hers.

Notice the top picture they are all facing her, then the bottom picture they are all facing out. haha

Crazy Lady

I had to write the post down before I forgot about it. In some ways this blog is Mya's little memory book or journal of funny things she says or does. So last night just before we were to say prayers and put Mya to sleep, we had a "Crazy Lady" debate. A few months back Scott would call Mya a crazy lady in a funny Chinese accent and she would laugh and laugh. Now Mya will fight back and call you a crazy lady and point right in your face. The way she says "crazy lady" is so funny. So we were all going back and forth calling Daddy, Mommy, and Mya crazy lady and just giggling. We settled down for prayer and Mya began as usual... "Heavenly Father, prayer, thank you." Then she repeats it a couple times before Scott or I step into help. Scott says, "Thank you for mommy and daddy" and Mya repeats, "Thank you for mommy crazy lady, daddy crazy lady." I busted out laughing and could not control my giggles through the remainder of her prayer! She just cracks me up. She is getting better at saying the prayers all by herself, and when we prompt her to say more she tries to cut it short by saying "Christ, amen" after everything we ask her to repeat. It amazes me how quickly she is picking up on new things...
Another funny thing this morning... At about 7:00 I hear this thud and Mya crying; sure enough I go into her room and she has fallen off her bed while sleeping! I pick her up and bring into our bed and she falls back asleep for another hour. The first thing she says when she wakes up, "Mom, fell out of bed and hit head," as she rubs her forehead, "Darn it!" (She loves to say darn it when ever something bad happens.) Ohh what a "crazy lady" I have for a little girl. We love her to pieces!!!

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!
