Isn't it about... time!?!

So yes it has now been over two months since I last posted and it's not been due to the fact of not having to blog about- it's been quite the opposite actually. Four letters sum up the last 8+ weeks B-U-S-Y!!! Here is a very quick run down of what has happened in that time frame: Mason rolling over, Mya and Scott's birthdays, Christmas, Mason's first tooth, New Years, Mya into primary, Mason's teeth number 2,3,4 and now almost 5, Scott back in school (on top of the full and part time jobs), and me working 30 or more hours/week. Phew! It gives me a headache thinking about all of it, so I'm now just going to post a bunch of random pictures detailing what I've missed...

What do you wish with a BONK on the head?

Yeah clothes! Her eyes look a little possessed!

Pathetic horse cake, I know... It was last second idea. I think I'll just stick with the store bought!

Precious

We are finally getting with the times- an MP3 Player!

Our southwestern, chili decorated Christmas tree thanks to g-ma!

I love this Santa Claus with the real reindeer!!!

Lights at Temple Square

Mason played baby Jesus for the first half of our nativity and Haws did the second half

Our little angel

The boys loved being naked... Mason was so irreverant making noises while Dad read the scriptures which made everyone laugh.

CHRISTMAS!!!!

PAPER!!!!

Mason didn't feel too good on Christmas because his first tooth came in on the 23rd and his second tooth was working it's way through too. You can tell he has a snotty nose in this pic.

Lounging in the new stroller Scott surprised me with. I don't have a picture of it, just recorded, of Scott opening my gift to him- tickets to see the NCAA March Madness men's basketball games at the Energy Solutions Arena. It is for 2 days for all the games in the elite eight. I got his brother's wives to buy some too so the brothers will all get to go together. I think I was more excited than he was since I bought them clear back in June!

Teaching Mason how to jump.

Feeding her new baby- she is such a good mommy :)

Mason's favorite spot to roll- under the table

Not so much a baby any more, looks like a little man!

I love these two!!!

A few funny stories that I want to write down about Mya... She absolutely loved Christmas and keeps thinking Santa is going to come again. She always asks me how many more days until Christmas and doesn't quite understand how long she has to wait until next December. Just the other morning she wanted to watch Mickey Mouse's Christmas. As she was laying on my bed she says, "Mom, I'm still tired." I said, "Okay just lay down." She pops her head back up, "Mom don't touch me, don't wake me up until Santa gets here." I laughed and said "Okay..." Then she adds, "And I want lots of toys!" Ohh what a character. She again told me just yesterday, "Mom, why didn't Santa come?!? I want him to still bring me that big horse that bounces up and down!" (like the own her cousin Sage got). It's going to be a looonnnggg countdown to Christmas at this rate!
This past Sunday Mya's primary teacher, Sis Peterson, ask "Why do we pray?" And Mya's first response was, "So Daddy doesn't get mad at me"
Just last night as Scott was leaving to go to school Mya says, "But Dad, I thought you were going to stay home with me and run around?" Scott replies, "I wish I could, but if I don't go to class I'll do bad on my test and then would fail the class." Then Mya's suggests her brilliant idea, "Then why don't you just quit?!?" Scott and I just started laughing. We often wonder where she learns to use new words in a proper sentence. She is cracking us up all the time. My new favorite phase of hers is "Mom, do you know I love you?" :)

Well hopefully my next post won't take me so long, but if it does I'm sure this post has enough pictures to hold you over! Til next time!!!

Mason's 4 month check up

I know I am behind on my updates; one of these days I'll be caught up, but for now here's Mason's stats at his 4 month check up (since he will be 5 months tomorrow). Weight: 14 lbs 14 oz (50th percentile) Height: 25 1/2 inches (75th percentile) and his head circumference was also 75th percentile. I figured I better brag about him being this long while it last, because it may be the only time he is one of the taller kids his age! :) He is growing so fast and is so much fun!

HALLOWEEN!

Praying really, really hard...

Are we done yet???

In the words of Mya...

I have been wanting to write down all the funny things Mya has said lately, and figured what better place to save it than on our blog! So here are some funny quotes from my little 2 year old, most of which I have found are her translation of what I say to her :)

• "Mom will you do me a favor? Get me my potty treat."
• "Here Mom I will count for you. Go! 1-2-3..." This was when she wanted me to go pick up her toy she had thrown down the stairs.
• "Oh Mason, you're just fine."
• "I'm ready to talk!!!" This is after she has been sitting in time out.
• Whenever we call her crazy, or silly, or funny, etc she responds "I'm not crazy I'm Mya Curtis DayLynn!"
• My favorite: "Thank you for loving me mama."
• "Hey, you don't talk to me like that."
• "What the heck/freak am I doing?" haha This is usually when she is taking too long cleaning up her room
• Mya will also yell out while driving every time she sees a temple (or church), a deer (including the fake one we see every time we leave the subdivision), every slide (which includes all the indoor slides at fast food restaraunts), or an airplane. If we do not quickly respond she will continue to yell it. We call her eagle eyes (of which she will respond "I'm not eagle eyes, I'm Mya Curtis DayLynn!")
• She loves to sing and often does a fun remix of I am a Child of God with the ABC's and I Love to See the Temple...

These are just a few fun quotes that make me laugh and keep me smiling through the day...

I forgot one more story! A few weeks ago Mya was being a little stinker and pushing my buttons. After throwing her PB sandwich on the floor I sent her to timeout in the dining room, while I went back to the bathroom to finish getting ready. While putting on my makeup I could hear her singing as loud as possible, I am a Child of God. I couldn't help but laugh. It made me wonder if she was just being sweet or if she thought this would help her get off timeout any sooner. It was sweet, but she still sat on timeout for the full 2 minutes :)

Better Late Than Never!

I am now finally posting pictures from our trip to the zoo on the 26th of September. We only had 2 hours to cram everything in, but I think we made good time. Here's some fun pics of the exciting event...

Mya thought the monkeys were neat, but I was surprised she wasn't too thrilled with them either. Of course she loved getting her picture taken as often as possible.

Here posing with daddy to be as tall as the giraffes. I think she was surprised how tall giraffes really are.

I think Mya's favorite was the elephants, because we had such a good view of the baby elephant. Watch the cute video below of the baby playing in the mud hole right after being hosed clean. I must admit that little elephant was dang cute!

Posing with mom on the gorilla... Mya loves carousels, we go to the mall about every 2 weeks for her to ride the horsies. :)

Gotta have a pic with the cool lion drinking fountain!

Scott and Mya went on the fun little train ride...

While Mason and I waited. I thought I better take a picture of him for proof he was there with us. I didn't want to take him out of the stroller because he slept the whole time! It was a fun trip, but after the hurried 2 hours we were all tuckered out!

Mason loves to eat his fingers, especially two hands at a time! I can't believe how much he drools and slobbers everywhere!!!

I finally caught a big grin on camera. As soon as he sees me pull it out he always stops and stares. He is so much fun. I can't believe how big he is getting!
