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!

Blessing Day and Growing Boy

Mason Wade was given an awesome blessing by his Daddy on Sept 6th. Here are a few pictures documenting the special day...

My two handsome boys!
Proud Mom!
Our cute little family
Kind of smiling with Grandma Durfey...
4 generations on Mom's side
4 generations on Dad's side

You better believe it! It's that time of year again! GO UTES!!!
Mason has 3 different Utah onesies to rotate every Saturday through the football season :)

Little Wade just had his 2 month check up. He weighed in at 12 lbs exactly and 23 1/4 inches long, both in the 50th percentile. I checked back to compare him with Mya and she was only 9 lbs 11 oz at her 4 month check up! He is definitely a big boy compared to her! Here's a couple of cute pictures showing his cute personality...
He is so much fun. I am so blessed to have the 2 cutest kids in the world!

I'm a big kid now!

I forgot to mention in my previous post possibly the biggest recent news of all; Mya is potty trained! It took about 2 solid weeks but we all made it through in one piece and still smiling. :) I definitely would NOT recommend potty training with a 2 week old baby. I swear every time I would sit down to nurse, she would need to go potty! But it's all better now and I'm so glad I don't have to change two sets of diapers!


Here she is posing with her potty chart. I only had to use this for one week and she only had 3 accidents!

This was after she tried to put her panties on by herself. I had to take a picture because she was so proud she did it all on her own. I'm still trying to teach her the tag goes in the back! haha

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!

Where has the time gone???

I can't believe six years have come and gone! I still feel like we are newly weds! haha This is not my favorite wedding pic, but its the only one I have scanned in and all our pics are in storage... It sure does bring back a lot of memories! I love you my Hotty Scotty!

For Grandma and Grandpa

So snuggly after his first bath

Spending time with Daddy; My two handsome boys!

Mason with his cousin Haws, just 12 days older. Jamie and I may be in for a ride with these two!



These little movie clips are for you Grandma and Grandpa Curtis! I still can't figure out why the dumb Skype camera won't work! :(
