Mya's first car!!! Grandma Tanner got this for mya's firts birthday and she is loving it. She doesn't know exactly what is going on when she sits in it but she wants you to push her around in it forever! Thanks Cindy, we love it!

 

 

Ok so this is a picture of our toilet. Probably wondering why I would post a picture of our toilet. Well just like tipping garbage cans over my tomamto plants I can't pass up a pic that shows just how red neck we are! Todd was sitting on our toilet seat on day and ya heard this snap sound, sure enough the toilet seat broke. No sweetie this is not a "fat joke" those of you who know todd knows that he always says that. I would have broken it to if I had sat on it at that moment as well, it was just a really old seat! So most people after that would have gone and got a new toilet seat. No not us. So we have it for a couple of more weeks until todd says the cracks keeps pinching him, so than he got some duck tape and wrapped it! So here are some pictures of the toliet seat. Don't worry we bought a new one yesterday, and soft, squooshy (is that a word) and todd loves it. He kept trying to get me to test it out and sit on it. I refused to but he tested it out for the both of us just chillin on the seat with his clothes on. He is so excited about it to. As if he doesn't spend enough time in there, now I really won't see him a lot!!!

 

 

Girls Night Out

Ok so me and my really good friends had a girls night out. We stayed at a hotel and ate lots of junk food until we were all a little sick! But I think I enjoyed it a little too much. So much so that I could do it once a week really. To bad my budget won't allow it but gosh it really was so nice to just go aways, I didn't have to be a mom, and it was my first time leaving Mya, I know...Anyways I didn't miss her. Is that mean? Well it is the truth, I loved just relaxing and not worrying if she was going to wake up in the middle of the night or whatever else. It was so fun and I am so glad we could all do it! We must do it again when we can ladies. I love ya girls

Just Playin Around

Todd's family came and stayed with a us for a couple of nights. Here are some fun pictures of Mya just playing around!

 

 

 

 

Mya can MOVE!

Mya can sit up from a lieing position. I have worked with her forever on this, it was so hard for her to sit up over her belly. But she finally can do it. But now I hate it cause when i lay her down for a nap she sits up and cries and cries until she can't cry anymore and now just about everytime I lay her down I have to go back in about 45 minutes later and straighten her out again. She sleeps on her legs bent in half. I guess I now need to teach her how to go from a sitting position back down to laying position she is so funny. ALSO I HAVE GREAT NEWS! Mya is crawling. I know for a lot this is nothing huge, but for our little one it is huge. She has "bad legs" the doctors have told me and said she may never crawl and or if she learns to walk it won't be for a long time. Mya is over 1 years old and I just felt so sad that she couldn't get around, you could tell she wanted to. But the other day out of no where she starts crawling. I was so happy! I have been working with her endlessly to try and show her how to crawl and bend her kneed which really hurt her. I didn't think I was getting anywhere, until that night she just went for it. Ah I am so happy. She will and is crawling and despit what the doctors say she will walk and I know she will even run one day too! She is a fighter and she is not going to let two bad legs get in her way! We love you mya. Don't have a pic of her crawling but will get on here soon.

 

 

I absolutly love the faces this little one can pull off. She has the cheesest grin in the world. She smiles so hard her eyes shut all the way and you can just see her little top row buck teeth. These are not the best shot of her hard core cheese grin but close to it!

 

 

Garden

 

 

These are my first veggies of the garden! Don't they look tasty, yes they were. Well don't be fooled by the tomato it was rotton on the bottom! Can't figure out how...it wasn't laying on the ground, in fact it was way on the top! WIERD!!!

 

 

MY GARDEN

Me and Todd were determined to do a garden this year, but I was a little hesitant not really knowing how to grow one. Lets be honest, when mom left me in charge of watering the plants or watering anything for that matter, it had a tendency to DIE! I don't know what it is...I kill everything. I either over water it, under water it. But I will have you all know that not one thing has died in my garden. At times it looked on it's death bed but it made a turn around and is growing like crazy. Our tomato plants our out of control, every day we have to tie another branch up cause it's so heavy and tips to the ground. Also we have peppers, corn, cucumber, cantaloupe, beans and that's it.

 

 

 

 

SCHOOL

Ok so I have been stressing out SO SO SO bad about school this year...teaching it not attending it. I just barely got some of my texts books I will be teaching out of, yea so nice of them, school starts next month. I have been cramming all summer to try and get ready, and I still feel so unready and unprepared! AH AH AH I am teaching Science, don't ask me why I am so not licensed to teach Science, but leave it to our school system to find some way to cheat the system, our poor students. I really am dreading to teach science, I always hated that class myself and haven't' taken a science class in I don't know 8 or 9 years! SO I have been teaching myself science, physical science that is, not the funnest summer ever! My other two classes I am teaching English and Reading which should be great. This is my ever so faithful husband who has listened to me whine about not being ready for school. So he is making my RULES poster for me, yes he has better hand writing than me, sad I know. Thanks a ton for helping me sweetie, you have been so patient with me!

 

 

Birthday Decorations

Ok so whoever made birthdays parties that had to have these huge themes, with party favors, and your choice out of 10 different desserts, and the whole sphill??? Growing up you all got the same decorations, balloons, streamers, the happy birthday sign, and I know very old fashion...cake and ice cream. Who would think of that at a birthday party. SO that is just how I decorated Myas Big day, she got balloons streamers and cake and ice cream. I didn't feel the need to go way out on her first b-day, she doesn't even know whats going on! Ok so maybe this is all an excuse because I have absolutly NO creativity, and really you don't need a creative mind to blow up balloons and hang streamers. It really was a fun day though and I actually had a lot of fun hanging up her decorations...old school way!

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Mya
