Oh, I love this little girl

I have more Utah pictures to blog about, but I just had to post these pictures for my mom's sake....I'm sure she's missing this little face right now :)

Utah: Hawkins

We did some fun things with Josh's family while we were Utah, but I also had one wonderful afternoon where the girls and I had Josh's parents all to ourselves! 

Josh had already left for New Hampshire, but Bryn and Mya and I drove down to spend some time on the farm.

 I love Mya's fuzzy hair in this one :)

 It didn't take long for Bryn to find this lovely wig in the dress-ups!

 Bryn got a special tour of Grandma's garden

"Sunflowers as tall as giraffes!?!"

 They found a little ladybug and Bryn thought it was magical.

Visiting my in-laws is seriously one of my very favorite places to be!

It is so relaxing and beautiful to be out in "the country" and to sit back in their living room and just talk and laugh and listen to stories. Josh's parents are amazing and my girls are so lucky to have them as grandparents!

Tueller Swim Party

On our way to New Hampshire we stopped in Utah for a little bit, and we were so glad to be there for the annual Tueller family swim party with my mom's side of the family. It was so fun to see everyone!

Bryn was so excited about it! When things were crazy with the move we kept telling her "once we finish packing everything up it will be time for the SWIM PARTY in Utah!" :)

Bryn was in heaven jumping off the waterfall, sliding down the slide, and swimming around

Mya did not participate in the swimming, sliding, or jumping off of the waterfall. 

She lounged poolside, and enjoyed being held by everyone :)

Here's Josh going for a pass. 

 It was fun seeing my cousins Diana and Cara who were visiting from New York and New Jersey. It will be fun being back east with them, only 4-5 hours away.

Mya's Baby Blessing

On August 12th Mya had her baby blessing and it was such a beautiful day!

It was in Utah, as we were in the midst of our move from California to New Hampshire.

I love Mya so much and my heart was so full as Josh blessed her.

Here's our little family of four

We did the blessing at my parent's church and then had a gathering at their home afterwards.

It was so wonderful to have so many family members there to celebrate Mya with us!

Jae flew in from California, so it was a treat to be all together with my family

 Josh's parents

 My sister is pregnant (yay!!!) and I can't wait for Bryn and Mya to have a little cousin on my side of the family!

Four Generations

Two Months

Mya is two months old today!

At two months...

Mya does the sweetest little "coo-ing" noises

She smiles more and more, with a big open mouth smile

She is still not sleeping through the night, but she goes from about 11pm to 6 am, which is better than a few weeks ago!

She is a New Hampshire resident (as of Wednesday)

She is a great eater and has the rolls to prove it!

She is finally sleeping in her very own crib after almost two months of sleeping on a blanket on the floor (because of the move).

Her favorite new "trick" is bringing her hand to her mouth and licking it :)

We love Miss Mya and are so grateful she's in our family!

First time to church

 Today was the first time we've gone to church as a family of four!

I love my girls!

Pack Pack Packin'

In ten days our moving truck will be here to haul our stuff to New Hampshire. Yikes!

We've got a lot to do, but we got a lot done this week and it's all coming together.

Josh has been an all-star- packing, sorting, running errands, making phone calls, selling stuff on craigslist (including our second car!), and being patient with a sleep-deprived, stressed wife!

Bryn has been my little assistant- helping me pack boxes and wrap things in bubble wrap, offering her stuffed animals as filler in the boxes, and helping me clean the apartment...all while wearing her high heels and fancy apron (thanks Linds!). 

And Mya has been a little sweetie, even amidst the chaos. I can't wait for things to settle down so I can just have quiet, slow days to just sit and enjoy Mya as much as I want to!

Park Day

 I took a break from packing boxes this morning and Bryn and I played at a fun, new park nearby. Bryn had so much fun on this big web thing, playing with one of her BFF's Maddy.

 When I think about moving away from my amazing friends it makes me cry! But I'm also so sad for Bryn to leave her cute little friends! Bryn's kind of been an independent little lady and she used to just do her own thing when we'd have play dates, but she's finally getting to the stage where she love love loves to play with her friends. .....Just in time for us to move :(

Here are Bryn and Maddy three years ago. Time flies!

(Bryn's hair is as long now as Maddy's hair was three years ago! Ha ha!)

One Month

Mya is one month old today!

At one month...

She is becoming more and more alert, especially right after she eats.

She loves her baths and loves "tummy time".

She isn't spitting up like Bryn did! (We're crossing our fingers that would change!)

She is a really speedy eater and feeds in under 15 minutes from start to finish.

She eats at 6 am, 9 am, noon, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm, and 2 am. 

She loves the swing and loves being propped up to look around the room.

She's got a fuzzy head of hair, a chubby belly, and lots of rolls!

We love her!

Cutie Cute Cute

How cute is little Mya!? I can't take it!

I took Mya to the doctor last week for her belly button and the doctor said Mya had an ear infection ....which is kind of funny because Bryn's never had one in her three and a half years of life, but Mya gets one when she's only three and a half weeks! Mya was a little feisty last week (we'll blame it on the ear infection) and she wasn't eating or napping as well. But I guess the antibiotic kicked in because she's been so sweet the last two days, and has been back to eating and napping normally.

We love this cute little girl!

See....just look at the love.

(Brynlee is all about the "smoosh-hugs").
