Who Does Mya Love MOST?

She has such a high pitched little happy scream! I love it! My boys all said "DA DA" first, so this is a nice little change. We are working on saying "DA DA" too.

I love that the weather is warm enough again to be wearing shorts and spending hours at the park playing. While at the park you can catch each of my children doing something different. Drew spends hours playing basketball and getting games going with whoever happens to be there at the time. Ian has had fun playing with this toy! *See following photo. This miniature motorcycle/dirt bike (not sure what it is) belongs to our neighbors and Ian really wants one. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Owen spends most of his time scrounging up snacks from whoever will give him any. Mya just sits in the stoller soaking in the sun and looking cute!

I can picture my sister Carmin laughing at the HUGE flower on Mya's hat that looks bigger than her head, but I think its cute!

Let's Go Wildcats!!!!

So the BEST team did win! K-State STOMPED on BYU and then on XAVIER in DBL overtime tonight. My heart was racing and I did scare Mya a couple of times with my loud cheering. I loved watching it on our big screen tv, actually seeing the sweat dripping off the players faces . Unfortunately, Kenny was on call and got stuck down at the hospital having to watch it on his computer. K-State is in the final 8 and plays this Saturday. Going to be a good game. Hopefully, they will beat Butler this Sat. and move onto the Final 4 . I'm Proud To Be a WILDCAT!!!! Go STATE!

Wish I were there to hold up a head. Trying to talk Kenny into heading out to UT for the game this Sat.

Big Game this Saturday!

I come from a long line of K-State wildcat fans. Kenny comes from a long line of BYU fans. They play this Saturday and I will be wearing purple, Kenny Blue. Mya will be wearing purple, because I dress her, and I'm sure Kenny will have the boys in their BYU shirts. Drew says that he is going for BYU. Ian says he hopes both win. Owen is indifferent. However, I know they will root for whoever is winning at the time! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN!!!! GO STATE!

Fashion Trends

Owen has decided that he doesn't like me to pick out his clothes anymore or assist with putting them on. He says, "Me do it!" These are a couple of his outfits he's picked out the last couple of days. If I dare try and change him he is Livid! So as you can see he is making some pretty strong fashion statements.

Pajamas under the backwards sweatshirt and shorts.

This is by far his favorite shirt, courtesy Aunt Connie. He will come into our bed in the morning with his "Basketball" jersey on over his pajamas. He would wear this daily if he had his choice. I often leave it in the dryer just so he can't find it.

Owen sporting the backwards look again.

I am thankful for his independence. It could be worse.

And After. This is what I was given!

And this is what I got for him. OH YAH!

46in. LED TV It's his new baby! Happy V-Day to US!

So as Ian watched Mickey Mouse this morning he looked over at me with wide eyes and said, "Mickey Mouse is HUGE!"

2 Year Olds...

I love toddlers! They are learning so much about the world around them and I love seeing them discover new things and figuring out how things work. Owen everyday makes me laugh as I watch him. His curiosity and nonstop energy definitely keep me on my toes. Did I mention yet that he is also very independent at this age? Daily, more like hourly, I am cleaning up some kind of mess created by my two-year old. Unrolling a whole roll of toilet paper to wipe himself, spilling a whole box of cereal on the floor as he scales our pantry, and emptying a whole cabinet of blankets and sheets are just a few of his endeavors lately. It is much easier to keep up with him when I am not distracted with a baby. Extreme measures have been taken though. Kenny just put a lock on our pantry door that now has to be opened with a key just so I would stop calling him at work to tell him what Owen had gotten into that day. Even though I am constantly cleaning up after this kid I wouldn't have it any other way. I am thankful for his independence and his curiosity. He is such a sweet and fun little boy. He climbs into my bed every morning to wake me up and always has the biggest grin on his little face and says, " I wuv you!" I Love you Owen and thanks for keeping me on my toes!

He thinks he can just get anything he wants to eat at anytime of the day...NOT ANYMORE!!!!

This morning as I was cleaning lip gloss out of my Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush, Ian wanted to paint, I came out to discover a game of Go Fish being played in our linen cabinet. And I wonder why I am getting more and more grey hairs. I love being a MOM!

Look at that smile, how can I get angry with that cute face?

My little Super Hero Crashing at the end of the day.

They say the cutest things.....

Mya, my little girl, said in her prayers last night, "Please help us to be strong and healthy like the Hulk!"

Owen almost ran straight into a woman as we entered a dark parking garage. As I told him to watch out, he quickly yelled, "Well she's all black!" Coincidentally she was African American! She was wearing a black dress, which is what he was referring too!

Owen told me today, "You are the best mom I ever had! I love you all the way up to Jesus!" He also loves kissing and told Kenny, "I just want to stay home from school and kiss mom all day!"

Drew lost a tooth at school when he bit into his apple. He felt the tooth inside his mouth as he was chewing and when I asked him about it, he said, "I didn't realize it was mine and I wondered if it was one of the workers!"

While at church, a teacher asked the kids what happened to Jesus right after he was baptized and brought up from the water. Ian enthusiastically raised his hand and said, "He asked for a towel!"

After a long struggle with my boys, to get them inside, bathed, and into bed, I yelled, "I am done, go to sleep!" Owen looked up at me and said, "Mommy I'm sorry you're sad, but the problem is that you don't beat up Drew and Ian. Just beat them up and I will be on your team!"

We are not a family who eats beans, so when Drew went to a friends house to play and eat dinner, he was hesitant to eat the burrito that had refried beans in it. When I picked him up he said to me, "Mom she put mud inside the burrito!"

Aunt Connie pleaded with Owen to shoot his daddy with the gun instead of her and his response, "No, he's the best daddy i've ever had!"

I begged the boys to quit fighting and Drew looked at me and said, "Its not Mothers Day anymore mom!"

Owen got kicked in his "man hood" and said, "Oh, I hurt my Tenders!"

Drew asked this morning, "Mom in 2011 can we get a cat?"

Everytime I feed Mya prunes, Owen comes up to me and says, "Me like chocolate mom!" I give him a bite and his face turns to total disgust.

Owen ran up to me after wrestling the dogs and said, "Me see Cassie's boobies!"

While I was nursing Mya, Drew walked in and said, "Is she done drinking from your boob?" I replied, "No and it is called a breast, thats the proper way to say it." He looked at me puzzled and said, "No thats the Spanish word for it."

Kenny opened the fridge and said, "Something in here stinks." Ian looked at him and said, "Dad, sometimes I toot over there!"

Last night as the boys were saying good night to Mya, Drew looked up at me and said, "Mom, Mya has a boy haircut!"

Drew was reminding me about how when we saw macaws in Hawaii, that one of the macaws was chewing on a woman's hair. He said, about the macaw, "Thats not very nice, it's not choosing the right."

My favorite word Drew and Ian used to say when they were toddlers was, Laddie- for water. I thought it was such a cute word. Owen comes to the fridge and points his little finger and says, "Wa-Wa" for water. So cute!

Last night Kenny went in on a call to deliver a goat and Ian came into our bed. He climbed in and snuggled up beside me, he usually snuggles into Kenny. I asked him why he was snuggling with me and he said, "I can snuggle you because daddy isn't here mom!" He is such a daddy's boy.

Ian is such a daddy's boy. The other night Kenny had to go to the clinic and Ian was sobbing for him for a good twenty minutes because he wanted to go too. When I asked him why he was so upset he replied, "I just want my daddy, he is my favorite boy!"

Birthday parties celebrated in California are usually BIG! There is always a huge jumper, pinata, food for the whole family, and tons of presents. Well we went to a party last night and the boys spent 2 hrs. jumping in a big jumper. On our way home we saw another party going on that had an even bigger jumper with a slide attached. Ian asked, "Can we go to that party too?" I replied, "We don't even know who those people are. " His response, "Well lets just go ask them their names."

As we prepared to go to the Glenwood Springs pool in Colorado with Kenny's four sisters Drew impatiently said, "Come on girls, you're taking too long!" Kenny told him, "Get used to it, this is what men do, wait for girls to get ready."

Much to my dismay I found black ink all over our white sheets on our bed. I of course went straight to Ian and asked very sternly, "Did you write on my sheets with a pen?" With an innocent look he replied, "I was just trying to write my name."

Drew was watching me as I divided my hair into sections with clips to straighten it. He looked up at me and said, "Wow, you look beautiful!" Then when I was completely done with my hair he said, "You're a cute little mommy!"

Ian was dipping his finger in Kenny's contact solution and then touching his eye. I asked him what he was doing and he replied, "Just putting my eyes in mom!"
