Carving Pumpkins!

Well we finally had a night where Brennan was home early enough for us to carve some pumpkins. Mayz was excited to go pick out her pumpkins, but when it came to the actual carving of them, she wasn't too interested and it ended up being mom and dad while mayz went and played. I guess that is how it goes when they are this age. Silly kid!

You can't really tell, but mine says Mayz (so exciting i know) and Bren's is a wolf. His turned out pretty cool!

Mayzie's Surprise!!

Yep Mayzo is going to be a BIG sister and she couldn't be more excited (we hope;) Our next little bundle of joy is scheduled to arrive April 1, 2012 which makes me 15 weeks preggo!! We are so excited to watch our little family grow!

I'm a BIG girl now!!

Well goodness, my little baby just keeps getting so big, it kills me. She has gotten rid of some of her baby habits and now she is my big girl. First there was the binky a while back and now she goes potty on the big girl toilet!! What next............... Dating?!?! No way!! Anyways I really can't believe how big she is. We started potty training 3 days after her birthday and that first few days my only thought was, what was I thinking?? But then she just seemed to catch on and has done pretty dang good. I am so proud of her and how smart she is.

Just gettin so big!!

My cute girl sportin her pink panties. She loves to be in big girl panties now!

Birthday Girl!!!

Holey Moley my baby in no longer my baby. She is a little girl running around and being all big. How did this happen? I could've sworn I just brought her home for the first time and now 2 years have passed. My goodness. They have definitely been the best 2 years ever. She is the greatest little thing that has ever happened to us. She brings so much entertainment and joy, a lot of attitude but I wouldn't change a thing. Her birthday was on Friday, she had such a great birthday and was able to spend the day with family.

She woke up and requested a teddy bear pancake for her birthday breakfast.
My beautiful little birthday girl!

We had a birthday party for her that night with our families. It was so great to see all the love shown for Mayz. She is one lucky little lady! We had taken her to Chikfila for lunch but lame me forgot my camera.

We ate pizza and this girl chowed down 2 pieces. Turning 2 must have given her a bigger appetite;)

Mayz with her mountain of presents. She was spoiled rotten.

She just wanted to be able to play with her presents after she opened them. She didn't want to have to keep opening. Silly Kid!

She threw the tissue paper all over the place. She was in a hurry to get to the good stuff underneath!

Testing out her new bike.

Still opening presents!

We finished off the night with some yummy birthday cake.

Making her wish and getting ready to blow out the candle.

What a special day she had, thanks to all those that showed her their love. We are lucky to have family close and be able to share these moments with them. Love you all!!

Vacation Ideas!

Hello Everybody!! We are wanting to go on a little mini vacation and do something fun with mayz!! So we are just wondering where do you like to go that is not too far and not too expensive??

Don't you think this cute little gal needs to go do something fun??

Mayzie Door?!?!

Uh-oh! Mayz has figured out that she can fit through the doggie door. We have had it up for a while but she never really found any interest in it before. But now if I can't find her, this is definitely a place to look. Silly girl.

Almost there.
Duke patiently waiting his turn to go out HIS door;)


Time to come back in:) Love this girl!

Happy 4th!!

We had such a fun 4th of July Weekend, spent with family eating, relaxing, and fireworks. First we went to Scofield with Grandma and Grandpa Conner to enjoy the Scofield parade and fireworks. It was amazing how many people showed up to their little festivities. The parade was a little redneck but they threw lots of candy and we stocked up.

Mayz with gramma and grampa enjoying candy before the parade even started.
Watching Smokey drive by.

Just hanging out.

We went on some four wheeler rides. Mayz wasn't too fond of them.

Crazy Hair!

Mayz being silly girl.

Bren cooked us a dang good dutch oven meal. We will defintely be having that one again.

Just waiting to go to church. There was over 500 people at the little chapel in Scofield. We ended up outside sitting on a blanket on the lawn. Definitely a different experience. We couldn't hear anything so we had our own little testimony meeting with the others outside. It was pretty cool.

Cute girl in her pretty dress.

On Monday we headed up to the Allred cabin and enjoyed the outdoors. Mayz and Avery loved swinging with gramma.

She sure had her fair share of junk this weekend.

The boys played an intense round of frisbee golf.

Then we came home and watched the PG fireworks from my parents yard. Its so nice to be able to avoid the crowds and have a perfect view. They did such a good job this year.

Mayz in her chair watching.

We wore the girl out this weekend and she finally crashed. I was shocked she fell asleep in my arms and slept through the fireworks being done on the street. They were pretty loud but she was out.

We hope you all enjoyed your holiday. I am so thankful for this wonderful country and for the freedoms we are blessed with. So greatful for the great men and women who have served and continue to serve to protect those freedoms.
