Is There Anyone Still Out There?

I must start by saying Vincent bought me a new computer! I can't believe it! The last time I've updated my blog was June 15th. JUNE 15h! That has been way too long!
Our computer broke while I was gone visiting family in Idaho and now we finally have a computer so I can update you! (If I have time) The holidays are coming and I'm going to be extremely busy with planning, cooking, shopping, giving, and traveling!
But for a quick update we've been doing our same old routine. Wake up, breakfast, get ready, school, play, lunch, nap (relaxing time for me) play, fix dinner, a little tv and then play and bedtime. (Vince is gone most of the day working. He works so hard and I'm so proud of him.) On Vince's day off all we do is play! Mostly frizbee golf (sp?) We're not so good at it, but we're definitely improving! Mya loves it too, it's a great family activity.
Sadly we're not going to be in Idaho for any of the holiday's festivities. We're spending Thanksgiving with some of my favorite people, Daneile and Chris. They've made living out here fun and eventful (Game nights mostly) For Christmas we're going to be traveling, but we'll be going somewhere we've never been: North Carolina. My brother and his PREGNANT wife (still so excited about that) are stationed out there and they won't be going home either. So in a phone conversation that took place in June, Mike and I planned to have our own Christmas celebration! I'm super excited and can't wait!
Well, that's it for now. I'll try to get pictures on here and see what I can do about updated y'all about our wonderful summer. (p.s. Mya is getting a slight southern accent with certain words! Ex. Hungry Mya ex. Huungray)
And now I will leave you with that super funny and cute story! Ta ta!

Three Is In Sight...

Mya's birthday is in sight! Vince and I have been out shopping for her and let me tell you it is so hard to pick just ONE toy! I wanted to get her soo many things, but Vince and I had decided before we got to the store that we would each pick out one toy for her. We had fun running around the store trying to decide on what would be the perfect present.
Today Mya and I went to the store with some friends and got her birthday party supplies. She decided on an Ariel theme, again. Last year was princess, but mostly Ariel. This year it will be just Ariel. Also this year we're expecting more than just one girl to show up :D Anything will be better than last year, hahaha!
I'll be posting her party and Amanda's stay. I had to just post about her birthday because I am so super excited that I'm acting like it's my own party! Maybe I'll have a princess party too! I mean who doesn't like princesses! Until next time...

Small Update

First I want everyone to know that as lonely as I've been, life has been happy! I'm no longer stressed about Mya. I will tell you why: I gave up! :) haha, I put her back in diapers and told her when she's ready to let me know. She still pees on the toilet, now I'm waiting for her to tell me she wants to poop on the toilet. All I care about is my relationship with her and since I've stopped putting so much stress on her and me we've been a lot happier and have been getting along much better. She's now the sweet little girl I used to know!
Vince has been hard at work and it has finally paid off! He got a raise and that takes off a bunch of stress off us! I'm so proud of him! Last night we had made little block hats with Mya's foam puzzle. We put them over our heads like a space helmet! We couldn't stop laughing! Vince couldn't get his off because his head is so big :)

Mya has been wanting to be a ballerina for some time now and her reward for becoming fully potty trained is to take ballet classes. I took a video of her dancing! I hope this works!

Lonely Out Here

Once again, it's been quite some time since I've posted anything. I haven't been in the best of moods lately. I've been homesick way bad and was rather jealous my husband was able to go visit home without me. :) Happy he could be there for his friend, sad I couldn't be there for mine.
Nothing exciting has happened since we moved in the apartment, still the same routine. Mya has been very cranky and I must admit I have been angry too :)
We're still working on the potty training and I'm proud to say that Mya has finally started pooping in the toilet! It's a very long and hard process, but she's getting better on going more often so if it takes us an hour of playing "the dinosaurs are coming!" I'll do it everyday rather than have my little one hurt and cry when she won't go for a whole week. Mya and I have a deal going on that if she goes five times with no accidents then we'll go and buy her a Rapunzel doll. She tells everyone, even strangers! We're on number four right now, but she's putting up a big fight for this last one :( Wish I could push a button and make her go.
We haven't seen much of Vince since he's gotten back. He's been hard at work. I must say as much as he stresses me out, I am very proud of him :) He's a good man and a good dad, couldn't ask for better if you want my opinion. ;) Still wonder to this day how he came to the conclusion that I was the one for him, beats me, but beyond glad! Yes, I had to boast for a minute on what an awesome, cool husband I have!
Mya's birthday is coming up and we're expecting Vince's little sis Amanda to come see us! Yay! We're looking forward to seeing her! Anyone else who wants to visit, please do! I'd love to show off where we live but most of all I'd love the company! haha
Nothing else to report, just living everyday the same pretty much. I'll try to get out more so I have something to post about :) I have taken some pictures on the projects Mya and I have been doing, I'll have to post them when I have my camera around me the same time I'm playing on the computer (which is rare)

Wonderful Friends

Mya has made a new friend, her name is Lore and she absolutely loves her! Of course it helps that Lore's mother is pretty cool too, so it's a win win! :)  These girls are so cute to watch play!





Our New Home

This is our new home, at least for another year it is. It's so nice to be out and on our own! I haven't hung any pictures up yet, but I will. Mya loves the new apartment and is so excited when we're heading there. She says "Mya goes to her new home!" Super cute! Vince and I love it to and enjoy our nice quiet evenings watching Top Gear together.

This is when you first enter our house:

To your left is the living room:

And the to the right is the dining area and kitchen:

Here is our kitchen:

Mya's room is the first room on the left.

She has a giant closet that I'm super jealous of! Her and her friend Lore love to play in it! It's the perfect play house for the girls :)

This is Mya's bathroom, giant just like her closet. :) She gets excited when she needs to go pee because she can do it all by herself. Turn the light on and climb on her step stool. She can even wash her own hands!

 Mine and Vince's bedroom. It's much bigger than the one we had before and it's bare because we don't have much furniture! :) Our closets are much tinier than Mya's and we wish they were bigger, but we're still so excited to have our own place that we don't care!

Our bathroom is perfect because it's only mine and Vince's, no one else! Can you tell I'm excited?!?!


Vistors are more than welcome!! :-D

I'm Back! (Sorta)

I'll give you all a quick quick update since it's been a few months!

Vince and I found a little puppy wandering around our house, so we took him in and are in the process of finding his family, but around here lots of people drive out here and drop off their dogs and leave, never to be seen again. We don't know what we're gonna do with the little if we can't find him a family. :(

Mya is being potty trained and is almost done!! I can't believe it! Today, when I asked her if she were dry she sighed, rolled her eyes and said, "Mya doesn't pee in her panties anymore, mom." I was expecting her to put her hands on her hips, but I guess she isn't that princessy yet! I am so proud of her, she's my little angel!

Vince has been working really hard, but also finds time to spend with me and Mya! There are some big decisions we're going to have to be making soon, like where we're going to live in a couple of months and when we're going to be heading back to Idaho. I really want to get settled, so I say we come back in October. Vince says he wants more adventure and it's really hard for me to say "No, we should do this" because he loves his job and it's important to me that he likes what he does. At the same time it's really hard to say "ok, hun, we'll do what you want to do" :) I want to be back close to family and friends and get a house and then a puppy and then have another baby!

Me? I've been super baby hungry, I've talked to Vince, but he wants to hold off for a little bit longer. I just feel that it's the right time to start at least trying, but hey, it'll happen when it does. :) I've also been spending a lot of time with crafts! I want a house with a large extra room so I can make my own craft room!

That's all I have for now! hope everyone has enjoyed this update! I'll try to get on here more with pictures and stuff! (But I can't promise you anything)
