 Well, I am actually 39 weeks and 2 days but here is a pic of me at 38 weeks. I don't think much has changed ;) I have gained quite a bit this pregnancy. I won't even say how much I weigh. I don't think I have even posted anything about this pregnancy, have I? I think Mariah kind of announced it. We are having another girl. Her name is Lily or Lilly, can't decide which way to spell it. I think I

I made the pants out of black construction paper and tape, the shirt from a napkin and the tie from red construction paper. Oh and the hat from tooth picks and a white napkin I markered black.   This was my first time trying to make clothes for an animal, next time I'll use real fabric! It took me hours to make this outfit! I had the idea, that V and myself, could make a little

I was on the eBay classifieds on the main computer "just looking" at the puppies around our area when I came across a classified that said they would trade a Maltipoo puppy for a laptop. When I was telling Savannah this, Sophie overheard and yelled, "No! My yappa!" which is Sophie language for, "No! My laptop!" and she ran and grabbed her Leapfrog laptop as if to prevent any trading going on. :D

How many times have I heard Savannah yell from across the house, "I need help with Sophie!!" when Sophie's being a handful. And in recent weeks, when Savannah does something that annoys Sophie, she'll yell, "I nee hope ih Sannah!" it's hilarious! She talks a lot more, using full sentences like, "Mya, pea-uh-biyu honey sanchich," translation: Mya, I want a peanut butter sandwich," or "Sosi (

Okay, not actively at the moment, but I want one! We will be able to get a puppy after baby Lilly is born, (she's due February 1st!!! Yay!! Another sister!) after things get back to normal and mom gives the OK, and we will be going to the shelter to get one. Now, I am known for being a HUGE doggie lover, and the bigger the dog the more I like them. If I could get the dog of my dreams a Great Dane

She's such a ham! Look at her posing for the pic! Savannah was under the coffee table that they had pushed to the entertainment center (Y? IHDK) she was wrapped up in a blanket and had no clue that Sophie was up there. :D LOL Mya----the R-E-B-E-L

Hello folks! Yesterday was a milestone in my life of fourteen (almost fifteen!) years. I shot a gun!!! I first shot my dad's pistol. I don't remember what he called it but it's a big hand gun(or at least it was to me, I have small hands).  My Paw Paw and my dad took me to a gun range near my grandparents house, and lemme just tell you, when i first saw that place, I my doubts as to it's

Hello! Long time no write? Right? In case you couldn't tell, this is Mya. :D I haven't been blogging that often lately because, well for one thing, I've been busy. Secondly, I have started school again. Thirdly, I have been writing five brand new novels that I began writing once I got my laptop. And fourthly, I have been reading on Christianbook.com!

And no, I wasn't referring to the actor. He still lives and breathes to my knowledge. this still isn't him, but this one looks MUCH more like him than the other one! I had named my little schnauzer puppy Sterling Knight. We got him on Monday, and he was a great pup, everybody loved him. He threw up on Wednesday, and was lying down all morning, and he wouldn't eat and couldn't keep anything

Hello folks, Mya here. As you can see by the title there's a new blog. But whose? Well, her favorite color is pink (most folks thinking that it is blue and red), she loves dogs (big ones mostly =) ), loves to write and inconsistently posts on this blog. =D And if I wasn't the one who popped into your head then I guess mom would be the next person. Only mom does NOT like big dogs, she prefers

 Okay, she turned 2 last month but I have been busy. One of the fun things that kept me busy was us getting food poisoning. You can imagine how delightful that was. I thought I would post some pics of Sophie's b-day present from us and my parents. Even Savannah plays with it so it should get many years of play. She got this play house: Adventure Playsets Winchester Playhouse It was on sale at

   Savannah wanted to buy the Ergo Baby Doll Carrier with her own money. She is 9yo, will be 10yo in March, and it still fits her! Granted, it probably won't fit her for more than a year or so more. Ergo recommends this carrier for ages three and up, but Sophie is almost 22months and it fits her on the smallest settings so you can probably get a good 6 to 8 years out of it. It definitely

    We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. It was our first holiday hosted in our new house. We invited both of our families and here are some of the pics from that day. It was a day of giving thanks, eating, playing, riding the four wheeler, eating, talking, drinking hot chocolate, and did I mention eating?     We tried to have a campfire since it was the first real cold front of the year (

No, ladies and gentleman, when I wrote the above sentence I was not referring to the much debated subject of life and the afterlife. I was referring to Anna Sophia Botkin's recent post about turning 25. She said that her life probably couldn't have deviated any farther than what she had imagined as a teen. That is when I uttered that desperate cry! OK, maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of it

 Sophie has learned to say "out". Of course, it sounds more like a mix between "at" and "out" but she actually knows what she is saying. It is the first word that she says that we know has actual meaning. She has been saying "dada" and "mama" but I couldn't always tell if she meant US. She also has started saying "ah-bah" for baby but not all the time. But, when she says "out" she really means

Well, it looks like I was able to get pics working okay but I am still having a few other issues. Here are some recent pics. They were taken on the porch and in our yard. Savannah likes to carry Sophie in the carrier. I loved her smile so much I had to zoom in on it. This shows the Sophie we see all the time but I don't get on camera often.

This is way late but this last winter it snowed a little and since we get maybe an inch of snow every few years it is always a big affair when it happens. We take pictures and videos. Yes, some of you are laughing but we spend most of the year in the 90's so a change of pace is nice. :D This was Sophie's first winter and also her first experience with snow.

I am not very consistent with blogging as evidenced by the fact that it has been over 9 months since I last blogged. There are many reasons why I took a break. One is that I wanted to just enjoy time with my new baby and family and not worry about much else. Then the holidays came around and that is always a busy time. Then we were looking for a house. In February we bought our first house! It

I just realized that Sophie is wearing nothing but a diaper in almost every picture. That's probably because she is a very hot blooded child and so we keep her in just a diaper most of the time unless we go out. I did the same with M and S, and I had a hard time getting Savannah to keep clothes on until she was about 5-6yo! I think I will learn from that with Sophie and at least by the time she

Marrying into a Mexican family has meant learning a lot of new things over the years, mainly in the eating category. Chile (pronounced more like chee-le, short e) or salsa, as we white people call it ;) , is a staple in the Mexican diet. David likes to refer to it as his "Mexican butter". There are probably lots of ways to make real chile but this is our favorite way and it is very easy. Some

This is a common sight around here. Sophie is rarely put down, there is always someone who wants to hold her. :) See how her hair spikes up? She has this cute little cowlick on the back of her head.

Is it really possible for babies to turn over at such a young age?? We laid Sophie on her stomach and this is what she did: First she turned on her side. Then she turned onto her back! In the pic it looks like she is still on her side but she is really on her back.

David loves his girls :) He is such a good daddy to them. Sometimes people will feel sorry for him that he has all girls. He doesn't understand why. Of course he would love any boys the Lord gives us but he doesn't feel that girls are any less of a blessing. Each child is a unique gift from God. I'm so glad he is my husband and the father of my children. ******************************************

I'm sure most people know that cloth diapering is cheaper than using disposable diapers (well, in most cases). When I found out I was pregnant I started researching cloth diapering. I knew I wanted to use them this time around and David was 100% on board. There are many options out there but the cheapest route is to use prefolds and covers.There are two basic options when it comes to prefolds,

I am 39 weeks and 4 days today. This past week I have been having lots of Braxton Hicks and lower back and front pain. It has usually been a mild pain. Yesterday the pain was a little worse and I had a lot more of it. Today it has been almost constant. It hurts to walk most of the time.I am seriously ready for Sophia to get here :) But, it still seems almost unreal that some time soon I will

Savannah turned 8 on March 29th. I told you in the last post that I am behind in writing here. I know this is a bit ridiculous to be THIS behind, but I didn't want to skip her birthday post so here it is. I have a lot more pics of Savannah than I do Mariah, partly because Mariah takes a lot of the pics (with the camera we bought her for Christmas). I thought I could show you some of her

This pic is really from 29 weeks, but that's the closest I have. :) The last couple of weeks Sophia has been very active. She has also had at least 3 bouts of hiccups. :) The funny thing is that nobody else could feel the hiccups the last 2 times, but David was able to feel them the first time.
