My other baby!

Ever since we have brought mya home colton has become quite jealous of her. He climbs in her swing, bouncers and bassinett and thinks he is the baby. He is determined to be the baby still. Granted he is only 16 months and really still is a baby he wants to still be called the baby. Hopefully he will get over that and still know that we love him regardless that mya is around. It is challenging having 2 kids but it is getting better. Just trying to get into somewhat of a schedule well if you can call it that is hard. But colton is getting better with her and loves her a lot more than when he first saw her. He cant wait to see her in the morning he runs right over to her and wants to kiss her hair, i dont know why he does that but i think he likes the way her hair feels on his lips, weird i know but it is cute to see him love on her. He tries to help me burp her while i am feeding he pats her back and then laughs cause he thinks he is so cool and such a big helper (which he is) he loves to throw away her poopy diapers and then will give me a high five and then knuckles it is too cute. We love our crazy bug.

1 month old!

My little angel is 1 month old! i cant believe how fast time flies. She is such a joy to have in our home. colton is such a good big brother but gets jealous a lot when i am feeding Mya and holding her instead of him. I sometimes feel like i dont spend enough time with him but once i fully get a grasp on having a new baby, having 2 kids to take care of i will get better at being a good mom. Mya is soo sweet and precious. She is always laughing and smiling in her sleep. I always wonder what they think and dream about at this age. she is still a small little peanut but is growing each day and beautiful as can be. We are so happy to have her a part of this family we are truly blessed to have such wonderful babies. we love you mya and cant wait to see what you can do next. i realized that most of these pictures are of her sleeping, but that pretty much what she does and loves to do right now. Love you baby girl.

Easter Weekend!

Easter was fun this year cause colton knew a little more about what was going on. We went up to heber for my moms 60th birthday party. It was so much fun we rented a huge cabin that was able to fit all 37 of us and it had a lot of things to do there. i spent a lot of it inside cause i didnt want Mya to get sick cause it was cold there. But i was able to capture a lot of fun moments. There was a zip line that all the kids couldnt get enough of, even my mom went down it that was funny to see her going down it i think she even screamed, what a fun mom and grammy. That night we played family feud the in laws against the smith family, And we lost boohoo! but it was so much fun it got heated a few times but we had a blast.
Colton and andrew spent a lot of time playing on the playground and in the sand volleyball court and just running around. He loved it cause he was able to be outside a lot and had open range. Everyone just loved him and how happy and how he smiled all the time. i am so glad to have such happy babies. saturday morning was an early one for us mya woke up at 4:30 to eat which woke up colton so he was alive and wasnt about to go back to sleep. So we let daddy and Mya sleep while we went and played with the neices and nephews that we awake and they just loved to play with colton. colton is lucky to have such wonderful cousins who get on his level and could just play with him for hours. A few hours later (well a lot later) we had the egg hunt. Colton was so excited to get the eggs but wanted to eat each one as we went but he did a good job. Mya was a good baby let anyone hold her and slept a lot so she didnt really do much. We had to leave after lunch cause andrew had to work that night. We had so much seeing family that we havent seen in a long time, and also a shout out to my amazing mom we love you and happy 60th birthday!
We went to andrews moms on sunday and just hungout with his family, watched conference, and ate a ton of food. I just love spending time with family. Hope everyone had a great Easter! here are a few pictures of the weekend.

Crazy Colton!

Our crazy Little man is 16 months. He is so much fun to have around our home. He is into EVERYTHING like always and is a typical boy. He is such a good big brother, every morning when he wakes up and sees his sister he gets so excited and wants to hold her and kiss her it is so cute to watch. He is learning that he has to be soft with her and is doing really good. He will come and sit next to me and eat a snack while i feed sister he thinks he is pretty cool when he does that (i think he likes the snack more than anything.)
He is alway keeps us laughing it is never a dull moment with this crazy maniac. He loves to flirt with any girl he sees and is always so happy. For some reason every night he comes really alive and is crazy, he will chase around our dogs and think that it is the funniest thing in the world he laughs so hard that you cant help but laugh with him. He is really obsessed with airplanes, he will stop whatever he is doing and point up in the air when a plane goes by. When we go on walks and they fly over us he gets so happy and waves to them as they go by.
He loves to help me with whatever i am doing especially the dishes. He loves to throw away baby sisters diapers and helps with the laundry and his new thing is sweeping he thinks its pretty awesome when i let him have it and goes to the kitchen and pushes it around. Everytime i have to change his diaper i say lets change your bum and he runs to his room waiting for me and also for bed i say lets go nigh night and he runs to his bed. Everytime he hears the bath he is trying to strip off his clothes, once we help him he runs naked to the bath and trys to jump in. I just love this little man to pieces i could go on and on about him he is just so fun. Here are some pictures of him crazy as always.

2 weeks already!

Today my little princess is 2 weeks old! She is such a good baby and is doing good. Since she isnt really doing much since eating, sleeping and pooping all over me, she is such a joy to have in our home besides all the sleepless nights. I love all the noises she makes and smiles and laughs. Colton is such a cute big brother he loves her now and wants to hug and kiss her all the time. Sometimes he is a little ruff but that will get better. She went to the doctor today and her stats are:

Weight: 6lbs 7oz (5th percentile)
height: 19 1/2 inches (20th percentile)
Head: didnt get the measurement but (13th percentile)

So i am not use to seeing these numbers. I am used to seeing through the roof numbers, colton was such a big baby and mya is so itty bitty. but i guess that it is a good thing right. We are so lucky and blessed that we have this sweet baby girl in our home, we all just love her to pieces. well here are just a few pictures of our little girl.

Her favorite thing to do SLEEP!

Mya Ann Winters

SHE IS HERE! Our little princess made her debute into the world. Mya Ann Winters was born March 11th @ 7:04pm weighing in @ a whopping 6lbs 5oz and 19 1/2 inches long she was born @ 37 weeks and 1 day.
This delivery was a walk in the park, it was wonderful and fast. It was so fast it seemed like we blinked and out she came. I went into my doctor that day and i was dialated to a 4 plus. So my doctor told me to go walk the mall and then go to the hospital after that and she will let them admit me. So off to the mall we went and ate lunch and walked into the hospital. We waited for what seemed like eternity to get us a room, but finally we did @ almost 5. They got me all hooked up and ivy in and pitocine started, and then i started to feel the contractions i felt like i was going to die, i dont know why anyone would want to feel that pain. After i got that i was much better, i couldnt feel a thing (with colton i felt it when he came out). Right after the epidural was done and couldnt feel anything the nurse checked me and i was @ a 5. Then 20 min later my doctor came in and checked me and i was a 9. Wow that was fast (was i really ready for this) i was a little nervous but i had to be ready cause she was coming. At that point i called andrews mom and told her i was a 9 and she said we are coming and hung up on me. Luckil they dont live to far. My doctor said are you ready she is right there and my mother in law wasnt there so we waited a few minutes for her to come into the room. I told her if i was in pain i wouldnt have waited. So i started to push and was half way through and she said stop cause her head was out and needed to suction her mouth and nose. After that i did another half push and out she came.
When colton met her for the first time he tried pushing her away and whined a little he wanted nothing to do with her at all. he seemed like he was mad that we left him for so long or it was a different place for him to be in. But now he is so cute with her when he sees her he gives her a big kiss and cant keep his hands off of her, sometimes he is a little ruff but he is getting better. We are so blessed to have this miracle come into our home. She is so cute and sweet and lucky that she came to our family.

Before and After!

This was my first time refinishing furniture. I was wondering how i was going to do it knowing i had no idea what i was doing. But a little help from andrew on how to work the sander i was able to do it. I would sand a side of the dresser and ask andrew if it was good enough. He would help me if it needed more sanding. The sander was so loud i wanted to cry and i am sure baby girl did too. I am not one who starts projects and actually finishes them. So i was determined to do this all on my own and have it ready for our baby girl. I was very proud of myself and andrew was shocked that i finished it and it turned out good, he told me that he was proud of me, that always make anyone feel good. Colton had to jump in any moment that he could. He tried to help daddy take off all the hardware on the dresser and would carry around the screw drivers and give them to andrew. He would climb into the dresser and just sit there with a hug smile on his face. I love my little crazy man so much. Anyways i am proud that it is completed but probably will never do it again it was a lot of work, but worth it. Here are a few pictures of the process.
