Family Picture

We got our first family picture taken. We are all smiling, how wonderful! Thanks to our dear friend Marianne Pophal!

Holiday Affair

John and I attended a Charity Event "The Holiday Affair" for 2009. We raised $5000 for Second Harvest. It is nice to get all dressed up to go to a worthy cause!

Acting 101

Lights, Camera, Action! We all decided to show up our acting talent. No wonder all the stars get paid so much. It is much harder than you think! We had a blast.

Ate too much for Thanksgiving

Mya loves her Papa. She fell right asleep after the feast.

Bloomers make nice hats!

AH YEAH!

Mya after the B-day Cake. Full & Content with Cake in the Hair!

Mya's First Birthday Cake Video

It is short because I did not know how long she would just play with it.

Munchin on the Big B-Day Cake!

Mya turned One and she really dug into her cake. Here are some pics of her messy mess.

Dressing up in Costumes

We had so much fun dressing up in costumes for Halloween this year. I am a lady bug, John is a boxer with a black eye, (we nicknamed him the Sandman) Mya is Tinkerbell, Hollie is Raspberry Shortcake, and Jessie is a Gossamer Ghost!

Pumpkin Carving 2009

Hollie fed Mya a bit of Halloween candy (Reeses) and we had so much fun carving Pumpkins!

Soakin' in the Hot Tub with Papa!

We had such a great weekend going to my cousin Julie's Wedding. Uncle Eric let us stay at his Step-Mom Tami's Beautiful home!

Pippins Pickin' Pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun getting pictures taken at the Pumpkin Patch. Mya's all time favorite was the yellow pumpkin!

Halloween Outfits

Don't I look so festive in my cute Halloween Outfits? Don't mind the drool!

Auntie Jessie's B-day Party

Auntie Jessie has the cookie and Auntie Hollie has the burnt hotdog. Funny.

Sleeping on the Porch Swing

All the gentle rocking helped her fall asleep one fall afternoon.

Swimmin' with Auntie Hollie!

Last swim before it gets too cold!

Cutie Patootie

I love me some Mya!

Mya learning to walk

We are all having a blast watching little Mya learn to walk.
She is having a blast too, watch her wave to all her fans.

Oh look at those little blue piggies!

Music to the Ears

I was on the computer and heard a strange sound. When I went to investigate I saw that Mya had picked up Wyatt's food bowls and was playing a song. I caught just a tiny bit of the action before she got camera shy.

Miss Molly

I got to see my little Molly this past weekend. She is such a cutie! I can't believe how fast she is growing. I think she is about ready to catch up with Mya! Such a blessing, pretty girl.

Eric and Molly

Here is an cute picture of Eric, my brother-in-law and my ADORABLE niece MOLLY! Oh, isn't she precious!!!!!!! I love her so much!

Goofing Off!

Here is a pic we took with our web cam goofing off.
We love to hang out together!

Auntie Hollie

This picture was taken a little while ago but I still think it is adorable.

My Pretty Girl!

I might just be partial but don't you think that little Mya is beautiful?
She is sure to be vain when she gets older as I keep telling her this!
XOXOXO

Big Ol' Lip

Mya has recently been making funny faces. I am wondering where she learned that from?

Mya's first teeth

Can you see them? Two tiny little teeth. She has been a champ. She is sure to nibble and drool on everything she can touch! :)

Little Molly is here!

My sister Amy and her husband Eric, welcomed their first child into the world May first! Molly Jane Zwayer was born at 8:27 a.m., weighing in at 9 lbs. 11 oz. and 22 inches long. Beautiful sweet girl! Now Mya has a little cousin to grow up with. Because Molly had some Jaundice when she was born, she has had an extended hospital stay. Hopefully she will go home today! We love you Zwayer family!

Sun Bunny

Mya's first day at the pool. She is catching rays and getting tan...Just kidding.
She stayed in the shade the WHOLE time. Mamma's so protective!

My sister Amy

My sister Amy is due any day now. We are so excited for her. They have opted to keep the baby's gender a secret and so the suspense is intense. Little Mya is excited to be having a cousin soon. My parents are having their annual Kentucky Derby party the first weekend in May (this weekend). We hope Amy has had her baby by then. John is taking the car today to see if our good friend Brandon can fix the AC and we need to replace the tires. One is so thin you can see metal fibers sticking out of it. Keep Amy in your prayers!

Boon Dog Kisses

Boon has really taken a liking to little Miss Mya. He loves to sniff her and kiss her. She likes it too. Maybe it's the carrots she had for lunch.

Carrots

Mya is learning how to eat with a spoon. What a messy ordeal. It seems she would rather wear her food than eat it!

Bath Time!

Mya loves her baths. She is so small she fits in our kitchen sink. One day she will be so embarrassed over this picture!

My new Hat!

One of our good friends got us some of the cutest baby clothes yesterday. Among them was this hat with the ear flaps. I thought it was the cutest thing! Do you agree?

Changes of the Seasons

Our little Mya is growing up so fast. Last night she learned how to roll over for the first time and now she won't stop! She is such a joy! The weather here is changing so fast. Last weekend we took her to the beach for the first time! She loved taking in all the new sights and sounds.

Photo Shoot

Mya's first little photo shoot!
Isn't she a natural star!

Happy Baby!

Our little miss Mya is a bundle of Sunshine! We love her smiles!

Mya's Yellow Bow

I got this yellow bow the other day and put it in her hair.
I think she looks precious!

Mya Moves

I made a little video of Mya on our bed. If you listen close enough you can hear her poot and burp. SO FUNNY!

Webcam

I took Mya to work with me and wanted to take a picture of us on the webcam. HARD AT WORK!

New Years Update

Over the holidays, I have misplaced my camera! EEEEK I will post an older picture for you of our pride and joy. It was great to show off Mya. Today she got her two month shots and I cried too! She really is such a good baby. She does not cry more than five minutes in a day. (except today) I like to dress her in pinks and yellows. She is so beautiful. Another interesting fact about her name...in case you did not put it together is the meaning behind it. Mya means "Mine" and Rae means "Sun Rays" so together she is "MY SUNSHINE!" So cute. We had so much fun celebrating Christmas with the family. I liked the sermon this past Sunday. It reminded us about the true reason for Christmas. It sounds cliche but Christianity means nothing if we don't recognize and acknowlege Jesus and his existence. Our pastor also said that there are many "so-called Christians" but few "Christ followers." It was very interesting. Hope all is well. ~Kati
