Scary, yet hilarious

We have found that Myah thinks it's funny when we try to scare her! We don't do anything really scary...we just jump in front of her suddenly and she thinks it's hilarious.

Nellis Airshow!

Over the weekend Justin and I drove to Nevada to see the Nellis Airshow! We left our sweet Myah with Justin's parents (and she had a great time, I'm sure!) We stayed in a hotel called "Nellis Suites" that was simply amazing and very inexpensive...our room far exceeded our expectations! Our room had a nice living room, a full kitchen, table and chairs, and a separate bedroom with bathroom and little walk-in closet!

 

This last picture is what we saw when we walked out our door! It was so beautiful and we felt right at home. Actually, we kind of wanted to move in for good!

Here we are on the shuttle bus about to head over to Nellis AFB for the airshow! We were very excited! I don't think I've ever seen Justin more excited than that morning. He said the excitement and anticipation was way more intense than Christmas morning as a child for him!

We walked around the first 2 hours before the show started so we could see all the planes and jets. There were tons of booths to get free stuff. The Navy had a pull-up bar out and were trying to get people to come do some for prizes. Justin did 10 here and got a water bottle. He did 8 more later and got a shirt. I was so proud!

Us at our amazing spot for the airshow in front of the Thunderbirds. We were on the front row right next to where the Thunderbird pilots and crew walked out. We could have reached out and given them hugs if we wanted to! I'm surprised Justin didn't!

Here's a shot of the Thunderbirds during their part of the show. Awesome!

We had to go to the Vegas strip for a bit since Justin had never been there before. Luckily Justin is like me and we're not big fans of huge crowds and booming cities so we mostly just did a driving tour (provided by me) and then went back to our awesome, quiet hotel. We did visit the inside of the Ballagio and also the fountain shows outside.

We had a great weekend but were so excited to come back and get our cute Myah. Well...while on the road Sunday, our car pretty much broke down. Since it was Sunday (and in Utah), hardly any auto shops were open. A mechanic at the Cedar City Walmart showed us to a shop he thought was open. Unfortunately they weren't but a shop next door was! We were excited that we might still make it home that night! As he looked at the car he said he'd have to wait until Monday morning to have a better mechanic fix it. Aaaahhhh!!!! To make a long story short, we stayed at a cheap motel next door, Myah stayed another night with Justin's parents, I had an emotional break-down not being able to get to Myah and Justin comforted me, and then the next morning our car was fixed (though they took longer than anticipated) and we were on the road at noon! We arrived at 4 pm and both of our parents were there to greet us and present our beautiful little girl back to us! We are sooooo glad to be back and to have Myah with us!

What made my day!

For some reason Myah thought it was hilarious when I'd look away and then look back at her. She has never laughed this hard for so long before! So glad she kept it up after we grabbed the camera!

Halloween costumes

If any of you have seen the show Psych (I believe the episode is called "Camp Tiki-hana"), then you might know what Justin was for Halloween. If not then you'll have no idea what he is! He was the murderer and I was a victim he strangled. Justin kept wanting to put murder'ish paint on Myah, like he did to me, but I could not allow a cute baby to look dead! That's just sick! So she's her cute self in a Halloween onesie!

"What a cute family picture!" That's probably what you all are thinking!

Carving Pumpkins

We had a good time carving pumpkins this year! I saw a show with tips on drawing and then carving pumpkins. One tip was to use a draw-erase marker to draw the design on and then you can wipe it off if you mess up. We found that it didn't wipe off as easily as the show said it did, so if you looked closely, you could see marker on the pumpkins. (I guess that meant we messed up a lot!)

This is Justin's awesome Frankenstein pumpkin!

Here's my hungry pumpkin!

And of course, here's cute Myah!

Beus Park

Beus Park is a park in Ogden by where we used to live. It brings back fond memories for me and Justin of our beloved South Ogden. (We miss living there!) I had my last dentist appointment up there so we stopped by the park with Myah. It was a chilly day, but it was beautiful.

I strapped Myah on me and zipped her in my jacket and we were good to go!

Here's Myah peeking out!

There were a lot of ducks and geese at the pond. I loved this one in the middle, with one leg held up. It didn't look too comfortable to me!

I thought this was a beautiful stairway with the leaves covering them. Plus there's that good-lookin' man in the picture!

Growing so fast

Myah is about three and a half months old. She is just growing so fast and the time is flying by! Her new thing is arching her back. I think she'll be turning over soon because she's half way there. Yesterday I had her lying on her back on the couch next to me and she was just arching away! When it was nap time, I was getting her all swaddled tight when all the sudden she let out a big grunt, arched her back, and unwrapped the swaddle! It was pretty hilarious!

She can sit very well in her bumbo seat, but I think she gets bored in it. I put the tray on it with toys and she did ok for a little longer, but she still can't grab them too easily so she still got bored or her head got tired.

Here's Myah sporting her jacket. (Don't you love the little tassle on top!)
