A re-do

So between getting ready for church and getting ready for Myra's luncheon for her blessing I, unfortunately, missed a lot of picture opportunities. But fortunately I could redo these pictures of Myra in her dress. And I am so grateful I did too because let's face it, they are adorable-

 I wanted to get a close up of her bow/handband but couldn't cut off her adorable little face-

 Her bracelets-

 And her booties-

So adorable right? So glad I took them, even though it had been a week or two after her blessing.

Wishing you were here

For Myra's blessing Travis' parents were able to come out from Kansas! It was so good seeing them, seeing as we don't see them often. Cason loved having them here and they got to meet Myra!

As well as the newest cousin, Josie! Myra and Josie are just a month apart-

We had a picnic at the newest park in Saratoga. Everyone had a good time climbing the rope pyramid, we'll call it, including Trevor and Shawni-

Cason found this spot that fit his little bum perfectly. He climbed to it every time and camped out there-

We miss you already Oma and Papa! Don't stay away for too long-

A baby's joy is so contagious, isn't it?

You're smiling right now saying 'aw...', aren't you?

I knew it! :)

Cason needs his own camera!

Last week Travis blessed this little sweet pea- 

Trav said she stared at him the whole time! She looked adorable in her little dress that my Mom had made (of course).

We had family come from Kansas and Arizona and friends to be here for the blessing. We felt so loved! It was a wonderful day of family, love, and the spirit. We sure do feel blessed!

Four generations here-My Grandma, my Mom, me, and Myra- 

Cason and I were playing in his room one day having lots of fun until he ran out to do who knows what. I waited patiently for him to come back....three minutes later he came back in with my camera up to his eyes saying 'cheeeese'. I looked at him and gave him a big cheeser and he just laughed. So I decided to show him how to take pictures-

Was this a mistake? Quite possibly. But it sure did give us a fun bonding moment. I got a lot of good laughs out of him by playing peek-a-boo-

 Making funny faces- 

 And just by being plain goofy (this one got the best and loudest laugh out of him)-

 For now though it's a fun memory and he got a lot of shots of me, which doesn't usually happen-

 He did manage to hand over the camera so I get a couple of both of us-

 Love you goofy boy-

 Later that day he fell asleep at the kitchen table, in the middle of lunch, an hour before his usual nap time-

It's a new post!

Hooray, right? A new post! Although I'm thinking it's going to take me longer considering blogger has changed since my last post. Gr. I know they change things to keep things updated and moving forward but man does it drive me crazy to learn how to work everything again. Anyway, moving on!
   Things here are good, busy, a bit crazy. But things are good. Cason is still in love with Myra (thank heavens). He always wants to be right next to her- 

They're always hanging out together. Whether it's on the table eating or on the couch watching tv, he always wants to be right with her. It's sweet really. If she's ever crying he runs to her and asks 'what's wrong?' And then he'll say, 'it's okay'. Then he'll start patting her and saying 'shhhh'. It's adorable. He's definitely taking on the big brother protector role. And I am loving it!

He's already gotten her to smile! All he was doing was looking at her smiling and she was smiling away at him. I got lucky enough to have time to grab the camera and grab a couple of shots. I love that Myra seems to love Cason as much as he loves her.

Miss Myra sure is getting big. She'll be at two months at the end of the week! I'm not sure what she's weighing these days, 9.5lbs maybe? We'll see at her next appointment. Her belly is starting to stick out nicely though and her cheeks are filling in-

Her hair has thinned out and a bald spot is starting to appear. But everything on top seems to just be getting longer! She has slept through the night twice already, both nights were wonderful. She's eating like a champ! And starting to babble a bit. We are absolutely in love with her!

Next post: Myra's blessing and pictures from Cason! Get excited, he got some good ones :)

Next Round

I realize this post really should have been done last week but really isn't that just the story of my life? It would be too weird if I actually posted things the week that they actually happened, right?

So last week Myra had her 2-week appointment and she is now weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. and grew almost a full inch and a half! She's an excellent eater and you can already tell that her cheeks are starting to plump up quite nicely :) (we're hoping for another chubby baby). The sleeping is a work in progress, it's great one day and awful the next. Every time I put her down I hold my breath it'll be a good one.Cason and I have been trying to come up with things to do while she's napping so that the tv isn't on all day long but man it's getting hard. We are really looking forward to summer and getting outside more (as i'm sure you can tell by this lovely pic)-Last weekend...or the weekend before that...either way we had an Easter party with my mom's family so I took Cason since we're not ready to take Myra out just yet. He had a blast finding eggs, that's pretty much all he wanted was the plastic eggs. I never counted but he found a lot! He loved opening them all and see what would come out. I think his favorite surprise was the 4 quarters from my Grandparents (I think). When they flew out everywhere he yelled out "MONIES!" (if that's even a spelling for that pronounciation). It was pretty adorable-Thankfully candy was not all he got. He has been playing with this motorcycle (thank you Rebecca) and truck (thank you whomever gave out the trucks) all week long (or is it two weeks now...)-Cason has been pretty good with Myra so far. He loves to come in with me and wake her up. Loves to hold (some times squeeze) her hand, rub her belly, and help me burp her by patting her back (and he actually just pats amazingly enough). Some days I can't believe how accepting he is of her. I'm hoping it stays that way, guess we'll see. I had to include this picture just cuz I thought it was so adorable-Travis had a birthday this past weekend, I cannot believe he's 30! He can't believe he's 30! It's so crazy we've been together 7 years and we're onto another decade that will be full of kids and our family. It's an amazing stage to be out but wow, 30, really? Easter at our house was very low-key. I did refill all of Cason's eggs (don't worry I did get new candy) and we hid them around our yard. He had a blast finding them all. We also included a new Mater two (his second one) and Cars 2 (which he unforutnately doesn't seem to care for)- Myra's dress ended up being a bit big her...as well as her tights...and her shoes. Infact the only thing that fit was the headband. She still looked adorable though-

And now we're onto another week!
