My dumb self picked this frog up by my parents' house

because I thought it would be cute to kiss a frog

like the fairy tale, you know? Anyway, I ended

up with rashes on both arms the next day, so I thought

he was poisonous and I was dying. We now think he

may have stepped on poisonous oak or something and

his foot touched my arm.. Probably won't do that again.

He's cute though!!

Mia concentrating on her fishing pole.

Still concentrating.

Look at that face!

Mia and dad...

Mia and grandpa with a fish. Look at her face!!
We all got in a canoe- not a good idea!! It was
very wobbly.

Fun on the canoe.

Walking around.

Mia and dad.

Just a cute pic of Mia.
Parade in Buhl, Idaho on 4th of July.

Mia in dad's glasses checkin out the

horses in the parade..

After the parade, everyone walks to

the park where they have fun stuff

set out.

Of course Mia found some puppies.

Dad got some little fireworks and did a show

for us in front of my parents' house in Idaho.
Look at that cute grin! She loved them!.

We set her on the back of the truck to get a

better view.

Almost a perfect picture. Anyone seen Mia?

Dad and Mia by the Shoshone Falls in Twin.

If you want your kids to eat dinner, just put some

music on! Mia and Hailey were dancing away and

eating for 45 minutes! They are even on the right

beat...

The summer has started. My sis Nicole is here

with Scott and Hailey for 2 weeks, my sis

Bre from San Diego just got here with the 2 dogs

and my other sis Brooke is coming this Friday for the

weekend. Mia came flying out of the house to see

the dogs running full speed and...... you guessed it,

hit the cement on her knees, but she still managed to smile

in this picture .... until Rocky knocked her over. She LOVES

animals, but almost too much because she just follows

them around smacking her lips to give them a kiss.

These next few days should be interesting..

Mom and Mia.
She's saying Please Give Me a Kiss!!

So cute!

So we've been trying to get this on camera for

awhile. This is her face when she sees something

very exciting. Like my sister Nicole says, she

is such a talker but it's like she has to express

every feeling/moment she has. Maybe she will

be a writer later on. When she eats, she says MMMMM,

when she sees a bug she shivers and says eeeeeewwwhhh and

shakes her head, she's a funny one.

Discovering new things.

Helping water plants.

Last summer we took the same picture. We

can't believe how big these girlies are!

Hailey and Mia in the pool.
Covered in sunscreen.

Hanging outside.

Hanging with Grandpa.

This shows you how much taller Mia is than

Hailey and Hailey is 3 1/2 month older. It's a crack up!

Mia has my love for chocolate! This is

her first icecream bar- oreo. We've tried

to give her fruit ones or any other flavor

and she only loves chocolate. Too much

while I was pregnant with her I guess :)

Friday night we went to Red Robin and then came home

with our icecream and played in the sandbox. One more

week and I get to play with Mia all summer because

school will be out. I can't wait !!

This is what I found when I heard

that sneaky silence for awhile. Funny,

her dad has the exact picture when he

was little.

She finally after awhile came out of

her little cave...
There she is cute little thing!

She is REALLY into this potty stool. Maybe

she is ready for the potty :)

Mia got to help grandma with her flowers. Hopefully

one day we can have our own little garden to grow

in our new house :)

FYI - Mia isn't wearing a half top. It just keeps

going above her little budda belly.
She really did enjoy this.

Here is Mia using sidewalk chalk in our new

house. It's the only way to keep her busy while

we are walking around. You should have seen her

little bottom when she stood up!!

Here's the latest pic of the house.
