On Saturday, we went to Gilcreast Farms to

pick out a few pumpkins. Mia had a lot of

fun. Cute story: Mia is down to one nap

now, but today she went up to Rick and wanted

him to pick her up, when he did she pretended

to snore and close her eyes, he said, Are you sleepy?

and she started fake snoring again, he said, do you want to

take a nap, and she said, Okay!! so he put

her in the crib to take a nap. He said it melted his heart.

walking in the pumpkin patch.

stepping on weeds.

look mom, I found one! She kept saying

her pumpkin was the baby, mine was the mom, and

Rick's was the dad.

This is where we find Spock on a daily basis- above

my potatoes in the pantry :)

How do I say no to this face? you tell me,

because I have a REALLY hard time doing it.

By the way: 18 month checkup, Mia is again

off the charts for her height and the doc says

he will bet $$ that she will be 6ft. Please NO

I had a hard time finding a husband taller than

me and I am only 5 ft 8 in. Plus we all know

that tall guys go for the short girls, so

let's just hope Mia is NOT 6 ft tall :)

It was Rick's Bday on the 29th so I got fun
party favors. Mia loved them.

Okay so the bad thing about having a pantry
filled with storage... an 18 month old who
begs for brownie mix daily and brings it out for
you to make. I did do it Sunday so
we could listen to conference though.
I don't think Spock ever dreamed he
would live in a house where he gets
strolled around. Well he does.
He is Mia's personal slave/best friend.
Whichever one you think fits best.

So here it is, Spock in Mia's baby stroller. She

also says her famous, "OH NO!!" She is so

dramatic. I love it :)

So Mia is saying all the sounds for the animals

she knows and it is the cuttest thing ever.

Here she is saying what Spock (0ur kitty)

a pup, cow, bird, monkey, and my favorite pig.

She totally snorts her nose up ANYTIME she

sees a pig. She has quite the little personality.

In case you didn't hear it all the first time :)

Does this look familiar Nicole?

You can tell Scott and Mia are cousins

by the cheese grin!!

Just a cute pic before church.

Mia playing peek a boo!!
Where'd she go?

This cat looks pretty miserable huh?

Not sure he likes his new home...

Labor day we went to Bonnie Springs

(Old Nevada) to a zoo so Mia could

see some animals. It's not the best

place, but pretty much the only

place to see live animals in Vegas-

how sad!! Anyway, Rick got Mia

these pink hiking boots before she

was born and was super excited for her

to finally wear them (size 5)

And she is sporting her pink camo hat.

Aren't kittens fun? Spock loves getting in Mia's
crib and attacking little baby toes and fingers.
Mia likes it though, she was giggling..

You may be wondering what is on her head? It's

her bear and the minute she gets in her crib, she

sticks that bear on her head and that's where it stays.

It is too funny!! Her head is always so sweaty when

she gets up. Cute little bug!!

Here is our new kitty. Look how big

his ears are!! My dad thought of the

name Spock. I hate Star Trek

but I came home from work and

Mia was already calling him Spock

I like Suki or Smudge or Elfin myself

but now she thinks that's his name.

Anyway, I went to pick him up and Mia

was squealing and dancing all the way home.

She has a LOVE for kitties and pups like I

have never seen, so yes she is a happy little girl!!

He just curled right up to her, so cute.

Rick can't believe how easy kittens are.

We showed him the litter box and his food

and that's it. He's used to puppies- I couldn't

deal with all the mess of that in a brand new house.

She loves how he likes to swat at her.
Note how big the ears are!!

Rick got him a collar but it is way too big. He

looks big in the pics but he is soooo tiny!!
Mia tries to sleep in his bed with him- by the way,
he does not like to sleep in his own bed- he has
to sleep with us or he cries. I told Rick it's only
til he's bigger (I hope)
She just loves him.

He can't understand why she is so loud though :)

here she is trying to get in his bed AGAIN.

Do I have a preschooler or what?

She's not my baby anymore.
And look at those long legs.... watch out boys.

Mia taking a bath in the laundry room sink.
It's the best! Here are pictures, the only one
I didn't get is the casita pics... and the front
of the greatroom with the fireplace.

Mia in her bedroom loving her stuff!

Look how little she looks- she loves having a room

for the first time in her life. She runs to her room

and just reads to herself. It's the cuttest dang thing!

Here's our future new kitty coming in a few weeks.

blue point siamese, Mia is going to LOVE him!!
