The Bartletts: November 2009

Just thought I would share a couple of new pictures of my favorite little people. They are just too cute! I am so thankful that I get to be their Mom-Mom(that's what Mya calls me.) My heart is so full of love for them it sometimes feels like it just might burst. Ever since Mya was a baby I would always tell her she was "my best girl." And when she was old enough to talk I would ask her if she was "my best girl" and she would always say "yes I am!" Now she will come up to me and give me a big hug and say "Mom-Mom, I'm your best girl EVER!" And she is!! And now I have my "best boy EVER" too! I'm such a lucky Mom-Mom!

Isn't he just so HANDSOME! I love that I get to smother his sweet face with kisses every single day!

LOVE this one! He looks so grown up and studious!! Such a little man. :)

I was lovin' Mya's hair today! She looked so cute and sweet. Love the 2 mini side buns ala Princess Leia. We even got lots of "extra" comments while out shopping at Costco.

This is my "sweet" Mya!

And this is Mya with a little SASS!!

See, I told you I was a lucky Mom-mom!!

So much has been going on lately and I'm sooooooo far behind on blogging about all of it. So, I will do my best to do an update - a very LONG update!

Pumpkin Patch

Mya really got into the Halloween spirit this year and loved every minute of the month of October - from decorating the house, going to a pumpkin patch, playing dress up in her new costume, and of course trick-or-treating.

We tried to go to the local farm where they grow pumpkins this year but just like last year there were slim pickins' by the time we got there so we headed on down to the pumpkin patch ala a parking lot with bails of hay and lots and lots of pumpkins.

Mya found 2 really cute and tiny pumpkins. She liked the tiniest ones the best!

Tummy time, Smiling & Cooing

Liam has been loving tummy time lately. He is a very strong boy and holds his head up like a champ and LOVES to stand up too. He is also smiling a lot and cooing and talking up a storm. I just can't get enough of this little guy! He is so much fun!

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year! Mya dressed up as Snow White and made a very beautiful princess. She LOVES this costume and wears it daily! My Mom and Dad came for Liam's blessing and just happened to be here for all the fun Halloween festivities. Mya thought trick-or-treating was pretty neat and came home with lots of candy!

Liam Alexander Bartlett's Blessing Day

On November 1st (his 2 month birthday) Liam received a name and a blessing. Brandon gave Liam a very sweet and beautiful blessing. I am so thankful for the Priesthood and I feel so blessed to have it in our home. And we are so thankful for our families and want to thank my Mom and Dad, Brandon's Mom, his sister Tiffany her husband Ben and their kids for coming to share this special day with us.

Mya's 3 year Birthday Party

Since we had family in town we decided to also celebrate Mya's 3rd birthday! I still can't believe my baby girl is 3 years old. (**sniff**sniff**) She had so much fun with Nana & Papa Fox, Grandma Bartlett, Aunt Tiff and Uncle Ben and her cousins. Brandon smoked a pork shoulder and a brisket and it was sooooo yummy!

Getting everything ready!

Mya and her cousin Landon. They were having a blast playing in the rocks. They are 2 months apart in age and have a loving/not-so-loving relationship! One minute they are hugging and being so sweet the next they are fighting! But it's so cute! It will be fun to watch these 2 grow up together!

Makenna, Chandler and Cole enjoying the yummy food!

Mya patiently waits to open her presents!

Totally ecstatic about getting the new Tinkerbell movie! I love her expression in this picture!

Waiting to blow out the candles on her birthday cake. I made a giant cupcake this year. It turned out pretty cute and it tasted so good!

So happy!

Blowing out the candles!

On Mya's actual birthday she wanted to go to the Disney Store and to Hot Dog on a Stick! What more could a 3 year old want? :)
