Beautiful Mina and our Adventures

My life is just exploding with joy. I mean this in the most serious way possible. I am amazed with everyday that passes how in love I am with my baby Mina Moo, My husband, and Little baby Evan (yay it's a boy...in case you didn't catch that). Here are some of our adventures. This pregnancy, like the last has been super eventful. 

Sometimes, Mina enjoys sleeping in her carseat. If it is in the house she goes and sits in it. If we are in the car she screams bloody murder to get out of it. Riddle me that one batman. 

I was in the hospital for a few days due to a lovely infection in my arm. More on that story another day when I am ready to get all worked up. Long story short, nurses wouldn't take the IV out, i had an abcess and blood clots. It was miserable. I couldn't use my arm for over a week. 



This picture is hilarious. It is a bad pic but Mina loves people to touch her lips. She was half asleep while my brother Ben was doing this to her. 

Sometimes your siblings throw Gangam Style parties. They make cool signs and hang them all around the house. 

Mina is obsessed with dogs. Really any animal in general. The first word every morning out of her mouth is Doggy!!

This is called Jessa chose the superbowl winner and Maria did not. SCORE

This is my cousin Charlie. We couldn't resist. 

Oh yes. I was hospitalized again. For 3 days. Why? because I couldn't keep any food down and my Doc was getting kinda scared. Although I enjoyed the 40 lb weight loss, i really missed food. 


Mina is slightly obsessed with hats. She doesn't wear them for very long but she likes putting them on and taking them off. 


Isn't she perfect?






I made this quilt for VDay for Wesley. It is all of his old tshirts. Not bad for a first timer eh?

Mina walked around with these foam hearts around her neck. She thought it was a necklace

Beautiful Josie. Getting so big. 


My dad ran a half marathon and got a sunburn from his sweatband. 



Mina learned to take all of her clothes off. More then once I have found a naked baby in the crib. 

Mina eats anything you will give her. Her favorite foods: Pineapple, pickles, avocado, beans, and cheese

Mina always plays with Wes. She loves zippers and buttons. Since he generally has a hoody on, this provides entertainment. 


Mina is rarely seen without this blankie. She loves it muchly. If anyone touches it she freaks. Luckily we have 4 of the same blanket so we can switch them out and wash them frequently. 

Mina went to her first USU basket ball game. Never have I seen her that quiet. EVER. She was stunned by all the noise. 

Mina is a Diva. She loves necklaces, shoes, and hairbrushes. 

Mina got super sick. She was sick for about a week or so. She was always so sad, she just wanted to be held. 



I made some yummy cupcakes for Aly's Bridal shower. No flour,just Garbanzo beans. 

Wes and I got to go to Vegas for his frisbee trouney. Thanks MOM and DAD for babysitting!!



I got to see my friend Amanda while in Vegas. She is my favorite. 




We drove to Wyoming for Alyson's wedding. So happy to see my bestie get married. Post on that to come. 

While at the wedding I got to hang with Josie and her fam. 


These pictures are evidence of my first BIG mommy mess. First Mina grabbed the baking soda and spilled it all over the floor while i was using the restroom. Then when I was cleaning that up, Mina grabbed the dog food and spilled it all over the floor as well. 2 messes in 5 minutes. At least at the end she wanted to help clean up. 


Mina is definitely an explosive child. She will be super happy one minute then lose it the next. She goes nuts. We have really had to be dilligent about putting her down and walking away when she is throwing a tantrum. 

Mina is so in love with reading books. She will sit on our laps for a long time as long as there is a book present. It is the only time she is the least bit cuddly.

We went to see Travis perform in a break dance competition at USU. It was a lot of fun. We always enjoy competitions. 

We have been really trying hard to make things totally from scratch. We also have been trying to attempt a bigger variety of recipes rather than just our favorites. This was a delicious Clam Chowder. Complete with fresh clams. 

Mina has some wild hair. She has hardly any, but it often times looks very Anne Burrell-esque


Mina loves her daddy. She loves to spend time with him.

Mina in her super cute easter dress from Nana.

Mina is enthralled with nature. Animals, water, and sunshine make her very happy.

One of my favorite things is Mina's chubby little feet. She loves when we do "this little piggy"

Nanny came up to visit Logan. Mina went swimming in the hotel pool. She was sad we took her out, so she swam in the bathtub after.

We took Mina to baby animal days. I love this event. She loved petting all the animals. 



Mina found out how to scratch daddy's back.


We went to see Dad in an ultimate frisbee tourney in Ogden. it was cold and windy but Mina loved every second of it. 






Mina has definitely hit the get naked phase. it drives me nuts...but at least she tries to stay somewhat modest.
