Christmas

We had Christmas morning at our house with Grandma Debi, Grandpa Ken, Uncle Dustin, Aunt Danni and Cousin Landon. Malia really got into her presents this year, she had them all open in about 5 minutes. She got really nice gifts, including a play kitchen, a fold out couch, a doll house and a Elmo doll that sings the alphabet. After that we went to Grandma Vickies for dinner and more cool gifts.

New chair

Grandma Vickie got Malia her very own recliner chair for Christmas, she loves it. She got a lot of other cool toys for Christmas too!

Eating at Wendy's

Malia really got into her fast food over the weekend!

Garden of lights

Last weekend we took Malia to the "Garden of lights", it's a local botanical garden that does a huge Christmas light display. She was impressed and had a good time pointing out the hidden animals.

Band-aids are cool!

Malia fell last night and cut her chin open so Jason bandaged her up and then put a band-aid on his chin to show her that band-aids on your chin are cool!

Malia's second birthday party

Last weekend we had some friends and family over to celebrate Malia's second birthday. She got a lot of great gifts and is enjoying playing with, and wearing everything.

Two year pictures

Yesterday was Malia's second birthday, so Saturday we took her in for her two year pictures, they turned out really cute!

Malia used to fit in this seat...when she was about 5 months old.

...with a fan!

We finally got keys

It's taken about a month and a half of battles with the bank that owned our house and the escrow company, but we finally got keys to our new house last night! Now we get to work on moving...again!

Luca's 3rd birthday party

Yesterday Malia and I went to our friend Luca's 3rd birthday party at Gymboree. Malia pretty much stuck to the slide and the cool rocking horse they had there, but we had a really good time and met a lot of great new friends Malia's age. Thank you so much for having us!

Giddy-up

Trick or treat

Malia was a ballerina for Halloween, she didn't want her picture taken though so we don't have very many. But she did very well trick or treating, she got a whole bucket of candy and walked over a half mile.

Reading the paper

New sweatshirt

Apparently Jason and I are for sale.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Ok, so we haven't even had Halloween yet, but we went to the mall yesterday and found that stores are already getting ready for Christmas. Crazy!

Post-it note explosion

One here, one here, one here...EVERYWHERE

Our day at the corn maze

Yesterday we went to the corn maze at a local pumpkin patch. What a muddy disaster that was. Malia fell within the first 10 feet so had to walk the rest of the way like this:

It rained all day on Saturday so the whole maze pretty much looked like this: Somehow all three of us made it through, Malia crying the whole way. I fell about half way through so Malia and I had matching mud stains, luckily we don't have a pic of that.

There were some fun parts, like the cutouts that they had part way through the maze. And the teepee that they had at the end of the maze:We might have to wait a few more years before we try this again, or at least plan ahead and make sure that it hasn't been raining for about a week before we go so the maze has time to dry out.

Passed out

We went to look at our new house last night and then went to Lowes to look at appliances. I guess it was too much excitement for Malia because she fell asleep in the middle of the hall when we got home.

This couldn't have been comfortable:

This looks better:

Pretty pretty princess

My friend Felicia gave Malia a tutu and wand on Friday so she had to play with them as soon as she saw them. She's such a cute little princess!!

Welcome Baby Landon!!!

This morning at around 6:03am Uncle Dustin and Aunt Danni welcomed a baby boy, Landon Brody. He was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 21 inches long. We can't wait to go see him tonight.

Rocker look

Trying out her infant carseat

It's a little small.

Looking at houses

Malia is testing out other kids toys while we look at houses again. She had a lot of fun with this one.

Baby in a box

She's all ready to move.

Fixing the vacuum

While we were cleaning the house out to move the vacuum quit working. Malia helped Jason fix it, she's such a good helper.

Hair by Daddy

Malia brought Jason three hair bands so he used all three of them. Creative!

Wearing my sweatshirt

Malia likes to wear sweatshirts, even though it's still pretty warm, so on Thursday she put my sweatshirt on and then tripped over it when she tried walking.
