Anniversary Party

Last weekend we celebrated Grandma and Grandpa Telisak's 40th wedding anniversary!  It was a big ol' bash and a lot of people came around!  Unfortunately, Greg tried to take off but couldn't get the day off.  I felt bad for him because I knew he wanted to be there.

Anywhoo, Mya had a good time running around and playing with her cousins.  She is especially fond of Aidan.  Mya thinks he is so silly!  She runs around all crazy like, ignores me and gets scraped knees.  There was no nap that day...you could definitely tell later on!  :)

Instead of taking the hose away from Aidan, I decided to just take a picture of him.  That's what good aunts do.

There was a ton of food to eat and a lot of good company to enjoy!!

Happy anniversary, Steve and Pat!

Is It Cabin Time Yet?

Last weekend we went up to Axehandle Lake to spend some time with Lisa, Blane and Cassie.  The weather was a bit chilly, but it didn't stop us from having fun.  The water was cold...no worries, we didn't go swimming!  Ha!

God bless the trampoline!  That might be the best babysitter ever!  Mya bounced, jumped, ran and flopped all over that thing!  I would get sick with that much jumping, but Mya had the best time!  The static in her hair just cracks me up!

We also brought out the fishing pole.  Mya was very excited to go fishing!  She was not excited when Cassie actually caught a fish...she wanted to be no where near it!

We are very ready for summer to arrive, school to end and lots of good times to come!

Kalahari Trip

Last week I had a DPI Teacher Effectiveness Training in the Dells.  When I was asked to go, I figured it was going to be something through CESA and it was going to be local.  Little did I know that it was going to take place in the Dells!  Greg took time off of work and we pulled Mya out of daycare for a couple days and we headed down!

A car ride with a little person is always entertaining.  Thank goodness for iPhones!  Mya listened to Pandora and took selfies.

We went down on Wednesday night after I was done with work.  When we got there, it was about 8:00, so we went down to the waterpark to check it out.  We've not been to the Kalahari before, only The Great Wolf Lodge.  Mya was super duper excited!

The next morning, as I got ready for work, Mya got ready for the waterpark.  She was beyond thrilled!  So while I had to do work stuff, Greg and Mya spent the day swimming and going down slides. 

That night, for my birthday, we went to Cracker Barrel to eat.  Yum, yum, yum!!  

After dinner we went down to the waterpark for a couple more hours.  Man, this girl is fearless.  The wilder the slide, the better!  We went on some where all 3 of us could go, too.  The sound of her giggles was the best sound ever!  She was so excited and I was so excited for her!

Greg and Mya spent the morning at the waterpark on Friday and then later that afternoon we packed up and headed for home.  Waterparks most definitely wear out little girls!  She slept for most of the ride home!  We had such a great time!  I wish I could have spent more time with Greg and Mya at the park, but duty called!

Weekend Projects

A couple weekends ago we got to work on some projects around the house.  Up first was  getting the birds some food.  We filled up the bird feeders and then we made our own homemade bird feeders with pine cones, peanut butter and bird seed.  Mya was a great little helper.  We'll have to make some other bird feeders for the yard because I suspect some sneaky squirrels ran off with our finished product!

The final project was a BIGGIE!  Mya has been officially moved into her big girl bed!  Yes, she is 3, but she has not wanted anything to do with a big girl bed.  Finally, she was interested and we made the quick switch!  She loves having so much space to sleep in and I'm pretty sure she brings every doll and stuffed animal into her bed!  She sleeps right through the night, so the transition was amazing!

Lucky

I'm not going to lie.  The last week or so has been really hard on me.  Last week was supposed to be my due date.  It's been hard not to think about, especially because it is what we wanted so badly.

However sad I am, Mya always cheers me up.  It is impossible to be sad around her.  She gives the best hugs, kisses and wants to make sure that I am happy.  My Mya brings me great joy.

I am so lucky to be the mom to this little lady.

Our Baker Buddy

Mya has been into baking the last few weeks.  Cupcakes are her favorite.  We made some tonight.  She's my little helper.  She put in the ingredients (even took a whack at cracking the egg) and helped with mixing.

But the best part?  Eating the finished product!!

Cassie's Prom Pictures (and Kind of Mya's Too)

Last weekend was Prom for Cassie.  We went up to take pictures of her...but, as it usually goes, Mya wanted in.  Mya made sure that she had on her prettiest dress for the occasion.  Along with her Crocs.

Cassie looked gorgeous and she was very kind to let the little 3 year old in a lot of the pictures!  Don't worry, there are plenty of just Cassie and her date...but Mya did manage to photobomb some of those too.
