Cy says the funniest things sometimes and I mean to write them down but never get around to it and now I have figured out how to text blog!! That's perfect since I always have my phone! I am going to start texting the funny things he says to our blog so that we always have it!

We are getting ready to take a nap and this is part of our conversation..

CY: mommy, you wanna take your shirt off?

ME: no, I'm ok!

CY: I think you will be more comferble!

I tell him this sometimes before a nap when he has a nice shirt on over a T-shirt! Haha..

MYA LONI AND ANDELYN's BIRTHDAY PARTIES!!

I am so behind on blogging about Mya's 1st birthday party (It was back in May), and we just had Andelyn's birthday party, so I figured I would combine them!! These 2 girls are so precious!!

Mya is the LIGHT of all our lives! Her smile is so contagious, and she is just the sweetest little girl ever! Thanks for being a part of our lives Mya!! We love you SO MUCH!!

Mya and Mommy..

We hardly ever get to see our Princess Andelyn, because she stays in LA with her mom most of the time, but we got to have her for her birthday this week and it was a TREAT!! This girls is hilarious!! She is such a sweetheart, and we all love her so much!!


The newest generation of grandkids.. Cy, Austin, Andelyn and Mya..

Have to give a shout out to MARKY!! It was his birthday on the day we had Andelyn's party!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARKY!!

Cy was giving Andelyn a birthday hug..


I had to post this video.. haha.. Cy got a "time-out" at the party for pushing one of his cousins. Lachelle thinks it's so funny when he gets time outs, because he just sits there! haha.. She decided to film him and ask what he is doing. If you can see towards the end he does this "eye rolling" thing he picked up lately.. It's funny.. SOMETIMES! haha..

WICKED!!

This past weekend my BFF Celeste and I took a "NEED A QUICK BREAK BEFORE BABY NO. 2" Girls trip to see "Wicked" in San Diego!! We were going to go to NYC to see it, but my Doc wasn't too keen on that idea!! I figured an hour flight would be ok, and I wasn't planning to go into labor 5 weeks early!! (as if we PLAN when we go into labor)... It was awesome!! We stayed at my cousin Sheryl's house.. Thanks Sheryl!! ;) It was QUICK and LAST MINUTE.. Just how we like our trips.. We flew in Friday night.. SLEPT IN Sat.. WooHoo!!.. Lounged by the pool on Saturday, got ready, went downtown for dinner and then saw the show. Flew home Sunday. Short and Sweet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing "Wicked" (if you haven't already). It is BY FAR my favorite Broadway show.. I give it 5 STARS and 2 THUMBS UP!!

Sheryl has such a nice backyard.. Pool, MEGA swingset (Cy is coming next time for sure), and barbecue..
It was nice to actually RELAX by a pool and not get stressed about keeping an eye on Cy..
We ate at some restaurant downtown, but I can't remember the name.. Yard something??
This was me trying to be sneaky with taking a pic of us in our seats.. Camera's weren't allowed in the theater! oops.. Hope they didn't see the flash!!
Need I say more??

"THS THE BEST, UH!!"

I had the opportunity to attend my 10 year High School Reunion this past Saturday!! I feel VERY OLD!! haha.. I still can't believe it's been 10 YEARS since I graduated High School!! TIME FLIES when you're having fun! ;) It was put together well.. We had FOOD, great entertainment, and most of all GREAT company!! I was surprisingly the ONLY one that looked 8 months pregnant! haha.. Maybe 2 other people were pregnant, but not showing yet.. HELLO PEOPLE, this IS Utah County?? Get on it!! LOL.. I was also rollin solo because Collin had to work!! Good thing I had my BFF's there to keep me company! haha..

Loni, Celestia & Tasha..
Celeste & Sii.. High School Sweethearts!! (Celeste is a Timpanogos Alum and Sii went to Hunter High)...
Another pair of High School Sweethearts.. They have been together for like 12 years!! CRAZY!! Jon (my brother) and Tasha.. Tasha graduated my year..

Skylar was my Elementary school BFF and it was really good to see her!! She volunteered for the "audience participation" - look at her shakin her hips!!
Some of my girlfriends from High School... From left to right..
Lychelle (Loveland), Jeanine (Owens) Anderson, Carola Blackham, Loni (Tuaileva) Hayward, Celeste (Roberts) Fiefia, Stacey (Gonzales), Tasha (Keetch) Tuaileva, Skylar (Mills) Peterson, Sharla Pecorelli, Mary (Rife) Hammer and Lindsay (Nelson) Peterson...

Is it just me, or is EVERYONE so SKINNY when you are 8 months pregnant?? haha.. EVERYONE I saw from HS looks AMAZING and I was so jealous!! hehe.. I will have to step it up after this baby. LOVE YOU GIRLS! It was so good to see you all!!

HELP!!! POTTY TRAINING 101

So we are officially starting the potty training attempt today.. I am open to any suggestions, tips, advice, etc!! I am ALL EARS!! Really, I know nothing and I have read nothing, so anything will help!!

SUMMERTIME!!

Our summer officially started the last week in July!! Cy was given the green light to get out of the house and be a little boy again, so we have taken full advantage of that!! Cy LOVES to swim!! The Lindon pool has been one of the best places we've been so far this year! Cy is doing SO MUCH BETTER and we are SO HAPPY to see his progress!! It has been such a blessing to have Cy in our lives and the experience that we recently had has made us stronger spiritually AND as a family. Thanks again for everyone's prayers! I KNOW they had a part in Cy getting better! :)

Do you think Cy is ready to be potty trained?? haha.. He plays with the sprinkler on the tramp and he sits in this pot and tells me "Mommy, I go potty" and then he says "Done" and stands back up.. haha..
Collin has a friend he works with whose wife made this Blues Clues cake for Cy!! He was SO EXCITED about it!!! He LOVES Blues Clues and he felt special that it was his very own cake.. I think he asked for a piece twice a day until it was gone!!
I love this pic!! His smile just melts my heart!! It makes me so happy to see him feeling so much better!!
Cy has been OBSESSED with "doing dishes" lately!! Everday he slides his little stool over to the sink and says "I do dishes" and decides to "do the dishes", when in reality he is making a BIG MESS!! It's ok, it's good practice!
LINDON POOL!! We went the first time with Celeste and the kids, Tasha and Jon and the kids and my sisters.. This is Afu and Mele (Sii and Celeste's kids). They are SO CUTE and SO good with Cy!! (And so photogenic).
Cy had fun swimming with his Uncle Jon!! He liked to get on his back while Jon swam around the pool.. Uncle Jon is so good to Cy!
This girl is SO FUNNY!! She found this random noodle and was hitting people with it! haha.. This is Mya Loni.. LOVE HER!!
Aunty Chelle and Cy.. Enough said. She is such a good aunty!!
Getting ready for the slide!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Cy was beat after a few hours of swimming, so he decided to take a little nap.. Which was nice for me so I could lay out and get some sun for an hour!! WooHoo!!
