Back at it.....

Hello, well Mya and I survived our surgeries! My mom came up on Thursday to stay with me and Mya for the weekend since Jayson had to work all weekend. It was great having her up to help and just to hang out. On our way to get my wisdom teeth out Mya got sick and threw up all over the car. Soooo my mom brought her home and got her all cleaned up and left me at the oral surgeons office. So here I was about to get my teeth yanked and all I could think about was whats wrong with little Mya.....but then the laughing gas and anesthesia kicked in. I woke up and there was my mom and Mya, she was ok!! I on the other hand was a mess, haha. My mouth was numb, bloody and full of gauze, but I survived at least!!!! My mom took care of me Friday and Saturday and went home Sat night. I was feeling much better, but sadly Mya was not. The poor thing got sick AGAIN!!!! She was up all night coughing and on Sunday she woke up in even worse shape. She puked all day Sunday and Sunday night. She got so bad at one point we ran her in to the Cloquet hospital, but they sent her home and told us to see her normal doctor in the morning. So on Monday we went to the Dr. and sure enough she has yet again another ear infection( the reason for the tubes) an upper respiratory infection and a stomach virus. This poor girl can't catch a break. I stayed home with her on Monday and we slept most of the day. She is feeling a little better today so we brought her to school and I went back to work. So far so good!!!

So besides all the ickyness above, we are getting ready to move into a townhome (at least we think we are) and Mya and I have a baby shower this weekend in Flensburg, MN. My best friend is having her first baby, a boy, Mya's future husband of course!!! Mya has also leaned to stand up from sitting on her own.....she is soooo proud of herself. She has also learned how to climb on the couch and chair so she is all over the place. That first step is just around the corner! Oh and she has also mastered every parents favorite question, "whats that?" So everything she sees she asks us whats that.......oh well we love every minute of it! That's all for now, take care, lots of love!!!

PS-I posted a pic I took of Jayson and Mya that I just thought was really cute!!!! Adios!

A week of Surgeries!

Hello! Happy Monday! Once again the weekend just flew by, but it was a great weekend however! Friday was BEAUTIFUL outside, it was 75 degrees!!! Mya and I took advantage of the nice day and went for a walk at the park. Mya played on the swings and the slide for a little bit before getting hot and fussy. We headed home and took a long nap! Well Mya took a long nap anyways. Jayson had to work all weekend, but he made time for me and Mya as much as possible. We had lunch together on Friday after Mya's Dr. appointment where Mya surprised both of us. She had a Dora the Explorer sticker from the Doctors office with a picture of Backpack on it. I held it in front of her and asked who is that Mya....she responded with "Backpack." We were amazed she could say such a complex word for a little one...maybe its not so complex.....either way we were surprised!

Sunday was a nice quiet relaxing day!! We hung out at home and made homemade pizzas...YUM! I better get my food fix this week because on Friday my wisdom teeth come out....ALL 5 of them! I am a nervous wreck. Everyone keeps telling me horror stories!

Speaking of surgery, poor little Mya has surgery on Thursday. She is getting tubes in her ears to stop the ear infections she has been having! We hope this helps. Its a quick procedure so no worries.

Well that's about it for right now...take care!!!!

Easter and More...

Hello all! Well Easter came and went, but it was a great weekend. Jayson and I went to Little Falls and hing out with my family down there. Mya went to her first Easter Egg Hunt and met the Easter Bunny again......she was not a huge fan. It was a busy weekend visiting family, going to see Hannah Montana....(yes Jayson brought me...I know I am a dork, but it was a cute movie, even Jayson liked it. I'm sure Il'l get in trouble for saying that...hahaha!!! ) and of course all the driving. Mya and I also had lunch with my best friend Laura on Saturday. It was great to see her even only for an hour or so!!! Mya tries hard to say her name, it usually comes out "Wora."

This weekend also brought on a new dance for Mya, which we like to call the shuffle...its more like a twist! Very funny, I wll try to post it along with some pictures soon.

Last Friday Mya had 2 doctor appointments, one being her 15 month check up and the other being with the Ear Nose and Throat Dr. Her Dr. said she is a smart healthy baby. but the only problem is she has alot of fluid in her ears causing ear infections....so tubes is our only answer. She has been on SO MUCH medication, that her Doctors said it was time for tubes. I know its a simple surgery, but the thought of little Mya being put to sleep and laying on an operating table breaks our hearts....but its all for the best! They said she will be back in our arms in 15 minutes! So that will happen on April 23rd...just one day before my wisdom teeth come out...ICK!!!!

Today is Mya's Baptism Birthday so we are taking her out to dinner to celebrate. Its hard to believe its been a year already, time sure flies.

Have a great Easter Weekend

Hello, we just wanted to say Happy Easter to everyone. We will be out of town. We are going to my mom and dads in Little Falls on Friday and won't be back in Duluth until Sunday! Mya will be going to her first Easter Egg hunt, so that should be alot of fun!!! Take care and drive safe if you are driving anywhere!!!!

Here it goes....

Ok, so we have had some friends say we need to start "blogging" so here goes! Please be paitent as I (Amanda) figure this blog out....

So its April 8th already, and Mya will be 15 months in 2 short days! Its amazing how fast time has gone, and I get a feeling it will only continue this way. It seems like just yesterday Jayson and I brought Mya home....CRAZY! It's so funny when we see other babies now, its hard to imagine that Mya was ever that little. But speaking of little babies I have a ALOT of friends that are preggers right now, so its hard not to have baby fever...BUT NO WORRIES, no plans for that anytime soon! LOL!! Mya keeps us both plenty busy and always on our toes.

So just a quick recap of what we have been up to to start this blog off....

Jayson is working at Red Rock Radio Station in Duluth.....he is busy being on 4 stations and being the Production Director....poor guy is working his butt off!

Amanda is working for Impact Advertising in Duluth....I work part time so that I can be home with Mya as much as posible.

Mya is in a great school and loves all her friends and teachers there! She goes 4 days a week right now. She is learning so much, from sign language (she now tells us when she needs a diaper change), colors, shapes and it seems like new words everyday! She is not walking quite yet, but is so close.......she is still a little scared to let go of mommy and daddy's hands!

Oh and of course...Jayson popped the question...we are happily engaged....planning a wedding for next March (hopefully) down in Jamacia!

Well thats it for now, we will do our best to keep you updated! Take care!!!!
