I can spend all day looking back at the tons of pictures I have of Miss Mya. How could I have missed this one? In the words of Kimora Lee…fabulosity!

June 16, 2010 - 9:35 am - This is soooo cute!
June 17, 2010 - 11:31 am - Love it!
July 4, 2010 - 12:48 am - I wrote this right after Mya was born. The words just seem to pop up in my head and I made sure I wrote it down. She was my second granddaughter. I waited for 17 years to have another granddaughter and I was lucky and the lord blessed me with Olivia just 13 day later. Oh what a feeling it was to have two more little girls around the same time. Kiara was 17 then and our playtime had passed.

This little girl looooooves stickers! They are literally everywhere! Some days I find them in the most random places…like on my butt. Yes, it has happened before and it has happened on more than one occasion. I’m sure someone definitely got a good laugh from it…thanks to Mya.
June 14, 2010 - 12:34 am - Navy, I know what you mean about Mya and her stickers. I, too find them in many places like my eyeglass case, bottom of my shoes , and yes on my bed, wherever she thinks she needs to put a sticker at! Oh, that girl!
June 30, 2010 - 2:54 pm - I can never get enough of Mya's smile. I think I tell you that everytime I see you, but it's so beautiful! It really lights up a room as soon as she walks in!!!!

Every holiday…Mya wakes up with anticipation. It doesn’t matter what holiday it is….the anticipation is the same whether it’s Mother’s Day or Groundhog’s Day. This morning was no exception. As soon as Mya opened her eyes, she yelled with excitement “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!” Her voice echoed into our room and I smiled….and I smiled not because it was Mother’s Day…not because she had gifts for me…but because her little heart was filled with so much glee that she couldn’t contain herself…and because she expressed it without any inhibitions….and because she had no other agenda than to celebrate the day.
I love being a mom. I love being a mom to Mya. I love waking up to the sounds of laughter. I love holding her hand. I love it when she whispers in my ears. I love it when she offers to scratch my back. I love that she can take a joke. I love that she always has an opinion. I love that she tries to outsmart me. I love how vulnerable she is when she sleeps. I love that she’s independent. I love her. I love being her mom. I love being a mom.
Happy Mother’s Day to the mother’s who are throwin’ it down….puttin’ it down…and holdin’ it down for their families. It’s a wonderful thing!

As with any other kid….Mya loves birthday parties! With birthday parties…comes a cake…a jumper…goody bags and sometimes surprises like the surprises we came across at Zachary’s 1st Birthday. We were greeted by farm animals and a couple of ponies! It was awesome! The party was just a few days after Cinco de Mayo, so it was only fitting that they had a fiesta themed birthday party topped off with tacos, sombreros and pinatas…three huge pinatas! I mean…who has three pinatas? Mya’s bag was completely filled with candy and toys to last for probably the entire year! Thank you for having us, Zachary! It was the best party ever! Happy 1st Birthday!
May 18, 2010 - 2:21 pm - Great pictures! That party looks like it was just has fun as you discribed it to me.

Trying to get more than one kid to look into the camera at the same time for a picture is impossible! It’s like Whack-a-Mole…or Snap-a-Mole…I should say! I snapped these pictures of Jayden and Nathan while we were waiting in line for the much anticipated Koji BBQ truck. It was our first time there and the line was crazy! We waited an hour and a half to get chicken tacos, short rib tacos and short rib burritos. Needless to say…it was deelish and worth the wait. The fusion of Korean and Mexican flavors into one taco the size of my palm was packed with big and bold flavors. I definitely had a party in my mouth with the sweet, the salty, the tang and the right amount of spice. Guaranteed…I will be chasing down that truck again in the near future…so if you see me on the streets…HOLLLLA!!!!
“Nathan!!! Yoo hoo…the camera is over here!!!!“
Perfect….except Jayden’s eyes are closed! Arghhh!
May 15, 2010 - 11:53 am - Mmmmmm Kogi!!! It was great seeing you in line at the truck :) I'm sure we will cross paths at another Kogi stop in the future, lol.
May 16, 2010 - 9:56 am - That's so funny, I always have that problem with the girls. So bad that most of the time I can only get a good picture by transfering faces!

A day in the life of a print model…

May 20, 2010 - 7:26 am - What a superstar! Gooooo Mya!

NO MYA! You cannot have any coffee. Only big people drink coffee…but you can have a Green Tea Frappuccino!
May 13, 2010 - 5:45 pm - So cute. Is tea still good for them?
May 13, 2010 - 6:37 pm - There's lots of caffeine in tea in general...so if you had to pick a tea...green tea is the best option. There's tons of antioxidants in it! It probably doesn't outweigh all of the sugar and caffeine in it being a frappuccino...but it was a compromise and worth the moral of the story! ;)
May 14, 2010 - 3:43 pm - It is great that you are teaching Mya about compromise! Moderation is the key to everything.
