Daddy and Maya Exercising

Howdy!

Here is my little sick cowgirl. She did really good for not feeling well. I love you Maya and I hope this virus goes away fast! You are the cutest little cowgirl I ever did see :)

Frogs and Bears

I have not been very diligent with my blogging and I can come up with a bunch of reasons why, but today I wanted to record a little bit about Maya.
She is saying many, many words. Here are a few of her favorite:
Please
Cat
Cow
Bear
Frog
Sky
Choo Choo
Water
Egg
Book
Tia
Bye Bye
I love you
Mami

Maya or Yaya

Hello
Hi
Wee Wee

And a bunch more that I can't remember. She is growing so fast :(

Over the Hill

I am officially done with midterms as of yesterday! I still have a test next Tuesday, but I will be okay because it is my easiest and most favorite subject, Nutrition. So far I have solid As in all of my classes and I hope to keep them that way :S It is hard to study when you have an active little girl wanting to play all the time. So tomorrow, I will relax and enjoy my awesome husband and daughter. Our mission tomorrow is to find our Halloween costumes, Phillip needs to get together with our church organist/pianist and practice the Christmas song we will be singing this year, and maybe we will meet with our friends. I have not mentioned that Phillip is our Ward Choir Director, have I? Well, he got this calling a few weeks ago and it is a challenge for him, but he is doing a great job and learning. I also joined the choir and now I am learning how to sing. This calling will be a blessing for our family, just as all the other callings.

Stress Reliever

Okay, so I have a test in a couple of hours and I should probably be studying. But I think five hours should be good enough. I tend to over stress about things because I always want the best grade I can get. Since I am stressing, I thought I could come and write on my blog to forget about my test for at least a few minutes. Although, I think writing about my test is not really forgetting about it :P

Today, I am a little over 23 weeks pregnant. It is crazy to think that I am over half way. We can't wait to have our two little girls together. Maya will be such a good sister, I hope. She is so cute! She tries to help me with the laundry. Her way of helping is by putting my underwear in the trash can and putting dad's cloths in the kitchen drawers. She also helps me with the dishes, she brings a chair over by the sink and makes a big huge mess with the water (good thing they invented mops and paper towels). She loves to color and is learning many words. She loves Dora and her backpack, Shrek, Elmo and animals. She will be a good teacher for Addison Victoria (yes, we have selected a name, I think).
Well, that is all for today. I have to brush my teeth and get out the door. Wish me luck!
Here are a couple of pictures:


My belly is GROWING! I started showing much sooner than with Maya.(23 weeks)

Los Angeles Temple

We had the blessing of going to the Temple yesterday. They have little rooms at the temple you can rent for a day, and so we thought we could use one. Phillip went in first while Maya and I had lunch, played, went to the Visitors Center and took a nap. Then after Phillip came back I went in. We had a very spiritual and uplifting time. I love how I feel when I am at the Temple. After I came out, we went to snap some pictures and then headed home. Maya loved walking around the temple.

We love this tree.
