St. Patrick's Day

Happy St Patrick's Day from our little leprechaun Mia!!! This awesome outfit was made for her by one of my mom's friends. It is the perfect St Patties Day attire. I think I am going to start a tradition and make all of my kids wear this outfit on St Patrick's Day!



I love this face. It fits the outfit...kind of crazy!

The only smile I could get out of her after taking hundreds of pictures!

Trip to Pocatello

Since I have had what seems like an eternity off from work (really only 12 weeks) and Tyson is gone half of the month, I have made a couple trips to Pocatello to see my parents. I have to admit, Mia, Jager and I are spoiled when we visit. She gets all of the attention and play time she can handle, Jager gets 3 or more walks a day (compared to maybe one a week here!) and I get my coffee brought to me in the morning while relaxing in front of the TV. It is great! We have also gone to see my grandma a couple of times. It amazes me that she can hardly remember who she is but she remembers the baby. She doesn't know who I am or my relation to her but she loves the baby!! When we visited her last week she was telling everyone at her assisted living home that "the baby is coming today!" It really is fun to see her with Mia.
I keep reminding my self to ENJOY this time off of work because it will not last. I have to go back in less than 2 weeks!



Proud grandparents oogling at their first granddaughter. Notice Jager looking very put out! He used to be the favorite!

Great grandma with Mia and my mom

She LOVES the baby!
