Utah State Fair and phone call from papa

Mia and I went to the Utah State Fair today.  I really enjoy going to the fair and seeing the exhibits, especially the photography contest.  Oh, and who can forget the fair food!

It just so happened that one of my old roommates is a high school ag teacher and her FFA (future farmers of America) kiddos were running the "Little Hands on the Farm" area today at the fair so we decided to stop by so Mia and Suzanne could meet each other.  The little turkey pulled her NAM out in the car on the way, so she doesn't have it in for these pictures.  (Bad mama I know, but I didn't want to wash it and try to put it in her little mouth at the dirty fair grounds!)

Mia REALLY wanted her picture taken in the farmer head.  She took it VERY seriously.  :)

I especially love the little farmer bow on her head.  :)

Mia finally cracked a smile when Suzanne snuggled her.  I think they are both big fans of each other as they were both just smiling away at each other like crazy!

Mia and I took a self portrait with the cow.  We didn't milk it cause its teats were too low and I didn't want to accidentally dump Mia out of the carrier. :)

Sara-Bella and Sofia-Bug, I took this picture of the horses for you.  Look how long their tails are - all the way down to the ground!!!  Wish you could have been there with Mia and I to see all the beautiful horses!  (Have your mama click on the picture to make it bigger so you can see their long tails better.)

After meeting with Suzanne at the fair, Mia and I went over to Amy's.  We were planning on going back to the fair and take the twins to see the sights and to eat us some fair food, but after we fed the twins and made us a little something we were just too tired so we decided to stay and chill at her house.  We may try and go on Friday, but we'll see.  We had a fun night - I played with Ellie and Emma and Amy snuggled Mia and we all had a lovely and wonderful evening!

Amy took a crack at feeding Mia and did a "bang up job" of it.  It's so fun for me to see my good friends holding my baby girl and loving on her!  Don't worry though, I still got my snuggle time in as well!  :)

 
First of all let me say that no, I'm not choking Mia in these two pictures!  She gets startled in her sleep sometimes and gasps, flings her arms wide and does the saddest little scared cry.  :(  When she does this and I'm around, I put my hand on her little chest and tell her, "It's okay, mommy's here," and it helps her calm back down into sleep.

Tonight when it happened, she put her little hand on mine as if to reassure me that she knew I was there and taking good care of her.  See what I mean - she's the sweetest little thing in the whole wide world!!!  She just melts my heart time and time again! I had Amy jump for the camera (thanks Aim!) to get a picture before she moved again.  Look at my precious girl and her sweet hand on mine!  Oh, and I can't help but notice her long skinny legs and toots in this pic - so precious to me!  :)

Zeus called while I was at Amy's to check on us and say good night, so after I talked to him for a minute I put him on speaker so that he could talk to Mia.  She was a little fussy at the time but when I put the phone up to her little ear and her papa talked to her, she did the cutest thing ever!  She moved her little hand up to the phone like she was holding it, stopped fussing and got the biggest smile on her face.  Amy and I were both absolutely DYING laughing!  She grabbed the camera as quick as she could to get a picture, but Mia was too quick and moved before she could get it.  Here's the video we got instead as papa was talking to Mia:






Does this little girl know and love her papa or what?!?!?!

Babies loving babies

I SO love it when babies love babies!  This trip to Utah it has been so fun to see my friends kids and Mia together!!!  Here are a few pics from the past few days of our kiddos:


Here's from Wednesday when Mia and I stopped by my good friend Heidi's house.  Only her two youngest were there when we got there and they immediately flocked to Mia so we all sat down on the ground and admired her.  :)  Heidi has some of the sweetest kids I've ever met and we always have a great time hanging out, whether it's running quick errands or sitting and chatting for hours! 

Jacob and Eli - I'm bummed this photo turned out so blurry, but the look on Jacob's face is just too precious not to post anyway!

Jacob and Eli checking out a sleeping Mia.  I couldn't catch it on film, but when Mia woke up she just kept smiling the BIGGEST smiles at Jacob! 
Hmmmm... I'm thinking arranged marriage...???

Eli was way too fast for me to catch him softly touching Mia's everything -  head band, hair, fingers, nose, car seat buckle, etc. Such a sweetie!

Today (Sunday) Mia and I went over to my good friend Amy's to visit her and her twin girls who will be a year next Sunday (Happy early birthday Ellie and Emma!).  I got to visit all three of them in the hospital a year ago when they made their debut and can't believe how much they've grown and that they are already going to be one!!!  Of course, they were WAY excited to see baby Mia and so I grabbed the camera to snap a few pictures:

While Mia slept on, blissfully unaware of her adoring audience, Ellie and Emma crawled right over and pulled themselves up to get a better view.  :)

Emma and Ellie get momentarily distracted by the camera.

Then got right back to checking out the "baby".  lol

Emma, then Ellie take turns looking at the camera - such cuties!!!

Mia and I went to church with Amy to help wrangle the twins and Mia got to wear her new little dress. I think it's so stinkin' cute that I just have to post some pictures.  :)

Another photo, mom?!?!?  Well, I guess I'll smile then!
MAN do I love my precious, beautiful little girl to pieces!!!

And last, but not least, remember the book "Where's Waldo?"  Well, I had a flashback to that book last night when I saw Mia in her pj's.  Apparently the blanket our friend Eunice bought for Mia is a PERFECT match to the cute pj's I got for her.  I call these photos, "Where's Mia?"  Spot her if you can.  :)

Isn't that crazy how they match exactly?!?!

I put her down vertically on the blanket, but when I came back she was mysteriously horizontal on the blanket.  Uh oh!  We've got a mover on our hands!!!

Who, me?!?!?

As I miss my husband down in Texas terribly, I'm also enjoying seeing so many great friends and my wonderful family while Mia and I are up here visiting in Utah.  I can't help but realize how lucky I am to be blessed with SUCH great friends and family!  (...Now if ONLY I could get them all to move down to Texas!)
