Maya May

Maya at 14 months:

Runs everywhere she goes

Loves food-chocolate is a fave

Loves Baby Einstein

Still isn't talking-says "Bi-ah"-don't know what that means though

Doesn't sleep through the night and still has to be rocked to sleep-she's a little spoiled

Loves shopping, but hates the stroller-that makes for a fun trip for mom and grandma

Grandma's girl through and through

and last but not least

cute. as. ever.

Happy Birthday, Hubby!

Obviously a super old picture, but our computer crashed taking with it our pictures

and the camera is still broken, so this will have to do. Plus we're skinny here, so why not, right?

Nathan's birthday isn't until tomorrow, but blogging sounded like a good idea, so I thought I would with him a Happy Birthday today.

I'm so glad that you were born. You're my bf and the love of my life. I hope you have the best day-you deserve it!

Love,

your beautiful wife

Tagged

My sister-in-law Stacie tagged me to do this, and since I've been in a little bit of a blogging rut I thought maybe this will be a good way to get me out of it.

4 shows I like to watch:
1.Days of Our Lives (I know...)
2.Ellen
3.Today Show
4.Life Unexpected

4 things I am passionate about:
1.Pictures-I have gotten Maya's pictures taken every three months since she was born, and have spent way too much money on them, but I know I'll be forever grateful that I have Maya's life documented like that.
2. Being tolerant of other people-As a member of the LDS Church my standards are very different from a lot of other people's, but I think it's extremely important that we remember no matter what we may believe, we can't force our beliefs on others, and we need to be respectful of the way others choose to live their lives.
3. Animals-love them. I would be a vet if I could.
4. Being a good mom and wife.

4 phrases I use frequently:
1. Seriously?
2. Crap! (I'm with ya Stace)
3. That ticks me off! (only I don't say ticks. I thought I would tone it down for all you good Mormon folk)
4. You're killing me! (usually to Nathan)

4 things I have learned from the past: (this is a little deep for me)
1. it's a little cliche, but don't take the people you love for granted because you don't know how long they will be here, or how long you will be here I guess..
2. Forgive! and do it quickly...it only makes YOU unhappy.
3. Enjoy where you're at in life. If you spend you're whole life waiting for things to get better, you're going to miss out on a whole lot.
4. It's the Lord's will not mine. His is always better anyway. (I'm with you again Stacie)

4 places I would love to visit:
1. NYC
2. Disney World (it's serisouly my home away from home)
3. England
4. Hawaii

4 things I did yesterday:
1. slept in (I didn't have Maya)
2. watched vidoes on youtube (how much of a loser am I?)
4. cleaned
5. looked for a new car

4 things I am looking forward to:
1. Nathan coming home from playing airsoft
2. buying a house
3. graduating from college
4. being skinny again

4 things I love about winter:
1. nothing
2. nothing
3.nothing
4. nothing

4 things on my wishlist:
1. the abuzz cardi from Anthropologie
2. the pretty paisley rug from Anthropologie
3. new bedding from Anthropologie
4. a puppy

I tag:
you!

Februaruy Life

I haven't been blogging much lately, so I thought today that I would go get all the pictures off my camera and make a nice long post. Well, the poor thing has died. I put new batteries in it, and it won't turn on, so I guess it's time we get a new camera. Life has been pretty crazy for us this month. Between looking for a new car and a house, we don't have much down time. It's good stress though, and we're pretty excited to be moving. Maya is growing in leaps and bounds and it's so fun to see her learn new things. I think she's going to be in kindergaten before she starts talking though. Well, before this post gets any more boring I'm gonna go. If anyone has a suggestion for a good cheap camera let me know!

on my mind

It's 12:00 and I can't sleep, so why not blog? I have lots of things running through my head, so maybe if I type all out my head will clear and I can get some much needed sleep.

1. It's about time my little monster gets her first haircut. Is it that long you ask? Absolutely not, but she's growing a baby mullet, and we need to get the back evened (does that look right to you?) up with the top. Plus the child was cursed to have unruly hair just like Nathan and me, and the child already has split ends.

2. I am oh, so fat. I have gained, are you ready for this? 50 lbs since Nathan and I have been married, and it's about time I started losing it. Sadly, none of this is baby weight, so I have no excuse. I start dieting every Monday and by Tuesday morning the diet is over. My bf is getting married in June of 2011, so that gives me a year and a half to get my ginormous booty in shape. Although, I hope I don't lose the booty cause Nathan kinda likes it.

3. I love Nathan. He's perfect. I don't deserve him.

4. I love Maya. Right now she's sleeping soundly in her crib, and I just wanna go wake her up and snuggle her, so I think I will.

Good night!

Christmas Eve

It was a fun Christmas at the Hawk-Mathews-Beadle home. The pictures are completely out of order, but cute nonetheless. We have a few Christmas traditions in our family. One of them is opening pajamas on Christmas Eve and another is decorating cookies. Maya definitely enjoyed eating more than decorating. Here are some pictures of our day. Pictures of Christmas day coming soon. Hopefully.

only an aunt

So, I found this picture while I was looking throught my mom's photos, and I died laughing. I'm not sure what happened here, but somehow Megan ended up in the tub with Maya. Maya sure loves her!
