Maya's Happy Place is......

WHEN SHE IS SPENDING TIME WITH HER COUSINS!!!!

Avery & Hudson don't have names anymore.....Maya simply calls them her "cousins" AND she asks to talk to them and see them more, and more, and more ALL THE TIME!!! I don't have enough fingers to count all the times in one day that Maya asks to go to "Jenny's house"

And when she is hanging out with them she is the happiest 'lil girl ever, a happy Maya = a happy Mama!!! ;)

And even though Carly lives far away, Maya loves to talk to her on the phone and look at her pictures. We are so excited to see them so soon!

Disney On Ice

We went to Disney on Ice and it was a great show. Maya was in heaven and I enjoyed myself as well! Ariel has been her favorite for quite awhile now but she now is becoming more fond of all the princesses. We drove down to Sandy and took the trax downtown. Maya loved the "Train" and was giggling and singing the whole way down there in anticipation. We had tickets with my friend Lori and her daughter, and Lori's sister Leslie and her 2 girls. Grammy, Hudson, and Avery had seats close by and all the kids had a great time. We will definitely being going back next year, this show was fabulous!!!

Halloween Activities

Happy Halloween!! Maya is actually healthy this Halloweeen, a change from her first 2 when she was so sick, so we are very excited about that! She picked out her very own costume, Disney Princess Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Ariel is her absolute favorite! We went trick or treating at Jenny's neighborhood again and the kids had a blast. Here are some fun pics of Halloween, the pumpkin patch, and carving the pumpkins.


All ready to go trick or treating!

We have had a great summer, accomplished a lot, smiled a lot, cried a lot, enjoyed a lot, and been very, very blessed! Here are the last of summer pictures!


The Hill clan got together last night at Tracy & Joeen's house, she truly is the hostess with the mostest! :) This pic is Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Herb with many of their great grandbabies on the Hill side. Getting all these kids to be in 1 picture took a lot of skill, and as usual Joeen got the job done!

The chaos before the 1 shot with all the kids in it! Way to go Joeen!
