Well most of you know that Mike will be back in school on Monday. We are all excited to have him back at ASU to finish what he started a few years back. He is a little nervous though. Who wouldn't be? He told me last night at dinner that he feels old compared to those freshmen he saw on campus with their parents. I told him I could of made him look even more old by going with him (showing pregnant) and with kids in tow!

So with a new backpack, heavy books, and a parking pass that still works...there is no turning back!

Good Luck Mike we love you!

20 weeks and counting

We just got back from Utah this last week ( pictures will come soon ) and we had so much fun. We had to come back a day early to get some things done before we started back to work. One of those things was having an ultrasound done. For some reason I was nervous. I have no idea why but just the typical worries of knowing that the baby is healthy and growing.

Well my worries eased as the technician said the baby was measuring big. My first thought but didn't admit was oh this seems like deja vu with Ryan. He measured big too. As she did her measuring from head to toe everything was as it should be. Since the baby was very active and not really wanting to get bothered, I have to get another ultrasound since she wasn't able to get a good reading on the heart. But was told not to worry since the reason was the baby was not staying still.

As the calculations were set, she pushed my due date to December 19th since the baby was measuring big. Those of you that are familiar with December 19th that is Ryan's birthday. Good thing for scheduled c-sections I can pick the day and it won't be that one! :)

So with my mind as ease we got to the part where she would tell us if its a boy or girl. And with much persistence ( the legs were crossed ) we got a wonderful image. Without a doubt...
It's a boy! Congrats Ryan and Maya! I just know you will be such a great big brother and sister!

Maya is 1

Maya had her 1st Birthday this month. I can not believe it has been a year since she was born. I love how she is a part of our family. She had been such a good baby and has such a beautiful personality. Yes, I know all those things coming from her mother are not surprising. Since its so hot here we decided to have just cake and ice cream with family to celebrate her day.

Oh July!

Most of you that are from the East Mesa area know about Ned's Krazy Sub. Yes they have been around since I was born. Seriously! It's a great sub for a great price kinda place. Plus its most devout Mormons eat there.

So for those of you that do love Ned's and go there often like the Mioni/Moore household, we know this one thing.

You will always bump into someone that you know, went to high school with, is in the same ward, last ward, works at the same place you do or did, played sports against, old boyfriends, galfriends you swore you would never lose touch with...you get my point.

And today I was glad I did go to Ned's for Mike.

I bumped into Mrs. Kendra W. with her oh so handsome men in her life! Like I said in the previous post, time does go by fast. Kendra was the one of those people that always has a smile on her face and is the least selfish person I know. Always doing some kind of service. I don't think I told her enough how much I appreciated her supporting me in my calling as a counselor in the Relief Society back in the day. And I know she was very forgiving seeing me with no make up on and hair pulled back.

So remember when going to Ned's you will find an old friend!

14 weeks and counting!

It amazes me how time does fly by. I realized I have only posted 1 time for June and that was to invite people to a jewelry party.

Boring!

But come to think of it nothing has really happened this month. Besides going up to Utah for my nephews blessing and spending time with the Moores we haven't done much. (except for complaining about the weather!)

OH wait....we have accomplished one thing. My goal was NOT to have 3 kids in diapers. Who would want that? So with advice from others, a manual, and lots to drink....

Ryan is potty trained!

I didn't do it all on my own, I had lots of help. Since he spends 2 days a week with my cousin Sara she was so good at getting him started. She has trained her 4 so I knew Ryan could do it. So we are proud of him. We have had some major bumps in the road but I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Camping

Those of you that know us know we don't camp much. But thanks to our wonderful Aunt Cristina she made it possible. We had alot of fun. At first I was hesitant taking a 2year old, and a 10month old. But I can't complain, they were great. Ryan loved "camping". That is all he talked about before we left and made sure we had his sleeping bag. So here are a few pictures of us enjoying our camping experience.

And I have to thank my wonderful in laws. They gave me a very nice sleeping bag when we got married and guess what? This was the first time ( almost 9 yrs ) of me using it. I was snug as a bug! I think we are going to do this more often. Why we hadn't done this sooner? Who knows?
DeMarco came from California and invited our cousin Dallin.

Lisandra and Herija

Papa and MayaGrandma and Aunt Cristina

I think Maya is part monster. This shows her angry eyes. Maybe because she was in "boy" attire. That girl cracks me up!

Ryan was a little sad that the "tray-er" had to be closed up. He loved being inside of it. I think he liked it more than the tent. :)

Mothers Day

Lets just say I was very spoiled today. And I have to add my husband actually listened to a craving I had. ( and so it begins! )



On Saturday I was at work and I was telling my co-workers I was craving a cupcake. I mean a good cupcake. Not the ones you make at home, the ones that are made at a bakery. I do have to admit the craving came from me reading the "Nie Nie Blog". Most of you read it too so you know what I am talking about.



So one of my co-workers mentioned Sprinkles Cupcakes in Scottsdale. You know the ones that cost about $3+ each. As I was listening to what he was saying about all the different flavors, colors, and sprinkles they have I was salivating! I mentioned this to Mike when I got home but knew a Scottsdale ride would not be in the agenda.



As we were eating a wonderful lunch prepared by Veronica today, I looked up at my parents china cabinet and saw a big brown bag with the name Sprinkles Cupcakes on it! I was very surprised!

So my friends let me introduce you to the best cupcakes ever! Yummmie!
