Happy Birthday.....

....Happy 33rd Birthday Dada!!

Yes!! Dada is officially in his mid 30's!!

Matt had a very good, low key relaxing Birthday this year! His last Birthday celebration with just all his girls! From here on out he will have a little man to help bring the count from 1 to 3 to 2 to 3! Still over ruled but better Dada better!!

We love you!!

Merry Christmas......

....HO HO HO!!!

Merry Christmas!!

Mayson all ready to head to Mimi & Bobba's on Christmas morning! She just finished opening presents from Santa....very happy girl!

Mayson as seen below sporting her Santa pj's along with her new Elmo backpack!

Life does not get any better!!

Yessss!!!!

May with.....

....The Clause!!

Merry Christmas Card Pictures....

.....That NEVER Made It To The Final Print!!

OK, I know I never sent out Christmas Cards this year or Happy New Year Cards!

Sorry!! I did try 1 day to snap some pictures of our 2 crazy girls that DO NOT like to cooperate with the camera. Me being about 9 months pregnant could barley get the 2 of them together or get up off the floor by myself after getting just a few snap shots!!!

So needless to say, no pictures, no cards, & I'm really kinda OK with it all!! :)

Mayson & her Santa hat!! LOVED IT!!! She sported this crazy little hat all Christmas Season!

Booyah would not stand up or even pretend to care that I really wanted a picture!

Mayson did at least try & moved around for some different poses, but still looks a little disconnected with the shoot! :) Gotta love our girls!!

Let It Snow...Well....

...Let It "Fake" Snow!!!

We went down to Bellevue Town Center to watch it snow, see the nutcrackers dancing & see all the Christmas festivities!

Mayson was so excited to see the Polar Bear! She loved all the music & all the "craziness" that was happening around us! She just wanted to dance! Weird I know!!

Reunited & it feels so good!!! :) It had been awhile since MayMay & LayLay had seen each other! But don't you worry....no LOVE was lost! Mayson could not stop saying "Hi LayLay, Hi LayLay"!! Who can blame her though....look at those eyes!! :)

Happy Birthday....

.....Happy 63rd Birthday Grandpa!!

We had Grandpa over for his Birthday this year! We of course let him pick his Birthday dinner & naturally he picked.....

Potato Balls!!

I'm so mad I did not get a picture of our "healthy" meal! It was really good & of course even better the next day!

Dessert was Cheesecake! YUMMY!!

Grandpa about to make his Birthday wish!

Once again, the only picture I have to prove we actually had a Birthday party! :( Not even a picture of Grandpa & the real Pie! Sorry!

Flat Out......

....BUSTED!!!!

Momma left Dada & MayMay alone & look at the T-R-O-U-B-L-E they got into!

Dada was drinking pop (busted) & May grabbed the can down from the counter & dumped it ALL over her! (busted)!!!!

Light Up a Life Ceremony For Grandma

We went to celebrate the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Evergreen Hospital again this year for Grandma.

It was a very nice ceremony and prayer. It's always nice to see the great staff from Hospice and let them know how much we really appreciate the work they do. We wrote on paper ornaments for Grandma and hung them on the tree. It was a beautiful night out with no rain.

Amy joined us to remember Grandma this Christmas.

Grandma's memorial ornament



When the ground finally thawed out we were able to plant Grandma's Christmas tree at my Dad's house. Things were a little different this year with me being so pregnant and Mayson being so busy. We planted her tree during the day and unfortunately I do not have a picture of it at night, but you can still see how pretty it is!

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOMMA!!

After we lit the tree, Mayson got to go stomping in the mud puddles! This was her first time, so we had to show her how to do it and let her know that yes it is OK!! Of course, she LOVED it!!

Total "Nation" girl!!

Elmo birthday party

...Mayson's World!!!

Brought to you by the Letter "M" & the Number "2"!!

Well, as many of you know Mayson had an "ELMO" 2ND Birthday party this year!

Of course, I went "crazy" along with "crazy" Amy to create an Elmo party for my "crazy" girl!!

Here are the homemade Elmo invitations!

They all had their own unique personality!

Singing Happy Birthday to the Pie!!

MayPie with one of her many boyfriends- Sandman!

Who will touch it first??!!

Too slow Miss Pie! Sander beat you to Elmo's nose!


That's OK, because she is just going to lick it anyway!!
I got Mayson stripped down to her diaper, thinking she would get RED frosting all over her adorable Birthday outfit and stain it......nope.....just licked the frosting & off to playing!
Not interested in diving in....maybe next year??!!



The best picture I have of May in her Birthday outfit- sad I know!
Homemade adorable shirt from Auntie Kelly & the cutest TuTu from Kristin!
Along with her new baby & baby stroller from Grandpa!!



Look a picture of DAWNK!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Dawn, Auntie Kelly & Uncle JJ!!

Amy's YUMMY cookies she made!

Elmo heads, M's, 2's, & Dorthy the goldfish!!

So stinkin cute!

And my YUMMY cupcakes! (if I do say)!!!

Thank you everyone for making Mayson's 2ND Birthday party so much fun!

She is the luckiest girl to have you all here to celebrate with her!

Thanksgiving Day.....

.....Gobble...Gobble....Gobble!!

We had a Wonderful Thanksgiving! Of course filled with family, friends & more food then a pregnant Momma could ever hope for!

We started Thanksgiving Day off with Grandpa coming over for The Jangaard Thanksgiving Breakfast tradition of Swedish Pancakes & Pumpkin Pie!!

My Dad supervised Matt while he learned the Jangaard Family secret....so I guess he is NOT going anywhere now...now that he knows the secret! :) And of course he did a PERFECT job & now this BIG Momma expects them more then once a year!! :)

Grandpa & our Turkey!!

After we all got our food nap over with we headed to Mimi & Bobba's house for MORE food & more fun!

Bobba & our Turkey!

One of the best reasons to give Thanks......Uncle JJ was in town to play & teach Mayson all new fun things to say!
Miss Pie can say "GO CATS"! Both Uncle JJ & May think this is great! If Matt says "GO DOGS"! May will say...."NO GO CATS"!!
Busted!!


The two monkeys playing on the piano!


Another great reason to give Thanks....Aunt Judy & Uncle Jon were with us all for Thanksgiving dinner! Mayson loved getting in & out of the basket & Aunt Judy had no problem playing with her!


Uncle Jon, Aunt Judy with the Turkey!

Mayson could not of been more happier with her Birthday presents from Uncle Jon & Aunt Judy! As you can see here, May is saying..."OOOOHHHHHH".....before she even has the presents out! Loves presents, but then again who doesn't??!!

We had a VERY nice Thanksgiving & we are very Thankful for all our Family, Friends & Health.

...All About....

...Mayson At Her 2 Year well check appointment!!

This morning I took Mayson in for her stats! I love these appointments...

Love them, because I get to hear about how perfect & wonderful our daughter is!! :)

Weight....24 lbs...30%

Length....34 1/2 in...75%

Mellon...18 1/2 in...(didn't give me a %)but I will say perfect! :)

The Doc said that if you x her height by 2 it gives you an average of how tall she will be.....and the result is.....5'9''! Perfect....I will take that....not a "little person" after all! :)

Miss Pies check up went really well & I received nothing but good news!

Her tantrums are normal, her testing ME in normal, & her all around "skills" are normal!

What more could a Momma want???!!! Believe me NOTHING!! So proud of her!!

Mayson had to hold onto the video camera & every time I tried to take her picture she would say "cheese" & pretend to take my picture. So I could not get a real good picture of the girl....weird I know! :)

Cheese Momma!!



Mouth full of granola bar...trying to sneak in a picture...almost got a good one.




Waiting for the Doc & all his good news!


Mayson did receive her 2nd part to her Hep A shot. She didn't even cry. She did fake cry...kinda whined...like that kinda hurt...maybe I should fake it to get something....& yep it worked!

I took her to Dairy Queen for some ice cream! I really took her there because she was so good, not because of the fake cry...well & because Big Momma wanted some ice cream too! :)


She will not have to go back for another well check until she is 3! WoW 3!

....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO......

....MAYSON MARY....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY "2" YOU!!!!

NOVEMBER 21, 2009

Miss Mayson Mary turned 2!!!

It is crazy to think that our little Mayberry Pie is already 2...time goes by so fast!!

I told her just 19 more years & we will be dancing for your 21 run! She giggled....at me...probably knowing what I'm saying & thinking yeah right Mom you & crazy Amy will not be out with me on my 21 run!! :)

Mimi, Auntie Kelly, & Captain Awesome came over to deliver BALLOONS & presents!

The Birthday girl could not of been happier.

Mimi & Bobba got her these ADORABLE boots! We had to take a picture of her in her new boots holding her balloons!

Then it was off to Red Robin for a Birthday lunch celebration! She had to bring in her Birthday balloons-no talking her out of it!

We met up with a few of Mays favorite people....LisaK, DawnK & of course Amy!

An Elmo card...ohhhh....May is in Heaven!!

Of course we had them sing to May & get a Birthday sundae! Mayson was clapping her hands above her head saying HAPPY...HAPPY....HAPPY!!!!

Miss Pie had a great 2nd Birthday & is gearing up for her "party" on Saturday!!

WE LOVE YOU MAYSON MARY!!!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY!!

.... PoP Goes The MayMay!!!!

On our lazy Sunday, May found a new little "box" to play in! She emptied out her toy box & filled it with all her favorite things (for the moment anyway)!

She did scream for us to bring her sippy cup....& was laying down saying "MayMay go?" Goofy girl.....total Morell!! :)

BIG Girl....

Mimi had to hem these little pants for Miss Pie last Winter....well look who grew!!! Our peanut is growing....she has to be...prof is in the pants! Mimi took the hem out & presto just like new!! Fit like a glove now!!

Maybe she won't be our midget! Opps I mean Little Person!! :)

....All Treats...

...No Tricks.....

Happy Halloween!!!

Miss Pie went as a chicken this year for Halloween!

We told her she was a duck (her blankey has duckies on it) so she was very happy to be a "duck"!!

On Friday morning we met up with Mimi, Sander & Cayden at the Kirkland Comm. Center for the Pee-Wee Monster Mash! They had games and toys for all the kids. They all seemed to like it & it was so cute to see all the costumes! But of course these 3 kiddos were the cutest!! :)

Mayson sitting next to Sander the golfer & Cayden the monkey!

I love this picture of Sandman!!

A monster duck!!

Of course Mayson had to come around and stick her head the other way to see what that view was all about!

The "duck" feeding the monster!

We did not Trick or Treat this year because of the weather & because Mayson had no idea what she was missing, so we kept it simple.

Next year will be her year to get the candy.

We went to Trick or Treat Lisa & Dawnk in The Nation, then we went to Mimi & Bobba's house!

Waiting at the door for Mimi & Bobba!

Miss Pie knowing how cute she is with Dadda's hat on!

And of course, I made Halloween cupcakes!! They were spooky good!! :) (cheesy I know)!!
