Nona

Miya came home from Youth Conference and said she missed Nona so much. She was so excited to see her the next morning when they all woke up. We love this little girl so much. Nona has started talking and can say; ball, balloon, book, boat, bubba, pop (which means poop and bubble depending on how she is smelling) dadda, mom, lyla. She can make the sounds of a dog, cat, cow, sheep, dinosaur and pop like a fish. We pretty much love everything she does except cry which doesn't happen often because someone quickly gives her whatever makes her happy. She is a wild one at church with her loud talking and running around. 4 months till nursery so we are busy walking the halls as I do stuff for the Primary.
She is a good eater and will eat anything except bread. She sleeps great still doing two naps a day each about 2 hours and sleeps 12 hours at night. She loves the water and being outside. We take walks with Jamie Pace and Aiden every week and she is so happy to be with a baby and outside. She is super social and loves pretty much anyone. She kisses with her whole mouth and squeezes when she hugs. She will wiggle hug if she can't get it tight enough.

Mann Tennis 2017

 Cannon played tennis at Mann Middle School this year. It was their first year for tennis and they did a great job. I was so proud of him for playing a sport with a team he didn't even know.

 Nona loved going to the matches and being outside eating dirt and rocks. 

Family Fun

One of Miya's chores is to take out the garbage and recycle. Lyla and Cannon were so excited for Lyla to hide in the yard waste bin and scare Miya. Miya was scared and then she scared Lyla by pretending to walk away and then ran back to shake the bin. You can tell from the video that Lyla didn't like it.

Miya and Tenli's day in Seattle

Miya won the March Madness bracket for our family this year. For winning she got to spend the whole day in Seattle with a friend. They had Spring Break just after the tournament so they were able to go in early with Phil to work. They spent the morning handing out at a coffee shop talking and waiting for stores to open. They window shopped and tried on some clothes, went to a movie, ate lunch, walked around by Phil's work and were followed around by a homeless guy. Miya was super nervous and walking really fast. I don't worry about her with Tenli because she can take care of the both of them. It was a really good day for both of them and a great way for them to get used to the city.

Nona's 1st birthday

We gave Nona cheesecake for her birthday, but she wasn't so sure about it to start with. I fed her a few bites and she was quick to catch on and loved it.

We went out to Red Robin with my parents the day before her birthday and they sang to her and gave her an ice cream sunday.

So fun to have all her grandparents here for her first birthday.

The swing we got her for her birthday.

Ali and Jordan moved into our ward months ago, but we didn't connect that we were related until I went to Grandpa Rammell's funeral and they were there. They were only in our ward for a few months while Jordan did a rotation at the hospital here. She is Mark Rammell's daughter.

Nona's 1st birthday was celebrated with mom and dad coming for a visit. It was so great to have them here. So much fun to have Nona hit that one year mark and to feel like we are finally getting the hang of having another little one around our home. She still hates her car seat and being in the car. She is a fantastic sleeper and still takes two really good naps. She loves when everyone gets home from school and has more people to play with. She loves mom and spending as much time outside as possible. She loves the walks we take each week with Jamie Pace and Aiden. She loves Austin Newville and seeing him in Sunday School.
