Wow, lots has happened since our last post....almost a month ago!!!!

I will keep it brief and sum it up with several photo albums!!!!

First of all, I started kindergarten!!!!  I love it!!  Except for the day we had a fire drill, which was a little scary for me, I have had fun each and every day!!!  Sometimes we walk to school or Mommy pulls us in the wagon.  It takes 20 minutes to walk one way, so she usually drops me off in the car and picks me up in the wagon!  I have met lots of new friends and we had Gym class for the first time yesterday.

Tonight I am so excited to start a tumbling class!!!!  After watching the Olympics and seeing our fabulous USA team win the gold medal, I was inspired to learn a little of that myself!!!

OK, so back to the photos.  Here is Mason when he turned 22 months:

Then, later in the month, Daddy rode in the Pelotonia bike ride to raise money for cancer research!!!!  A big, giant THANK YOU to all our fabulous, wonderful, generous family and friends who donated to Daddy's ride!!!  He is only a few dollars away from his goal!!!

I know, I know....

I know Mommy is way behind on blog posts! She has gotten into little cleaning and organizing projects (and unpacking from vacay) while MR is napping, so it leaves her no time to load pics and update this blog!

But updates are coming soon including all our vacation pics and other activities! I found out who my kindergarten teacher is and in 3 weeks, I will go for my first day!!!

More later...

Birthday Parties, 4th of July, Summer Fun!

So far our July has been busy with birthday parties, Bible School, and hot, hot, dry days!!!!! I have been having so much fun with my iPod!  I download new apps almost every day! (Gosh,  Mommy still won't give me her Apple password...I don't understand why!!!!:)  Mason and I have kept Mommy and Daddy very busy, and we are so excited for our upcoming vacation!!!

Here is small recap (more to come, Mommy only has a few minutes!!):

4th of July was a great day!  We had a neighborhood parade (so hot outside!) and dinner out.

Summertime!!!

We have been having a busy, fun-filled summer lately!

After preschool ended, I went to Safety City for 2 weeks!  Then we visited Grandma and Grandpa in Athens for a couple days.  Then I had Baking & Cooking Camp this week!!!!  Visit our shutterfly site for all the pics....Mommy will be posting a few on here, but we know we are a little behind.

The BEST place to stay up to date on all of our family happenings is to follow mommy on Twitter @jamierathbun!!!!

Love, Mya and Mason

I am 5!!!!

We started the day with chocolate donuts in the donut maker and a candle in mine! Then daddy and mommy surprised me with a trip to the apple store to get me an iPod! They told me that daddy had to go into to look at something for his iPad, then when the salesperson asked what we were shopping for, they told her that we would be getting an iPod...for ME!!!!!  I picked a white one.  The lady and I set it up, then we downloaded a game and I was set to go!  I downloaded an app where I can text and even use my iPod as a phone!!  I have been texting Grandpa!! Aunt Sarah got me a sparkly cover that makes it look so fabulous!!!

 I can't believe I am 5!!!

My 5th Birthday Party!

I had a fabulous Angry Birds party with my friends! The party was at Magic Mountain, so we didn't have to decorate the room or anything.  But we had a cake and some favors that tied in with the theme!

Here are some pics of our goody bag treats and my cake.

Mommy and Grandma made these Freeze Pop holders for the goody bags with felt & shelf liners (green ones) and pink shelf liners.  We added names with a label maker and stuck on some stickers for decoration!

Here is the cake from Kroger:

And now for the Angry Bird slingshots....

We used red pom poms, goggly eyes, fabric paint (eyebrows and beak) and red card stock (feather on top).  This was fun and very easy!

We got the slingshots from Dollar Tree!

Here are the goody bags all ready to go!  Mommy used this website for the Angry Bird "flags" then used Photoshop to add the kids' names.

A beautiful spring day!

Today we went to Aunt Sarah's house for a visit! We loved Reesie's pink Escalade!!!
