I am a slacker!

Well, it has been a bit busy...blah...blah...blah...aren't we all! That is just a great adage for being too lazy to post anything in almost three months...ha! Anyway, a lot has gone on...we've had a great past few months and here are pictures and words to share!
In this picture, I took Seneca to a pumpkin patch...the place was a little run down so needless to say, the only exciting event to capture on camera was her playing on the playground.
Our girl LOVES to swing!
We had some great family bonding time with my dad's side of the family....
This is a shot of my Uncle Ira, Cousin Laja and Aunt Lili
Aunt Lili, Me, Mom, and Mamie
A few of the cousins...Me, Stefane, and Laja
Mamie & Papie
Mamie, Me and Seneca....Three generations!
Dad and Seni hiking While Matt had mid-terms at school, Seni and I escaped to California for a brief visit. I'm sorry I was not able to visit everyone...I promise next time we visit...we will make it happen.
We went to Sea World....
Seni enjoying Mom and Ray's jacuzzi---she LOVES water
Love the water-logged diaper....Uncle Andre and Aunt Pega Joon snuggling with Seni in the morning...
While we were in California we were able to spend some time with Seneca's birth mother Allison and her daughter Emma.
Allison's nephews and Emma along with Seneca
Seneca playing fetch with Figo
Got to love this one
After our brief visit to California...Matt and I went on a HOT date to Las Vegas for the U2 concert! This was AMAZING!!
Jeff, Rob, Jenesse, Me and Matt
We had general admission tickets and we were second row from the cat-walk....so close!
Here is a better shot...I wish he'd pull me up on stage...I was right there! :) Then Halloween quickly came and we had THE most adorable DUCK you have ever seen! Quack...Quack!
This is us Trick-or-Treating! She loves candy!
Just a fun video of Seneca chasing a cat....

Our family is doing very well! Matt spends a lot of time at school working hard on his studies as well as doing his best to find a job. He has had many interviews so hopefully something will come up soon.

As for me, I LOVE being a mom! Seneca and I go to the park, eat, play, laugh, snuggle, wrestle, read, sing, play in water... you name it we are doing it! In addition to this, I am the Education Committee Chair for the MBA Spouses Association. Our committee hosts about three activities a month so that keeps me pretty busy working with my committee on executing some fun educational events (book club, quilting, parenting class, marital relations class, cooking class, etc.). To keep me sane and physically agile, I teach Yoga 3 days a week. So Life is GREAT!

We Love Seneca SO MUCH! She is such a blessing in our life! We absolutely LOVE the joy she brings to our family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Please take care.

I love her sounds while she's chasing the kitty. :) What a cute girl! That is cool that is cool that you guys got to hang out with Seni's birth mother a little bit, too. And U2... JEALOUS MUCH?!! Amazing!

It's about time you updated your blog, Mesia!! :) I'm glad to see that you're all doing so well. We miss you guys and it's sad that we can't have little play-dates together.

Can't believe how big Seneca has gotten. She's so cute. Her halloween costume is so cute. Looks like you are all well.

Great update! Looks like things are going great for you guys. Seneca is SO cute and adorable. I love that you were able to see her birth mom and bio-sister. We do that too with our birthmoms, people don't always get it, but I bet you do. I'm super jealous you got to see U2!

Mesia: What an adorable, beautiful, sweet child. You and Matt are so blessed in sharing your life with Seneca. Your pictures are so fun to view and see how much fun all of you are having living life. Keep up the good work!

Love the duckie costume! SO CUTE! Did you see our silly kids costumes on our blog? I love Halloween! Your trip to California looks fun, we are really wanting to take the kids to Sea World. Maybe you can give us some family friendly tips ;)
Are you guys still trying to adopt? How is it going?
We are in Southern Utah. If you guys are ever this way, give me a call!
