Mug Shot

Malaya started preschool this fall. We kept it pretty simple and joined a co-op with a few ladies from our church. It's only once a week and each mom takes a turn teaching. Malaya has so much fun and is always excited to go (except for when she sees the school bus go by, she is sad she can't ride on it)

 Usually, Malaya will never let me touch her hair. It always has to be down and long (like Rapunzel), but she was so excited and let me do her hair for her first day of school. 

 It's hard to believe that she is 3 1/2! 

Time seems to go by more quickly now than ever, and it makes me sad she is growing up. 

My sweet little Malaya Badaya :) 

Our 1st Garden

We were able to plant our 1st garden this summer. Malaya had a great time planting, watering,weeding, and of course eating from the garden. 

We planted lots of peas....but they didn't last long because Malaya couldn't keep her hands off of them. She LOVES peas from the garden. 

We also planted cucumber, carrots, green onion, basil, and pumpkins. 

We have a HUGE grape vine in our backyard. We made tons of smoothies and ate grapes all Summer, Yum!

We also caught tons of bugs, slugs, and played outside as much as possible. 

We have two apple trees and two cherry trees as well. Malaya loved to help out. And yes, whenever we were outside, she was stripped down to her panties :)
