When Daddy's Away... The Girls Will Play!


So I'm not going to start off this post by lying!!! I HATE hunting season. I try to pretend like I really enjoy it, but deep down I am only pacifying my husband by acting intrigued by the stories that he tells me. This year Steve had this brilliant idea to enroll in the dedicated hunter program. The way he explained it to me, was that he could hunt deer, with any weapon, during any of the weapon hunting periods... His thinking... If he could not make it out for the Bow hunt, he could just go on the Muzzle Loader hunt... If that one did not work out, heck he could go on the rifle hunt. The only thing that this actually did was PROLONG the hunting season! Instead of hunting two weeks out of the year he ends up hunting 6 weeks!(Because you have to throw in two weeks for the Elk Hunt) I really don't mind Steve going hunting. It's something that he really enjoys and I love for him to get to do stuff that he enjoys. It's just hard over the long weekend, home alone! I found another benefit to having my baby girl. Now I have somebody to actually hang out and play with me. We started the long COLD weekend off with a girls movie night. We popped popcorn and indulged in total chick flicks... (Toy Story 1 & 2, Monsters and Finding Nemo.) We went and spent an hour with Aunt Tas & Emma, went shopping to try and find me a new pair of jeans (we totally failed) and made yummy treats all weekend long! Here's a few pictures we wanted to share with daddy to make him totally jealous of all the fun that we had.
Right after Steve left Sienna decided to dump the ENTIRE box of cheerios all over the floor!!!
Thank heavens for having my new Dyson! It's the best money I have ever spent and has literally saved my marriage. If you don't have one of these babies you NEED to get one!
We played dress up with bowls on our heads!
Ate Brownie batter! (Please don't lecture me on the dangers of un-cooked eggs!!!)
Played with a little styrofoam

Ate Chocolate pudding
This was taken before Steve left... Just had to throw it in because I just love this picture. Sienna LOVES to help daddy take the garbage out and bring it back in. She holds on the entire way out of the driveway. I smile every time I see them coming up the lane.
Drank peaches & Creame... Like a puppy! She practicing for Halloween!
Ate rice crispy treats. Yep, we pretty much ate A LOT of crap!
Played with the bunny Aunt Angie gave her for her birthday.
And finally daddy retunred to a sick baby who was up with a
104 degree fever... Welcome home Daddy!

Thankfully only two more weeks of hunting season!!! If it works out as planned I will have a nice
picture of a HUGE deer to post next week!

Blog Stalking

I LOVE blog-stalking!~
I love finding new people!
I stumbled upon an amazing blog a couple of months
ago and have been stalking it ever since.
This little family has gone through so many trial and heartache
& I swear they are the most loving and forgiving people on this planet!
There has been so much stuff that has gone on over the past few months
in my family and after reading this touching post last night, I literally went
& got my baby girl out of her crib & rocked her for over an hour! Just to
be able to hear her breathe and smell her sweet skin was such a blessing!
Lacey, the blog poster has taught me such an amazing life lesson!
I am going to try and be more like her, more understanding and loving and I am
purging all the negativity out of my life, no matter how hard it is to do!

Pellets!

My Little Puppy


I attempted to get Sienna's picture taken in her Halloween costume... She did NOT cooperate... Little stinker would not smile!!! We will have to try again next week when she's not feeling so crappy. She had her well baby check on Thursday. She weighed 18 pounds... She's not even on the charts for her weight but she's in the 75% for her height. She's getting so big but had to get 5 shots and was NOT happy. It was so sad seeing her little face getting the shots.
