Thankful

Thankful for this amazing man... Next week we will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary and I can honestly say there are times that I look at him and he literally takes my breath away! I love when he wears this on his head, I think he looks so cute! I made Emily snap a quick picture of this. I'm hoping to blow it up huge. :)

Thankful for loving Grandparents & Great Grandparents. My babies are SO loved!

So thankful for these two. I feel so blessed to have them live so close and play such an important role in my childrens life. My mom is so great to stop and pick Sienna up after school. My poor father gets stuck with her on quite a few Fridays now that he has that day off. I rope that man into so much and he never complains!

Zoo

The baby Elephant was my favorite!

The Giraffe was eating the leaves out of this little boys hands. I kind of freaked out and would not let Sienna do it... I think this might have something to do with the fact that both her father & I are missing fingers... I just didn't want her to join this particular club yet!

We decided to take advantage of one of the last nice days of the year... We hit the zoo last week on the perfect 70 degree day... The only problem, I'm pretty sure the whole state of Utah had the same idea... It was packed! The new baby animals were so dang cute and Sienna had so much fun riding the carousel and train!

Look @ my Belly Mama

This is what happens when you are trying to entertain a 2 1/2 year old while waiting 2 hours for a doctors appointment.... You really have to get creative when you are stuck in a tiny room for that long. I love that it looks like her belly button is sticking out. She just kept saying "look mama, my belly looks like yours"

Halloween

Halloween was so fun this year. I loved that it was on Saturday so we had all day to play. We started the day carving pumpkins and decorating cookies and then went trick-or-treating. We ended up at Granny & Grandpa Jack's house. I'm pretty sure Sienna had more fun opening the door and handing out candy to all the other kids, instead of getting the candy herself.

She has waited and waited to wear her tinkerbell costume. She looked so stinking cute, I can't even believe how big she looks. Her favorite part was wearing the sparkly lip gloss. She was eating dinner later in the evening after all the festivities were over. She has been OBSESSED with Snow White lately. While eating she looked up at her daddy and said "daddy, you're my Prince Charming..." I swear, melt my heart. It was the cutest thing ever. Now we fight over who's Prince Charming he is. She get's so jealous when Steve and I show any affection to each other. I have told her time and time again that daddy was my Prince Charming first, that's the only reason she exists! :)

I love these pictures... Man she loves Grandpa Jack, and I feel so blessed to have such amazing men in her life. She is lucky to have two AMAZING Grandpa's and one AMAZING Great Grandpa.

Mee-Mah, Sienna & Grandpa Seth!

Spooktakular Dance Recital

Sienna had her first dance recital at the end of October... I'm not going to lie, it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I'm afraid that the picture above will be one of those pictures we put in the Senior year class video... They are all so dang cute!

I love the death grip Emma has on Sienna.

Cousins... Alyssa is starting dance in January. It will be so cute to have them all together. She wasn't to happy to sit in the crown watching her cousins up on the stage.
