I can't believe that my baby boy is ONE...

This little man has really been such a joy to our family...

He is the most easy going, laid back kid I have ever met...

He literally makes me want 12 more...

Here are the 12 month accomplishments:

-You have 8 teeth - 4 on the top front, three on the bottom front and just last night your first back right molar broke through...

-You have the cutest laugh I have ever heard and you laugh the hardest at your sissy...

- You have turned into a huge daddys boy! This is not my favorite:(

- You are not walking all out yet but you walk whenever there is something to hold onto... You have taken a few steps but nothing really sticks...

-You have turned into a turbo crawler and can get places pretty quickly...

-The minute you hear me open the dishwasher you make a beeline for it...

-You love all food, no matter what it is, you eat it!

- You put EVERYTHING in you mouth

Steve was looking out the back window using his binoculars to look at the Turkeys on Sunday afternoon...

About 20 mintutes later Sienna had the binoculars and was looking out the back door... Pretty soon Steve heard her say "Dad, I see Santa and he has a dress up box and Rapunzel dress for me" In her most excited voice possible!!! So cute!!!

My favorite part about this picture and I am probably the only one who would notice it, but her boots are on the wrong feet... That's Sienna for you... I swear that girl can not get her boots on the right feet... It drives me CRAZY!!!

My little Nana... Oh how I love this little lady... When we decided that we would be doing the annual Christmas pictures down in Utah County I really wanted to get some pictures of the kids with Nana... Lets just say, that didn't turn out so well... As you can see by the picture above, she bawled the whole time. I don't know why she was so mad but she DID NOT want her picture taken. It makes me so sad because it was only two weeks after these pictures were taken that she passed away... That's Nana for you, stubborn until the very end... I just wish one of these pictures turned out... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Brookie and Siennas face in these, not sure why they are glaring at the camera, but it's still pretty funny!!!

Little man was having a hard time standing up so we asked Sienna to help hold him up... She decided that holding him up by his ears was the best way to go!!!

We took the annual Christmas Grandkid pictures back in October... Let me just say, every year gets more entertaining. This year we had little miss model Brooke, Porter who was ticked because he had a little dog on his shirt, Sienna who decided to puke halfway through the pictures, Seth who just didn't really care about any of it, and the Sav, who just goes with the flow and is so dang cute! We took the pictures down at my Grandparents house and they turned out really cute. It's just so funny trying to get that many kids to smile at the same time. I can just imagine what next year will be like adding Nickis baby Kaiya into the mix... I just have to say that my parents are pretty lucky grandparents for having such cute grandkids!!!

10 Month Milestones... (it's taken me 3 months to post this... I wanted to add a picture but never got around to it...)

You love horses and puppies. Whenever you see a puppy you say woof...

You stick EVERYTHING in your mouth...

At night when we get in the tub you pull yourself up and start yelling "da"

You wave to everyone you see...

You pull yourself up on everything and get the cutest look on your face when you do it...

You have turned into a really big mamas boy. If I am in the room, you pretty much just want me...

You eat everything...

Last week you got a hold of one of your sissies sippy cups full of chocolate milk and you were downing that stuff as fast as you could. When I started to come and take it from you, you started hyperventilating...

You get the biggest smile on your face when your sissy wakes up in the morning...

You have 6 teeth. Two on the bottom and four on the top and I think you're working on cutting a few more...

You are an okay sleeper but not as good as your sissy. You usually fall asleep and a half hour later wake up for a quick cuddle.

You still take two naps and when we are at the office you pretty much sleep the entire time we are there...

You LOVE your jumper and get some serious air in that thing...

Your first Halloween you were Dopey...

 Fall Roundup...

We took Sienna to the Circus... I'm pretty sure I liked it more then she did. My goal in life was to be the shamu flipper, but now I have changed my goals to be in the circus... It was amazing!!!

We spent a few nights out on the river. Sienna has discovered that she LOVES eating trout (I'm puking as I write this.) Now every time her daddy and Grandpa go fishing she asks them to bring on back for her to eat!

Seth is now 9 months old, I will have to do a seperate post about the stats from the 9 month check. I'm pretty sure they did the calculation wrong, they told me he was only in the 30% for weight!!! He is kind of crawling now... It's more like a wounded soldier crawl. He just kind of drags himself across the floor, but he's getting pretty fast...

Sienna is loving Pre-School. It kind of drives me crazy though because everytime I pick her up and ask her what she learned she tells me "not anything" Luckily I do hear her throughout the week reciting songs and months of the year and other stuff that I know I didn't teach her. 

Seth has been a little obsessed with all things animals lately. He LOVES the cows, dogs, and especially horses. We decided to let him ride colie with his sissy and he loved it. Now when you ask where any of the animals are, he points with his little finder showing us where they are. Luckily for him, we have an entire field of cows and his favorite horse in Grandpas neighboring field.

We've hit quite a few football games. My kiddos have been wearing a lot more red around our house. I'm pretty sure they're all seeing the light and switching their loyalties to Red!!!

Sienna is so excited for Aunt Nicki to have her baby girl. Everytime she talks to Nicki she asks if the baby is done cooking yet. I'm pretty sure she's more excited for Nicki's baby then she was for her own brother. We also found out that Aunt Ruby is having a baby as well and she is convinced that I have another baby in my belly and is telling everyone who will listen that I am having a baby girl... Let's just make it clear to anyone she has told this too... I am not Pregnant!!!

On our way home from Pre-School Seth got a hold of his sisters cinamon roll... I wondered why he was so quiet in the back seat. When we got home I realized why he was so quiet... He had frosting EVERYWHERE!!!

Tonight we asked Sienna what daddy did at work...
She Replied
"Checks peoples eyes..."
I then proceeded to ask her what mommy did at work...
She said,
"Calls people"
Apparently I talk on the phone too much!

Summer Roundup...

- Sienna spent the good part of her summer dressing her little brother up in all sorts of outfits. I would often leave the room and return to find him in bows, feathers, wings, tutus and princess dresses... 

- Every Thursday we would meet Grandpa & daddy at the farmers market in Heber. Sienna would usually get her face painted and baby Seth would try to eat as much stuff as we would possible give him... I have learned that this kid is going to be a HUGE eater... 

-We went hunting a few times and camped out one night with Paul, Ruby, Alyssa, Cam, Mike, Camille, Brayden & Blake... Seth loved riding in the ranger looking for Deer and Elk and Sienna like getting really dirty with the boys... One thing that was new to our house was playing pirates... Up until this point we have only played princess...

- I was talking to Sienna and asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween... She informed me that she wanted to be Ariel and wanted little man to be Prince Eric "so he could fall in love with her."

Aunt Nicki announced that she was expecting a baby the night of the big twilight premier... She later found out that she was having a girl. When I told Sienna that Aunt Nicki was having a baby girl she told me that we could give little man to Nicki and keep her baby girl... She really wants a sister!

- I decided to become domestic and bottled tomatoes. Grandma Barb taught us how to do it and we are now the proud owner of 78 bottles of tomatoes. I was really proud of what we accomplished and can't wait to bust the first one open in a few weeks. There's a huge sense of accomplishment knowing I did something to support the fam during the winter months... And if all else fails we can live off the bottled tomatoes...

- We are looking forward to football season. I was nice enough to buy Utes & Cougar clothing to show our support... BUT I refuse to actually dress the kids in the cougar outfits. The only way they will wear them is if they're daddy gets them ready! 

- Sienna started Pre-School and she is having so much fun. It's nice to send her off to spend time with kids her own age. She is learning so much and having so much fun. She also started dance class and loves to tap and sing. It should be a fun winter having her run all over the house in her tap shoes~

It's already turned off pretty cold up here in Summit County... My peas froze, and I'm really mad that it got so cold one night it actually froze our green house...  Hopefully next year we will FINALLY get tomatoes out of that stupid green house!
