July Wrap Up

I can't believe that July is over... I'm not going to lie, I'm a little sad that it's come and gone and I'm not really sure where it went. Next week is Bear Lake and then the summer is OVER! I'm always so excited for Bear Lake and so sad when it's over! July has been really fun and busy. I just decided to do a Mass Post because I just found the cord to the camera and I didn't have time to split it up. We went to Parades, Auctions, had Camp fires, played with cousins, Unpacked the kitchen (yep, that's all we've got to) and had many dinners with Mee-mah & Grandpa. Actually since moving into the new house we have eaten dinner with them every night. It works out pretty great, we take turns cooking and sit on the back porch, enjoying the view and the company. I took Sienna to get her pictures taken today. She was a little grumpy but i'm hopeful that a few turned out good. That little stinker is getting so dang big! My sister sent me a few pictures that she took when Sienna was about 3 weeks old and I just can't believe how tiny she was. Where does the time go??? My baby girl is getting so sassy and so demanding. She is the best part of my day. She is learning so much and the child NEVER stops talking.

I Love Porter's face in this picture!

The Boys going Fishing

Poor Cody, every time the fishing is really good my dad calls Cody to get up here to go... Without fail, it's just not as good by the time Cody makes it up from Vegas!

We took Sienna to Seven Peaks. When we first walked into the park Sienna saw the wave pool and took of running yelling "The Pool The Pool" It was a NIGHTMARE trying to get her to actually put her swim suit on to go into the pool.

First time eating Dippin Dots

Kamas Parade

She really got into this parade

Waiting for the next float

At one point during the parade she decided to sit in the middle of the road to eat her candy!

This was the reaction when her daddy made her move

Slapping daddies Butt... (Wonder where she learned that???)

Love this picture... Chilling with Grandpa in the backyard!

4th Of July

So my favorite holiday has come and gone and I am always so sad when it's over! Things have been so crazy the last few weeks that all of us our beyond exhausted. We're finally moved into the new house. When I say moved in, we are basically living here but I am still at a loss of where all of our stuff is. Sienna is so confused on what is happening around her that she keeps taking Steve by the hand, leading him to the car saying "buh bye" It's very sad. I wonder what she's thinking in her little head. Everything about her life is in boxes, her toys are packed and I'm not sure which black garbage bag they are in... Very Sad... Tonight is our third night here and I'm hoping she sleeps through the night. Just when she got used to sleeping at my parent house, we moved her up here and started all over again. Here is a run down in pictures of our Fourth of July weekend.I'm pretty sure my grandparents spend more time watching Sienna then the actual fireworks.

Cody had a brilliant idea to throw a bunch of fireworks in the fire!!!

This was the boys great idea to start all the fireworks on fire at one time... My favorite part of this picture is that the "Eye Doctor" is the one leaning over the fireworks. He tells me every year how dangerous this is and how many eye injuries occur from this... Great example!

I love this picture... Notice Cody is holding lighter fluid that he sprayed all over the fireworks. He is seriously one of the smartest people I have ever met but in these moments I question his intelligence. (Love ya Cody:)

The Grand Finale

Teenie Weenie didn't make it to the end. She was exhausted.
This was taken after our first official ER visit. We thought she broke her leg on the trampoline. Poor thing was limping around and falling all over the place. Luckily nothing was broken and after a very traumatic X-Ray they sent us home. I don't even want to think how many ER visits we will face with this little girl. She is a MANIAC!!!

Nicki's Wedding

The Cute Bride. I have to say that Nicki looked absolutely STUNNING!

Kissing Cousins~Ryan would go to hug Sienna and she would just kiss him.

Sienna LOVES Ryan!

Savana & My Baby Girl

Pretty Girls

How cute are these kids? I LOVE how Sienna is just grinning at Haleigh. SO CUTE!!!

Porter decided to put the swim diapers on his head. These three kids had me laughing so hard. Porter thought this was great because with it on his head he didn't have to cover his mouth when he coughed.

I love this sweet boy!!! He provided the best entertainment of the day.
Thanks Lisa & Greg for the pictures.

Take A Vote...

With Permission from Nicki, (didn't want to piss anyone off, I seem to do that daily) I just wanted to send everyone to her blog to vote on her favorite bridal! Beautiful girl if I do say so myself...

Poor Horse

So, Sienna is NOT to fond of horses. I thought she would love it. My dad took her around the house 3 times and she screamed the entire time. I got her off and she would pet the horse but when I went to put her back on she held onto me for dear life screaming No Bye Bye... It was sad but she's got to get used to it, living on the ranch. She probably didn't like it because she wasn't in the proper attire. I will put her in her jeans and cute cowboy boots for her next ride and I am sure that will make a huge difference. And, if you look really close in the first picture you can get a glimpse of our new house. Very Exciting, even if I will be homeless for a week or two, it will be worth it in the end... The big move happens this weekend, two weeks sooner then we were expecting!!!I'm hoping that this next weekend when Sienna sees her cute cousins Porter, Savana & Brooklyn riding the horse, she will warm up to the idea...

What is going on with Google??? It took me 10 minutes to get into my account tonight. I had to reset the password, anyone else experiencing problems?

Countdown to my favorite holdiay

I just want to say that I am so excited that we are only 13 days away from my favorite holiday! I LOVE the 4th of July. I LOVE everything about it. Sienna has 9 outfits for the holiday. I just have a weakness for buying anything related to this holiday. We were hoping to be moved by the holiday but it's not looking very promising. The boys worked really hard today laying the wood floor but it's just so overwhelming how much needs to be done. Sienna has been such a little trooper. I feel so blessed to have this amazing child following me around daily. I wish she would stop telling me NO every time I ask her a question and it would really be nice if she she would stop throwing her head back whenever she doesn't get what she wants. I need to read a new parenting book. This child just has WAY to much spunk!

This is her new smile... I can't get her to stop showing the teeth!

One binky is just not enough!

Check out her new Molers...

This is the result of a long day of shopping at IKEA!
(Her daddy provided the nice kit-kat that is ALL over her face!

Happy Birthday & Fathers Day Steve-O

It was my little hubby's birthday today. We had a great party for him at my parent's house with great ribs, great company & great weather. Thank heavens it's starting to feel like June. We went to check out the new house and cleaned the upstairs to prepare it for new carpet. I can't believe we'll be moving in two weeks... AHHHHH!!! I also just wanted to say Happy Fathers day to Steve, my daddy & Grandpa Jack. Thanks for being such great dads. We're lucky to have you!

We almost started the house on fire because Steve's so OLD!!!

I knew she would LOVE ribs... This kid can down beef jerky like an adult, so she thought the ribs were great!

Playing with Play-dough.

Staci Junior...

Last night Steve looked at me and said that he honestly didn't see any of himself in Sienna. It freaks him out how much a like we are. It's crazy to see this little tiny person with such a huge personality and attitude. Her new favorite word is NO! And she says it with such force there's actually rage behind it. She wants to do everything herself and pretty much could care less if Steve and I are there or not. She has never been attached to me. She will go with anyone. At the office she honestly believes that the reason people come in, is to play with her. I am in so much trouble! I left her for the first time over night this past weekend. Steve took me to stay at the Stein Erickson lodge. It was amazing, but I missed Sienna so much. I called 5 times and asked Steve at least 20 times if we could just go pick her up. It was good for us, but I still can't believe how hard it was... We have been spending A LOT of time outside. It been a little cold but Sienna could care less what the weather is like. She just wants to be outside.

She is really into bugs. This particular picture is a potato bug. The problem is, after squatting down to watch them for about 5 minutes, she quickly tried to squish them with her feet. Morbid, I know!!!

She would just giggle when the potato bug went into a ball... She would look at her daddy and say, "Daddy, ball, ball..." She was so fascinated and then she tried to kick it.
