The Swaddle has been retired!!!

I never thought we would be able to get Sienna to sleep without the swaddle. I thought she would be 16 and I would be wrapping her up to go to bed. Over the past few weeks we have slowly removed the swaddle from our life... I am so proud that she is doing so well. She looks so big. We have a new bedtime routine. No more rocking we just put her in the crib, she cries for a few minutes then goes to sleep. I do have to go in and remove the blanket from her head. She has to have to over her head and it makes me so nervous so after 10 minutes I go check on her and remove the blanket. It's a big accomplishment to get over the swaddle... Next up, the Bink...

Mom's Graduation

My mom graduated from UVSC on Friday. She finished her teaching degree and already accepted a 5th grade position. Not only did she graduate, but she graduated with High Honors. We are all very proud of her and glad that the school part is over. After graduation we went to lunch at Mcgraths fish house. We hope Mee-Mah had a very special day!!! Congratulations!!!

Kiss for her biggest supporter

I Would Die For That...

I'm not going to lie... This made me cry a lot... I always have a hard time with people who complain about being pregnant, or treat pregnancy as a disease. It's amazing how many people want to be pregnant, or who have lost a child. It just changes you're perspective on things!

Messy Post

This is a messy post... I have pictures from a bunch of different things. I'm just trying to get them posted so the blog stalker doesn't stalk me down in the grocery store again and tell me what a slacker I am... Here's the short version of all the pictures. We went to St. George and had an amazing time. Colbie Calliat was amazing and we had fun hanging out at the pool and going to the park. Wish my sister could have been there but they bailed! When we got back from our trip all the snow had melted at the park so we have spent several hours at the park over the past 3 days. I have a feeling we'll be spending a lot of time over there. One night Sienna was so exhausted she fell asleep on Steve's leg... This is the child who still needs to be swaddled to go to sleep... It was a miracle she fell asleep like that... We've had big events happen in our house this week. Sienna can now say puppy, bampa, mee-mah, baby, hot, out, and more. She is amazing me at how much she is picking up. Steve and I are officially on our best behavior trying not to swear and cuss too much now that she is mimicking everything we say. I'm sure she will pick it up and she will go around saying shit all the time, but we'll see if we can be a little better at it... After all, I do live with a closet logger!

Favorite picture... She is being really generous with kisses lately.

Note to self... Don't put swim diapers on Sienna's head, she really hates it.

Tasha & Aaron's Wedding

Steve's niece Tasha got married two weeks ago... She looked amazing! We went to the luncheon at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and Sienna dragged Grandpa Jack all over the place. He even let Sienna play in his cup of water. When we got to the dinner we walked in to see her wedding colors were brown and pink... Sienna just happened to be wearing those colors so she fit in just perfectly. Congrats Tash & Aaron.

First Shiner

About a month ago Sienna got her first black eye. She was walking with her cup and tripped into the couch hitting herself with the cup... He was really sad and I had to take a few pictures. The last two pictures are from Tasha's wedding. She looked like such a little princess and love climbing the stair at the Joesph Smith Memorial building. This is the day I swear she broke my nose, she threw her head back while throwing a fit hitting me directly in the nose, I heard a crack and it still hurts today!!!

I've been a bit of a Blogging slacker lately... I actually have quite a bit to blog about, I just can't find the time. We had a great weekend in St. George and then came home to 4 inches of snow... I'm really serious this time, the snow HAS to stop!~~ I am going crazy! Being in St. George gave me the worst spring fever!!!

~Happy Easter~

I love Easter... I don't know what it is about it, I just love it. We had a great day today decorating Easter Eggs, going on a walk to the bridge. Also, after Sienna went to sleep, the Easter Bunny came. I have to say that the daddy easter bunny pulled together the ENTIRE basket... The mommy easter bunny had NOTHING to do with it... How cute is that??? When I saw the shoes he picked out it made my heart swell... He sure is a great Easter Bunny!

Of course she won't Sit in her stroller, she has to stand... Don't worry we quickly buckled her after the picture...

It has become a nightly tradition to walk to the bridge by our house. Sienna loves to go look at the "ishys"

My two favorite people!

Steve takes her down to the river to throw rocks in. She always tries to actually go swimming in the river... Maybe in the summer!

Easter bunny Sunglasses

She would stir the dye and then hurry and put it in her mouth thinking I wouldn't notice.

Tasting the egg

Look at that hand... She would reach her little hand in to pull out the egg. I am happy to say after taking her swimming the dye did come off!

She was completely worn out by the end of Easter Egg Dipping

The finished product... By the end of this little project we had 9 cracked eggs.

These are the little shoes that daddy easter bunny picked out.

Sienna's Easter Basket. This is way better the last years basket. Last year she got Mylicon and binkies.
