Newport Beach August 2007

Here are some of the pictures from the beach this last week! Every year we go to Newport Beach, CA with my dad's side of the family for a few days. It was soo fun and I don't want to be home! Sienna loved every second of being in the sand, being mauled and entertained by her cousins every second, and going from person to person to get some food like we starve her or something. I enjoyed just sitting on the beach while everyone else played with my kid so I didn't have to chase her all the time and could relax a little. =) It was also nice to actually get to spend some time as a family since Aaron isn't around as much as we'd like. Overall it was great and we can't wait til next year when we go again!


Sienna has a small obsession with "chalky" aka chocolate to the rest of us. What can I say?

Sienna with two of her most favorite people in the world!

Our little family

The whole Callister Family

My family! I just love them!

Alaska... just a little late!

So here are some of the pictures from when we went to pick up Jared in Alaska! I know I am a little late but I had to get the pictures off of my mom's camera. I finally did that and posted them to my blog! It was so beautiful there! Pictures of the beach soon to follow!

2 posts in 1 day! Check me out!

So I was going through e-mails and found this picture of Sienna when she was just 1 day old! Newborns just grow way too fast!! I know all my posts are Sienna but let's be honest..who runs my life? I just thought this picture was precious and it makes me so excited to hold another newborn in a few months! The sleepless nights, crazy schedule and everything about a newborn are so exhausting at the time but before you know it, they aren't so little anymore! So I am trying to enjoy every moment I have with my little girl while it is just the three of us, even if it means my house is a wreck and she is a little on the spoiled side...Ok so that is my thought for the day! Anyone else with an insight to think about??
