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??

My Little Crazy Lady


How could you not love this little girl?? What makes for a more perfect day? Hanging out at the lake eating an Oreo... Life doesn't get much better than this. This picture just made me laugh because it is such a typical Sienna face. I never thought I could love someone so much. It's crazy how much she has changed even from just 12 months to now! I just looked over and Sienna was holding my camera up to her eye saying "Cheese!" like she was trying to take a picture. She cracks me up all day, every day. Well I hadnt posted for awhile and thought I would post something!

June Recap

So I decided to post a blog entry finally! June was such a crazy month! I went to Utah for 5 days with my mom, came home for a week, went to Girls Camp for 3 days (was surprisingly very fun!), came home for 3 days, and then went to Alaska for 9 days to get Jared! Alaska is gorgeous by the way and perfect summer weather! Then it was the 4th of July and Jared's homecoming which brought all sorts of people to town. Needless to say it has been crazy around here! I have been so happy to just chill out this week, especially being pregnant. I am always so exhausted and don't want to do a thing. My poor house. Sienna likes to empty every drawer and climb onto everything all while I just lay there. I gave up hope picking up when I would go to clean up one mess and she was onto another! How does anytone have more than one child? I really don't know how I am going to do it. It's been fun having Jared home though, Sienna loves "ja-ja" as she calls him. I do love my little girl more than anything even though she drives me crazy. She is growing up too fast. She's saying so many words and turning into such a toddler. I will post pictures later but I just wanted everyone to know I am still alive! Hanging in there in this horrible heat! Any ideas of things to do besides swim everyday to entertain a 17 month old??

Jared + Alaska= CRAZY




Now when you look at these pictures do you think,--oh that must be a missionary! NO! Well my brother Jared is on his mission in Anchorage, Alaska having the time of his life! Jared is the assistant to the President so he travels all over Alaska making sure the missions going well, and then gets to do cool stuff like this! Our family has never heard of missionaries being able to do the things he does! And can you handle the bear just right across from them? I swear he got a mission president who is Jared in 40 or so years!=) I am so proud of him. He has served an AMAZING mission and we get to go to Alaska in 1 1/2 weeks to pick him up!! We have missed him and can't wait to have him home! Sienna can't wait to meet her Uncle Jared!

FLORIDA MAY 2007!!


Well we are back! Our trip to Florida was so fun and Sienna LOVED every second with all her cousins! Some of the pictures aren't rotated and I couldn't figure it out so sorry about that! We went to Disney's Magical Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Sea World, and Epcot! It was a little overdose of amusement parks but still fun for the kiddies! We were supposed to go to the beach , but it decided to rain that day! Overall it was a fun trip and it was nice to spend time as a family with Aaron since he is gone so much! Oh yea ,by the way... im pregnant! I wasn't planning on telling anyone yet, but Aaron told some people and we had to tell his family due to the fact I found out right before we left for Florida so I couldnt go on some of the rides! They figured it out before too long! I am SO not ready for this yet but I guess the Lord thinks I am, so I will have faith! I think I am due Jan. 31st but will keep you posted when I know more! I am in too much denial to call a doctor. haha! Let the sickness begin....That's it for now!
