DEER HUNT!!

Every October Aaron's family goes to stay at their cabin for the Annual Deer Hunt! So this weekend, off we went! We had fun hanging out with the family and Sienna had a blast with some of her cousins! I learned to crochet around the edges of a baby blanket! (I felt soo crafty..) Two of my sister in laws are pregnant and were all due around the same time so we had fun making blankets for our babies. Thanks Kristen for the little boy hand me downs- they are much appreciated! =)

The DEER... sick if you ask me!!


Sienna LOVES her cousins! She would wake up saying "toys, kids!!" and jump out of bed to play.

Sienna and Whitley love to go on rides with "Papa Bruce" on his wheelchair.

YO GABBA GABBA!

So, my child is crazy, and has never been one to sit and just watch any tv show. We have tried Baby Einstein and all sorts of shows but all Sienna wants to do is constantly be moving around getting into EVERYTHING! Until we found Yo Gabba Gabba! She will sit and watch it over and over and over. She LOVES it. When she's calmed down a little she will get the remote and point to the tv saying Gabba Gabba. When we go visit Katie she always grabs the remote to put it on. She thinks it should be on everyone's tv because my mom has it on her Tivo too.

So I have given up my sanity (watch the movie) for some quiet time where Sienna isn't nagging at me or getting into everything else like she does all the rest of the time. Aaron and I always are singing the songs and laughing because they get stuck in your head. BUT on the other hand it does teach your kids some good things. So I just had to show you what my life has become. Welcome to having a toddler I GUESS...

My Tired Girl

This afternoon Sienna refused to take a nap and I was exhausted. I sent her downstairs for Aaron to deal with her craziness. He put her in the highchair and this is what he found a few minutes later. I just love it... Sienna just goes and goes at all times until she crashes. She is getting so big and it makes me sad. Even though I will have another baby in no time, she is still my baby and she is starting to turn more into a little girl every day. I just thought I would post this picture because it cracked me up and was precious at the same time.

Watch what you say....

So Aaron just pointed out to me..
The dogs were barking and Sienna was yelling "shut up" at them and then saying NO NO NO!!! He asked me if I realized what she was saying. Oops...

She talks non-stop these days and it usually isnt a problem when she copies everything we say. I couldn't help but laugh. Hopefully she won't say it when someone says something she doesn't agree with! We still love her and I can't get mad because I taught her to say it!

On another note at lunch today she would take a bite of her lunch, chew it, and open her mouth to show us and start cracking up. After I gave her a dirty look she would say "ja ja" and laugh even harder taking another bite and doing it again. Thanks a lot Jared! You just wait until you have kids.....

Donut vs. Jogging

So on Saturday morning I left Sienna with Aaron to go clean my dad's office first thing in the morning. I was really craving a donut, and for once I didn't have Sienna with me to get her out of the carseat, load her in the store etc.. etc.. you know the drill! I was SO excited to just go in a store MYSELF!! I was debating whether I should get a donut due to the fatness of one but I caved. I just wasn't going to care for once! (ok maybe twice or three times since I haven't been so health conscious lately)BUT I haven't had a donut in-- I can't even tell you how long!
ANYWAYS- SO i am pulling out of the parking lot thinking of how yummy my donut is going to be, when this lady jogs by. She is probably mid thirties and not only is she jogging at a very high speed (with a killer body might I add..) but has a whole waistband thing on holding about 6 small water bottes around her waist. Are you kidding me? It made me actually feel guilty even thinking of my donut! I knew there was no working out in my free time today... Needless to say I only ate 1/2 my donut and settled for an apple to fill me up!
I just wanted to post this story because I know people out there can relate. Not everyone is like my husbands family who can eat anything they want and LOSE weight! (I wish I could be like that!) I just thought I would vent that sometimes I just need to not care so much and eat my donut and not even care! SO tonight i made Aaron go on a walk with me just around the neighborhood, but better than nothing right??=) Is it just me who feels guilty when I eat crappy things or is it others out there?? Especially when you are pregnant and know you will have to lose extra weight that wasn't there before! Uugh! I will just remember how precious newborns are and that they don't stay that way forever! It's worth it right??

IT'S A BOY!!

So some know, some don't. I have known awhile but havent posted! We are very excited, especially Aaron! All my sister in laws on Aarons side are pregnant and so far it's 2 boys and we find out what Tiffany's having on Friday! 4 new cousins all within a day or a couple months apart! Watch out!

I am trying to teach Sienna to say baby "brother." She is excited, but really has no idea. She just thinks everyone has a baby in their tummy including herself. She is obsessed with her baby doll and we have to give it baths, change it into her jammies every night and then dress her in the morning, feed her, and take her all over with us. This poor boy doesn't know what's coming at him... Sienna is going to be such a little mom. Well I thought I would finally post the news! I wanted to put the ultrasound up but our scanner is down so this will have to do!

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!
