"wear my ladies!"


"I potty, wear my ladies!"
That is the statement I hear every day. "Ladies" is what Sienna calls her training underwear. She came back into my room today and had them pulled over her pants so I had to get a picture. Usually at least twice a day I find her with all her clothes pulled off trying to get her "ladies" on. Does this mean she is potty trained? Oh no.. she will sit on the toilet all day long saying "I potty mom!" but never actually goes. The other day she came to tell me "pee, carpet" and yes there was pee on my carpet from her! Oh well.. I guess you have to just enjoy the little funny things your kids do or you would go insane!

Pregnancy

So it is official.. I am reaching the point where I can't get up by myself if I am laying down and get out of breath doing the dumbest things. It doesn't help that my kid likes to go around emptying every drawer in the house, which requires me to bend over and pick it up all day long. I get done picking up one mess to look up to another. All those who have been pregnant know that is NOT the most comfortable thing. Anyways the point of my post- I have been getting these wierd leg spasms in my inner thighs. I will be walking and have a shooting pain in my inner thighs. It is almost like my legs cramp up almost knocking me over. It's like a charlie horse in my inner thigh and they are getting more and more frequent! Anyone get these? I never did with Sienna... All I know is they hurt and I just want to make sure it is normal.. so let me know! PLEASE! I have tried upping my banana intake for the potassium but it is not working! Thanks!

So far in December...

A new post...I have had a few bugging me so here you go!

Because I use this as my journal, excuse all my rambling! Read on if you wish! This month has been completely crazy! We have had something every weekend and even the weeks are crazy with Christmas parties, christmas shopping (soo fun!) etc..etc..!

The first weekend in December we went to our niece Bailey's baptism and our nephew Jaxson's blessing in Logandale. Here are some pics of the event! It was fun and so neat to see Bailey be baptized. Aaron lived with Kim and Jamon when we dated (they still lived here in Vegas) and we always would watch Bailey and Sierra and see them. It wasa fabulous parent training! =) Bailey was 3 and Sierra 18 months then..I can't believe how time is flown and now she is 8!
Here is the whole family! Trying to get a pic of everyone... impossible!

Next is a picture of all the girl cousins. I am SO glad Sienna has cousins on at least one side and she absolutely loves every second of playing with them! I grew up with so many cousins around my age, I can't imagine life without cousins!



Later in the week we went to the Magical Forest put on by Oppurtunity Village for family night! Sienna LOVED the lights but she was still too young to enjoy the rides and it was freezing! It was still fun to spend time as a family because we don't get to do that very often with Aaron's crazy schedule.


(And yes I know I am ginormous... the joy of pregnancy..)



The next weekend was bittersweet! My parents flew with Sienna up to Salt Lake for the weekend. I went up to Cedar City with all the young women and leaders. We went to the Nativity at Tuacahn on Friday, stayed at one of the leaders beautiful cabins, and went to the play "A Christmas Carol" in Cedar City. It was a lot of fun and I have so much fun with the girls and leaders! It truly made me miss being 16, but so glad I am not there anymore! They were all blasting their music on their IPODs, dancing, singing, checking out boys.. etc.. etc..! It was hilarious and made me
just laugh thinking back at my young women days!

My parents flew out Thursday morning and didn't get back until Sunday night! I about died without my baby, but it was sure nice too! Aaron has school most the day on Saturday and we left earlier in the afternoon on Friday, so my parents took her with them! I am so blessed to have parents who take my kid anytime, anywhere. I am not kidding when I say Sienna is best friends with her Papa and Grandma. Aaron is gone so much, it's nice to have them to turn to whenever I need a babysitter! I had a fabulous lunch with the girls, got all my gifts bought and mostly wrapped and best of all, I saw Amanda's precious twins! They are seriously the cutest little girls!!

Well that is all for now, but this weekend Aaron's family will all be in town for the NFR and so we will be having more fun times!

I am just dying at how fast time is flying and preparing for another kid! AAH! Being prego over the holidays is a littel crazy because the time goes so fast! We still don't have a name and nothing is really done yet. (Can you tell it's our 2nd..haha) After the New Year we will start getting ready! Ok well this is LONG enough! Thanks for reading! Hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday season! I sure am with my little toddler- I never knew Christmas could be so fun!

Thanksgiving Weekend



Well I am getting around to posting our Thanksgiving pictures! We had lots of fun hanging out with Aaron's family in Beaver! Sienna LOVES all of her cousins! She now knows all their names, so she likes to try and boss them around even though she is one of the youngest!=) This weekend also made me realize how hard having another baby around with a 2 year old is going to be. Sienna would not leave Jaxson alone (he is 2 months)! She constantly was having to kiss him and try to hold him while trying to take card of him when he cried. This is going to be interesting...

On Thursday night I headed to St. George with my sister-in-laws for Black Friday. I had never been before and man is it crazy!! We started at midnight with the outlets and stayed out ALL night. They had never done that one before but I think I almost was put into labor! I got so sick and was having "mini-contractions" or so the doctor told me at my appointment yesterday! Oops! I did get some fun stuff and I have so much fun with the girls in my family! It was lots of fun! Maybe next time I will go when I am not 7 1/2 months pregnant though or not skip out on a nights sleep! I have some die hard shoppers in my family and let's be honest- I fit right in! Thanks Aaron for watching our crazy!

We came home Saturday and set all of our Christmas up! I am sure glad to be done with that! Now I am constantly reminding Sienna we just lookand don't touch the tree. She likes to act like she's just looking and when I turn away, grab something off the tree and run. I don't even know why I bother! I thought she was bad last year at 10 months..yea right! I must admit she is so fun at this age! She loves all the lights and reminds me each morning to put them on when we go down for breakfast. It will only get funner from here on out with her! Well I have rambled on enough!

Cindy Lou Who


I love this picture! I think Sienna looks like Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch and I had to post it!

Weekend Fun

This last weekend was quite an eventful one! Aaron went to Phoenix with one of his best friends from high school so Sienna and I hung out with my family. (we do ALL the time anyways since Aaron is a BUSY boy!) On Friday we went to the lake. It was so nice out there! A little chilly when we got going, but fine when we were just floating. Sienna loved the boat and lake and woke up this morning telling Aaron "boat, lake, fun!" and laughing. Here is a pic of her out there in her "jacket" that she hated...wouldnt you??


On Saturday we went and stayed at my parents "Sienna house" in St. George. They built the house even before Sienna was born and the neighborhood is named Sienna Canyon which explains the name. My parents like to tell Sienna it is her house so when we got there she told me "Mom, House- Sienna's!" and would get all excited. I am not sure she gets it but it was still funny. My mom and I went to Tai Pan (loooved it!) and we went "cruisin" through Zion's National Park after my dad insisted. He is a little obsessed with nature and would have driven all day if we would have let him BUT little girls, pregnant ladies, and 16 year old Jeremy don't like to sit in cars for long periods of time!=)
We had a picnic and enjoyed the leaves! Sienna and I went to lunch with my sister in law Tiffany and her little girl Whitley. Sienna and Whitley are 7 months apart but still little pals and had a blast together. I also got some way cute cowboy fabric for a blanket for my little boy who is coming way way too soon!! AAH! I am starting to freak out a little (can you tell??) I am so scared to have 2 kids but I will adjust! Here are some pics in the leaves!

FINALLY!!!




Well it has come.. we can finaly put Sienna's hair in a tiny (and i do mean tiny) little half ponytail! She is almost 21 months and we are now getting to play dress up. haha.. This is an exciting day for a mom of a once bald baby! I think you truly have to have a bald baby to understand the significance of this wonderful day! I do love that Sienna does have quite a bit of hair in the back and it's so curly and cute! I love my little drama queen!
