Past Few Weeks

ere are a few pictures from our ward party last night and then a bunch from our trip to Utah. The Scout fundraiser was awesome last night. They earned $3500 dollars in just a couple hours. They had a spaghetti dinner and an auction. I was embarrassed to make cookies for an auction because I didn't think that desserts would get much attention... I was wrong. They had some cakes and pies that went for over $60. My chocolate chip cookies sold for $35. It was crazy but we had so much fun. This was a great idea. Everything was donated for the dinner, then you had to pay to eat it, and there were tons of services and fun items auctioned off. I love our ward, they know how to have fun.

Sienna and Jacob at the dinner. He is so good with kids and Sienna loves him.

Sienna and Owen. They are about 2 weeks apart. They were both all over the place last night just having a great time.

Sienna had to go find Audrey too. They have been good little buddies lately. Sienna kept yelling, "aw-eee" - So cute!

Sienna with her beautiful aunts, Dana and Adri.

Stealing Adri's ice.

Do you think he has enough ribs? My mom even had an extra long platter for him.

Swimming in Moab. Sienna loved the pool but she was so tired that soon after getting in the water, she fell asleep on my shoulder. My camera died so we didn't get a picture of that.

Sienna going down a huge slide at Kangaroo Zoo. My niece Kate loved going down the slides and was fearless but Sienna wasn't as happy with us for making her go by herself. She didn't cry but she was making the funniest high pitched squealing noises.

My handsome little brother that just got back from Iraq and met up with us in Moab. I wish I had more pictures of Kirk and Mariette (a friend that went with us) but like I said, my batteries died.

Sienna with Kate and Ella in the background. All in matching PJs from grandma. We had a late Easter egg hunt with all the cousins.

Katie-Kate eating a war head.

Adri and Sienna.

Eating at Red Lobster.

Adri waiting for her prom date. Isn't she one of the most gorgeous girls of all time??? I can't believe she is graduating this month. Now she just needs to move to Texas for school and work at TWG. That way she can see her nieces all the time!! (I'm just trying to get Matt's mom to freak out... she isn't moving to Texas.)

Playing the piano for grandpa.

Yes, these pictures were super random. I am sad that I don't have more from Utah of Sienna with her people. She became very attached to both sets of grandparents and all of her cousins/aunts/uncles and all the pets too. Thanks everyone for a great trip. I wish we were coming back a lot sooner than we are. Hopefully, we'll see most of you when the new baby comes. Just over 2 months!!

It's about time you post some pictures. Just kidding. I'm glad you had a good weekend- We sure miss you. I wish you would have stayed longer. I hardly got to see you.

I would love to take you up on your offer but my parents are going to need me a lot this month. Besides, I am saving up to come visit you after you have your baby. I can't believe you are in the last trimester!!!

Brandon and Amber said...

I'm so sorry we missed each other when you were here! I was gone that whole day when you called and didn't get your message until you already left :( We'll have to catch up next time when your little baby girl gets here. Have you decided on a name yet?

So cute! Audrey sure loves Sienna! I am so happy they got to play that night! What a fun night that was! Thanks again for tonight! It was so fun to have a night out!!

So fun! It looks like you got to do a lot while you were up there - it made me wish I had gone with you. Lets hope I can do a lot while I am gone too. My sister-in-law, Sara, said they had the same fund raiser as your ward and they made tons of money too. What a great idea. They were lucky to get your cookies for $35 - yum yum.

Fun pictures. Sienna has grown so much. It seems like once they start walking they take off.

Valerie said...
