Computer Illiterates

Apparently lot of the people that I made the blog for aren't the most computer savvy so my blog is no longer private.

Waiting for Nana

Andrea is coming to play today and we are all so excited. We cannot wait to see Nana!

.

Pictures from playing outside yesterday. You can see Sadie's teeth in the third picture. Don't ask what Joci and Sienna were doing. I have no idea why they enjoy laying on my neighbors' driveway.

This is a picture of Sienna at dinner with Papa a few weeks ago. He ordered a corn on the cob and Sienna eyed it until he caved and gave it to her. She sucked that thing dry. Thanks again Papa for being so fun and spoiling the girls (and us).

Sienna and Joci

We've been home bodies this week again. Mostly because we've had a lot to do around the house. Yesterday Joci came over to play while Tricia went to the dentist. Sienna and Joci are hilarious together and they are always super exhausted by the end of their play time which makes for great afternoon naps.
.

I used the cuddlebag to block the girls out of the kitchen so I could deep clean it.

Sienna and Joci curl up on the floor and beg for covers. They do this multiple times a day.

"Elmo, say cheese!"
.

I love Sienna in green. This is one of my new favorite outfits.
.

Sienna loved having everything cleared out of the kitchen so she could dance around..

More crazy facial expressions.

Valentine Dresses

This morning I got the girls dressed in their new Valentine dresses from my mom. When I came out from getting myself ready I noticed that Matt had put on a red tie. I decided it would be fun to be all matchy-matchy and so I dug out a red shirt. I had my friend Tricia from down the street come over and take a couple family pictures for us. Thanks Tricia!! I can't turn down an opportunity for a family picture. After church Bryan and Allie came over to eat the most delicious tacos with us and the Sisters. The sisters and I went out while everyone else watched the Super Bowl which did not end as hoped.

.

Thanks Grandma for the adorable dresses and shoes.

Sienna trying to eat my leg.
.

Sadie is such a happy baby and brings me such joy.
.

Sienna was crawling away from Sadie because Sadie was after her book.
.

Always smiling.
.

Sienna was exhausted from the day and fell asleep during dinner.
.

She was so tired that she couldn't even stay awake to wash her hands. She briefly opened her eyes but quickly fell back to sleep.

Sienna and Allie spinning in the backyard.

Davin and Brooklyn came over to play earlier this week. Davin kept giving Sienna hugs and kisses. It was really sweet.

Sienna and her tutu. I love this facial expression. My current favorite thing that Sienna says is, "waiting nicely" when we ask her what being patient means.

Stuck at Home

The past couple days have been horrible outside. We had an ice storm yesterday and early this morning so the girls and I have stayed inside for the most part. Matt went to the airport last night to head to Utah for work. His flight was supposed to leave at 9:30. He called me at about 12:30 this morning letting me know that after sitting on the plane for a few hours his flight was canceled. The roads were so bad that he didn't want to drive home so he went with his co-worker Logan to his house that is closer to the airport. Their flight was rescheduled for 7:30 but I talked to him at 8:30 and he was still sitting on the plane waiting to take off. The BYU career fair has already started. I am hoping that they get there in time to do some recruiting so this wasn't all a complete waste of time that Matt could have been working towards his monthly goal. I am just grateful that he is safe and avoided all of the accidents last night.

.

Sadie has moved up to the booster seat and loves it. Sienna and Sadie just laugh at each other the whole time while sitting down to eat.

.

Sienna gets to sit at the big table now.

.

Sadie has been crawling a little bit here and there for over a month but this morning she just took off. It still catches me off guard when I see her take off towards something.

Tricia and Joci have also been stuck at home due to the weather but luckily they only live a few houses down the street. Sienna and Joci were celebrating after not being able to see each other yesterday.

Mavericks Cake

Yesterday was our good friend Brandon's birthday. Sienna and I were so excited to make him a cake. He is a huge Mavericks fan so we made him a cake that resembles their logo. I was satisfied with how the cake turned out and Brandon seemed to love it. A lot of people have a hard time telling what it is but I am happy because I have zero artistic ability when it comes to drawing.
.

This cake looks better from a distance or when looking at it from an angle.

Here is a picture of the logo that I tried to copy.
.
I really like the blue I made. It was a fun cake to experiment with and try new techniques.

Sienna's new hairdo for church - 2 little piggies in the back.
.
Sienna had lunch with her good buddy Joci today. I love their facial expressions here. Yes, Sienna is just eating the ketchup with her finger. I promise Sadie was with us all day too and she looks so adorable today. I need to take more pictures of that girl!

Some Fun Conversations with Sienna from Yesterday and Today

Me on the way home from church: "Sienna, can you sing the snowman song for the Sisters?"
Sienna: "Maybe later"
.
Sienna as she set her puppy in the corner:
"Puppy, sit in the corner"
"Puppy, SIT DOWN"
"You're in timeout"
"Puppy, don't move"
"Sit down for 1 minute!"
(Do I really sound like this?)
Sienna getting the puppy out of the corner: "I love you puppy"
.
Sienna couldn't find her blankets this morning and ran into her room where I was and said, "Mommy, may I please have my blankets back?"

Sienna on the way to deliver the cake this morning: "Daddy, be nice to Sienna!" (Matt was NOT in the car with us)
Me: "Sienna, daddy is nice to Sienna."

Sienna: "Daddy's nice to Sienna?"
Me: "Yes, Daddy is very nice to Sienna."
Sienna: "Daddy hold Sienna?"
Me: "Yes, Daddy loves to hold Sienna."
Sienna: "Daddy loves Sienna, Daddy no hold Sadie anymore?" I couldn't help but laugh.
..
Sienna after Matt walked us out to the van: "I love my daddy SO much!" I wish Matt would have heard that.
.
Sienna when she is upset with me: "Mommy, Stop it! Don't do that." Even though it is sassy and I don't really appreciate that, it usually makes me smile because of her cute little voice.
.
Sienna has been so sweet lately. She speaks clearer and in more detail every day. She always makes me smile with the silly things she says. Today on the way into work she was quizzing me on what different animals say. One of my favorites is when she talks to a bird because she is always very concerned when she sees a bird sitting on a tree or something and says, "oh no, birdie fall down."

Best of Buds

Sienna is Papa's shadow. She eats breakfast with him in the morning, makes him read to her, makes him sing for her and is constantly running around the house looking for him. Yesterday was 80 degrees and gorgeous so Dan and I took the girls to the park and then played tennis.

.

Swings are still Sienna's favorite thing to do at the park..

I love that Sadie can swing with Sienna now and she loves it too.

She started doing this new thing with her tongue where she curls it up. It is so cute.

This is the face Sienna made when I told her not to smile. She is the queen of funny facial expressions. She loves to open her mouth wide open and close her eyes as tight as she can at the same time.
.

This wasn't the easiest slide for papa to go down but he did it anyway because Sienna asked him to.
.

We tried to get Sienna to go down by herself but she turned to Dan and said, "Papa, hold Sienna" and papa does anything Sienna wants.

Best of buds.

Sadie wanted a turn too but she is brave enough to go by herself.

Papa and his girls. Sienna is doing one of her facial expressions where she closes her eyes super tight.
