Sienna's 2!

*Lots of pictures*

Sienna turned two on Friday, July 9th. Garrett was off so he got to spend the day with us. We started her birthday off with blueberry muffins (her favorite).

Around lunchtime we went to the ice cream shop on main street to have ice cream with Lyndsey.


I brought home her cake later that afternoon and she loved it. She said, "thank you momma, soo much. Soo sweet." I'm not kidding, she's the sweetest kid ever. All she wanted to do is look at her cake and she asked if she could lick it. She couldn't wait to eat it.

This is her being silly before we left for her party.

It was so humid all day.

So we planned to have the party at the park. My mom had a lady bring a bouncy castle and it would've been really fun but it looked like a storm was going to come in and the lady was a little wary about putting it up. She started putting it up anyways and right when she got the thing up a big gust of wind came through and she kind of freaked out and took it down. So we were afraid it was going to be bad weather so my in-laws were nice enough to let us all crash their house and have the party there.



It turned out to be lots of fun for her.

She loves the Dora, Boots, and Diego characters that came on her cake. She was dipping them in her cake and ice cream and licking them off. I washed them and she's been taking them everywhere we go.

She got lots of presents.

The weather turned out to be nice but it was still a fun party even though we couldn't have the bouncy house. I can't believe two years has gone by since I had her. She's the best kid. She's super sweet. Of course she still has her two year old moments too though. She likes to take care of everyone and loves babies. She's been talking really well this whole year. She communicates like she's much older and she remembers everything. She's known her colors for about 6 months now and she can count to 12. She likes to sing songs like popcorn popping, sunbeam and twinkle twinkle little star. We love her so much!

3rd of July

The 3rd of July is my mom's birthday so we went out to eat with the family then went back to my parents house to have cake. Sienna and Bryden really like each other and I think they'll be best buds soon. They're a year and three days apart in age. Sienna loves to take care of Bry but soon it's going to seem like they're the same age. Me, Garrett, and Sienna and Shelby and Bryden were outside at my parents before the fireworks started doing sparklers. We thought the kids might like them but they weren't too impressed.

Garrett always has fun doing his own fireworks. I'm always afraid that he's going to get hurt or light something on fire.

We had fun with my Papa and his wife Linda who were in town. They live in Utah and we don't get to see them much. My papa was dancing around with a sparkler to entertain Sienna. She thinks he's hilarious. We all do. He also did a roman candle thing that Garrett gave him. But it wasn't a normal type of roman candle. It was shooting out these big blasts of firecrackers and it shocked us all. He was just sitting in his chair shooting them then he thought they were done so he turned to look at us and the roman candle was pointing towards my parents wall and another one came out and shot right at the wall. I was a little scared the whole time but we were all laughing so hard and Sienna thought it was awesome. She told him to do it again.

Then the fireworks started and Sienna liked them but only sat and watched them for a few minutes. After that she just wanted to go up and down the slide.

This is her saying cheese!

Sliding down.

And back up again. It was a little different having the fireworks and celebration on the 3rd of July but not too much. Yesterday on the 4th we had pie at Garrett's parents house and sang happy birthday to the USA. Sienna's all about the birthdays now and says happy birthday to everyone. She's going to have so much fun on her birthday I hope. It's coming up soon!

Sesame Street Live!

About a week ago my parents and I took Sienna to see Sesame Street Live! She loves Elmo and she loved the show. At first only Big Bird came out and Sienna was saying, "Elmo, where are you?" At first she was waving to all of them. The whole time she was clapping and dancing and she was just hooked on it. She was really good.

My camera battery died during the intermission but at the end I think all of the kids were getting kind of restless and they all started standing the isles and Sienna was out there dancing and jumping around and hugging kids. I didn't get any pictures of it though. She still talks about when she saw Elmo dancing. She's so lucky she has grandparents that will take her to do fun things.
