4th of July

My mom's birthday was the 3rd so we had dinner at our house. This is a cute picture of Sienna and my Papa. He was left to entertain her for a few minutes. She was trying to put his hat on.

On Saturday, I put this clip in Sienna's hair just to see how it looked and to take a picture. It was barely hanging on by one little hair. It looked so cute though. I can't wait till I can put bows in her hair. She always pulls her headbands off now.

Garrett went golfing early Saturday morning like he usually does. I got woke up early by the fire trucks and sirens like I usually do. I really just don't know why that has to be a tradition. I hate it! The first year we lived here I just thought there must be a really bad accident or something. Then Garrett told me they do that every year. Last year it really irritated me because I was already overdue with Sienna and I wanted to get all the sleep I could. At least this year it didn't wake up Sienna. I just don't get it. It's so annoying! Anyways, we had a cookout with my family at my parents house Saturday night. Dooney had a 4th of July shirt on and he wasn't very happy about it.

Sienna got to try out her birthday present a little early. She got a swingset at my parents house. We watched the fireworks from my parents backyard. They have a good view. Sienna liked them but fell asleep before they were over because she had only had one nap that day. We had a good day...except for being woken up by the sirens.

I have to add the picture of Sienna before church Sunday because she looked so cute! She didn't really like the dress though because she couldn't crawl in it.

Chicken

This is the 15lbs of chicken I canned the other day. It took me ALL day long. Garrett got home around 3 so he took care of Sienna while I did everything. It was only my second time canning by myself. I'm not that good at it yet. It's nice to have once it's done but it is a long process.

Mess

Sienna was eating mandarin oranges. She loves them but they're pretty messy and sticky. She decided to rub them all over her head. She also threw a bunch of them on the floor, which is what she does with all of her food. Whenever she is full she just plays with her food and drops it on the floor.

She was so sticky and gross, she went straight to the bath.

11 Months

Sienna is 11 months old. She still only has 2 teeth. She loves to dance. She dances to anything that has a beat. I think her favorite is Black Eyed Peas. She also dances in her car seat. She loves to be outside. Her favorite is to play in the rocks. She will stay outside forever if we let her and she never wants to come back inside. She hasn't tried to walk yet but she stands up anywhere. I think she could take a step if she wanted to but she's not really interested yet. Her new thing is waving to EVERYONE. She's been waving for a while now but now when we go to the store she loves to wave to everyone we walk by. She sees someone and gets all excited and starts waving and smiling, trying to get their attention. Usually she does. The old people really like it. They talk to her and she just shows off, smiling and talking. So far she really doesn't have stranger anxiety. She's a funny kid. Me and Garrett were saying the other day, I think when we have another kid we're going to be disappointed because Sienna is so cute, sweet, funny, and naughty all at the same time. We don't know if there can be another one like her. That's probably stupid to say, but we were both thinking it. She's the best.

Golfing

Last week me, Garrett, Sienna, and Garrett's dad went golfing. We went around 3 so they were only going to play 9 holes but ended up playing 18. It was okay though because Sienna really liked it. She likes riding in the golf cart and being outside so she was really good. We mostly just stayed in the golf cart. The weather was nice and we had a lot of fun.



My little golfer girl.

So cute. She didn't leave the hat on very good.

Me and Sienna looking beautiful in the wind.

Memorial Day Weekend

This was Sienna Saturday in her cute red, white and blue outfit that Grandma and Grandpa Moore got her. That day we hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Moore for a while, then came home when Garrett got off work and Jace, Erin, and Ellie came over for a little bit. Then Chad, LeMae, and Ecksen came over to visit. Then everyone went home and Garrett cooked some steak on the grill for us. Sunday we ate dinner at Garrett's parents house. Sienna tried out Grandpa Sparks' hammock for the first time. You can see a picture here: http://www.ronaldsparksfamily.blogspot.com/

This was Monday. Chad, LeMae, Ecksen, Jace, Erin, and Ellie came over again and we barbequed some burgers. The weather was so nice all weekend so we spent a lot of time outside and the kids got to play on our grass. We are loving having grass this summer. Sienna really liked Ecksen. She just wanted to take his pacifier out every time he had it. She wouldn't try to suck on it, she just wanted it out of his mouth. We were trying to get a picture of the kids together but Ellie wanted to crawl over and play with the rocks instead so that is why this picture is just Sienna and Ecksen. Ellie was loving the rocks.

This is us trying to get a picture of the guys and the kids. Ellie and Sienna took off.

This is the best picture I got of them. These guys grew up together so it's fun having babies that were all born the same year. They have really cool wives too so we all have fun when we get together. We had a fun Memorial Day weekend. I always have a 3 day weekend but it was fun to have Garrett off for 2 1/2 days.

D-Backs Game

Last weekend we went to the D-backs game. We had front row seats. Garrett got the tickets from his boss. The D-backs are not doing too good this year but we figured since it was front row seats it would be fun anyway. The game was kinda boring but we still had fun. Sienna was better than we thought she would be. She was so good the whole time. She was clapping and yelling, entertaining everyone around us, and trying to play with the kids sitting by us. When the game was over one of the Dback coaches was walking by and he gave Sienna a baseball. So overall she had a good first Dback game. We had a really fun weekend. We did some shopping, ate at Olive Garden, and stayed at Garrett's parents condo.

She also turned 10 months old that day. She's crawling really good now, pulling up on everything, she gets our cell phones and pretends she talking on them. She has the funniest personality.

These pictures are a little blurry because she was moving. In this one I was tickling her to get her to smile.

She gives kisses all the time now. It's so sweet. I had to show this picture because it's the only one we have of her giving kisses. She just grabs my face and gives me long slobbery kisses. I love it. She did it a few times during the game. Tonight her mouth was hurting her I think and I thought she was giving me a kiss and she bit down hard on my cheek. That was not so sweet. Hopefully she doesn't do that again.
