Sienna's Birthday Party

We celebrated Sienna's birthday on Saturday and had all the family over plus some friends. Sienna loved her Dora birthday cake and couldn't stay out of it. She kept sticking her finger in it so I cut her a piece to eat before everyone got here. She really enjoyed her cake!
When we sang Happy Birthday to her she got all shy and embarrassed and covered her face. It was too cute. She loved opening up all her gifts and surprised everyone by knowing all the names of the princess's she received plus of course Dora.

My Baby is 2

It's hard to believe that my baby is already 2 years old today. It honestly just seems like yesterday when I took hold of my 8lbs 5oz baby and brought her to my chest. Sienna was such a beautiful baby. I can't imagine our family without her. She loved to just watch Collin & Jordon and took everything in. She has quite the personality and spunk to her. She loves to play with whatever Jordon is playing. She lights up when Collin comes home and she runs to hug him. I love you sweet girl and I'm so glad we have you!

What do we do without Daddy??!!

Bruce left Sunday afternoon to Houston for the week for some job training. He won't be back until Friday night. Well the thought going through my head was what the heck are we going to do all week to keep me from going nuts from constant fighting between the girls ... and me.
We have spent a lot of time outside since it's been 80 degrees here. We went to Target to get the girls a splash pool. Jordon loves it and Sienna is taking some time to get used to it. We planted flowers in the backyard, went on bikes rides, went to the park and this morning we went to Build-A-Bear. For the most part the girls have been really good and it hasn't been too bad. It nice that the weather is cooperating so that we can spend so much time outside and ware them out.

Coloring Easter Eggs

Sorry this post is a little old. On Easter Sunday we colored Easter Eggs while Sienna was napping. It was much better this way! Jordon, Collin & Bruce had a great time.

Feeling Sentimental

Easter Morn

The girls slept in till 9:30am and we actually went in to wake Sienna up. She was up half the night playing and giggling ... not sure who with but none the less at least it wasn't crying. We let Jordon pick out which basket she wanted and of course it was the princess one.

Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday Dad & Ellie did their traditional Easter Egg Hunt at their house. Ellie had hid a few eggs outside and did the rest downstairs since we didn't know whether the weather would cooperate or not. The cousins had a blast playing together and finding candy. Ellie had made some delicious cinnamon rolls for us to eat after wards.

Princess Teeth

On Thursday Jordon had her teeth fixed. We had to do it at the Hospital (St. Lukes downtown) because she is afraid of the drill. Well, most kids are. She had 2 giant cavities on both bottom molars. Bruce and I juggled the thought of doing this costly procedure. Insurance covers 80% of it and we thought we had better do it before our insurance runs out on the 15th. We are so glad we did.
I got up at 4:15am that morning to get ready because we had to be there by 6am to check in (it's about a 25 min drive). Woke up Jordon at 5am to get her ready. She was very excited about going to the hospital. We really worked it up as an exciting thing. Got to the hospital around 5:55am and got checked in. They took us back to post-op and monitored her blood pressure and temperature. Then they had her take some medicine to help relax her before they roller her back. She did awesome. They wheeled her back and put her to sleep and gave her an IV and cleaned her teeth, took x-rays, filled cavities and put 2 caps on the molars. Dr. Higer said that one of the cavities was really deep and was glad we had decided to do this because a couple months down the road she would have had a really bad toothache.
Once she was awake they brought me back. They monitored her for another hour to make sure she didn't have a reaction to the anesthesia. She had a Popsicle and some water. It was a great experience for all of us and glad we were able to get her teeth fixed. Here are some pictures of her 'Princess Teeth'. Sorry the pictures are a little blurry.

Art Time

While I was work earlier this week I gave Bruce an idea of something fun he could do with the girls. So they went outside and picked out some rocks and painted on them. The girls had a great time and I think Daddy did too!
