Picture Day...Wish Mommy had Remembered it..

Last week, daycare had picture day. I had warning like a week prior but if you know me and my life - if it WASN'T on my calendar...(which it wasn't) I would have dressed her better. Just focus on the face :-)

I wonder how long it took them to make her sit like that....maybe they bribed her with candy... ;-)

I really just want to eat her up on this one. Someone stop me please!! Yesterday after

bathtime, I chased her around until I bit her cute little butt! I can't help myself sometimes!

20 shots to just get on good one...I wish I had the proofs to giggle at!

Please acknowledge that in THIS picture - she does match :-)

Mommy and Sienna bundled up!

Poor Baby, breaks my heart!

Color, Color, Smile

She's been progressing with her ability to hold a marker and nightmares of my hardwood floors having marker on them have already started to appear....lol

The Joy of a Chocolate Ice Cream

Sienna had a little too much fun playing with her chocolate ice cream. You should have seen the high chair and the floor...even Sadie had some ice cream on her! LOL

Are you comfortable?

Watching her favorite DVD!

Morning Time Smiles!

Please enjoy with your coffee this morning..and smile!

Sienna's Daycare Thanksgiving!

Sienna had her first Thanksgiving at daycare....which consisted of turkey and mashed potatoes. I think that somehow that's what they thought a thanksgiving really was...but oh honey just wait! LOL Anyway, Carlos and I left work and as we walked in the room - she was all jumping up and down so happy!!! I believe that it made both of our days! Here is a few pictures! Enjoy and please excuse the food on the face! :-)

Lake Charles Trip!

Sienna and I packed up our bags and did a surprise visit to Moss Bluff to see family! Mom didn't know that we were coming and we crashed her party! Here are some pictures from our visit!

Fall Traditions

November 1st is a tradition of putting up the "Thanksgiving Tree". Everyone thinks that I'm crazy and I'll take their insane glances but you know what - there aren't enough days in the year that we get to have a tree in the house that puts us in the holiday mood! So, from November 1st - January 2nd - we have the tree watching over us at night and keeping us smiling during the day.

Whenever we have company, we have leaves that were cut out by my mother-in-law, that everyone writes their name, date and what they are thankful for. Once they are done, I place them up on the tree.

Just a reminder of how blessed we are!

Our Little Bubble Bee!

Sienna had her 1st interactive Halloween. Since last year she was my little pumpkin - this year she was running all over the place with her wings flapping in the wind! She went to 5 houses and ran away from 3.

This is her the day before at Daycare where all the kids dressed up. As you can tell,

she can't go anywhere without her sidekick "bear bear"

Here Sienna and Katelyn sit in the grass after a long 5 house Halloween. Great photo-op

Fall Decor 2009!

For those that know me, they know that after the 1st day of fall and the 1st cold front comes in - I'm already digging in my seasonal decorations. Eyeing the areas of our house that will display the fall colors, I start trying to get Carlos ready for the change of atmosphere that will take place.

It's really, truly sad on how excited I get about Fall. Besides my favorite color being red, I can't barely wait to see orange, red, yellow and brown in my house. I have little pumpkins, squash and pine cones everywhere and 3 very large pumpkins that come to life and move around....this might just be Sienna. LOL

November 1st is the day our "Thanksgiving Tree" goes up. Until then...

Much Love,

Melody

Children Courtyard's Fall Festival 2009

Thursday, October 22nd - Sienna had her first fall festival at her daycare. Everyone came together for a wonderful night full of fun and games for the kids. Hot dogs, popcorn, candy, cupcakes and more were there to fill our tummy's! Due to this - she didn't go to bed till 9pm! I can't wait until Halloween so we can dress her up!

Waterloo Playtime

I need more Balloons!

So, apparently Sienna will throw a tantrum whenever she doesn't get more

than 1 balloon...this was only the beginning.

1st Bath time with Best Friend Katelyn

So, I really have no idea why women, babies, cameras and bath time is just full of giggles and grins! Katelyn (Brian and Tasha's baby girl who is now 1 year old) and Sienna were with daddy's for the evening watching football. Which was the first time for Carlos to have both girls for a little while until Brian came!

Tasha and I came back from shopping and it was time for bath time!

Tasha and I were on each side of the doors of the bathtub as we washed, splashed and laughed! I'm so glad that the girls are at the age where they are able to play together! Many more years and pictures to come!

Baking With Mommy!

Sunday morning, I had the desire to make homemade pancakes...not Bisquick ones..no - the ones with the flour, eggs, milk....BUTTER! Scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and fresh orange juice! A wonderful little menu for a Sunday morning with my favorite people!!

I had a little helper on my hands this morning. She kept crawl up my legs trying to see what I was doing! So, I just pulled her up on the counter and with Daddy's help, we were able to watch her stir by herself.

She would get mad too if you tried to pull the bowl away from her! Looks like I might have a little baker!
