The Pictures

Sierra's 2 year Pictures

I have been trying to get Sierra's 2 year pictures taken for almost a month. Every time I think about making an appointment, make an appointment or talk about making an appointment Sierra get a bruise, scrap, scratch, or some other horrible mark on her face/arms/legs. So last night I noticed that she looked great and it was bath night, so I booked an appointment at Sears, online, for 10 am this morning and didn't say a word to anyone about it. This morning we woke up and she was in a great mood, no bruise/scratch magically appeared overnight and her hair was super curly!!! So we took the boys to school and went to Sears, waited in the parking lot until they opened and went it. So far so good, right???? We get there and they don't have our appointment and they already have an appointment for 10 am for three little cousins, only one of the kids was there. And I only have Sierra, she is dressed, hair is done and she is ready to get her pictures taken. So I ask "While you are waiting on the other two kids, can you do Sierra?" I was told "NO, sorry. But as soon as I am done with them I can take her pictures." So we went over to the girls clothes and found the cutest dress ever, so I bought it for her pictures. We then sat in the waiting area and read books for the next 45 minutes!! Finally at 11:15am she is ready for Sierra, but Sierra is DONE!!! But we finally got Sierra excited again and I think we got some really great pictures. Now that we are done it is time to leave to get Alex from school. So I have to go back this afternoon to review/pick out the pictures. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

Fun with Sydney

All three of the kids love Sydney. She is Ted's best friend, Alex's best friend (and his first crush) and Sierra's big sister (aka Her Idol). And Brad and I love Sydney too; she is sweet, polite, good to all of the kids, and our "adopted" daughter.

Fun Saturday

I think someone is trying to be like her big brothers....

Or maybe she will be a girly girl...

All the neighborhood kids playing...I love where we live.

Theses are all pictures taken by Ted, Alex and Sydney...

Finally Feeling Better

Sierra has not been feeling well lately. Today she was feeling better and actually eating and drinking again. But still not up for running around. So she spent most of the day in the corner of the couch. She told me "Sierra's seat!!"

Daddy Time

Cuddling with Daddy, a mid-morning snack, and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cartoon; it just doesn't get better than that!
