Happy Easter

Sienna's First Easter - Ten Months Old

Looking for Easter Eggs.

She found one.

Looking good in her bunny ears.

Picnic in the park

On Saturday S and I met our friends Leilani, A and B at the park for a picnic. S and A played happily on the blanket until S decided she wanted A's hat.

S reached and pulled A back on to her and then decided she really did not want the hat.

Luckily they made up a couple of minutes later.

We then tried to take some photos as they played on the swings and slide, but they had other ideas.


It was a beautiful day to be outside. It is days like this that make me happy to be living in Southern California.

Our new purchase

My good dependable old Corolla. This car was the very first car I ever purchased. It has been with me since I graduated BYU some ten years ago. I drove it down to California when I decided to up and move here nine years ago, and it has kept me save through all the crazy LA traffic. I love this car, but it was time for a change.

Last night Steve and I went to pick up our new Toyota 4Runner. A buddy from work was selling it for a very good price and Steve just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a more "Macho" looking car (even though I will be driving it most of the time).

We are lucky the guy that owned it was obsessive about keeping it clean and running good.

Sienna even liked the look of her new wheels. She is already begging her daddy to let her drive.

Sienna and I decided to pose for a picture in front of our new car. I think it's a good fit for us.

I'm not tired yet......

It is so fun cuddling up with Sienna when she is tired and she wants to go to sleep. Not so fun when it is nap time and she fights with you, pinches you and pulls your hair to try and avoid going to sleep.

We are getting her used to just reading a story and laying down in her crib. It usually ends up with her standing up and crying for a few minutes before she realizes Mom and Dad aren't coming to save her and she nods off.


Today she is still recovering from bronchitis and was being stubborn, but after five minutes I went in to check on her and she was out cold. I don't know how this is a comfortable position, but she didn't seem to mind. Kids are so cute.

Crazy Hair

Oh, Hello mom . . . is it time to get up yet?

Ok, I would love to get up from my nap . . . but wait what about my hair?Closer mom, get a closer shot and show all my fans what my hair looks like after my nap.

Great! I have hair that can really be styled.

To pierce or not to pierce . . .

We decided to pierce and doesn't she look adorable!
