Amen !!!

Sienna has recently learned how to pray with us at meal time. She is so enthusiastic that it is hard not to laugh.

Happy Easter!

Sunday morning we were invited to our friend's house for an Easter egg hunt.



"Can I go yet mom? I see an egg."



Sienna was ready to go. She went from egg to egg and only became more excited when she realized there was candy inside. Then she became more interested in eating the candy than finding her eggs.



Here is everyone who participated in the egg hunt.


Later, after Sienna's nap we had our own hunt in the backyard. My family always hid our Easter baskets and when we woke up Easter morning we all went to find our basket. Since Steve worked, I waited for him so he could participate in the fun. He was confused by my excitement, and it was then that we realized we had different Easter basket traditions. Lucky for me he went along with my tradition and enjoyed Sienna's excitement.



"Where's basket?"



"An egg mom."



She finally found the basket in the tree.



We enjoyed spending time as a family and with our friends. We hope your Easter was just as enjoyable as ours was.

Sunday Walk

After a great breakfast and a Sunday nap we got the itch to go for a walk. We had heard about a nice hike up in the hills around our home. The Santa Rosa Plateau has some seasonal pools that are beautiful.



We saw many beautiful parts of nature, including trees, flowers and cacti. We will definitely need to come back when the wild flowers are in season. We could only imagine how beautiful that is.

Sienna enjoyed stomping on her shadow as she and Daddy walked the trail.



It was almost impossible keeping her on the trail and the Boardwalk. There were so many cool bugs, rocks and flowers she was dying to pick up.


We found a fun tree on the way out that she just could not pass up. Our little girl is a tomboy.

Look at her climb. She was making us nervous.

We had to keep Sienna from getting to close to these pretty flowers.



California Poppies are Beautiful. The State Flower FYI.

No she is not dancing she is busy shooing away buggies and pointing to the moon. She is quick to tell us every new word she knows and won't let us leave until she has pointed out everything she wants to see. We were finally able to leave after she said good bye to the buggies, good bye to the trees, good bye to the water, good bye to the spider and good bye to the flowers.
