Another fun day with cousins

On another day we went up to the mountains. We found an all you can eat pizza buffet that Joyce is excited to bring her older boys to. We also walked around the mountain lake. We were going to try to walk all the way around, but Sienna and Blake stopped every couple of feet to throw rocks and dirt into the water. Juliette wanted to be apart of the fun too.

We only were able to walk partway around the lake. When we came to a bridge we stopped to make a wish at the wishing rock. Blake immediately went over and started to climb up the ledge. I was not to surprised when two seconds later Juliette followed.








Here is the wishing rock. Sienna wished that she could play with a unicorn, and ride on a dolphin. Her wishes made me smile. I think they are similar to what I wished as a child.

Our visit in Colorado

Last week my girls and I went to visit my sister Joyce and her family in Colorado. We had so much fun and enjoyed being with family. On the first day we were there Joyce took us to the Denver Botanical Gardens. It was a beautiful day and we walked around the different gardens. The lakes and pools were the hit of the day. Joyce and I enjoyed watching them get excited playing in the water, but we were a little scared that we would end up with someone falling in. We got lucky and everyone stayed dry.

Later that day we went to a nearby park with the younger kids.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We are enjoying our Easter in Colorado with my sister Joyce and her family. This morning we woke up to find that the Easter Bunny found us here. The girls were happy with their Easter Baskets and couldn't wait to break into their stash of candy.

After church we drove by the Denver Temple. We enjoyed the beautiful flowers and walking around the temple grounds. It was a good way to spend our Easter afternoon.




Sienna is so happy to be with her cousins. I haven't heard her laugh as much as I have this weekend.






I love these shots of my sweet little girls.

It was a hot day yesterday!

April Pictures

My good camera is not working, so I have not wanted to take pictures lately, but then I realized I was missing some cute moments that I wanted to remember.

The other day we went to Disneyland, and Sienna and I decided to ride the monorail into the park while Steve and Juliette walked in. While we were waiting for the monorail Sienna was looking at the map and then she said, "So, mom where are we on the map?" She said it like such a big girl and with such a cute attitude. I can't believe my baby is almost 4.


One of my favorite things to do with my girls before bedtime is read books and cuddle. Sienna and I still cuddle as we read our books, but Juliette wants none of that. She wants to stand by the food rest while she reads and she does not want to wait for mom to read all the words. Her new phrase is, "I do it myself!" That goes for pretty much everything.


Sienna with her beautiful smile. She is holding a cake pop made by my friend Becca. Delicious!


Watch out Gretchen, here comes Sienna. She loves to take pictures, and if I am not careful with where I leave my camera I will find her snapping away. Here are some of her works of art.


There seems to be a theme to her pictures. Sienna loves following Juliette around and taking pictures of her.
