Baby Goody Good : )

Mommy What are you Doing?

The other day Steve held Sienna lying down on his lap. She looked at me upside down and started laughing. I had a flashback to my childhood when my Uncle Darrell would come to visit. First he would draw eyes on his chin and cover up the rest of his face. Then he would lay on the bed and hang his head off the side. Last, he would become Mr. Goody Good. My uncle could keep us entertained for a long time. I noticed Sienna had the perfect chin for Baby Goody Good.

No more Baby Goody Good.......Please!

Dirt Bike Racing

This weekend we went to watch our nephew Scotty race his dirt bike. We were hoping that Sienna would not be to scared with all the noise and luckily she did great. She loves being outside so that helped. Her aunt Tami and Grandma and Grandpa Blackburn were there to hold and help spoil her so I think that helped too. Aunt Tami seems to think dirt bike racing is in her future, but I am not so sure. I think my little girl likes to stay clean just like her mommy.

Camping at Carpenteria

This weekend was the annual Blackburn family camping trip up at Carpenteria beach. We thought we would attend the festivities for the weekend with our two month old little girl. We have taken her to the beach before and she has swam in pools so we thought, why not, she is a real trooper. What we were not sure about were the trains that pass by the campsite every couple of hours. That was the unknown. That is what we were not prepared for. Some trains pass by the campsite in the evening and night and all you hear is the clickity clack of the train on the tracks. Unfortunately some trains think it real "funny" to blear their horns and make some real noise. Unfortunately we got one of those trains at 12:30 at night and again at 2:00 and Sienna was not happy! She screamed and wailed and let us (and the whole campsite) know that she was not a happy camper. We were going to stay a couple of nights but this pretty much summed up how our night was and we decided to stay only that one night. Even with the crazy night we had the next day was a lot of fun. Sienna loved the beach and took one of her longest naps yet.

Sienna enjoyed the sun

Took a nap and played with her cousin Carly.

In the evening we had to wrap Sienna up real tight in her blanket so she would stay warm. She loved sitting by the camp fire. Sadly it wasn't until we returned home that we realized we did not have any campsite photos. We only took beach pictures because we thought there would be another night to take campsite photos. Oh well there is always next year.

Seaport Village

Last weekend my friend Jessica came for a visit. One of the places we took her to was Seaport Village. I love going to Seaport Village and I wanted to take lots of pictures to remember the occasion.

Sienna was a good sport . . .

She even made some interesting faces for the camera.

My husband was awesome. He let me take many many pictures, but at the end of the day both he and Sienna were done posing for the camera. They let me take one last picture as long as I promised to put my camera away.

Fun at the Dentist

Uncle Heath,

You would be proud to know Sienna has been to the dentist monthly. Congratulations on passing your Boards.



Still got my choppers...... : )



I don't mind the dentist yet, he hasn't had to do a thing.

FSA Summer Picnic

FSA stands for Families Supporting Adoption. This is an organization that hopes to educate and support people who are involved or learning about adoption. We made a couple of friends through this group when we took parenting classes and they have really helped us through this adoption process.

On Saturday, Sienna and I went to a swimming/picnic party put on by the FSA group. We saw our friends Susan and Keith and their little girl Emma, and Angie and her little girl Lilly Ann. Sienna was so excited she slept through the whole afternoon.

Lilly enjoyed the water with her mom Angie, and she wasn't afraid to show off her feisty side.

Emma and her mommy and daddy enjoying the sun.

Sienna Reading

Hey Guys,

I have spent all day trying to figure out how to put a video on this blog. I think I finally got it! Here is a little video of Sienna Reading her favorite book...

Lets see if this works.....

Happy 4th of July

Sienna had a busy day, Her and Mommy visited Sallianne and her family for a little bit and enjoyed their pool. She was the hit of the party.
Afterwards they went and played with our friends the Palmer's and watched a Movie at their block party. Sienna Slept right through all the fireworks. We will wait til next year to introduce her to those.

Swimming Time

We found that Sienna is a little fish if the water temperature is right. Luckily our friends have a pool that they keep at 89 degrees.

It was 104 degrees yesterday so it was a good day for the pool. We just waited until sundown so we didn't fry.Mommy had a blast too. She did not want to let anyone else hold me. We can't wait to go back for another dip.
