Lagoon Day

Sienna was able to ride some rides at Lagoon this year. All of her cousins were excited to ride with her. I still can't believe what they charge for a day pass for a toddler! RIP OFF! The only ride she really liked was the little cars that go in a circle. She kindove liked bulgy the whale and hated the carousel. I don't know if Lagoons carousel goes faster or what because she likes the one at the zoo. She wasn't too impressed with the train ride. All those animals look so sad! I'm glad she at least liked to look around at everything and all the people walking around. Hopefully next year she can go on a few more rides! And actually enjoy them!

Happy Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day by having Mommy work all day! No actually we had a great dinner at Sam's moms house after I got off work. I gave Sam a gift certificate for a massage, (totally forgetting that's what he got his dad!) I feel like a horrible wife for not remembering something like that. DUH!!! Since Sam has been training for the Park City marathon, I thought it was a great idea! I will have to make it up to him for his birthday! My dad was on his mo tab choir trip so we weren't able to celebrate father's day with him. I just can't believe it's been over a year since we became parents. Its hard to remember what things were like before Sienna arrived! Hope everyone had a great father's day!

Camping in the rain!

We went to my family's cabin in the Uintah's last weekend. We had it all to ourselves so it was a lot of fun. Other than the stinking rain! It rained about half the time, so we at least got to ride the four wheeler a few times. It was fun to see Sienna explore everything and wanting to play in the dirt and mud. When we first got there, Sam had to turn on the water and found a skunk waiting for him in the cellar. Luckily it didn't spray Sam, but the next night it visited us again! He came up to the front porch and tried to eat leftovers from our dog's bowl. It was 11 o'clock at night, so it scared the crap out of us! He ran away once the we turned on the lights, so hopefully he went to another cabin for good! I'm glad we were able to go camping finally this summer. Hopefully there will more to come soon...

1st hair cut

I took Sienna yesterday for her first hair cut. I've been putting it off , but her bangs were getting so long they were driving me crazy! I usually pull them back with a barrette, but she always takes out anything in her hair. I took her to Cookie Cutters in Riverdale. They are a little expensive but you pay to have the kids watch a movie and sit in a cute car they can play with. The girl there did a good job. I was a little nervous Sienna might move and have a huge hole or something. She barely trimmed the back and cut cute bangs. Sienna has a little bit of curly hair in the back and I didn't want that gone. The only down side is I was told they will take her picture and give you a certificate for their 1st hair cut, but their camera and the computer that prints off the certificate weren't working. That would have been so cute to scrap! So this is my photography skills at home. She knows to say "cheese" now when the camera comes out. I think she looks like Boo from Monster's Inc. now! Love it!

Sea legs are here to stay

We went to Willard Bay on Saturday with Sam's mom and step dad. Sienna has never been on a boat before so we were a little worried of how she would react. It took her about 5 minutes to get used to the life jacket. She didn't like it because it confined her so much and she couldn't walk on the boat that well. She sat on my lap almost the entire trip. Once we starting moving a little faster and the wind blew her hair, she was golden. I'm so glad she liked boating! I always tell Sam that one of my goals in life is to get our own boat and go to Lake Powell every year for a family trip. I love it down there! Hopefully we can start doing that in the next few years.
I really wanted to wake board, but Sam got in first and then the wind came. It looked like it was going to rain too, so we decided to go back in to play it safe. I hope I can wake board this year. It's been way too long. I was surprised that the bugs weren't that bad. Hopefully it will stay that way. AND hopefully we can go a few more times with Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks for taking us! I LOVE SUMMER!!!

ISN"T SHE THE CUTEST GIRL EVER?!!!

Vegas Anniversary

We went to Vegas for our 5th wedding anniversary last week! We had 3 days of sun and lots of fun! We stayed at the New York New York Casino. It was pretty nice. I like how they have the shops and cafe's all set up there and the dueling piano bar is awesome there.

We saw a few shows and the highlight of our trip was eating at the Eiffel tower restaurant at the Paris. It was so beautiful! It was a 6 course meal and very expensive, but I'm glad we went. It's definitely a one time experience. You can see the Bellagio fountains show every 15 minutes and we arrived at sunset so the view was sooo beautiful. We ate food that you've never heard of or could repeat back to the waiter. Sam was so sweet and got me a beautiful necklace and surprised me with roses. It was awesome to walk around with a dozen roses and get all sorts of looks from other women. After dinner we saw the Cirque de Soilel show called "O". The stage has a huge pool in the middle and the performers do all sorts of tricks and flips in the water. It was cool to watch a big show like that.

The last night we were there we went to the Palms and saw Dane Cook. He was pretty funny, but I was little disappointed. The comedian before him (I forgot his name) had me and Sam crying we were laughing so hard. We saw a few celebrities there. Nelly and two NFL football players. It seems like all the celebrities like to stay there. I guess because it's a little more secluded than the other resorts.

I'm so glad we were able to go and have a nice anniversary. Thank you Grandma Annette for watching Sienna for us. It was an anniversary we will never forget!

Our 1st dessert at the Eiffel Tower restuarant. We had souffle' for the 2nd dessert. I've never had it but it was to die for!

We had 4th row seats for Dane Cook. Ya think I could have gotten a better pic!

We want to back asap! Anyone up for a Vegas trip soon?

Ogden marathon

Sam and I have been running pretty consistently the past 3 months. Some girls from my work were trying to get a relay team together for the wasatch back that is in June. Unfortunately we are on the waiting list, so I'm not sure if we will be in it or not. But it has motivated me and Sam to both get back in shape. So three days before the Ogden marathon, Sam decided to run the half-marathon and they had one spot open for a VIP. It costs $200 but you get gear, a free massage, and a goodie bag. And some of it is tax deductible. The VIP's get their own shuttle, port a potties, and get to keep their gear on the bus. He was a little nervous before it started, but he finished in 2 hours. It was faster than he thought he could do, so he was way excited. I had to work again, so I wasn't even able to be there to cheer him on. But thankfully grandma Annette took some pics for me. THANK YOU!!! I'm going to do the West Haven 5K and the South Weber 5K if the relay doesn't work out. I don't feel ready for the relay, but want to do it so bad! I want to feel that runners high, and not the sore muscles anymore! I'm so proud of my hubby for doing this on such short notice! Your Awesome!

ALMOST to the finish line!

Sam's sister, Alexis ran the 5K. Your awesome too AL! That medal looks huge!

Sienna was able to hang with Dad after the run. They had a lot of booths and food for everyone. Ogden City can do a good job of entertaining for all you haters out there!
