She's been teasing me...

Who is this kicking and splashing around in the pool?

Could it be Sienna having fun in the W A T E R?

Wait a minute...

She hated being in the water!

Can't you see the Excitement here?!
Ummm...I think so, if I do say so myself.

Little stinker was teasing me this whole time!

Or it could of been cause she had to try to keep up with the bigger sibling and cousin?!

Or simply decided that, hey this is pretty fun!

Whatever the case is...she sure did have a good time!

(notice Cambree and Abby holding hands...they held hands practically the entire time. What cute cousins.)

Wordless Wednesday...

Sienna LOVES to get her nails painted! She found the nail polish today, and wanted me to paint them. I was busy, but I couldn't resist her cute little, "Pease" (Please) and her bright blue eyes looking up at me. Afterwards she crawled on her rug and went right to sleep. Thanks to her children's Benadryl that she has been on for a few days! lol

Sorry mine wasn't so Wordless :)

The Paper Mama ~ Flower Photo Challenge

My baby has had a summer cold ;( It seemed to cheer her up for a little bit, while she played with this flower hat today, or at least it appeared too. She is beginning to really like putting on her own clothes and taking them immediately right off. It's so cute to watch her try to get it right. I hope she starts feeling better soon.

My Nieces

We had my nieces over this weekend, for Friday night and Saturday day. All day on Friday Cambree kept asking me, "How many more minutes Mom?!" She wouldn't take a nap at all, all she was worried about was when the girls were going to walk through the door. They finally did and she wore a smile on her face the entire time.

We went swimming on Saturday, the girls had so much fun together (of coarse). Abby and Jo Jo held hands almost the entire time at the pool. (I have Pict's I'll have to share later...it was cute!) Sienna even seemed to enjoy the water a little more this time. :) We sat near a 1 ft. kiddie pool and I think she liked that she could stand and sit without the water being to high. So she got comfortable. A little too comfortable. I couldn't leave my eyes off of her. At one point, she darted to the pool at full speed and ran right off the edge. Luckily, she didn't get hurt, but scared me and everyone that was around. I'm pretty sure she will be the one with the first stitches and/or a broken bone. Just saying.

After swimming we went to Grandma Great's house until the girls had to go home. Of coarse, I had to snap a few Pict's of the girls before they left.

This is one of my favorites of Jo. Hadlee was trying to get her to smile. Had is so dang sweet with Cambree. She always is watching out for her and she always does such cute things with her. In the morning, as soon as she woke up she was reading her books with her. Cambree adores her.

As she is starting to show signs of sleepiness. She played extra extra EXTRA hard!
They all wanted a turn with Jo's hat! Here is Abby. She is such a little petite thing. She is so super excited to start school. She can hardly wait! I can't believe how big and grown up she is beginning to look. Love her!
And here is Hadlee looking like a little model. I had fun with her this weekend. She has become so mature and I found myself laughing at her jokes all weekend. She is so much fun and what a beautiful girl!

Today while driving Cambree and I played a little 20 questions (trying to keep her awake) these were her answers. I just love her and her sweet little voice she has right now. Here are a few Q & A's, at least the one's that I can remember.

1. What is your favorite color? Blue

9. What scares you? The big baby (It was a bad dream she had about a very large baby that was trying to eat her.) She just started this nightmare thing. I just hope she doesn't start sleep walking like I did when I was little.

Wordless Wednesday...strike a pose!

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Pineview 2010

This place is my favorite spot to camp! It's so peaceful here and the lake is beautiful and we all love hanging out on the beach sunbathing and relaxing. (As close to a beach as you can get here :) Every year we come for my SIL's birthday and it always calls for a good time!

After breakfast we all get ready to go down to the shore. I love spending the afternoon soaking up the sun and watching the kiddo's play in the water and in the sand. This is Sienna's second year here. Can't believe how much bigger she is this year compared to last! ;( Why is my baby growing up so fast?!

She preferred her little bum to stay mostly out of the water. She enjoyed digging in the sand the very most. She would get up every once in awhile to get her feet wet or throw pebbles in the water and that's about it. She is such a good baby. She loved taking long naps under the tent and waking up to play in the sand some more.
Cambree on the other hand, prefers to be in the water. She rarely had her floaties off! She is my little fish. Thinking I should of put her in some swimming lessons this year...so maybe next! She would play in the water and get out and roll around in the hot sand to warm up. She had so much fun! This year she even took her first spin on the wave runner with me and she loved it! She kept telling me to go faster!

Watching Grandma catch a little football...
Another part of camping that is so much fun to me besides being with my family is the cooking. I swear, when your up in the mountains food just tastes better. But, it's fun cooking together, chatting and telling stories. The trip would never be the same without my sweet Grandma that comes with us every year. She is so much fun to be with! I am so glad that she ended up feeling good enough to go this year, because she is half the fun!
Sienna throwing rocks into the water...
She loves to wear sister's sunglasses too! She pretty much is a Sunglass Diva...cause she loves to wear them so much! It cracks me up when she slides them on top of her head like me! :)
Watch out Baywatch...
Michael made a little bath tub for the kids to put water in. He lined it with the clay so the water won't absorb. They thought that was pretty cool. Kays was giving him a hand! I love her little faces she pulls!
We walked down to the lake after dinner and watched the sun go down. It was so nice to have Mike home. He had been gone for 3 weeks for work and came home the day we came up to camp. The girls saw him walk up to camp and ran to him! They missed him and was so excited to see his face. They sure do love their daddy! It was so nice to have him home!
He brought back the girls a little Hula costume from Hawaii. Kayslynn, Brooke and Olivia had fun playing dress up in it and letting me take a few pictures. They all are so sweet! I happened to get one picture of Sienna in it as well, but Cambree didn't care to try it on. She was too tired.

Lots of great memories and can't wait for next year!

i{heart}faces -Week 32 - Surprise!

It's a surprise over at i{heart}faces and I thought I haven't entered in a while so why not. This is the first picture that came to mind. My cousin was kind enough to let me take some Pict of her 4 month little girl Kiisley! It was a lot of fun! Who could complain with such a cute subject.

Head on over to i{heart}faces for more Surprises!
