LucKy DuCkS!!!

Some of you may laugh at this post and some may be green with envy but we just feel extremely blessed! My dad gave us one of the greatest gifts you can imagine- he has eliminated debt in our life! Our one and only ounce of debt was our car so he GAVE us a minivan so we could sell our car! From here on she will be referred to as 'the baby limo'- I am sure you can all guess Omar came up with that one!

So without further adieu here she is!

To add to our long lists of blessings we put our car on craig's list Wednesday night late, yesterday someone came and looked at it and as I write this O is off sealing the deal! We have loved this car- it is the first car we bought together, we drove off from our wedding in this car, and we brought Sienna home from the hospital in it- we LOVE you Galant and wish you luck in the future! I know I am totally pregnant but such great memories!

We are off to start great memories in 'the baby limo' tonight! We are taking her on our first road trip together- we are off to Utah AGAIN to bring some cheer (Sienna and James) to Grandpa Vawdrey, he is not feeling so hot so whatever we can do to make him smile!

DAD THANKS FOR ALWAYS BEING GENEROUS AND THOUGHTFUL ABOUT HELPING OUR LITTLE FAMILY!

P.S. Sienna is coming to give you a big slobery kiss to say thanks- she loves her limo!

9 month check-up

Last week Sienna had her 9 month check up and she has grown WAY TOO MUCH!

WEIGHT: 19 lbs 12 oz (75th percentile)

LENGTH: 29 inches (90th percentile)

She is loving to stand and why wouldn't she with those thick little thighs??? I know you are all jealous that you do not have those juicy thighs at your house to pinch and kiss :)

-UTAH-

I feel like I have not blogged in ages- because we have been playing in Utah for a whole week! My mom and dad are the best- they flew us to Utah and spoiled us with fun, entertainment, good food, free babysitting, and of course some r & r! We had the best time being together as a family and just getting away for a week! I am anti-slide shows so here goes a long post!

GRANDMA & MADDIE

grandma and her girls

UNCLE MIKEY

the bribery to make her like him

the matching shirt bros

RIDING BIKES & ENJOYING THE NEIGHBORHOOD

grandpa entertaining his girls-- this reminds me of my dad entertaining us as kids except he was on a 3 wheeler and we were on sleds or he was driving a boat and we were on tubes- one of the only things that has changed is that he always seemed to be trying to kill us!

GRANDMA & GRANDPA VAWDREY

gotta love that cussin old man



grandma and grandpa were dying to babysit so we enjoyed a night out as adults- this is the sight we pulled up to at the end of the night! How sweet!

OUR BIG GETAWAY

Our favorite part of this awesome trip was this... my dad got Omar and I a wonderful room at a great resort in Heber and my mom babysat while we went overnight. It was absolutely perfect, we had a fun dinner at the resort and yummy pastries. The next morning we slept in and ordered breakfast in bed, then enjoyed a morning of shopping!

QUICK OVERVIEW

We played hard and got into a little trouble (we have no idea exactly how she got into that basket)!

and we rested and relaxed! (yes this picture is real)

THANKS MOM AND DAD-- WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF OUR TRIP!
