She finally did it!

We knew that Sienna would eventually walk, but a small part of us (okay mabye just me) was a little worried that it was taking her so long. Well at 16 months she has finally done it. She loves to just roam the house picking things up and moving them where they should not be. I find shoes all over the place. Here are some pictures of her over the last month getting ready for her big debut!


We borrowed this walker from a friend hoping it would help her want to start walking. Whether it was the walker or just time she is now doing it.


Yes, she still loves to put shoes on her hands, but instead of crawling with them she will just walk around the house with them on her hands.

She loved all the attention she was getting in Arizona from the family. She is the youngest cousin on Brian's side and gets lots of lovin'!


Here I go!

Yes, I am very proud of myself!

Yes, Arizona in July!

We were hoping to keep our blog updated every few days while we were in Arizona but that didn't happen. I was then not going to blog our trip to Arizona because all our family was with us, but then my friend Tara said, "I was not there". So Tara this is for you. Here are some highlights of our trip.



Everyone was soooo excited for our trip to begin. Here we are in the shuttle bus on our way to get our rental car at the Phoenix airport.

Both Brian's sister and my brother had pools, so that helped us keep cool. The tempature got up to 116 while we were there.


The girls and dad

Taking a swim break- Rylie, Austin and their cousin Berkley. You really didn't need a towel to dry off-just sit out of the pool for 10 minutes and you were dry.
Britton and Colin

Had to get a picture in front of a cactus.
Jumping off the rock waterfall.



Eating chocolate fondue. What could be more fun for kids.....a pool and chocolate.
I had to take this picutre because these three guys looked so funny trying to put up this volleyball net in the hot sun.
My cute little girl!
Colin was so excited to see a "real" cowboy that we had to get his picture taken with him. It was actually a waiter at the Pinnacle Peak steakhouse. They have hundreds of ties hanging from the ceiling from different people from all over the world.
Grandpa taking a rest with the boys.



Colin loved hanging out with his big boy cousins. Here is Chase, Trey and Austin at the Rockin R Ranch. We went here for dinner, a show and a gunfight.
We had such a fun time in Arizona and want to thank Jeff, Jen, Tami and Steve for their great hospitality and for the great food! We loved being with our family and the kids loved being with their cousins. Thank you for the great time!
