Lets Get Together...Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Last weekend was a busy one for us! On Saturday evening we had the Collins and Poindexter families out for a cookout. We had an awesome time watching the girls interact (Caris Collins is 1 month older than Sienna, and Hannah Poindexter is 2 months older) and just hanging out! Reeves Poindexter is 3 and the life of the party! He decided Sienna was his new girlfriend and kept giving her kisses all night long! I think that all came on a bit too early for Daddy- hah! The highlight of the evening had to have come when Reeves decided to go streaking! Staci had specifically told him not to go out in the living room since he didn't have any clothes on- so I'm sure you can guess exactly how well he obeyed those directions!!


On Sunday we went over to Kurt's parent's house for lunch. We haven't been over there in a while, so it was fun to see Kevin and Cara (Kurt's brother and sister-in-law) and their kids. Riley, their daughter, just loves babies and she was so cute loving on Miss Sienna!

State B-Ball Tourney

This past weekend we headed back to our old stomping grounds (Austin) for the State Basketball Tournament. This is a big tradition in my family since my Dad used to be a basketball coach and actually took several teams to the State Tournament himself (and won once!) back before I was born. I went for the first time at 6 months of age and have only missed 3 or 4 in my lifetime! Kurt started going with us when we were dating back in college. Somehow his parents started attending also since they love to follow high school basketball as well! I mainly go now for the social and family aspect of it (as well as the good food we always hit up in Austin during the intermission breaks!). It was fun to be able to take Sienna this year and she was of course super spoiled by all her grandparents and held constantly! She was a really good girl for 2 of the 3 days, so we were thankful for that- especially given that the weather was so cold and rainy! We also enjoyed a fun brunch out with some of our Austin friends on Sunday, but silly me forgot to get the camera out! Guess I was too busy holding a little someone named Sienna!!

Sienna is now able to sit in the Bumbo for short periods of time! She's holding her head up already at 3 months!

This was strange- some random guy walking around the State Tournament dressed like Borat- notice the reactions on everyone's faces in the background! Keep Austin Weird, right??

Sienna at her first State Tourney!

5 Years of Wedded Bliss

Kurt and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary last Friday! Thanks to Kurt's Mom and Dad we were able to celebrate with a dinner out at PF Chang's and some shopping at Watters Creek in Allen. We are hoping to go on a vacation this summer that will be a longer celebration- that is if we can leave Miss Sienna for a while!

SiSi is now grabbing things and this little puppy is her favorite!

Just couldn't resist this one! We bought her a little sunhat and sunglasses while we were out celebrating our Anniversary- she looks like a little starlet!

The beautiful roses Kurt gave me!

The new stats!

I am a little late posting pics of SiSi at 2 months...it was really like a week ago. So here they are, along with her latest statistics- she is going to be a tall girl and is obviously still taking after her Daddy!!

Weight: 13 lb., 9 oz.- 100th percentile
Height: 25 1/4 in.- over 100th percentile

Head: 15.3 in.- 75th percentile

Kurt's 30th...and a few cute pics of SiSi

On Saturday night we celebrated Kurt's 30th in style! First we had an awesome dinner at Fogo de Chao with Chris and Robin. In case you've never been to this restaurant, it is a really cool experience! It's a Brazilian steakhouse where they give you a card with a red side and green side- the green means "Bring on the meat!" and the red means "No thanks I'm about to bust"! Based on your card the waiters will bring 15 different kinds of meat on skewers over and slice it off for you! They also have a great salad bar- but who wants to eat that stuff, right? Or at least that was the guys' take on it! Kurt and Chris really liked it and despite the hefty price tag Kurt deemed it worth going back!

Then we continued on to the Dallas Mavericks game to see them play the Chicago Bulls. My camera wasn't taking very good pics in the arena for some reason, but here's one that shows how close we were sitting to Mark Cuban (owner of the Mavericks). He's in the black shirt standing up right on the court:

And finally, I just couldn't conclude without a few cute pics of our girl over the last week:

Can't you tell how excited she is about tummy time??

In case there was ever any doubt about who her Daddy was, just check out that hair:

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We hope it's one to remember! Can't believe it's the BIG 3-0!! Thanks for being such a wonderful Daddy and Husband- you light up our lives!

Meet & Greet

This past weekend we went back to Friendswood for a friend's wedding. While we were there my Mom had lots of friends over for a Meet & Greet with Sienna. We had the best time visiting with everyone and showing off our little sweetie! Here are some pics:

Here's one of SiSi smiling- it's hard to get the camera when she's doing it!
