Our Easter

I am a little late on my Easter post!! My Mom and Dad, Walt and Bettye, have been in town for the week after Easter and we have been running around doing all kinds of fun stuff! Sienna had a wonderful first Easter filled with all kinds of fun toys, new clothes and books from Mom and Dad, Aunt Cara and Uncle Kevin, Aunt Sammie, and both sets of grandparents! She just loved spending some extra time with her Grammy and Grampy Wilson this week. She is absolutely in LOVE with my Dad! It is too funny- she just smiles and cracks up every time he looks her way! And believe me the feeling is mutual! She already knows how to wrap the guys around her finger!

Easter was so busy around our house that Mommy did some really silly things! First, Sienna was extra fussy one night and I just couldn't get her to go to sleep! Well, in the morning when I went to change her diaper I realized I had somehow double diapered her!! Poor girl- 2 diapers for the whole night! No wonder she was mad! Then the next day on Easter Sunday I put her sweet little dress on her and cut the tags out and took her over to Grandma and Grandpa Martens' house. She wore the dress the whole afternoon and finally when she went down for a nap I changed her into something more comfortable. Well, that was when I realized I had left the bloomers attached underneath the dress! No wonder that dress seemed so poofy! My lord- people are going to think I'm a BAD mother!! So, you will notice she has no bloomers on in the Easter photo below! Hah!

The First Supper...

We decided to try some rice cereal last night since we had some on hand and Sienna has been acting really interested in our food lately. Well, surprise, surprise- she really liked it and got the hang of things immediately! I thought for sure we would have to work with her a while before she actually started "chewing" it- but nope- she was on it right away! That's my girl!

Yesterday Sienna and I also spent the day at the Dallas Arboretum with Kurt's Mom (Darla), sister-in-law (Cara), and cousin (Katie). It was an absolutely gorgeous day and we enjoyed sitting outside and eating lunch at the cafe, then walking around and enjoying the lovely grounds. I had never been to the Arboretum before and shamefully didn't even know it existed! Everyone kept telling me I had to go take pictures of Sienna there while the spring flowers were pretty! So we made sure to do that! And by the way, I have never seen so many professional photographers taking pictures in all my life- we probably saw at least 10 brides and girls in quincenera dresses taking pics! Tracy- if you're reading this- you should consider this as a wedding (or at least a bridal portrait) venue!

Hop, boing, like a bunny bunny...

Last week, Sienna and her friend Hannah had their picture taken with the Easter Bunny. He was not your typical Easter Bunny with the big smile and floppy ears... he was more serious and wore red Chuck Taylors. I guess he was Peter Rabbit? Kazzye and Stacy had a great time spending their baby-daddy's money on some neat matching outfits. Hoppy Easter to all!

Sienna also received a snazzy pink personalized chair from her Grammy and Grampy Wilson. Although Daddy let out a few choice words while trying to figure out how to assemble the chair, it goes nicely with our living room decor and Sienna already had her first photo shoot while lounging.

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??

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!
