A man after my own heart....

Before I had Sienna I liked pop but didn't have to have it- well after two kids it is my favorite! One of my favorite drinks is Diet Coke and especially Diet Coke from Sonic with VANILLA in it.
MMMMMMMMMM...
Austin (and Sienna) have the same problem and want a drink when they see a cup with a straw in it. (I am talking throw a tantrum and scream if they don't get even a sip-drives me CRAZY!!)

What can I say- they come from a long line of pop addicts.(for instance- both grandmas??)
When you ask Sienna what she wants to drink you get the response "diet." I used to be able to trick her but now she KNOWS when it is not her diet!
OK So call me a bad mom- i know! It's not like they get it ALL the time but I just couldn't pass up Austin's excitement when he got a hold of my cup!

In other news, we put Austin's hair in a little mohawk tonight. It just fits his little crazy personality. He is such a boy and I love every thing about my little munchkin!! Every time I get the camera out now he makes his dorky face like above and says "cheeeeeeeeeeese." It just makes me laugh! I love watching him and Sienna play together. Sienna was much busier than Austin BUT I think a lot of it is that he has Sienna to play with, and we have so many more toys than we had for Sienna. We recently got a pad of concrete put in our backyard and those two are out there ALL day long most days in the playhouse or sandbox.

Sienna has had a flu for about a week, but I think she is FINALLY over it. She went with Aaron to the Daddy Daughter and loved every minute of it! That is until she woke up in the morning and threw up! We thought she was better but I guess not.
That girl has some crazy stomach issues. None of us got it so I don't know WHAT it was but she throws up WAY too much for how old she is. Poor thing gets the flu every couple months and it lasts for DAYS!!

Anyways I just wanted to write a little update/ story for my own memory sake!

Easter Sunday

2009-04-24T21:36:00.000-07:00

Austin's dorky face he makes while saying "cheese"

This is what Sienna does when I tell her to smile! Some days this girl drives me CRAZY...

So I had these high hopes of FINALLY getting a cute picture of my kids LOOKING at the camera in their cute easter outfits! It didn't happen AS USUAL! My dad was cracking up saying he feels like he is in the past with me and Jared! We were running late for church (9 am church does not work for me when it is really 8 am Vegas time!) and so I took like 2 pics and gave up! Oh well- here is what I have to remember! HAHA- I guess this is what kids are really like anyways right??

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-24T21:14:00.000-07:00

( click on collage to make larger)

This year I was up in Utah for Easter. My cousin Brooke was getting married and my mother in law could drive halfway with me and the kids so we went on Saturday! Every year for as long as I can remember my aunt Laurie has an easter egg hunt. This year it was at my Grandmas house! The little kids are dwindling down to pretty much Garrett, Victoria and my kids! Luckily next year we can add Jared & Jaylene's baby into the mix!! (yay for a cousin on my side finally!!) Sienna absolutely loved the egg hunt! Austin just sat down the first chance he had to start chowing down! Good times and fun with the Callister family! That's always entertainment in itself!

Coloring Easter Eggs

2009-04-23T15:24:00.000-07:00

Before Easter we did the great tradition of coloring eggs. Sienna was finally old enough to attempt to do it and was so excited! Austin thought the eggs were balls and cried the whole time because he wanted to hold them and throw it! (He is such a boy in every way!!) Sienna loved her eggs and finished them all the next day. She even took one to the park and carried it all over like it was her baby or something. I love any holiday and especially now that Sienna is getting old enough to get excited as well.

Happy Birthday Mom!

2009-04-22T19:05:00.000-07:00

Berthie-

I couldn't have asked for a better mom! You truly are one of my best friends and you are the best grandma to my kiddies! I hope I look as good as you when I am your age! (haha- who does that sound like!?!) BUT Really I do!! We hope you had a fabulous day even though I talked to you like 5 times today already!=) We are SO sad we weren' there, but we will be sure to have a rockin "grandma party" for you when you get here!! Thanks for everything you do for me and helping me get through this insanity we call motherhood! (Now if you could just move back HOME!!) We love you!!

(My mom's name is really not Berthie- I just call her that!)

My mom asked Sienna if she could have a princess party like her and she said only little girls do that so she can have a grandma party! haha!!

The Rambling of a Mom....

2009-04-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

WARNING: This is a long and boring post about my kids so only read on if you wish...

SO I have been really slacking on blogging about what we have been doing! Not too much has happened around here, but because I plan to make this into a book I don't want to miss any moments looking back!

Sienna got her first "real" haircut by Katie! She cut the back to her shoulders so it can all be even and not such a mullet anymore! Good thing for those curly curls or it would of happened a LONG time ago! Sienna was a little shy at first even though she LOVES Katie, but talked about her "gorgeous hair" the rest of the day! haha! I just love my Sienna so much! Thanks Kate for the haircut!

We have gone to the park lots with our friends and especially on "Thursday Park Day"! (Thanks Kinsey for setting it up!) If you would like to come with us, send me your e-mail and we will add ya to the list! Last week we went to Town Square and it was SO nice out! I have decided two kids walking gives me a little anxiety at the park. Trying to keep track of both of them, especially Austin, really gives me anxiety at times when it is crowded!! Maybe when they are older it won't be so bad. It was fun for the kids and especially for us moms!

My kids are constantly out in the backyard playing in the turtle and playhouse! Austin crawls out my doggy door EVERYTIME I don't have it closed now. I have to shut the stupid thing to keep him from going out! When I forget he runs over and is out before I know it! He thinks he is so funny and screams and screams when I make him come inside. He is SUCH a boy! Climbs on everything, throws sand and rocks,(anything for that matter)eats rocks, and is obsessed with any kind of ball. I love my little man so much and love to watch his personality start to show! (Even if does scream like a girl when he doesn't get what he wants.. wonder where he learned that??)

Maybe one day I can get a normal pic of my kids looking??? Just maybe...

So I know this post is forever long but these pictures make me laugh or there cute...

Sienna and her great grandma Cleo. Sienna adores Cleo and loves when she gets to see her.

A typical night- Sienna as a princess and Austin getting his breathing treatment

All day long these two fight over the car and smash in their together to ride around until the other gets mad

One day Sienna got put in the "corner" and Austin went and put himself there too!

Austin loves to dress in Siennas things. I think it is hilarious and I believe he secretly does it to bug his sister!!

Anyways sorry this is so long and if you made it through all that- wow!

This is just what has been going on around here. A whole lot of nothing, but I want to remember the little things when my kids are grown. If you haven't ever heard the song "You're Gonna MIss This" by Trace Adkins go listen to it! Whenever I call my mom and am just frazzled to no end she tells me "just remember, you're going to miss this!" I always tell her that "I am NOT going to miss this!!" BUT I know before I know it my kids will be older and won't want to cling to my leg all day crying for me to hold them at the same time! So I am TRYING to enjoy every moment! I never knew being a mom was such hard work! But at the end of the day I love my kids more than anything and wouldn't trade them for the world!!

5 YEARS!

2009-04-06T22:47:00.000-07:00

So I am a few weeks late posting this but I just wanted to post that Aaron and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary! I know in the grand scheme of things it doesn't seem very long, but I think it has been the most eventful 5 years of my life! Getting married, adjusting, buying our house, having TWO kids, having to rely on each other through the ups and down, having to worry about money,learning to be parents etc.. etc! I truly wouldn't want it any other way! I love Aaron so much and am so grateful for all his hard work to provide for us, so I can stay at home! I don't tell him thank you enough. That is A LOT to happen in 5 years! He is such a great husband and father to our kids! Here's to an eternity together..

For our anniversary we actually got a babysitter (thank Alli!) and went to eat at Texas de Brazil! Being that I am a mom now, it was SO nice to have dinner somewhere fancy, delicious and kid free!

Disneyland February 2009

2009-03-21T12:17:00.000-07:00

We went to Disneyland for Sienna's 3rd birthday! I am finally getting around to posting these. She talks about going back all the time! She was just the right age but was still scared of the characters! It was a fun little family trip!

Austin- 1 year

2009-03-19T18:38:00.000-07:00

My sis-in-law Jaylene took some pictures of Austin for me up in Utah. Austin wasn't participating well but we got some cute ones! I am putting them on here so I can save them on my computer when I get home!

My Poor Sickies and other Randoms..

2009-03-06T20:18:00.000-08:00

So this week has been just a hang around the house and do pretty much nothing! We all have been having some major allergy/cold issues! It's been good that I haven't felt so hot myself, because it has forced me to sit at home and relax. (If you can call relaxing hanging out with two little ones at home!) It still didn't stop me from having TWO girls nights this week! (thanks girls, they were SO nice and fun!) And thanks to my wonderful husband who let me go and watch the kids even though he has a MILLION things going on!

Austin woke up this morning and was just crying and crying which is not like him at all, so I took him in to the doctor! Well Austin has had lung issues since he was about 6 weeks old and does breathing treatments twice a day as it is. His allergies have turned his coughing and snotty nose to drain into a earache and sinus infection! (Not contagious for those we have seen this week- he just has weak lungs which turn it bad FAST!) SO we have just hung out this week at home doing a lot of this

Playing lots and lots of dress up.....

Austin refuses to sit in his highchair lately when Sienna is around because he wants to be BIG like her and sit at the table.

Austin loves to climb on the back of Sienna's bike and she rides him ALL around. It is great for all of us! Keeps all of us happy and not screaming at each other! =)
My little Austin is getting SO big and it makes me want to cry. (NOT have another baby though to all you wondering!) He is starting to say a few words (his fav being ball and car and he is obsessed with both! SUCH a boy!) and earlier today kept taking his dinosaur and growling at me with it! He loves to climb on EVERYTHING and constantly has a red mark on his head from his latest crash. He loves to brush his hair (as if he has any-poor thing) and teeth and loves to use his own spoon and fork making a huge MESS!! I just love the stage he is where he is discovering the world around him but can't wait until he is a LITTLE older and can keep up with his sister because he sure wants to! I just love my little family and wouldn't want my life any other way!! Here are some pics from the last month or so..

My happy baby who is such a sweetheart and not near the drama his sister always is!!

Austin has to be in this car ALL the time. "CAA, CAA, CAA-(car) we hear all day long!

He loves to pretend blow into this party streamer.

One of his first many boo boos...

I wonder how he gets those boos boos...

I still have to laugh at the lady I got into the background..hot mama! hahaha...remind me to be nice tomorrow ok?

Austin Bonding Time

2009-02-23T20:55:00.000-08:00

Last Thursday Sienna decided last minute she wanted to go to Utah with my parents. My dad was flying back Tuesday and said he would fly her back with him so I let her go! Well it has been a nice break but I miss her SO bad! On the other hand I have gotten SO much done!! I didn't realize how much work Sienna is!! I have reorganized pretty much every closet in our house, cleaned the entire house, and organized the garage (that one Aaron helped with!!) We DIed a bunch of stuff and I just feel relieved to have some space! Having the 4 of us in this little house has packed us pretty full to say the least! Aaron got us a storage unit down the street and that cleared ALOT of space! Today was the first day I actually ventured out to stores! Katie gave me a much needed hair cut (thanks Kate!) and then I went to Nordstrom to get me some MAC makeup for my birthday a couple weeks late! I love just walking around the Fashion Show (even if I didnt buy much and Austin is such a easy shopper!!) I loved just having one on one time with Austin and not yelling at Sienna every 5 minutes to leave her brother ALONE! (I think Austin enjoyed it too!) I got to give him lots of attention without Sienna getting a little on the jealous side! On the other hand I am glad to go pick up my little crazy tomorrow at the airport! She had so much fun up there every day seeing Jared, Jaylene, Victoria, etc.. etc...(all our fam up there!). My mom said today she woke up and said "Who is coming to visit me today, grandma?" ha! I am so lucky to have parents who love my kids so much!! Thanks mom and dad for the break, but I am ready to have her back even if you aren't ready yet!!

Oh yea- the top pic is of Austin on his horse my mom and dad got him for Christmas! He LOVES it! He screams when you take him off! He has no hope of not being a cowboy- all the boys on both sides are, so I better just give up now!

My Little Sienna turned 3!

2009-02-18T10:22:00.000-08:00

Sienna at 1 day old
Sienna on her first birthday!

2 years old

3rd birthday- February 14, 2009

Feel free to read on but it really is boring and just for my memory sake!

Sienna brings more joy, laughter, insanity and love into my life then I ever thought possible! She truly is one of my best friends! She is my pal and loves to know everything that is going on just like her mom! I have been told so many times I have recreated myself and it is so true! I wanted to write some things about Sienna as a 3 year old so I don't forget!

*Sienna LOVES anything Princess! She calls Cinderella and Snow White all the time on her phone and asks how they are doing. She loves to dress up like them and wear or buy anything with princesses on them.

*she also loves Dora

*loves her brother (a little to much sometimes!) She is constantly hugging (smashing) and kissing him. She also gets a bit jealous and hurts him a little too much. BUT she always tells me when she hits him, bites him etc.. I am not looking forward to the day when I ask her what she did and she lies!

*loves any and all of our family. Her cousins are her favorite! Because she has no cousins on my sides she LOVES my cousins, aunts, uncles and family and they adore her!

*my mom and dad are truly Sienna's best friends and they spoil her rotten

*She loves to go to Beaver to granny and papa's and to the cabin. She asks me all the time when we are going again.

*she thinks everyone has multiple houses because most of her family does. (Are you at the Utah house? Are you at the Vegas house? Are you at the cabin?) I am afraid she lives in a very spoiled bubble because both her grandparents have more than one house we go to!

* she loves horses and gets to see them all the time because my dad, Bruce and Jared have them! She plays with her horse dolls and they are always named Stetson or Dancer like Papa's horses.

*such a social butterfly! she LOVES going to the park but only if her friends are there and asks me which ones will be there each time.

*she knows all my friends names and their kids and talks about them like she is a teenager

*she really talks and talks (like me!) and can say anything, gives me attitude and drive me crazy! I have to watch EVERYTHING i say or it may come out of her mouth

*likes to climb out of the cart at the store and run to the shoes telling me how cute they are when I find her!

*loves Target and Costco and knows what they are when we pull up

*loves loves loves her baby dolls which all have certain names and you better know them! she treats them like real babies and it is too cute

*her and Aaron argue like she is a teenager- i have to bite my lip half the time

*loves to be at grandma and grandpas house with just her and no Austin so she gets all the attention! (thats where she is now!)

OK so I could go on and on but this just sums Sienna up in a nutshell. That girl has more personality and is so much busier than kids her age, but we love her for it! She keeps me on my toes at all times! We went to Disneyland for her birthday and it truly was a dream come true for her! She got to meet all the princesses and get them to sign her book! She still talks about it constantly! We love you Sienna and don't know how we ever lived without you in our life!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

2009-02-15T11:43:00.001-08:00

So I know I am a little late but things have been CRAZY!! I took this pic hoping to make a card for family but never had time so here it is!! Hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!! And Happy Birthday to my little Sienna Lynn!! Pics of that to follow another time....

Austin's Birthday- (a little late!)

2009-02-07T10:35:00.000-08:00

My little Austin turned 1 on Jan 22! He is getting to be quite the little mischievous thing! My little angel has turned into a little crazy thing! On his actual birthday we went to the park with our friends, hung out and had Katie, Matt & Carson over for dinner and cake.

We just love our little man!!

I wanted to post some pics of St. George as well because I don't want to have to do a whole other post so here they are for my future book!

Austin had a big week I should say!! Now onto Disneyland this next week for Sienna's 3rd birthday!!! (THEN we get a break from spending $$$ on our kids for a LONG while!! I can't afford any more kids close to Christmas! )

we love the park!

2009-02-04T16:49:00.000-08:00

We have been spending lots of time at the park lately! The weather has been GORGEOUS!! My friend May took these pictures a couple weeks back and I just thought they were fun!

I hate you Mr. Tow Truck!

2009-01-27T20:21:00.000-08:00

Let me begin my story with some facts.
We live on the corner house in our neighborhood.
We have a 1 car garage (if you can call it that) which neither of our cars fit in so it is a storage area.
I used to park on the driveway, Aaron on the street in front of our house.
A while back they went through and red zoned all the corners in our neighborhood so we could no longer park in front of our OWN house. (yea we weren't bitter or anything- who the heck approved that?!?!)
So Aaron parks on the side of our house, my Yukon in the driveway.

So you get the facts- now onto my story!
So last Friday night I went to St. George to my nephews little birthday party and got home at about 9 or so. Aaron was in the driveway so I parked on the side of our house. I just pulled up and didn't think much of it.

Well about noon on Saturday we go outside to run some errands to find my car gone. Well in our ghetto neighborhood it was either stolen or towed because maybe I was in the red?? I don't remember. It was late, I was tired, kids had had it, I had had it! (you get the point!)

So Aaron calls the STUPID towing company and they of course have my car! (Seriously people- towed out of my OWN yard!!) Oh but it gets better. In order to get it out we have to pay them $279.75 CASH and nothing else. If we wait, there is a $40 a day storage fee. So there was absolutely nothing we could do about it. Aaron had to go down there and pay the stupid towing company almost $300 to get my car out! He said there was bullet proof glass and bars on the window to go up and get your car. (I wonder why..) I was about to pull out a gun on these people myself!

So while down there Aaron runs into a girl who is getting her car from our neighborhood as well, and our neighbor across the street got towed 2 weeks ago.

I was maybe a foot into the red- that is it! Is that hurting anyone? NO! So yea I got towed in front of my own house and had to spend what little extra cash we had saved up to go do something fun with! There goes our anniversary and probably my birthday!

I just had to tell this story because it just needs to be known- don't even put an inch of your car in the red zone at our house OR you will PAY up!!

Last night while driving Sienna says to Aaron "Did the tow guys put that writing on our window?" (referencing their info on my windshield)
Aaron: "Yep"
Sienna: "Should we sock them in the face?"
Aaron & me: "yes we should!"

So yea, I am quite upset about the whole thing but what do you do? Just vent about it on your blog I guess! And beware of people out to tow your car in front of your own house!

Utah!

2009-01-22T21:43:00.000-08:00

So last week my mom called and said "Don't you want to come see us?" Well I thought about it and decided to go the next morning up to good old Springville, UT! (I really would move there in a second if it were possible!) Aaron really didn't want us to leave him, but I told him it would be quick and I could see Jeremy wrestle and Sienna can play in the snow! I won't have another chance to go up there for quite awhile so off we went! I drove with my two kids BY MYSELF for 6 hours! I am insane, I know! The DVD players Aaron got me for Christmas worked MIRACLES and there was minimal fussing! We even got to stop by real quick and see Granny LaRayne at school! It was great to see my family and see Jeremy wrestling. That sport still grosses me out but oh well!

The kids with Grandma & Grandpa Callister at the wrestling match.

Sienna peed in her pants while taking a nap and I didn't have extra pants for her, so we had to stop by a K-Mart and get her a new outfit before Jeremy's wrestling match! A couple days later we were going shopping up in Salt Lake and she puked all over the place right as we got there! Luckily I had an outfit for her, but it got all over my car, carseat etc..! Afterwards she insisted we go into Tai Pan because she wasn't sick anymore. The love of shopping is in her genes! After her puking all over in IKEA too we decided we better just head home. The joys of motherhood!!

Jeremy- the wrestling champ! He just LOVES when I take his picture!

Funny story- I am such a LAS VEGAN! So I took Sienna out to make a snowman and I could NOT get the snow to go into a ball like a snowman. It would just pile up and fall looking more like a volcano! Well Shani informed me later you have to make a snowball and ROLL the snow! who knew?? I guess I have always had someone besides myself roll the balls up! I really am retarded at times but I AM from Las Vegas where we don't really make snowmen! Here is Sienna with Baby Office (she named this doll that and took it everywhere calling it that!) and our volcano that I gave up on!

Sienna helping Papa shovel the snow- there was SO much everywhere!

This was her face walking in the snow. She didn't like how her feet sunk-haha! It still makes me laugh.

Aaron decided to come up the next weekend with my dad, so we had a little early birthday party for Austin so my parents could be there! We had lots of cousins and family show up! Thanks again to everyone who came!

Two of the coolest grandparents I know! =)

My little birthday boy- we love you!

Other highlights for my memory- (you really don't have to read all this but I am writing it down because this is my record keeping!)

* My aunt got a babysitter for me and we had a girls day! We went and saw Bride Wars ( so cute!) and went to lunch!

* My parents watched the kids another night so Aaron and I could go out with Andrew and Julie to dinner and Marley & Me (such a cute show!)

*Austin got 2 teeth with another one on the way! NOT such fun nights!

*My mom woke up with Austin pretty much every morning and I got to sleep in- pure heaven in itself!

Thanks mom and dad for letting us come stay and for being the best parents a girl could ask for!

Happy Birthday Austin!

2009-01-22T15:21:00.000-08:00

I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living my baby you'll be!!

We went to the Lied Discovery Museum the first week of January with Kim, Jamon & their kids. Sienna had so much fun playing with her cousins and seeing all the fun stuff they had there! She got to sing, play grocery store, climb all over the place and just have fun. We had fun just hanging out as a family! After the museum we all came back and just hung out at our house!

Austin's 1st Christmas! He had no clue what was going on but it was still fun! He got a fun activity table, clothes, boy toys and Papa Bruce built him a much needed toy box! My parents got him a stuffed rocking horse for his room!

Sienna was so fun this year! She would not go to sleep Christmas Eve because she thought you got to meet Santa on christmas night. She woke up so mad that she had missed him! She got a bike but kept telling me she wanted a "cinderella one." Well those were too big for her so we improvised with Cinderella stickers-it worked! She got tons of toys from us and then Papa Bruce and Granny got her a princess castle and grandma Karen and Papa Paul got her a table from IKEA with the chairs.

The last couple days this is what Sienna looks like! She cracks me up! She has become obsessed with all her babies and packs them around in her baby carrier and pack n' play. We have had to get her bottles to feed them and she has even been found nursing them! She sings to them, kisses them, and cuddles them. She tells Aaron and I to watch them while she goes to the store or wherever pretend place she is going and to let her know when they cry. I even had to go to Sam's Club the other day with her pushing her stroller with her baby! If it isn't a baby it's her new barbies which have to get their shoes changed every 5 minutes! She is such a girl and we love her for it!
