Dress Up

Sierra has discovered "playing dress up".

First, she was a ballerina.

Then, she was a ballerina with rain boots on....(of course! what ballerina doesn't wear rain boots?)

Then, she wanted to put on her Cinderella dress AND the tutu AND princess shoes AND the crown of course.

This little lady is growing way too fast, but we are having so much fun!!!

First Day of School

All dressed up and ready for school....

No, I did not purposefully match her first day of school outfit with her backpack, however, it did work out nicely. :)

In her new classroom and super excited about this horse...

Ready for her day!

Sierra and her sweet teacher, Mrs. Carrie.

Sierra's 3rd Birthday Party

Can you guess the theme????? You got it!

Minnie Mouse!

The table decor and Minnie Mouse cake pops that Mom B and I made. (definitely more difficult than the directions claim. :) a story for another day)

Sierra does not really like "cake" but she LOVES chocolate chip cookies (she is definitely our child), so Mom B and I made her a Minnie Mouse cookie cake! Okay, so really I just baked the cookie part and Mom B did ALL of the decorating. I was so impressed with her artistic abilities!

More Minnie Mouse pops...I had to take as many pictures as possible because this was such a feat.

Happy Birthday Song....

Some of her gifts.....

Sierra has been asking for roller skates for a long time. She was so excited to get them and all of the gear that goes with it! I must say that I think we spend more time getting the gear on than we do skating!!!

Thanks to Sierra's grandparents and great-grandparents, Sierra was able to buy this with her birthday money...(and a little help from mom and dad :))

Thank you to all who made Sierra's 3rd birthday so much fun and so special! We love you all and are so thankful for you and our many blessings!

September 2nd :) Birthday Day!

I can't believe Sierra is 3 years old. Where has the time gone?
These pictures are from the morning of her actual birthday, not her party. :)
She really loves music, so this is her Dora guitar.

And her pink train set.....

After opening her presents from Mommy and Daddy, we went swimming with Sutton and Clara at Mom B's pool.

What a ham! Always posing for the camera! :)

Sierra opening a new game from Clara...

Mrs. Laura attempting to teach the 3 of them how to play the game. :)

A birthday in our house would not be complete without a Chick Fil A lunch, requested by the birthday girl. (Don't worry Taco Bueno was requested for dinner.)

Her Minnie Mouse cake pops....

Do you think they like them?

Sutton helping me take pictures..

MORE Summer Fun!!!

Sierra got to go to her 1st Ranger baseball game with her Pop, Daddy, and Mommy. We sat on the 3rd baseline and were VERY close to the action! (as you can see) In fact, the man sitting next to us caught a line drive foul ball. Sierra got a foul ball from the ball girl and was on the jumbo tron! She also ate 2 hot dogs and asked for a 3rd! (It was dollar hot dog night, but 3, really?)

Probably not quite as exciting as a Ranger game, but fun nevertheless.....playing some new games on daddy's ipod. I am convinced she can work that thing better than I can.

Swimming with Clarabeara.....

This is her best CHEEEEESE! face.

Sweet friends forever

Sierra has been reallly big into trains lately. She decided to build one in our living room.

Even Elmo, the Easter Bunny and Deedee's baby participated in the fun!

And we can't forget Clifford, Sierra, and Hello Kitty.
