One of Sierra's funny quirks...
Some more Easter Pictures!
My Sweet Sierra!

3. You have to admit, as far as looks go, she is a dang cute kid! Maybe it is vain to say you love your child because of their looks...but COME ON...SHE IS CUTE! She can make the cutest little faces!
4. Sierra has a Dora/Diego obsession. She goes around the house and "rescues" animals that are in "trouble." And she has a jump rope that is her "lasso rope" and she uses it to climb the furniture and rescue items that have fallen under the bed! It is so hilarious. I have actually heard her in her room playing and she will say, "Pepper (our dog) come quick. We have to rescue the tree frogs (or some other animal)." Then she will run from room to room looking for the tree frogs and yelling, "backpack, backpack..."
5. Sierra loves her friends in the neighborhood (Olivia and Carly). She tells me everyday, "Me miss me Carly. Me need me Carly come play my house." It is so cute to see her social side, and to see her develop her friendships.
6. Sierra loves the "Biggest Loser!" It is so funny. When ever Miner or I turn on the T.V. at night she asks if "Loser" is on tonight!
7. Sierra is a really good performer! You guys should see her. The girl can twirl like nobody's business. And she makes up her own songs to sing! She is awesome!
8. And finally, Sierra is such a girly girl. When I put her new Easter dress on her, she told me she looked like a princess. It was so cute. She didn't want me to take her dress off. She wanted to where her princess dress all day. What a sweetie!

An Easter Slump?!?
Rose and I took our kids to the Target photo center to get some Easter pictures taken...let's just say it was a fiasco! Also, let's say that the girl taking the pictures was entirely unhelpful, and next time I will just go spend the money for Kiddie Kandids! Rose and I were totally wiped out afterward and sweaty!! Kids were all bawling, hungry, and tired, except for Jack he had finished bawling and was just sitting there glassy eyed in a total "I've had it" stupor!! I wish I could say the pictures were so worth it, but after we waited FOREVER, the kids just looked kind of pissed! And quite frankly, so did Rose and I! I just can't understand why, as a mother, you get this unnatural urge to go have your kids pictures taken? But we have all experienced this, because we all have those pictures of us as kids dressed up and posed and looking just plain pissed!! HA HA HA! And I don't know why I expect that this time it will be different, this time they will not make me wait 2 hours, this time the girl behind the camera will be an actual professional, this time the smile will be REAL, and afterward I will be so proud and not sweaty....note to self...this does not occur in the real world.

The Miner's Cabin
So Happy!
Pulling her own sleigh!
So we went to the Miner's cabin in Hoble Creek Canyon this weekend. We had so much fun. We did lots of sleigh riding. Sierra loved it so much. She even told us she had to do it by herself! She was so brave. I didn't think she would do it, because it is such a big hill, but once she saw her older cousins going, she was unstoppable. I am just so amazed at how much she has grown up, especially in the last 6 months. I don't know how many of you are around two year olds much, but they learn so much so fast. Sierra has changed so much. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. At least, I will get to experience it all over again with little girl number two!
Now the other cabin story, So Roger brought his dog Sitka and we had Pepper...they were so naughty!! There are all these wild turkeys up there, and they killed one and then preceeded to try to tear it apart. Next day, they chased a deer until it couldn't run anymore. Roger and Miner were chasing the dogs and when they got to them the deer had been run ragged and was trying to defend itself! Those dogs were going to kill it if Roger hadn't gotten to them when he did! And this is in the same week that Pepper killed our neighbors pet cat! I am so horrified! So now Pepper has to be tied up when he is outside, at least until the snow melts and he can't escape our yard anymore...I swear he is going to get shot by some farmer up here!! So he is in doggy jail now because he is so naughty...He mopes around and hangs his head...he is such a good actor, we should put him in movies...
