I’m a little behind on my posting. Work has been hectic lately so i haven’t had time to post much.

Here is a sequence of pictures from last Saturday when we went out for patties. I’m holding Siennas froggy umbrella. it’s cute but she still has a hard time keeping it up.

it was raining

The next day we had Uncle Peter over for BBQ.. Below is a clip of Sienna filling up the kiddie pool. I love this clip, it shows the gradual escalation of naughtyness.

It was a bit hot so ijumped into the pool with Sienna. Before long, she was dousing me with water.

All wet in the kiddie pool. I love weekends like this. i think we should get a bigger pool though.

Sienna was so happy that uncle peter was coming over. Here, she crawled onto his lap and fell asleep. It’s a really cute picture.

Here’s lunch. Burgers mixed with bits of bacon and stuffed with blue cheese. They came out ok. I still haven’t mastered the stuffed burger. I think i need to try other burger combinations too.

yummy burgers and corn on the cob

mmmmmmmmmm!

Swimming and BBQ

Posted on June 8, 2009 by Shuggy

YAY, we finally made it to swimming class!! If you want to see pictures and videos, just check out Lisa’s blog..

We got there early this time and it’s a good thing we did. It took a while to change into my trunks and change Sienna as well. I’ll be ready for next weeks session.

The teacher was very good. We did a lot of songs but each song corresponded to a specific skill like kicking and paddling and dunking. I was nervous at first because we missed last weeks opening class. Everything turned out fine though. Sienna was a little apprehensive at first too but she got the hang of it. I think she really enjoyed herself and so did i.

Later that day came the first BBQ of the summer!! Peter, Nate, Mari, Doy, Lisa and Sienna were all in attendance

The Setup

This is the before shot. I like this setup, i think i’ll stick with it.

I wanted to try something different this time so i put a tv in the garage so we could play the Wii. I figured it would be more fun than having to go back upstairs. Big thanks to Doy for bringing the garage band game and to Peter for the rabids game.

yummy bbq

Here we are enjoying the BBQ. I made Burgers and hot dogs. Peter brought his famous deviled eggs (so good). Nate and Mari brought fruit kabobs and Lisa made her famous crack muffins.

Little drummer

Sienna really took to the drums..

Sienna tried to sing too

This video is funny, i love how Peter is just laughing the entire time and all Sienna wants to know is where auntie Doy whent.

The BBQ was so fun. We’ll be doing more for sure..

Almost Spring weekend

Posted on March 22, 2009 by Shuggy

This time of the year is always weird. it’s kinda coldish, it warms up for a day then cold again. I want to take Sienna to the playground without having to cover her up with a coat and hat. It’s coming, i know, I’m just a little tired of the cold air..

We needed to pickup a couple of things at Target and Old Navy this weekend so off we went after the Skype session with my parents.

Here’s Sienna outside Target. She’s eating her goldfish snack and posing for me…

Old Navy

At Old Navy, Sienna took a liking to the little girl manikin. She liked the dog too..

Later that day, we had a visit from uncle Peter!! Usually when Peter comes over, Sienna is taking her nap so we have some time to hang out with him. However, she wasn’t up for that at all. She got him to play blocks, read books and generally horse around with her. I think they both had a good time.. Peter and i discussed cookies and banana bread baking techniques.

Eventually the weather got warm enough on Sunday that i got to take Sienna to the park. I figured that i’d go to the park on Avenue S near the old Doctors offices. I chose that one because it doesn’t have many trees so the sun would shine on us. It was a little on the chilly side when we got there but Sienna seemed so excited to be at a playground that i just let her go..
