New clothes

Ahren is still too small (more weight-wise than length-wise) for a lot of his clothes. He did rock his Jordan stuff. Sienna wanted to show off her new outfit, too!

Jordan booties:



Jordan onesie & hat (he didn't want to pose):



I got him this outfit before he was born in a size 3 months because I didn't think there was any way he would not fit in it by the end of the summer. As you can see, out little guy is long and lean so things fit him length-wise and are HUGE everywhere else!



Sienna's new outfit (and her favorite penguin):

State Fair

Last Friday Seth and I took off of work early to take Sienna to the fair (my mom came, too). Sienna had a BLAST riding all of the rides (although she could only ride a few without an adult). She also got to see the Butter Cow and the Butter Abraham Lincoln (she was pretty impressed).

We rode the carousel:



The balloons:



A rollercoaster:



The spinning dinosaurs:



She was able to ride the car carousel with her friend Kylie:



A rollercoaster all by herself (she thought that was amazing):



A ferris wheel all by herself:



A little train:



She was also able to ride a pony:



She would pet the goats, but each one only got a quick pat:



She was pretty psyched to be able to ride the Skyride again this year. She kept asking for a "yellow gondola." We made sure she got one (with my mom):



She also got to ride the Spider. She REALLY wanted to ride it, and thought it was AWESOME - for about a minute. At first I thought I was going to be sick (this was while she was enjoying herself), but I eventually felt better (about the time she thought it was scary). She didn't cry and she bravely stuck it out until the ride was over (she kept asking why we weren't stopping and that she wanted to go home and sleep in her bed). We didn't get any pics because it was too fast and Sienna is too short!!

Baby Bjorn

We painted our hallways a few weekends ago and Ahren got to help...well, he got to hang out in the Baby Bjorn on mommy while mommy & daddy painted. He wasn't too sure at first, but he got into the swing of things and was very good and fell right to sleep!

Party

My grandmother turned 85 yesterday and we had a small party for her. Here we are all dressed up and ready to go.

State Fair Parade

We took Sienna to the State Fair Twilight Parade last Thursday (it was too hot for Ahren so he stayed with my mom). She enjoyed herself (even if the recession hit the candy throwing pretty hard. She made a few friends, but was enthralled by the bands (nothing new).

Watching the troops pass:



Dancing to the band:

Ahren loves to play around now...it's so much fun. He started smiling several weeks ago, but it's hard to get on camera. He loves his swing and has started to become interested in his gym (before he would only 'play' there for a few minutes before becoming irritated).

Chillin' in the swing:



Smiles:



Hittin' the gym:





Hi daddy:



My paci just wouldn't stay in:



Mama's boy:



Just not the same as my paci:

My little angel

Sienna very rarely wants to pose for pictures any more so when she does we tend to comply. She wanted to show off her "hairband" (and her Kai-Lan dress)!

Ahren's baptism

Ahren was baptized on July 26 (sorry, I've been a really bad blogger)! We had the majority of our family to help us celebrate this wonderful day.
