what we've been doing!



It has been so cold around here lately. I honestly have been inside most days dreading having to go bundle up the kids and go out. We did go out a couple of times. The kids are learning how to play with eachother nicely. You wouldn't think that would be that hard but somehow it is. Ben loves Siena and follows her around everwhere and tries to do everything she does. Siena gets really upset that he takes her toy or destroys her block tower or her train set up. It's really frustrating for everybody and I hope she can get over the screaming at him part and just learn to play with him. So here are the more fun things we have done lately.

Ben learned to wave and tries to say hi
Ben learned to clap (it is very cute)
(I am still trying to get a cute video of it all...stay tuned!)
Mommy and daddy got to go out this weekend. We actually dropped the kids off at our friends house and dave and I even went our seperate ways. I got a lot of shopping done and Dave watched the awful BYU game. He didn't come home very happy.

We took lots of random pictures. It seems so hard to get the kids to take good pictures together where they are both happy, so one day we spent a good amount of time on Siena's bed jumping and taking pictures. That is the only place where they are constantly happy at the same time. We love jumping on her bed! (that's our header picture)

We started talking to Siena about Christmas and about gifts. We went through the Toys R Us catalog. She thought it was fun and luckily for us she doesn't want much. She was actually really excited to get Ben a little doggie like she has so he will stop taking hers.

We had family night every night. Siena discovered the family night box. Dave had a story and game with her one night and she loved it and as soon as Dave comes home she is ready for the same game and story. She plays it every night. Bingo book of mormon words and Joseph Smith gets the golden plates and then ice cream.

Some funny things that happened:
Talking about Thanksgiving I asked Siena what she was thankful for and she said Pajamas! She is so smart. we love our pajamas!

Ben and Siena seem like they are great entertainment for you. I can't wait for Beckham to have a sibling. He gets so board with just mom and dad. He loves when we visit friends with kids he can watch and learn from.
