Dixon family pictures 2010

Jack Johnson concert August 2010....such a good concert. Usahna is a great venue. I like Jack's music, but I really like people watching at concerts. There were all sorts of peeps out that night. I especially loved watching the oh-so-very-white-boy dance moves in front of us. It kept us completely entertained the entire time. Dang! We should have gotten pics. And I loved being able to chill with Melissa and Matt & Company that night. Good peeps.

REAL GAME on July 24th with Tiff & Jake and the kidlets

Sienna's World

These are a couple of pics my brother Brad took of Sienna when we were at my parents house Sunday night for dinner. She stripped off her clothes and built forts and played hide and seek with Uncle Brad. She also suckered people to get her into my dad's water feature to go "swimmin". I love this pic of her wearing my mom's reading glasses. She certainly is a spunky little thing these days. I guess I'll write down a few things I don't want to forget. She is a little chatter box and just doesn't stop. She speaks in full sentences and can pretty much communicate anything she wants. When I give her lunch, she'll hand something back to me and say "cut it." So, now we're just working on the "would you please?" part. Actually, she says please and thank you more than any other kid I know. It's pretty cute. Speaking of food, she is still the pickiest little eater, though it's hard to complain because she will eat fruits and veggies. She just won't eat any meat and not really much table food. No pizza, pasta, mac-n-cheese, grilled cheese, quesadillas, etc....which makes it super tricky if we're out and have to get something at a restaurant or drive-through. Well, we have made a breakthrough and in the past few weeks have gotten her to start eating PB&J's and Mickey Chicken Nuggets. And she loves chocolate milk, her "shake". I swear I'm the only parent who is excited when their kid will eat this kind of crap. But at least she's getting some protein and we have a couple of "meal" options. What else? Well, she loves to play with "claydo" and go swimming. Last week my mom taught her the "Hit the road, Jack" song and she sings it all the time, shaking her head and waving her finger back and forth when she says "and don't you come back, no more, no more, no more". It's pretty funny hearing a song like that come from such a sweet little voice. I need to get it on video. It's pretty stinkin' cute. My little Sienna who has not been a cuddler, suddenly turned into a little cuddle bug. She wants hugs all the time, and will say "I need a hug....and a kiss?" We started giving "fish" kisses, and now she'll go through every other animal she knows, "doggy kiss, horsey kiss, cow kiss, froggy kiss" though they are all exactly the same! She's a funny little thing. Sienna is also obsessed with the potty, but she doesn't how to go potty, and she doesn't tell me when she goes potty, so I don't really know how to start the whole potty training thing. She will sit on the little pink toilet, with her diaper on, grab a couple of squares, wipe and then hop off and say all done. She still seems so young, since she's not even 2 years old yet, but I've heard that often girls are earlier than boys. Any advice, friends?

Powell Dance Party

Sorry, Nell, I couldn't help it... :)

Lake Powell July 2010--Scenic Shots

Thanksgiving Point fun

We had a little play date with friends in our neighborhood and went to Thanksgiving Point. Since it's so close we got a season pass to Thanksgiving Point, which has been super fun. In July it was the bday bash at the dinosaur museum and they extra activities like dinosaur oregami and face painting. The kids had a blast and of course didn't want to leave! I need to do better at taking pictures of my friends. We had fun too! :)

Emery & Addy, two of Sienna's BFF's.

Such a curious little one...

This was our weak attempt at a group shot.

The kids in action...

Second Chance Charm Huge Kids Consignment Event!

My friend Melanie is hosting a huge kids consignment event (one in Provo area and one in Ogden area).  I love the idea of being able to both sell and buy things for a great deal. It's also a great idea if you have a business and want to be a vendor.   Here's some of the details....

Our semi-annual event is an opportunity for you to sell your unwanted HIGH QUALITY  used items such as kid clothes sizes 0-16, shoes, toys, kid furniture, sports equipment, baby accessories, strollers, cribs, exersaucers, etc.

It is also a great place to shop and save a lot of money on many items you have been wanting for your family!  Its better than a garage sale because everything you are looking for is in one location!

Here's a direct link for the info...http://www.secondchancecharm.com/Event-Information.html
