Easter, Sienna and other random stuff

So it's been a while since my last update, and in that time there has been Easter, birthdays and other stuff happen. Let me start with Easter at the Cowley house. We had fourteen people including My dad, the MacDonalds and 3 of Sienna's great grandparents. We had a great feast and a wonderful time of fellowship. On the Sunday the Brisco's surprised the family with a visit and we had a big tennis match on the Monday, lots of fun. I should say that on the Friday I reluctantly played flag football only to be undercut by the Noobie youth pastor of Ladysmith. I hurt my leg, back and he also stepped on my foot with his cleat and turned two of my toenails black. A long story short I was basically incapacitated for the weekend. After the weekend we went to the Keg with my Dad, Bev, Tricia and Justin for T&J's birthdays.
Sienna has also started teething and is a little fusy at times but she makes all kinds of wierd sounds and funny faces. Sienna also rolled completely over on her own this week which is pretty cool I guess. Anyways I'm not wanting to blab anymore so see ya.

This is a random tennis ball but I like the picture(I'm a simple man).

Intense action in the doubles tourny
Elizabeth still has her sweet stroke.

This is the most freaked out Easter bunny I've ever seen.

That's better

All hail King Brian on his birthday!!!

Today is one of the most special days of the year. It is a tradition that has been around for nearly three decades and is a time for all people to celebrate the birth of a powerful and wonderful friend. This person to which you should shower with many gifts and kind words is of course none other than ME! Let us take a moment of silence to remember all the great things I have accomplished on earth.............. Is that enough time, take as long as you need......... O.k. so I'm not as great as 95% of the world, but whatever, I have a b e a utiful wife, baby, family and friends. Yes friends you are beautiful too. Anyways thanks for letting me go one about my wonderful self.

Nicole and her dirty thirties.

Last night our good friend Nicole turned 30!!!! It was a girls only night of fun and games. Elizabeth planned a scavenger hunt for about a dozen girls. The hunt involved racing all over Victoria in two seperate cars gathering clues to lead them to the end. Some of the highlights were ordering a "grande wamijamidingdong" at starbucks, wearing a thong while laying on a bed at the bay having your picture taken and having to do walk down an imaginary fashion runway at one of the stores in the mall with an odd outfit on. Anyways like I said it was a girls only night so I don't know for sure all the chaos that was caused, I do know that Nicole and everybody had a good time together. Happy birthday Nicole!

Hilarious!!

This is by far the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Sienna loves the "Bumbo" chair we got her today.

My cousin Roy and Renee's Baby Anders meets Sienna for the first time. These two babies were in the hospital and the same time but didn't have a chance to meet.

Elizabeth's 26th Birthday

This last year has been a huge year for Elizabeth. She graduated as an RN, got her first nursing job. found out she was pregnant, hade Sienna and much much more. Elizabeth is truly an amazing woman and I have to say that I am so proud of all she has done. She is a great wife, friend, and mother. I find myself everyday thanking god for blessing me with such a great companion. Here are some pictures from her birthday and a couple others.





I had to censor this photo because of partial baby nudity.

well,on sunday the weather was a bit more like spring so we headed up to the playground with Sienna!!The next little while is quite busy for us so there should be some more frequent posts.Sienna now weighs 12lbs 4oz.We have also decided to end our coffee table dinner era and begin family table time era.Doesn't Sienna look lik e she fits so nicely in her highchair??!!We are having sooooo much fun with our little giggle monster these days,what a blessing!!!!!!!!!!

New Quilt!!!!!!!!!!!

So, for Valentines Day my little Sienna recieved a really special gift from her Grandma cowley.Who is soooo talented in making quilts! Sienna already has two play quilts, but this one is her special quilt and she sleeps on the soft, purple side every night.These pictures don't do the detailing justice, but you can see just how cute it is.Look how cute that little girl is , by the way!

Jolly Jumper!?!?!?!

O.K. so were kind of psycho parents that push our child to do stuff she shouldn't do for a little while. Tonight Valentines we just had a nice night at home with our little family. Just for kicks we decided to put Sienna in her jolly jumper and see what happened. At first she just did a couple spin moves which were impresive(to us), then she actually started to sort of push up and kind of bounce. It was really cute(to us). Hope everyone had a great Valentines and enjoyed time with your loved one. Bye

Sienna gets more beautiful every day!!

Sienna has to learn how to party, she's such a light weight.

Sienna has been such a blessing in Elizabeth's and my life. We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful, well behaved and hilarious baby. We are so thankful for here personality which is starting to come out now and for her health. All is going well with us. The days are such a blur, I wish we could add a few more hours to the day. I guess if I stayed up past 9:30/10:00 it might help. Elizabeth is doing great. She is running a few times a week and looks amazing although honestly I do miss that little belly sometimes. I thought it was the most adorable thing when she had it(but I know with the belly comes another little one, so.....I'm good). I have been booking more wedding's for the summer and fall and can't wait to be involved in all those wedding's. Our landlords are putting the house up for sale come March or April so we will be looking for new accomidation fairly soon. If anyone has a lead on a 2 or 3 bedroom place for reasonable let us know. Well your pretty much caught up with us so that's all for now.

Brisco wedding Slideshow

Just thought I would put this Slideshow on the site because I've had a few people want to look at it. The quality is the lowest quality so that it would fit on the page but at least it gives you the idea. This summer I have a set of Engagement photo's to do as well as 5 and a half weddings. Hope you enjoy. Just click two times in the middle of the video screen to play it.

Mix of the last few weeks

Well a week ago my mom was here for two weeks to see Sienna. She came and stayed at our house and helped us out with the daily chores of parenthood. We got to go out on a couple of dates as Mom took Sienna for a few hours. It's nice to know Mom will be back in May to spend time with Tricia and Justin's baby. Some pictures below are from the museum...yes the museum!

Also today was our little Sienna's first set of shots at the clinic. they had to give her 4 different needles 2 in each leg. It was actually quite heartbreaking to watch because it hurts alot. Sienna went from happy to screaming.

This is the dedication dress Tricia made for Sienna. It's pretty impressive. Lucky Pastor Ron.
