Tahoe vacation and Brady the shredder

We spend 5 days up in Tahoe with our families and the Smiths.  It was the best time!  Braydon and Connor were hilarious together.  They are so much alike, they both love superheroes and are into imaginary play.  They ran around the condo in Batman costumes and played in the snow together having snowball fights and sledding down the mountain on their bums.  Siena and Delaney are both walking and are super smiley.  They would just walk around laughing and clapping their hands, trying to grab their brothers toys.

Brady and Connor snowboarded for the first time too.  We rented them a snowboard.  Braydon was unreal!  He is a total natural, would charge down the mountain and not fall!  We were blown away!  Squaw Valley had a kids festival going on so they had a huge Snow Castle that they played around in, they had smores by fire pits too and tubing.  Brady didn't really like the tubing part but Connor loved it.

It was such a great time, the weather was perfect, the snow was amazing and the memories will stick forever!

Siena Rose's Baptism in Tahoe

We decided to Baptize Siena at the church we were married at and where her brother was baptized:  Our Lady Queen of the Snows in Squaw Valley by Father Bob on Febraury 16th.

Her Godparents are Kim Greene and Chris Smith.

It was such a fun week.  We flew up on Wednesday and stayed through until Monday.  We stayed at the condo and rented one across the grass as well.  All these people came to see Siena on her special day:  Mimi and Grampy, Grandma & Grandpa Schwarz, Aunt Tistin, Aunt Kim, Rick, Jake, Jesse, and the whole Smith family (Chris, Meleesa, Connor and Delaney).

The Baptism was so special.  It was just us and Father Bob in a private ceremony.  Siena chatted a bunch during the ceremony shrieking and yelling "yeah!"  There was a cool moment where she was reaching her arms up to the statue of Christ and did pretty well when the ice cold water was poured on her head.

After we all went out to lunch at Jake's on the Lake, including Father Bob.  It was a great time!

Siena is officially a walker at 10 months old!

Our little peanut is walking!  It started a few weeks ago with a step or two but the last couple days she is fully walking everywhere!  It's so adorable to see because she is so small and still doesn't have a lot of hair so she looks almost too young to be cruising around on two feet :)  She will walk and clap her hands all excited.
