Sierra and I were just walking home from daycare and she sniffled. I said, "do you need some medicine for your sniffles?" She said, "no my sniffles are gone to their home, they're in my brain watching t.v. now and it hurts." She said, "my sniffles are hurting my brain." I asked her if she had a headache and she said, "no, it's just the sniffles have the t.v. to loud."Kids!

This Easter was fun. The Easter Bunny left a trail of eggs and skittles to a hidden Easter basket full of toys and candy for Sierra. She woke me up to tell me that the Bunny had given her a lot of stuff! She showed me all the things and was really excited. We ate brunch and dinner with a few friends and Sierra got to spend time with her best friend, Jaxson. I got some great photos of the

Christmas morning was fun this year. Sierra was really into it. She woke up and asked me for some milk, then I asked her if Santa had come. She said, he hadn't. I walked her out to the living room and asked her if he had been here again, and her eyes lit up. She couldn't believe that he had come when she was sleeping. She really thought he was going to come and spend time with us, like a

He thought she was very brave and sociable. . .That night we got ready to go to our church Christmas party.

Sierra decided to be a scary cat for Halloween. She was so excited about Halloween this year. She had a blast Trick or Treating, she danced and skipped to every house. Her bag weighed about 2 lbs afterwards. She told me in the car, on our way to Talisha's house, "Mom, I'll try not to be too scary, but I'm a scary cat." Then she growled.Talisha and Sierra were both cats for Halloween

For the fourth of July we joined my friend, Rebecca, and her family for a picnic at Rebecca's aunt's house. Her aunt lives in a very well-to-do neighborhood and has a beautiful house. Sierra had a blast with all the kids and their toys! Then, as it got darker, the folks in the neighborhood started lighting fireworks. I explained to Sierra they would be loud, but she was still pretty startled

Lately I've been writing down some of the prayers that Sierra has said because they are so cute and innocent. I want to show them to her in the future. Anyway, here are two of my favorite prayers:Dear Ebonly FahderThank you for TonyThank you for apple sauceName, AmenDear Ebonly FahderThank you for birds outsideFor Mickey MouseThank you for my parentsAmenSometimes she'll remind me to say thank

More pictures from when I stayed with my friend, Talisha, for a few days. Jaxson, Talisha's son, is Sierra's best friend, so they had a blast.Sierra was being sassy in the picture below...she was doing her fake cry routine. Jaxson This is her, "I'm so mad at you! routine."

I had to stay with a friend for a couple days and Sierra was thrilled because she got to spend some time with her best friend, Jaxson. Of course, she wasn't happy ALL the time, here she is with her famous "I'm mad at you mom" look. And....back to happy.

I took Sierra to Pojos (kinda like Chucky Cheese) one rainy day and let her ride all the rides. It cost me a ridiculous amount of money! She won 54 tickets on the games...do you know what 54 tickets got? A lollipop, ONE lollipop...that's it! But, she had a great time, that's all that matters right? Same day...just messing around in Sierra's room and eating peanut butter sandwhiches. (above) She's

Uh, so here they are: That same lady also forgot to post pictures of Sierra's trip to San Fransisco to visit her dad's family (in November '08), so here they are: Justin's Grandma, Justin, Jaylene, Justin's dad, Sierra Justin's sisters and nephew: Jazman, Jessica (don't know the kids name)Justin and Sierra

I still haven't picked up a new camera. Sierra has been frustrating me lately. I'll put her to bed and then she'll be all sneaky and turn her bathroom light on and read books and play. I'll notice the light on, go in and put her back to bed. Then later she'll do the same thing. This happens 2-4 times a night. Sometimes, in the morning, I'll go in her room and she'll have fallen asleep

I have no pictures to post because I have no camera, but I thought I'd let you all know what we've been up to. Sierra is growing like a weed and she gets smarter every day! She loves to bargain with me...like "Mom I will go to bed if you let me watch 3 more shows." (Shows are movies or cartoons.) She's also becoming quite the little nudist, yes I said nudist. She likes to run around the

I woke up one day and decided to cut my hair. I went to the salon and had them cut off 13 inches and then some. I donated the hair to Locks of Love. I feel completely liberated w/ all that hair gone!

Hello all! This past summer has been very busy in the Vinson-Perez household. As most of you know, I struggled with breast cancer this summer. I was diagnosed in April and I started chemotherapy right away. I spent a lot of time in the hospital with an IV delivering poison into my body. It wasn't much fun. Good thing is I didn't lose my hair (even though I recently cut 13 inches of it off).

For a while Sierra was terrified of water, but now she can't get enough of it! She still doesn't like her hair washed or water to get on her face, but she loves to play with the hose and sprinkler. Sierra likes to pretend make me dinner now. She'll bring me a plate from her little kitchen and say something like, "here's some spaghetti mom." Then she'll watch me "eat" it and ask, "you want

Sierra in the tub looking all grown-up. So, it's been quite a while since I've blogged, and I apologize for that. I recently started school again and it has demanded a lot of my time...I mean, ALL my time. Sierra has grown signifacently since my last blog, as you can see in the following photos. Her mind has also been doing some growing and here are a few things she has learned or said in the

Sierra has been sucking on a pacifier since she was born. She loves her "Nookie," as she calls it. About a month ago I noticed a rash above her upper lip. The rash just wouldn't go away no matter what I used on it, so I took Sierra to the doctor. He said it was a rash caused by a fungus which probably grew at night on her lip because of the pacifier. He told me I would have to take her "

Well, I had a bunch of pictures but I can't find them.. I'll have to post them later. But, here's a picture of my little girl in her jammies. She knows how to unzip things and get out of her pajamas now. In fact, the other night I heard her in her room making loud noises, so I went in the check on her. I found her completely naked, standing in her crib. When I approached her she handed me

I thought it would be fun to sneak up on Sierra while she was reading in her tent. It's so cute when she reads to herself. She pretends that someone else is there and points out the pictures on each page. Lately she's been saying the cutest stuff

On Thanksgiving day Sierra helped me and a friend finish painting my living room. Then we ate Boiled Dinner a moist ameretto cake. Afterwards we went to the annual Festival of Trees, which is a fundraiser put on by St. Alphonsus hospital. The trees were just beautiful! Sierra had fun looking at all the lights and playing with the stuffed animals in the gift shop. Of course her favorite stuffed

My friend, Talisha, and her boyfriend, watched Sierra one Saturday while I was at work. They went to the zoo with their children and some family. I guess Sierra was very well behaved and had a good time. After I got back to pick up Sierra, Talisha's son, Jaxson, and Sierra took a bath and then we hung out for a while. It was a fun day and I'm grateful to have such great friends! (Talisha and

My friend, Talisha, took some pictures of us swimming in August. She just now downloaded them off her camera and gave them to me. So, here's a few cute pictures of Sierra and me. What a fun day!This little boat was a big hit with the kiddos! Sierra just loved pushing this little table around the pool. Rearranging furniture is a favorite game of hers.

Gina inspired me to write a few things that Sierra says or does that I think are precious.Sierra turned two on October 5, 2005 and since then she has started saying "min" a.k.a. "mine." She doesn't just say it, she gives a dirty look to go with it. The other day I asked her to stop doing something and she told me "no, don dink so" (no, don't think so). She has also caught on to when I tell the

I take so many pictures of Sierra in the tub because she's so happy there...not to mention she can't run away and ruin my picture. I was playing around with my camera and decided to use the Sepia color option. I think these pictures turned out well. My favorite is the top one. I love this little girl! What a cutie pie! You gotta love that precious face! This last picture is just funny! I

I didn't plan anything elaborate for Sierra's birthday. In fact, I didn't plan anything at all. At the last second I called a couple friends and had them over for lasagna and cake. But, that didn't matter, because Sierra seem to some how know the whole day was about her. She wasn't interested in her cake at all and I practically had to force feed her to get a couple pictures. She just

Lately my life has been really busy. I don't get home from work until 6:30pm, so I only get a few hours with Sierra on the weekdays. She goes to bed at 8 pm and then I relax. By 8pm I'm so tired that I forget to post and even if I'm not tired, I'm to lazy to do it. I guess what I'm saying is, sorry for not posting.Anyway, I've been thinking a lot lately about how hard it is being a single mom

So, I had to take lots of pictures of Sierra today because she had her hair up in pig-tails. Her daycare provider does her hair sometimes, and she always does it so perfectly. When I do Sierra's hair I can never find the part and she wiggles so much I never get all the hair up. When Chris does it, even while watching 5 other kids, she gets it perfect every time!

I bought Sierra a drum at the dollar store and I think she likes it more than all her expensive toys combined. She wanted to take it to bed with her the night I got it.

Isn't that picture precious! I caught her playing with her refridgerator magnets and she was laughing and having a good time. I love it when I can make her laugh. We have this throaty noise we make to eachother, and whenever she does it I do it and so on. It makes her laugh so hard when I make that noise. I always do it when I want her to smile for the camera.

Justin's squadron took individual pictures of all the troops leaving for Iraq, then they put them on these pillow cases for the troops to give to their families. Justin gave this pillow case to Sierra. When she saw the picture, she gave it a kiss and said "da da." I think it's a good idea, she'll see it everynight before bed and first thing every morning. So, she won't forget him.

Sierra got a some little stickers from her doctor after she bravely got 3 shots! She was a champ through the whole thing and didn't cry at all. Anyway, I put one of the stickers on her nose and she thought that was funny, so she put one on mine. Later on, she was watching Baby Einstien, I went in to check on her and she has the sticker on her nose. I laughed so hard! That same night I took a

Just a quick post to say that I haven't taken any pictures recently and therefore have nothing to post about. Besides, I am still (after 3 months) looking for a job and I'm starting to freak out! I'm grateful that I still have a roof over my head and food to eat, but who knows how long I can sustain that. Well, I don't want to be a downer, so I'll stop here. I'll post some pictures soon.

While in Utah, we headed to the Tree House Museum in Ogden. The kids had so much fun! At first I had Sierra's child-leash on her, but since the place was built for children, I took it off and let her run free. (Me running after her, of course.) There was so much for the kids to play with. All the areas had a them, like the music room, the building room, the reading room, the hospital room, there

I don't have any pictures to share and I'm sorry. But, as always, Sierra did something cute today. I was feeling a bit tired and down today and I was laying on the couch being lazy when Sierra handed me a dirty, stinky diaper and said "die" (meaning diaper). I told her to put the "die" in the trash please. She walked to the kitchen and I heard her trying to open the lid then I heard a bang, so I

As the day begins Tony is excited and runs to the window to greet the sun and watch the people as they go to their cars.Soon the little hairless one wakes up and tries to snuggle. There's not much to be done but to lay here and enjoy the attention, she's not so bad anyway. The day is ending and soon the sun will be down.

Here's Sierra in the Boise river at Anne Morrison Park. This is my favorite park in Boise because it has everything a park should have... a huge playground (with swings), a gigantic fountain the kids and adults can play in and it's right next to the river. Sierra likes it too. Sierra made a new friend and she followed her around most of the time we were there. She had a blast manuevering in

Let me explain these photos. Sierra was playing in her lid/tupperware drawer last night and she would take a bowl or lid out and then she would place a coco puff in the bowl or lid. When she ran out of lids she started placing two or three coco puffs in the containers. Then she put all the coco puffs back into her spill-proof bowl and returned all the containers to the drawer. It was very

Sierra is so cute! She does so many adorable things that are unique to her. Here are some of the things she does that I think are worth putting in my memory bank and embarrassing her with later on in life:She has a slight case of OCD and she shows it by always having to have everything in its' place and just so. One good example is her books, she likes to throw all of her books off the bookshelf

Yesterday I took Sierra to Sandy Point Beach up at Lucky Peak Lake. This was her first time at the beach and I was excited to see how she would like it. When we first got there she was excited to see all the people and the different atmosphere. We walked down to the beach area and I started to place her on the sand and she totally freaked out. She wasn't thrilled with the way the sand felt

In march Justin took Sierra to his home town of San Fransisco, CA to visit his family. They got to see his two sisters, his brother, his dad and mom, and Sierra's 3 cousins...Allysa (9 yrs old), Blaine (21 months), and Jaylene (23 months). Sierra had a great time and I'm totally jealous that I wasn't there to see all the kids together. But, here are a few pictures of the trip...Justin

Make video montages at onetruemedia.comSierra is slowly warming up to taking her baths. She has a good time playing with her toys. She's not much of a splasher, like most kids are, but she splashes every once in a while. She's also doing better at letting me clean her up. She use to scream and fuss when I washed her hair, but I've learned a few distraction tricks to help her cope with it.

This is what true "bed head" looks like. I took the photo this morning while Sierra was watching her Baby Einstien video. And, if you look below, you will see how my other baby wakes up in the morning...

This is one of the pictures taken at KiddieKandids in California. Sierra and her cousins had a photo opt the other day and the pictures turned out fabulous! Their outfits were just the cutest and I'm so proud of Justin for doing Sierra's hair and making her look wonderful! Above left to middle: Blaine, Jaylene, Sierra, and AllysaJustin took Sierra to California last Sunday to visit his family.

I gave Sierra a bath and afterwards she decided to take all the toys out of the tub herself (after I started to dress her, but never got to finish). LIke most kids, Sierra loves to be naked! The other night she was pushing around her little mobile toy in the nude and it was the most hillarious thing I ever saw...Justin and I couldn't stop laughing. The funniest part was how proud she looked;

I love playing with Sierra these days. She's so responsive and happy. My favorite thing to do is tickle her, her laugh is like music to my ears and her smile is so big! (The first picture was taken while I was tickling her.) She also likes it when I say "I'm gonna getcha!" She smiles then runs from me and I crawl after her. She always heads to the couch and throws herself at it, like that's

Make an on-line slide show at onetruemedia.comMy friend, Gorgean, was in Idaho visiting her daughter, Tina, and we had dinner together. It was a lot of fun catching up and introducing her to Sierra. I hadn't seen her in a long time, but she looked just the same. We talked about old times and caught up on the present. It was really great!

Sierra's favorite sitter, Tanya, asked to take her to a school basketball game, she had taken Sierra once before and had such a great time that she wanted to do it again. So, Sierra went to her 2nd high school basketball game and then had some ice cream. "Ice cream! Yum, Yum!'

Left: 2 Feb 2007 Right: July 2006Sierra is growing so much! When people ask me how my baby is doing I always correct them and say "she's a toddler now." I mean, look at her, she's so big and strong and smart! Everyday she amazes me in some new way. Like the way she concentrates on putting her shaped blocks into the correct shaped hole. Or how she watches me intently and then copies me exactly. Or

I've spent the past week without my beloved Sierra. It's been a lonely and depressing week, I never reallized how much joy and fullfillment she gives me on a daily basis. I used to be unhappy after work and I would think, "oh boy, now I have to go home and take care of my kid," as if it were a burden. Of course, once I would pick Sierra up from daycare it didn't feel like a chore anymore, but

Okay, I tried to get some better photos of Sierra's earrings and the below shots were the best I could do (working with a little wiggle bug like Sierra)... And then she had to play on the phone.... The next morning her and Tony watched Baby Einstien together, they are best friends!

'Getting started' 'After a quick pause to grab a sucker for Sierra, the cutting begins' 'A snip, snip here and a snip, snip there . . .' 'here a snip, there a snip . . .' 'everywhere a snip, snip!' 'One haircut . . . 'and one ear-peircing later, and what do you get?' 'One very cute little girl!!' Yesterday I decided it was time for Sierra to get a hair cut. Her hair would just hang in her face

Sierra had a fun time ripping open the presents. After she opened them she was exhausted and decided to watch Baby Einstien instead of playing with her toys. We had a great Christmas!

I think Sierra looks so cute in her oversized jeans and striped turtleneck.

Sierra loves to try on my shoes! She tries to walk in them, but she usually fails, she needs to grow a bit more first.

Sierra wasn't to pleased when I left her on Santa's lap. I think she thought I wasn't going to return.

Sierra and I play "peekaboo" all the time. It's funny to watch her hide her face because she doesn't cover up her whole face she just puts her hand up there and then I have to pretend that I don't see her. Then she'll take her hand down, I'll say "peekaboo" and she'll laugh.

I didn't take Sierra to daycare because she has a little cold, so we are spending quality time together. Look at her pretty eyes! Aren't they amazing?!

"News traveled fast of the great pink chair and kids of all ages and sizes are showing up to try it out! " Okay, maybe not, but my friend, Talisha, came over with her 4 month old son, Jackson, the other night and we decided to see if he liked the chair... he looked funny in a big, pink chair, but he was able to sit there for quite some time.
