This is Sedona.
She is the youngest of my three totally amazing daughters. Tonight, she showed me what the holidays are all about. I was sitting on the couch in the living room admiring the Christmas Tree and enjoying the neighborhood lights. In walks my little one. She plops herself next to me, and with out any hesitation asks me to sing with her.
So sing we did. Christmas tune after Christmas tune… laughing all along the way. Joking the way only Sedona can. Lea and Xander joined us. The Xman added his own special brand of dancing – complete with kick ball change, marching, and even a little break dancing. Sierra and Savannah joined in adding more love and laughter. And ending our little “program” with our own rendition of the 12 days of Christmas - ”and a pickle in a white plastic tree”. All the glitter, tinsel, and lights are the outward expression of what this season is about. LOVE.
Thanks Sedona, you rock.
Kids these days never cease to amaze me. They are so tech savvy. Sedona is always leaving me little suprises on my phone. Here is what I recently found while perusing through some pictures in my phone’s photo album…
Haha… these cracked me up. I don’t even know how she put the bubbles.
I guess we know how Sedona REALLY feels…lol. Kids… gotta love ‘em.
A couple weekends ago, we spent our Saturday at Timp High watching the girl’s at their end of year Dance Recital. Savannah and Sedona both were involved with Jazz and Ballroom this past year. Their first year in.. it was so fun to see the result of all their hard work. And it was great to see the advanced teams dance… and the inspiration they are to my girls. The day started with rehearsal at 11am and ended with the final show past 10pm. Even after such a long day and the major investment $$$ into the show, costumes, tickets, and classes – we can hardly wait for the next season to start up again!

Mother’s Day was sweet. My dear children all made me wonderful handmade gifts.. all from the heart. I loved all of them. It is amazing how well my girls know me. Savannah gave me a book about us with hand drawn pictures and a whole bunch of coupons for help around the house. (something she knows I often need) Sierra gave me a very sweet note and a pretty flower pen.. one that hopefully I won’t lose now!
Sedona was so excited to give me this book. My little one ended up being terribly ill yesterday, but she still read me the story she wrote and illustrated. Its a book about things that are opposite, and things that are alike between us. Two of my favorite pages…
Obviously we are big soda drinkers…lol. I should work on that.
For the record, I don’t make it a habit of eating a WHOLE chicken…lol.
Gotta love em.
So I guess you know it is time to have a little talk about the birds and the bees.. when this coversation takes place. . .
Observations made while Lea was giving Xander a bath recently…
Lea noticed Sedona watching while she cleaned Xander’s bits. She had a really digusted look on her face. Sedona asks her aunt… “He has one of those?”
“yup” answered Lea, trying not to laugh.
“Will he have it forever?” (sedona)
“Uh, yes Sedona, he will. It’s what makes him a boy.”
to which Sedona replied. . .”Did I have one when I was a baby?”
“No Sedona”
Needless to say, Lea thinks I need to educate my little one. When Sierra caught wind of it, Sierra almost flipped out. “Sedona. Thats what seperates the girls from the boys!”. Youth. Gotta love it.
Sedona is 7 today. My baby… my baby is 7. Happy Birthday my little one.
A little about Sedona
- She is the youngest of three sisters. (Sierra 12, Savannah 10, Sedona 7)
- Sedona is full of life, the spunkiest little thing you have ever met. She is wise beyond her years.
- She takes piano, jazz, and ballroom. The girl loves to shake her groove thang!
- Sedona can be a little diva. She is generally a very good girl, but she has been known to throw a divalicous fit every once in a while.
- Full of life, she is always singing, laughing, giggling, and just bringing so much joy to our life.
- The girl can TALK. (and talk and talk!)
- Her birthday is the day after her Uncle Eric!
I love you little one. Hope you have a great day!
