More Pictures from Sierra's Birthday

Sierra is now 1.........

There has been a lot going on in the Whiteside household and I will let the pictures do the talking. Just to give you a few updates:

Easter was fabulous. Not only did Sierra do an Easter egg hunt at Nana's and Grandpas, with cousin Brady, but John was able to be home on Easter Sunday after a 3 day stay in the hospital. All is fine, but he had to have a plate put onto his clavicle after breaking it during Mt Biking.

Sierra had her first birthday, which we calibrated with lots of friends and family. The Rudolphs spent the weekend with us, and Sierra was thrilled to have lots of kids at our house playing and eating cake. I was blessed to have My aunt and mom help with all the food and preparation as well as have my long time girlfriend Cindy and her family come down to celebrate.

Sierra is talking up a storm, climbing on everything she can, going to music class once a week, playing with her friend Jack once a week, and cousin Brady on Sundays. With our newest little addition (cousin Wren), Sierra is surrounded by lots of friends and love.

With John having a few weeks off, we are off on a road trip to northern Ca. First stop is Monterrey where I am competing in a Mt Bike race, and for the first time ever, John is watching. Then were off to Santa Rosa to visit family and have a little memorial for Johns Dad. On our way home, were stopping in my home town of Simi Valley to hang out with the Rudolph's and celebrate Brandy's birthday and let the little ones have more time to play.

That about wraps up the last moth or two. I will give more details when we return from our trip, but for now I will let these pictures do the talking on how much Sierra has grown up, and all the great people in her life. Thanks to everyone for her Birthday wishes.
