ABC's

Sydney loves to sing the ABC's. She sings the whole thing almost perfect and actually understandable. She always asks me to sing with her and so I say "OK I'm ready" so today this is how our conversation went
Sydney: "Are you ready mommy?"
Mom: "Yes Sydney I'm ready."
Sydney: "Dora Ready? (pause) Boots ready? OK here we go."
And then she proceeded to sing the whole song and at the end this is what she said: "Now I know my ABC's next time won't you sing with Sydney."
She was so proud of herself and so was I :)

Long Overdue!

I know a new post has been long over due but we have been busy trying to get Sydney feeling better! After coming home from Memphis and her being sick, after about a week and a half she was not getting any better with a high fever and not sleeping well at night so I decided it was time to see the doctor! We took her in and she had a double ear infection and was one miserable girl. But through it all we have had some fun in the last couple of weeks! Here are a few highlights to go along with the pictures! :
1-Sydney has found her new sense of sytl in dressing her self.
2-She has a new battle wound that she got at Grandma's house
3-Her little rocking horse is her new best friend
She loves her doll house and likes to put everyone in their proper place. If you look closly you can see Dora and Boots in the bed and that is where they go each time we play doll house!
4-Her favorite thing to do any given day is take a bath and we have taken plenty these past few weeks with her not feeling well.

Another thing that I have been so happy about it is my house is finally getting decorated. My mom came over the other day and kicked me in the butt a little and gave me some inspiration and helped me hang some things on the walls and get some new curtains! My house is finally coming together the way I want it! Thanks mom! (Pictures will come later :)

A Fun Week

This is kind of a long post.... Sorry :)

I have not posted for a while but I really did have a good reason. This past week Sydney, my mom and dad and I went to Memphis Tennessee to see my brother and his family. They just had a new baby! Baby Brooklyn as Sydney calls her. After a long day traveling, my mom and I arrived in Memphis and just in time for Sydney and Cameron to see each other and play before it was bed time! Adam took me down to his school to look around and it was pretty cool! We loved watching the kids play together and Sydney especially liked being a little mom to the baby. We relaxed a little and I had my first taste of southern BBQ! It was so good. Sydney even loved it. The next day my dad arrived and Cameron was feeling a little under the weather so we just stayed close and played in the back yard. We went downtown on Thursday and the guys went to the Gibson Guitar museum and we took the kids to see the ducks at the Peabody hotel. We ate dinner at BB Kings and had the best ribs ever! After that Tiff got sick and it seemed like we were just passing it around. We took the kids to the mall and they have a merry go round and play place that they enjoyed! We celebrated my mom birthday on Wednesday! Happy Birthday mom- I love you! Anyway while we were all there we also decided to have a little b-day party for Cameron. his really birthday is the 14Th but a two year old doesn't know the difference so on Saturday we went to the zoo. It is such a nice zoo! We asked the kids what they wanted to see and Sydney said "pigs" and I think Cameron said "sheep" we were a little worried but they had a farm section and so all our needs were met! On Sunday Brooklyn was blessed and it was wonderful! We flew home Monday but now I have a very sick little girl on my hands. She was so miserable on the flight home but she did pretty well considering the circumstances! I have never seen her as sick as she is right now. She can barely talk and just lays on me. I selfishly love it but hope that we can get her feeling better soon! We sure missed Ryan while we were gone but were grateful to go and see them! Thanks for having us guys! We love you- Thanks every one for reading this long post- it was mostly for me to remember what we did while we were there! I need to get the pictures off my mom's camera and I will post some pictures!
