Just messing around

I was just looking on my parents computer and I found all these cute pictures that I have never even seen! So I wan just messing around and decided to post some of them for you all to see! My mom always has these pretzles that Sydney loves. She is holding one in this picture and she always loves to come play with Grandma.
Concentrating so hard on her cartoon while taking a break from her beautiful masterpiece!

Ryan and I on Christmas day at my parents house! as I mentioned before we had such a great Christmas this year! Thank you every one.

Back to normal

My house and my life are finally back to normal after the holidays! Well sort of- Ryan has been installing phone lines and outlets all over the place. I have been so impressed by him and the things that he can do. With not a lot of experience in the electrical field he doesn't let it stop him one bit- he learns how and gets it done! I love you babe! Well we had a pretty quiet new years. We got together with some friends to play a great new game and then came home to put Sydney to bed and then watched a movie! Speaking of Sydney- I am not a very good journal writer but I wanted to record some of the things that she is doing right now because she truly is the light of my life!
* She is such a morning person and is always happy each morning when I go to get her out of her crib and I know it will be a good day when I see a smile on her face.*She loves to sing. We have so many songs that we sing in the car, during dinner just all the time.* She loves to watch Nemo in TV. I love to see how excited she gets over it each and every day!*She is such a little mom. She always says "Two babies mom Two babies" and she pushes them in strollers and feeds them and wants then wrapped in a blanket!-It is amazing to me to watch children grow and learn. I truly know they come from our Heavenly Father with their innocence and love for learning with everything around them. It is a miracle that I marvel at each and every day!
So enough rambling on but as I think about my little one and ones that will come to our family in the future- I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be a mom. We are about to add another neice to the family and I can't wait for her arrival. Even though I won't get to meet her for a while I just can't wait! Kids are just the best!

Our Home

Lots of you have been asking to see pictures of our house. Well I had this one so I decided to post it. It is kind of dark but this is the front of our new home that we just love! More pictures will come later when I get around to taking some! Enjoy

Ryan and I had a little tree in our old apartment and when we moved into our house and got it set up we relized that it was not going to work. It looked fine in our little apartment but it looked pretty sad once we put it into our living room so my wonderful husband bought me this beautiful tree and with help from his mom we got it all decorated and I have to brag a little but I was so happy how it turned out!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and Santa spoiled us all! Sydney as you can tell was so excited on Christmas morning! It was so much fun to watch her face light up! She got way to many things but we had so much fun reguardless.

On Christmas Eve was always go with Ryan's family to dinner and then a carriage ride in downtown Salt Lake. It was a blizzard outside while we were eating but the snow cleared and the carrage ride was great. We bundled up because it was freexing but Sydney didn't seem to mind.

Santa Claus

We took Sydney to have her picture taken with Santa. All week we told her we were going to go and see him and he would give her a treat. She was so excited and all week when we would say Santa she goes "Ho Ho Ho". So we woke up Saturday morning and told here we were going to see Santa today and she looked at us and stopped and said "No Santa" I was a little nervous but we were going anyway. We got her all dressed in her pretty dress and were ready to go. She had a good time running around the halls with her cousins and then it was our turn. When we walked in Santa said a big "Ho Ho Ho" and she turned so fast and looked at him and just started to scream. She was literally shaking in my arms at the thought of having to go and sit on Santa's lap. I finally just had to set her down and let her cry. The bottom picture was the very first one as you can tell she is scared out of her mind but then after a minute the top picture was the best smile she could muster. She was so cute when she got her treat from Santa she was not done crying but she choked out a "thank you Santa bye bye Santa." Then on the ride home she kept saying "Santa hold me, Santa hold me." We asked if she like Santa and she said yes, then we ask if she wanted to go back and see Santa "No!" I guess we will never forget this Santa picture where Sydney was scared to death. Hopefully next year will be better!

My New Dress

I was so excited to dress Sydney in her new Christmas dress. I just love Christmas time and by the look on Sydney's face I think she does to! She is becoming this little person and it blows my mind each and every day to watch her learn new things and be delighted by things that little girls love.

Tuckered Out

Sydney had a hard time going to nursery yesterday but once she warmed up and got playing she had a great time! On our way home I told her that it was time to take a nap. We got home and we tried to lay her down and she was not very happy. So we decided she could come out and have a snack. She was having some cheese crackers and I was helping Ryan with something in the other room. When we came back in the room this is what we saw!
She just wore herself out at nursery and this is one thing that she has NEVER done before but we just thought it was the cutest thing that she just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer!
