syd 22 months!

mommy's little helper. sydney talks talks talks. she has such a cute personality. i wish i could remember all the things she says because she is funny...guess i need to start writing them down. she gets me laughing all the time! i just love this sweet girl!

 

syndey loves to help me with laundry. she sits up on the dryer and puts the soap in and then stirs it in with the foon. (spoon) sydney can say her s's so i am not sure why she continues to say foon for spoon. its cute though.

 

syd up on the counter with her coloring book. recently she has really started liking to color. maybe she will be an artist like her dad!

 

picking the matos! whenever sydney is outside playing she always ends up in the garden. she LOVES picking the matos! (tomatoes) then she feeds them to copper and oscar (hope they are good for dogs too) Notice copper patiently waiting for her to hand him one.

 

Our first time planting carrots! they were yummy too.

 

this little girl is a ham! while i attempt to do laundry one morning she curlers up in the towels! haha. she says, "i'm in daddys towels."

powell trip

what a fun time we had at powell this year! we are very excited to be a part of this awesome house boat. sydney had such a fun time playing with all the "big kids". she slept very good at night and took her naps too! i thought the life jacket would be a little struggle...but she had no problem wearing it the whole time! syd also loves the water. she wanted to jump in the water every time we stopped the boat (ski boat) and then she would cry when it was time to get back in. the weather was beautiful...hot and sunny! we had one day of wind and that was all. we really had so much fun...surfing, skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, eating, playing. Josh provided our crafts and nail painting...haha! we had so much fun we are looking forward next year, and the next and the next!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

starvation reserviour

summer has been busy for us. we had both family reunions back to back. the first was yellowstone and next weekend we went to starvation with criags family. we had fairly good weather...it did rain a few days. not to worry we can always play cards in grandmas motorhome. we also rented a nice motorhome for us...its the only way to camp. sydney LOVED the motorhome. i had a hard time keeping her away from the steering wheel and all the buttons up there. i think she thought it was our new house? now every time she sees a motorhome on the road she says "like grandma's motorhome mama". we had a great time despite a little rain. the weather was still warm and the water was good too. the first day we were there was Thursday and there were hardly any boats on the water. like us and one other person was all...then we realized that the campgound was closed and we pretty much had the whole lake to ourselves! could not figure out why they were doing construction in the camp ground in august?? but it was nice for us!!! friday was good too...and then by the weekend there were a few more boats. we ate, built sand castles, skied, wakeboarded, played cards, hunted scorpions and had a lot of fun! probably the last weekend of boating around here. powell in 3 weeks though! ;)
