Things I Love about Sydney
*I could stare at Sydneys face for hours on end because it seems she always has a new expression to show me. She can go from content, to happy, to anxious, to sad, to playful all in 30 seconds. It makes me laugh every time. I have tried for so many hours to capture some of those expressions. She
always seems to know what I want when I bring my camera out.
* I love how when i pick up her up out of bed she clings to me for just a minute as if she has been extremely sad without me
*I love how you can tell when its her bedtime. No guessing. She is happy one minute, and the next she doesn't want to do anything. She doesn't want to be held, she doesn't want to stand on the floor (which is her new fav), she doesn't want to do any number of things. That's when you know it's bedtime or nap-time.
*I love how Jake takes care of her the first hour when he gets home from work, so I can sneak in an extra hour of sleep. Unless he is really tired, of course (or she wakes me up first).
* I love she gets so excited to go outside. Makes me want to go outside more often. Which is good in helping me loose weight. But not on days when its windy. Like today. I'm pretty sure some tree branches have been broken already.
* I love the way she concentrates so hard when she is eating her cheerios. She stares at her tray, while moving both hands to pick up a cheerio, and which ever hand gets it puts it in her mouth. Or she plays move from hand to hand and then feeds it to the dogs.

Alyssa 23rd Birthday and Shaylas 20th Birthday
I didn't expect much for my birthday because we had just paid bills,
so we didn't have any money til payday. But Jake surprised me and made
me cake and bought some enchiladas to eat. All before work. Such a sweet guy. Shaylas birthday we celebrated on Sunday the 6th before my family left. That weekend was fairly busy. |
| Shaylas Cake-gluten free chocolate. OMG-so delicious. |

Mom's Birthday
My mother is a wonderful person. I love her so much. She is then nicest, and one of the most patient ( I have to say most, because I remember when I was a teenager and it felt like that wasn't the case) Moms in the world. Happy Belated Birthday Mom.
P.S. Mom we really need an updated picture of just the two of us. We haven't had one since ...................... Well in November of 2007 when we were in Florida. That is almost 5 years ago. There has been a wedding, a baby, and graduating (pictured above) all since then.

Diablo 3 Weekend
On Tuesday May 15th Diablo 3 came out in stores. Jake and I had pre-ordered ours and got them on Wednesday. On Friday evening after Jake woke up, we packed up and headed to Cane Beds for a Diablo marathon. We didn't really do much friday night but eat. Saturday we picked up in Act 2 and played all day. Except when we had to take care of Sydney and Eat. At Midnight on Saturday Rhians power company shut off the power to do some repairs. So we ate ice cream and went to bed. Jake and I stayed up til 3 Watching the first Underworld movie. It was pretty good. Then on Sunday, Sydney woke us up at 7:30 AM, so we feed her, played with her, and then we all fell back asleep around 9 AM. Rhian and Nicole still weren't up by then. Sydney then woke up at Noon, so i feed her and woke Jake up because I wanted to finish the last act of the game and get headed home. So we finished the game around 3 PM, packed up and stopped by Lydia's for a visit. Her yard was finished so we sat on it and played, while the dogs ran around. We had locked them up outside, so Jake had hosed them off when we got there to get rid of the cane beds dirt.
We ate pizza and honey dew melon for dinner. At that time I had forgotten until we were on the freeway headed for home. But the Annular Solar Eclipse was happening right then. Jake and I sorta of were able to see it on the drive. At one point we were going to stop, but all the exits and back roads were covered with cars. I mean cars and people were everywhere along the entire freeway from Toquerville to Cedar City.

Sydney is 10 Months Old
Dear Sydney-
You are a little over ten months at the time that this was written. So much has happened in the last little bit. You have your own way more than not. You eat what you want and feed the rest to the dogs daily. You are very adept at picking up a cheerio with your finger and thumb and dropping on to the floor and then leaning over to see which dog ate it. In fact more than half of the cheerios end up that way.
A few things happened this past month
-you had your first ER visit
-first ear infection
-first time at Copperton Park
-first time seeing your great uncle johnny.
-you now have 7 teeth (4 on top, 3 on bottom), and I think a couple more are on there way
-you are very good at hiding food in your checks and chewing on it whenever you want. I now have to check your mouth before I put you down for naps.
-you now how to move your knees to crawl, but instead of going forward you go backwards.
-first time in Ephraim, UT. ( We went there to help Aunt Sarah earn extra credit in math because the teacher needed to check vitals on infants younger than a year for his EMT course. We also drove to Provo to visit Gr. and Gr. Aunt Sarah did some shopping at Victoria Secret, you ate some fried rice, and Grandpa feed you most of his gelato ).
I can't believe how much has changed. I am constantly trying to keep the house clean-which others days it looks way better than others. You are always wanting to be on the move if you're not eating or sleeping. I still take naps with you just so I am energized when trying to get things accomplished throughout the day. We go on walks a few times a week now and you love it. You just stare at everything, not really moving or making nose. I swear you could be asleep if I couldn't see your face.
I still can't believe everything that has happened and all the changes that have been made since you came into this world. But time has to slow down, Mommy is still trying to lose 15 pounds before your first birthday. Okay?
We love you so much sweetheart. When your daddy has had enough sleep-you and he play all the time. It seems the only time you don't want daddy is when you're hungry or crying. At least I feel needed.
Love,
Mommy
