El Paso Part 1

The first thing Sydney did when we got to Papa's was check out all Grammy Maria's figurines. Which was quite scary because she has this strange obsession with these things she thinks they are her babies, and she wants to hold them and love them and carry them all over .

Then it was on to the pool and Papa was nice enough to heat it up a bit for us.

and finally here she is checking out the view from Papa's backyard.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Normally this time of year we are headed off to our place in Mexico, but because of all the stuff going on down there we decided to go east instead. We got a plane ticket (Syd's 1st plane ride) and went to El Paso Texas to visit Papa instead.

SK watching the planes take off while we wait for our flight.

SK and Elmo sitting pretty. She was such the good little traveler( a bag of M&M's and an ipod full of Yo Gabba Gabba didn't hurt), the only time she got upset was when we had to get off the plane.

Bouncy, Bouncy

Wow what fun. as you can see Sydney has gotten a new "toy" thanks to Grandma and Grandpa.

She just loves to bounce so the got her, her own bouncy house complete with slide. Now she spends hours in the backyard bouncing away.

A Day at the Farm

Today we took a tour of Tanaka Farms ( I had seen such fun pictures on Maddie's blog we just had to check it out for ourselves). They have an awesome strawberry tour that takes you all over and shows you all the ins and outs of a real working farm.

There was all kinds of yummy things to eat at the farm like celery, green onions, carrots, snap peas, green beans, and even cilantro. We tried everything and it's true it tastes so much better fresh.

and then the best part we all got to pick our own basket of strawberries to take home and, all you can eat while your picking.



Daddy looking way cool as he's munching down a berry

this is how it ends :)

I'm a Princess

I have to start off by telling you the funniest story. The other day Grammy took Sk to the plaza and she met a new friend Samantha. They enjoyed playing in the fountain and throwing pennies into it. When Sam's Grandma and Mommy asked Sydney what her name was she looked them straight in the eye and said Princess!!! Well ,we all know that is the truth. So I decided it was time to outfit the princess and like I said a few posts ago I'm pretty cheap so when I went to buy some dress up clothes they were outrageous. I'm pretty handy with a sewing machine so really how hard could it be to sew some tulle. (oh and on a side note when they left the fountain Sydney cried because she wanted her "monies" back from the fountain)

Here are the finished products. Pretty darn cute I think.

and of course what's a princess without her castle

all in all a day fit for royalty
