Sydney Kat and her "Cat" Scan

As some of you may know Syd has this habit of randomly throwing up when she is asleep. There is no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it happens for a week straight some times only 2-4 times a month and has been on going for over a year. She has been tested for Celiac Di ease, milk allergies, and just letting it work it's course yet it is still happening so finally at her last appt. her Dr. came up with a theory that maybe it's seizures!! WHAT??? So that meant we had to have a CT Scan. Our baby was so brave the only time she got truly upset was when they had to put the IV in which was a feat the 1st RN could get it and blew her vain so they took her up to Peids where they are so awesome with the little ones and were able to get it done with minimal screaming. The CT Scan it's self was not too bad it was just like a really bad carnival ride. Now we just have to watch for any reaction to the contrast (dye) they put in her brain. Next waiting for the results.....

Best Day Ever

Okay even though we have been to Dland twice already this week we decided what the heck one more a day, and decided to take Grandma for an early Sunday treat. And we are so glad that we did it turned out to be one of the BEST trips ever!!! We got there bright and early (8am) and it was empty and we were able to get on tons of rides.

Like Dumbo

and Nemo (only waited 10 min WOW).


Then the best part, we surprised Grandma with lunch reservations at the Blue Bayou (the restaurant in the Pirates ride) and it was great, food, service, everything. And as we were waiting for the bill (which was a bit pricey) the manager came up and told us that they were very sorry but the building had to be immediately evacuated!!! We told her no problem we just had to pay our bill and she said not to worry about it sorry for the inconvenience and have a magical day, we even offered to come back later and pay but she said no thanks just have a great day. Can you believe it....turns out the reason for the evacuation was due to a small earthquake.

Then on our way out we hit the parade at the right time, even getting front row seats which meant Syd and I got to be apart of it all and walk in the Conga line. What a great day!

Another Day Another Pool Party

We had another pool party at Auntie Kyss's this time we were joined by a few of our good friends, Wella, Justin, Grammy, Trevor and puppy Axel and of course...

our best buddy Ella bella (according to Syd) and Nina :)

Pool Day

It has been so stinking hot here! So to beat the heat we have been going over to Auntie Kyss's house for mini pool parties. Sydney just loves her Auntie Kyss and gets so excited when we go, I'm sure getting to play with Tiffy cat and Rufus doesn't hurt .

Ships in the Night

Well more like strollers at Disneyland really. Amy, Jason and Ryan were down for a whole week (they were on a family vacation at Disneyland) so we met up with them for a few hours on Wed. Then again with Daddy on Fri. for a few more hours. Unfortunately they were very short visits, but they had lots of family commitments, so we took what we could :)

The girls (Amy's sister Jenny and her little Maddie met up with us both nights)

4th of July

Seeing as the older girls of this crazy clan just got back from New Orleans the day before, we decided to have a very (and we mean very) low key 4th this year. We went and picked up a small pool for Syd (hopefully the last one we will ever buy as we finally found a house ,with a pool :) and have just started escrow ) and hung out.

Our little fish loves to jump and splash.

Taking a break and having a snack ahhh. what a relaxing day.

The City That Care Forgot...part 2

Wow New Orleans was quite a trip. We were there for 6 days so you can imagine how many pics I ended up with so here are just the highlights. It was a great place to be everyone was just so friendly. We will surely be going back someday.

Tat & I hanging at the pool.

At the world famous Cafe Du Monde for cafe au lait & beignets. They really were the best in the city we even brought some mix home to try it ourselves. Needless to say it wasn't quite the same.

the floor was white from all the powder sugar they put on them Yummm.

We met this great artist Oscar at the french market who made awesome wearable art. They were so bright and so unique, and once again such a friendly guy. Check out his creations here
