Labor Day

It's always so much fun when we are with the BFF. Here they are starting out the day with a yummy breakfast. Sydney must really love Ryan to share her blueberries they are her favorite.

The girls spent the day at Ikea and look what we found for Ryans' room this cute table and chairs. They were so cute that we even picked up one for Syd.

The girls just could not get enough of climbing on the chairs. And yes those are matching Jammies you see. Amy and I have an unhealthy obsession with PJ's.

Arizona the Arrival

We wanted to spend Labor Day weekend with our very best friends so as you know then, we ended up where else in the AZ. I think we are the only ones who brave the arizona heat and go see Amy, Jason, and Ryan in the summer. Which really it was hotter at our house this weekend than there so ha ha.

Here we are at the start of the trip and yes we are finally in a "Big Girl" carseat and boy does it make a differance. She just loves it now that she can see the world (and it doesn't hurt that we leave at 5 am :) )

Sydney saw lightning for the first time! Look at that brooding sky.

And this was what was waiting for us at the other end YAY Ryan!!

Boys

Sydney Katherine loves her boys. She can spot a boy from a mile away. Then after she spots them she will stare them down until they look her way then it's all over. She will talk, kiss, hug cuddle what ever as long as they will let her. We better watch out. Hanging out with Uncle Juan

Giving baby Issac kisses

And cuddling Uncle Jason

Palm Springs Day 2

Our 2nd day in Palm Springs was filled with sun, pool and more pool. It was really very nice in PS this week not like you would expect for the middle of August. So we were able to spend all day at the pool which was awesome especially when you get your drinks delivered poolside. Sydney loved eating the pineapple from them and flirting with the waiters. Sydney and I braved the waterslide not once but twice.

Our little princess has a rough life :)

Palm Springs Day 1

We were lucky enough to get away to Palm Springs for a few days before the new school year starts. We stayed at the beautiful Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa. This place was spectacular. Everyone was so friendly which is great when you have a social butterfly like Sydney who loves to talk to everyone. Here is our first day. Sporting the shades while hanging at the "little pool"

While out at dinner we ran in to some funny statues. Sydney's new thing is to come up and grab your nose and yell "NOSE" As you can see she hit the jackpot!!

First day down 2 more to go...

Ryan's B-Day Bash

This weekend was Ryan's 1st Birthday. We had so much fun. There were so many little friends (all girls except for 3 wk. old Isaac) to play with.
Sydney and Mattie doing the hula.

Ryan couldn't resist trying to look for Syd's belly button.

Hanging outside with Auntie Amy and BFF Ryan.

Ryan loved her B-Day cake so much that she ate practically all of it. Where does it go??

Dinner with Grandpa

We are so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents. Sydney's grandpa makes sure to see her (and the rest of us) at least every other week, even though he is constantly traveling between here and Texas with business. Here we are at dinner and Sydney getting in some snuggle time.
She loves her Ta-Ta. (That's Syd talk for Tatiana)

Okay Syd give the beer back to grandma.
