Happy Birthday Quinton!!!

Yep, you read that right. Quinton had his 29th Birthday on Saturday. I cannot believe that he is already 29, it seems just like yesterday that he was 26 and we just met. Well Quinton woke up on Saturday just like any other day and he had to go to work down in the Springs. After he got home later that day we went out to Dinner then had to go and Drop Sydney off at our friends. Quinton and his Band " Head full of Zombies" were playing that night. So Cindy and I went and watched him play for a while. When he got home that night ( around 2:40 am) our friend Tiffany set up a our table with sparkling apple cider, Strawberries, cookies, muffins, ice, and plates. It was so cute and incredibly thoughtful of her. We really do have the best friends up here. But for his birthday Quinton got a new fishing rod, a nice flashlight, Gift Card to Kohl's, and a bed chair w/ massage. ...Not bad for 29. It was a great day and to top it all off Quinton had his little girl to celebrate with him. Sydney Loves her daddy so much and everyday he walks through the door at the end of the day she gets the biggest smile on her face. Happy Birthday Quinton and we love you!!!

Yucky... Yogurt

Sydney does not like some of the Yogurt that we bought her. She disliked it so much she made these really funny faces. Naturally thinking it is funny I had to take a video of it. Enjoy!!!

It's been a while... and guess what

Well I have to apologize to everyone since it has been over month since I last updated our blog. Since we live up in the Mountains we only have really nice weather 3-4 months out of the year. So since our summers are so short I have been taking advantage of it and have been really busy. However our family is doing wonderful.

Sydney is growing so fast and at her last Dr. appointment she weighed 18 lbs and 26 1/2 inches long. She is definitely not our little girl anymore. I still cannot believe that she is about 9 1/2 months old now. She is growing and improving everyday. She now says Dad or Dadda, Mom and calls me Mom Mom, Babba, Whoa, Weee and Hi. It was the cutest thing. She also waves hello and goodbye, claps at everything ( especially if she did something really cool) and lifts her arms in above her head and says Weeee. It truly is amazing how fast they grow and develop. However, one thing she still does not do is crawl. Yep, she is a non crawling baby. She rolles everywhere and see's no point in crawling since she can roll wherever she wants. She is getting closer and we think she is going to walk before she crawls. She loves to have someone hold her fingers and she will walk everywhere. Sydney can also pull herself up to a standing position in the crib. That is probably the funniest thing she does because every time she pulles herself up she just gets the biggest belly laugh and just laughs at herself.

As for Quinton and I, we are doing wonderful. We are just having fun with our wonderful daughter and are thankful everyday that she is in our lives. Some exciting news that we have is... that Quinton, Sydney and I all get to go to Spain at the end of July and we are so excited to be there again. Quinton has a good friend that we visit and it will be wonderful to see him and his family again. Quinton also has people from his mission that he knew that also live there. So hopefully we will be able to see them too. It is truly an amazing and beautiful country and we cannot wait to show Sydney. So that means that Sydney now has her own passport and hopefully she will be okay traveling international. She is such an easy baby that we think she will be fine...but who knows. We will let you know. Well I hope this blog finds everyone well and I will try to update our blog a little more often. Click here for more pictures.
