Happy Anniversary...

Okay, so this is a little late but o well. On March 18 Quinton and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I can not believe that 3 years have already flown by. We went out to a nice restaurant and just talked. It was a wonderful evening to just spend with my husband... the best one in the world.... sorry ladies. The funny thing is that our first Anniversary I was pregnant, 2nd one, we had Sydney, our 3rd one, I was pregnant again. Kind of a funny pattern we are following. Anyway, it has been a incredible 3 years sweat heart, may we have a eternity more. Love ya babe!!!

18 Months

First I would like to apologize that I have not written a lot about Sydney lately. I was going over our blog and realized that she has kind of been left out. So here goes, our little girl is 18 months now and is so much fun. I love it!!! She talks all the time now, some English, some her language. Quinton says it sounds like some strange language from Star Wars or something. It is hilarious. She still loves puppies and kitties and anytime she sees one she either woofs or meow's. She loves to look at her books, she has a little couch and she will sit there and go through and act like she is reading every single book. She is very much a girl, she loves to play dress up with her sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets, purses and any of my shoes she can find ( higher the heel the better). I have many pictures of her unique sense of fashion. She loves her daddy soooooo much, and even, loves to say bye-bye to anyone leaving our home. She loves to give kisses ( juicier the better). Recently she started saying Grandma or actually it comes out "Mam ma" I am "Momma/Mommy". She loves to sing, yes I said sing, dance and most of all..... talk on the phone. Anytime I am on my phone she has to talk to whoever I am, and she will. She truly is a joy in our life and we can not wait until she is a big sister. She will be awesome.

Good ole' friends...

A couple of weekends ago Quinton's good friend Jake came by for a visit from Denver for the weekend. It has been about 4 years since the last time they saw each other. It was also really nice to meet Jake for the first time too, however, I can not say the same thing for Sydney. No matter how hard we tried she was not warming up to well to Jake. I felt so bad, maybe next time she will be better. It was a wonderful weekend, Quinton and Jake got to play one night with Quinton's friend Jason. They also had a little jam session Sunday after noon. Here is a video of Jake and Quinton just playing around. Enjoy!!!

Seeing old Friends

This last week I have had a chance to see a whole bunch of old friends from my single days. I first saw Ali who was here for a week from Japan. It has been about 4 years since the last time we saw each other. We were able to have lunch and meet each others kids. Ali has two, Breck and Jade. They were so cute. It was wonderful to see her again. The next night Quinton and I went to some friends house for a birthday party. We saw a whole bunch of more friends that we have not seen in a really really long time. The last time we were all together none of us were married. Now look at us, married with kids. Where does the time go? Here are the girls, Jaquie, Janell, Britnay and Me. Then next picture is our kids, Caeven, Gavin, Sydney and Eliana. Enjoy the pictures. It was wonderful to see everyone again.

The next American Idol???

As most of you know our little girl loves to sing and dance. We always new that she was musical, even when I was pregnant with her she would always kick when she heard music or when Quinton was playing his guitar. Anyways, here is a video of Sydney singing. We think it is the cutest thing ever. Also here is a cute upclose picture of Sydney that I took. We are hoping she will try out for American Idol in about 15 years. Hope you enjoy it!!!

Valentines Day

Well this is a little late but we hope that everyone had a great valentines day. Quinton got me a beautiful red rose with a great card. Later that night Quinton, Sydney and I had a nice dinner with our friends Justin, Tiffany and their daughter Avery. It was a great dinner, and the company was even better. After dinner we watched a scary movie ( I know, I was out voted for the chick flick) and had hot sundae's. It was wonderful and the girls love playing together. I think they had more fun then we did. Hope every one's Valentines day was a great as ours.

Going to the Zoo...

Yep, you read that right. Some would think, why go to the zoo in January with 2 toddlers? However, it was a wonderful day it was actually about 48 degree's. Really nice for Colorado, so since our little girls were getting cabin fever, we took them to the zoo. It was such a wonderful day, we went with our best friends Tiffany and her daughter Avery. The girls loved all the animals ( well most of them, Sydney was terrified of the Giraffes and Gorilla's). Besides that, it was a great day just hanging out with friends.

16 Months old

Can you all believe it. Our little girl is 16 months old. Where does the time go? Sydney is the joy of our lives, she is continually changing everyday. She talks all the time to us at home, however, it is not necessarily the same thing out in public. It is wonderful to have actual conversations with her. She can tell us ( for the most part) what she wants. She still loves dogs and continues to bark anytime she See's one or hears one. She loves to play hide and go seek, being chased by us makes her run and scream like crazy. She also loves to sing and dance ( yes our little girl can shake her booty). She is very much a girl that she loves to wear shoes ( yes, she still brings the shoes to me), loves to wear jewelry, tries to put make-up on when she See's me doing it and loves to brush her hair. Yes, she is girl through and through. She still is a major daddy's girl and know she can get practically anything she wants from Quinton. And for those starring and glarring looks she gives people practically every time she See's someone, well lets just say she is still doing that. Here are some recent pictures of our little girl. Enjoy!!!

The cutest smile you will ever see

Please Mom, no pictures!!!!



The glare we love so much!!!

My little fashion Model

Our little girl Sydney is growing up to fast, she is already 16 months old... and we do not like it one bit. She talks our ear off ( mostly only at home) and laughs and plays all day. She is such a happy little girl. We love our little Sydney so much. Lately she likes to try and dress herself. One particular day while still wearing her P.J's she wanted to wear her diaper covers on her head and these really cute shoes that she has. As you may already tell she has a fashion forward sense. This is what resulted in her decisions..

A small Confesion...

As most you know I am not a huge reader. Well to put it bluntly I don't like to read at all. So when Quinton gave me a book for Christmas ( sort of a joke, sort of not), I think he was trying to tell me he wants me to read. What is this book that he gave me you ask? Twilight. So when after Quinton and I saw the movie, it got me curious and so I started to read the book. To make a long story short, I read all 4 of the Twilight Series books in 2 weeks. Yes, all 2,444 pages I read in 2 weeks. They actually were really really good. Quinton was so happy and proud of me. Even to the point where he has finished "Twilight" and is now reading "New Moon". I can not say if i will continue to always read like this, but it was a fun experience. I can not wait till the movie "New moon" come out in November!!!

Cousins and New years

Happy New Year!!! Well it is a little late but at lease I said it. The weekend after Christmas my cousin David came down from Arizona for a little visit. Actually they were here in Colorado because Erin my cousins wife's family lives in Denver. So for a day we where able to see them. It was so wonderful to see them again. It probably has been about a year and a half. Erin is pregnant and is due in February. She is so cute and we can not wait till we see their little girl. She is going to be beautiful. Also that night was one of my best friend's wedding.... Liz!!! She married the most perfect guy for her. TJ is awesome and I am so happy for them both. It truly was a special day.

For New Years Eve, we had our friends Justin, Tiffany and their daughter Avery over. We had a great dinner, watched a movie while snacking on fruit and fondue. Sydney and Avery love playing together. It really is one of the cutest things you have ever seen. They especially loved playing on Sydney new sofa that she got for Christmas. Unfortantly, since we both had children, neither one of us stayed up till midnight. Unfortunately our daughters do not know that it would be nice to sleep in, but either way they will be waking up early in the morning. The next day my parents came up to Woodland Park for breakfast, we all went to the Hungry Bear ( you gotta love all the little mom and pop stores in small towns). The food was great... as always and the company was even better. We hope that we will be having a great time this year.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Well a belated Merry Christmas at leased. Sorry about the delay everyone. However, I think many people can say that the Holiday season is a crazy and hectic season. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Sydney was more into it then last year ( it is a little hard to be in Christmas when you are only 3 months old). She was trying to open the presents and started to get pretty good at it by the end of the day. We got Sydney a new Flip-open sofa. She loves it!!! It is big enough that her best friend Avery and her can fit on it together at the same time. It is so cute to watch them sit on the sofa and read their books together. Sydney also got some more toys, 4 new baby dolls (all different kinds), some books and most of all Clothes. She even got 4 more pairs of shoes, so this all adds up to 20 pairs of shoes that fit Sydney right now. Yep you all read that right, 20 pairs of shoes. And do not be mistaken by her small appearance, Sydney loves shoes. So much that to the point where she will bring me a pair of matching shoes everyday for me to put them on for her. It is so cute. That is one thing I can say she did get from me. The love of shoes. When I was little I used to do the same thing to my mom.

Quinton also had a great Christmas. Just having him home was a treat enough for Sydney and I. Quinton got lots of tools and a cool took box for work, and lots of clothes, both were needed. And as for me you ask? I got the book twilight, gift cards ( which I asked for) and most of all a new Camera!!!! It is so beautiful. Some of you might think that by me saying a camera is beautiful is strange, well not in my world. I have a love for photography and needed a new smaller digital camera. So this adds up to 4 camera's that I have. Some people collect books, music, movies I collect camera's. I truly love it and Quinton did a awesome job of picking it out all on his own. Thanks honey, I love you tons!!!

Our Christmas was a wonderful one, full of laughter, love and most of all family. Quinton and I are so blessed to have both of our parents so close to each other. It truly does make our life wonderful. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope that we all keep Christmas in our hearts all year long!!!
