Fun with the cousins

We took our summer trip to Minnesota last week. We got to see a lot of family and Sydney loved playing with her cousins. They thought it would be fun to get into the pack 'n play together and read to Sydney. However she figured out how to climb out of the pack 'n play during this trip. We hoped that she would not climb out of her crib at home, but no such luck. We took one side off of her crib this weekend. She is now in a "big girl" bed.

Busy in the kitchen

Sydney loves playing in her kitchen. She cooks all kinds of stuff for us and makes the best "juice." We have the kitchen in the garage since we are outside so much. All the neighbor kids love to come and play with the kitchen.

Sydney's Swimming Pool

Sydney loves the water and had a great time in the pool.

David's New Car

Here is David's "new" car that he got when his dad passed away. It is a 1956 Buick Special with the original paint and interior. His dad completely overhauled the engine and most of the mechanical parts. David is quite proud of the car and has lots neighborhood interest now that he is a "car guy."

Happy 4th of July!!!

We had a very nice 4th, including a block party and bike parade for the kids. I decorated Sydney's Cozy Coupe car for the event. She thought it was pretty cool, but had a hard time keeping up with the big kids on bikes (she was Flintstone-ing it, you know two feet scoot). She just pulled off to the side and got out and went to play on the other toys while the big kids were gone. Smart girl!

Sydney's latest trick

Sydney loves to play dress up. She will put on any shoes and take her purse and fill it with whatever she can find. Right now there are Little People, a fake cell phone, a sticker, and a straw inside her purse. Don't you just love the shoes!!!
