Sydney's World

2008-07-02T09:54:00.000-07:00

On our way to California, in April '08, we stopped in St. George, UT to spend the night and see our friends the Clarksons. I was so excited to see Kylie. We had lots of fun playing in the rocks by their house and at the cool park just down the street. My mom and dad had fun too. My mommy says that daddy and John are big goofballs. Chelsea always has homemade chocolate chip cookies for us to gobble up.

During our California trip, we had fun catching up with our friends the Allens. We met them at Disneyland. I missed Paige and was so glad to see her again. We watched the parade together and went on some rides. My mom called Susannah the cute pregnant lady, and Bridger was there too.

Even though it was April, California was having a heat wave, and the "happy water" at California Adventure Park was cool and refreshing!

2008-07-02T09:03:00.000-07:00

In April, My family and I went to California. Brooke liked her first visit to see grandpa Lake, great grandma and our aunts and uncle. I liked it too. Brooke saw grandma Lake and Aunt Krista before when they came to Colorado when she got born. Uncle David is fun and Aunt Krista plays the guitar. Great grandma likes to tease & make me laugh. Aunt Susan gets my nose and gives it back. We went to great grandma's house to see them. I like that we get to go to Disneyland and visit them all there too. We met grandpa Lake at Disneyland and watched the fireworks together.

Brooke likes to play the piano with her toes. She likes to touch and explore her world with her feet. Funny girl!

More fun times

2008-06-28T22:22:00.000-07:00

My dad likes to play the piano while Brooke and I dance around the room. We likes looking out the window at my mom so she took a picture of us. She's always saying that we're so cute and stuff like that.

This is a picture of my friend Julia and me asleep on my couch. We stayed up late with the babysitter while my mom and dad and her mom and dad were at the temple. We ate popcorn and watched DVD's. We had too much fun!

2008-06-28T22:08:00.000-07:00

This is my wild bunny friend, coffee. He comes to see me in my backyard almost every day. I love him so much. My mom is confused about why I named him coffee since I don't even know what coffee is. Oh well.
I really love flowers too. I love to pick them and to look at them. My grandma Petersen lets me pick roses whenever I go to her house. I just say, " please grandma please may I pick a rose?" Then I pick one and ask her for another one and she lets me have another. Then I sometimes pick all the petals off and sometimes I save it and give it a drink when I get home.

Sunday afternoon in the backyard

2008-06-28T22:02:00.000-07:00

This day, we hung out in the backyard after church. I like to play picnic with my bunny animals and explore and look for bugs and things. Brooke like to do that too. Dad likes to sit under the palapa. Mom like to watch us.

Summer fun

2008-06-28T21:57:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I like to have a pool party in my backyard. My friends, Melanie and Kylie, like to join Brooke and me. It's fun putting out our towels and pretending to be at the beach.

2008-06-28T21:50:00.000-07:00

I'm having so much fun this summer. I spend most of my time playing with my next door neighbor friend, Melanie, and my sister Brooke. I have a playhouse in my back yard and we go to the pool alot too.

2008-06-28T21:44:00.000-07:00

I'm having fun around the house. I like to pull my sister Brooke on "pony rides", goof around with playdough and foam shapes, and looks like Dad, Brooke and I really liked the dinner that mom made.

Crazy Colorado Birds

2008-06-28T21:37:00.000-07:00

This is the crazy bird that built a nest in our Grill. The cover had blown off in the wind and they somehow got in through a hole in the back of the grill. The eggs incubated for about a month then the babies were in there a few weeks but then, unfortunately, they suddenly died. Sadly, we're not sure why they didn't make it, but we've had enough of National Geographic/Animal Planet experiences for a while. Keep the grill cover on!

Brooke's 1st Birthday Pictures

Brooke had a fun time at her party. She enjoyed the guests, the cake, and the presents. She was definately ready for a nap after the excitement of the morning's activites.

Sneaky Brooke

2008-02-08T15:36:00.001-08:00

Brooke was having fun getting into the cupboards. She found the one with all of Sydney's cups, bowls and utensils etc. She hit the motherload. She was so energetic about it.

hungry for lunch.

2008-02-08T14:59:00.000-08:00

She wants out.

2008-02-08T14:48:00.000-08:00

Brooke was talking up a storm and as soon as I turned on the camera, she wanted out of her high chair fast. Bummer. But she's still too cute.

This is our family having a family home evening lesson on the plan of salvation. We're learning about the three degrees of glory, the stars, moon and sun. I want to live with the sun.

Color with your toes!

2008-01-31T14:55:00.000-08:00

Just a reminder that coloring with your toes is fun and more people ought to try it! They should make a national color with your toes day.

Frosting is yummy

2008-01-31T14:49:00.000-08:00

This is my daddy and me making a gingerbread house for our family's Christmas tradition. We make one every year. I like to eat the frosting while we make it. I put candy on the frosting and then I try to take it off and eat it all too. I just love candy, and I love Christmas!

2008-01-31T14:45:00.000-08:00

Hi-

This is me coloring by using my toes. I like to try different things and see what happens. Looks like it worked out pretty well this time. hah-ha. You all should try it sometime, it's fun.

2008-01-31T14:42:00.000-08:00

Hi-this is me and my cousin JR at Thanksgiving dinner. We had it at my Aunt Lori and Uncle Frank's house. I liked being able to draw with markers on the paper table covering. We had yummy food of course, and I really liked playing with JR afterwards. We ran around like crazy.

Brooke's mushy face

2008-01-31T14:28:00.000-08:00

This is my little sister Brooke. She has been eating her lunch of carrots and peas mushy sort of stuff. Brooke laughs at me when I do funny things to make her laugh. I love to make her laugh, I say, "Look at me Brooke and then I jump around." Then I ask my mom, "was that funny mom?"

2008-01-26T09:34:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone, this is Sydney and this is our blog! It's all about my mom and dad, Brooke and me.
