Getting out of the house

Look at those kissable lips!! This was our trip to the lake to feed the ducks.
Too bad feeding ducks here is not allowed....

We tried to feed the kids in the fountain, but this was also not allowed. What a bust!

Off to the Childrens Musuem to see if we can entertain a one-year old!!

The 5 very small fish in this algae covered tank were fun to watch for a couple of minutes

Checkers anyone?? It's safe to say that she is a little too young to appreciate this

place just yet. Back to the drawing board....

After most of our trips to try and do something fun with Sydney, we get the feeling that she would have been just as entertained running around our house. Maybe it's more about keeping us entertained?? Guess we'll just have to keep trying!!

Filters

Filters are good for lots of things.....
Coffee, air, oil and perhaps most important people's brains.....

Even if you think someone's kid is not cute, you should never tell them that!

This is for the anonymous poster who said Sydney wasn't cute..... Thanks for checking out our blog, but please use your filter next time!

Things I can't wait for:

Things I can't wait for:

-The time to fix my header....... although if I wasn't making this list, I could probably be working on that!

-Sydney's top teeth to come in so we can get some sleep at our house

-The leftover Birthday cupcakes to get eaten, so it's not a constant temptation, No, I am not eating one right now.......

-For one of our attempts to get out and do something fun with Sydney to actually work out. Yesterdays trip to feed the ducks was a bust. Apparently feeding ducks is no longer advised, or at least not at the little lake in Tualatin. Go figure

-My Fitness test to be behind me so I can stop thinking about things like stretch reflex and isokinetic muscle contractions


-For Sydney to slow down for a minute so we can get a picture of her. She is walking all over the place, and attempts a faster get-away walk, which usually ends in her crashing into a couch, or the ottoman. It almost looks like the people on the game show Wipe Out. Not so good!!



A girl can dream......

Thanks for the inspiration Jill

1st Birthday Party

Yes, it has almost been a year since Sydney was born. I am not even going to say "I can't believe how fast it has flown by", because anyone with kids knows.......

We had Sydney's party last weekend at a little park in Wilsonville with close family and friends. Sydney had lots of fun playing in the fountains with her cousins and friends, and I am pretty sure its safe to say she loves cupcakes as much as her mama.

Thanks to all of our friends and family for supporting us as we navigated our first year as parents!!!

Sidenote: There really were lots of people at the party, I just didn't do a good job taking pictures of any of them!! I have really got to work on this....
