1st 1/2 of June

Some pictures from the first part of June from my phone:
Sydney sining Cole around at the playground.  They both loved this and would laugh and laugh. 

Sydney told us one night that she wanted to give Cole a bath...we still supervised a little :) 

Sydney's last class of Spanish before summer.  She was in a class of all boys.

We had another plant die due to a bird building a nest and two baby birds hatching from the eggs!  Sydney was the first one to spot the babies. 

Hanging out at our park last Sunday when they had their annual community picnic.

Daddy and Cole checking out the firetruck

Can you spot Sydney sitting in front of the fireman?  He's explaining to her the headphones and then put them on her ears.  The firefighters were so great with the kids. 

Cole checking out the front seat

There she is

Sydney in the front


And then they spotted  a little dog and they could care less about the firetruck or games :)  They were in heaven.



We were leaving the library one morning and after telling me she didnt have to go potty while we were inside, the second we get the to the car and Cole is buckled in, she says she has to go.  So, I open up the trunk and she goes.  The best part is, we're in the middle of a parking lot with the door open and she asks me to leave so she can have, "Privacy please".   Ha.  This girl.

Our library had their summer reading kickoff program last weekend and the highlight was meeting the chik-fil-a cow.  We have seen this cow on the street corner many times waving and Sydney has nicknamed him Buck the Cow.  She couldn't stop following Buck around the entire time we were there. 

We went to the zoo last week and as we were walking to the rhino exhibit we spotted a Cheetah walking on a leash on the pedestrian sidewalk!  It was SO close. 


 We love having Nani on summer break!  She joined us at the Safari Park last week as we checked out the new Tiger Trail. 

Taking a stroller break and playing at one of the play structures


Roaring like a tiger

Tiger walking RIGHT in front of us!!


Cooling down at the splash pad at the Safari Park


And one carousel ride before we head home!  This was Cole's first time on the carousel.  




They were quiet for too long... I came in from doing dishes and found Sydney COVERED in baby powder.  She said she was doing tricks?!?

Daddy had a work function one night last week so got home after dinner/baths.  Sydney is looking out the window here waiting for him. 

And... it's summer time!  We headed over to Nani and Poppa's pool yesterday afternoon for a little swim.

Last day of Preschool for the semester

Sydney had her last day of Pre-school co-op on Tuesday, June 3rd.  It was such a fun experience, for both of us!!  My parents were travelling for the last two classes of the semester so I took Cole along with us.  Let's just say I am SO thankful to have my mom nearby and that she watches him for the morning when we go to school (on her day off of work!!!).  I am so grateful for the one on one time with Sydney.

May 2014

I have a ton of random pictures on our camera and phones that I want on the blog (I'm working on turning the blog into a book for each year!  Not sure it will ever get done but it's on my list).  Here is a peek of what we were up to in May.

Dancing and jumping off of our turtle in the backyard

Sydney was teaching Cole how to give her a hug!  So sweet. 



And then it turned into tackling practice!


And giving rasberries

Blue eyed boy!


She loves being right next to him!

Love this little girl.  She is as sweet as she looks. 


Sydney gave Cole her baby doll while he was waiting for me to get a washcloth to clean him up after breakfast.  He started hugging her all on his own and then was patting her back. 



Sydney asked to feed Cole lunch.

He was happy :) 

And earlier that morning she asked to change his diaper!


Sand angels!  So much for clean hair :)


Sydney asked Nani to rock with her :) 

Sunset after the week of fires we had


It was hot here that week - 100 degrees!

Dave got out the ladder during the week of the fires in case we needed it.  Thankfully we didn't, but the kiddos had fun playing on it. 


Cali dog ride!


She asked to vacuum.  Um, ok!


Love them. 




The other morning we went down to the playground but when we got down there, Sydney asked to go run around the baseball fields...so we did.  Cole was in heaven crawling around chasing her. They were both giggling so loud and made all of the dirt worth it!



Happy kiddos.
