Summer Fun

Sydney continues to be the center of attention wherever we are!! She loves to paint and use her markers to draw pictures - mostly smiley faces. I will take picture of one soon and post it. They are very detailed for her age - big head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair, arms, legs!!! Very impressive!! She also loves her playdoh and will stand for 30 minutes playing with it!! She loves to put on her Barbie shoes and hold her pompoms and do shows for us!! She has become a good swimmer and will now jump in the water. Thank God we have our pool out back because it's been so darn hot, there is nothing else to do!! We went to a movie to day, "Despicable Me", it definitely wasn't as good as the Toy Story 3 but it was something different to do in the AC!! She is doing great with potty training!! She wants to be in the bathroom all by herself now! Sometimes she doesn't even tell us she has to go and we will all of a sudden hear the toilet seat bang down and a flush!! She's very independent - and I think she gets that from her Mommy!!
Below are some pictures over the last two weeks. Enjoy...


JoJo is home for the summer and Sydney is loving her playtime with him!! He is so good with his sister:)

We took Sydney to see fireworks for the first time on the 4th of July. We went to Aviano park which is just across the way in another neighborhood. We layed out a blanket int he park with several other families and watched the firework display right above us. It was a beautiful 30 minute display of colors and booms!! Sydney was a little nervous at first but then quickly became captivated by the magic. It was priceless and yes, I cried!!!

Watching the fireworks!

This was before the fireworks - Sydney had so many choices of kids to play with and she decided that playing soccer with the boys was what she wanted to do...great!!

At Aviano park - trying to decide who she wanted to play with.

Summer fun = Popsicles!!

Getting ready to jump in the pool!!
