Greg took Sydney to the park for a bit late this afternoon. It was awesome to have the house to myself for an hour!! Shortly after they came back, Greg asked Sweetie to cook him something from her kitchen. As she was cooking and talking on the play phone that comes with the kitchen, she started to go poo-poo! As if that wasn't funny enough - I then asked her if she was done going poo-poo.
Mommy - "Sweetie, are you done going poo-poo?"
Sweetie - "No"
Mommy (noticing her full diaper) - "Well what's that poo-poo doing in there?"
Sweetie - "It's just playing"
Mommy - "Well what's it playing with?"
Sweetie - "A poo-poo ball!"
Mommy & Daddy - laughing hysterically!!!!!
Never a dull moment!!

A Special Gift
Every year at this time, we get these big flying bugs that look like giant mosquito's. They don't bite and they are pretty slow and easy to kill - but they are non-the-less, disgusting!! Sydney does not care for them and will not go near them - I am sure she learned this from me!! They act like moths in that they are attracted to light at night, which means, they cling to our sun screens from 4pm on. Sydney makes a big deal about it and I usually end up having to shut the shades so she can't see them.
With this in mind, imagine how funny it was this morning when she saw one on the outside of the sliding glass door. She kept pointing it out and her Daddy said something about killing it.
She said, "No Daddy, don't do that! He needs to be with his family."
So cute that she understands the concept of the importance of family and how every creature has one. She just continues to amaze me with her intelligence and her ability to grasp concepts that most children do not until much later in age. You know my Mother and colleagues in the Counseling field have always told me that I have an "old soul" because of my ability to see past what is on the surface. I have a feeling my sweetie may have the same gift - A gift I got from my Mom!! Thank you Mom...

Picture Overload!!!!
Below are MANY pictures that were taken over the past two weeks. Between preparing for Easter Day Celebration and all of our Easter parties up to Easter Day, we were very busy and I took many pictures. They are in no particular order!!! Enjoy:)
Easter morning, we went to Church with Angelo, Sheila & Jeshua. It was a beautiful morning and a lovely service. I am just bummed that we didn't get a family picture taken.
Here is Mommy and Sweetie Easter night.
Sweeties new Easter necklace from Nana and Pap!
Look at those eyes....
We took her pretty Easter dress off while she ate dinner and she refused to put it back on. She also refused to take her shoes and socks off. This is how she prefers to dress on most days home!!
Such an awesome picture of Sweetie, Uncle Michael and Aunt Peggy!!
Love this picture!! Sydney was by Uncle Michael's side the entire night!!
Her Easter globe from Aunt Arlene and Uncle Vince!!
She called the Easter globe her Angel!!
Her pretty Easter dress!! She's only 2.5 years old and wearing a size for in girls for her Easter dress - it's because she's so tall!!
She loved this new toy!! There is a ribbon attached to the stick and she twirls it around!! Big hit!! Nana enjoyed it also!!!
Nana giving Sydney her new necklace!!
Sweetie and Angelo - our friend and neighbor.
Sweetie and Sheila, Angelo's wife & friend!!
Her first Peep!! 
She only ate the ears off the Peeps and then lined them up on the table!!
On Sat., the day before Easter, our neighbors had an Easter egg hunt and party. We had so much fun!! They really went out of their way and did it up nice for the kids and the adults!! It's just so awesome that many of the neighbors are finally getting to know each other and having parties for the kids (and adults)!! It makes me so happy to know that Sydney is going to have kids her age to play with as she grows up here in our neighborhood!! This little boy's name is Jack.
Jack has an awesome Playset in his backyard that Sydney LOVED!!
Easter egg hunt at Jacks. They live 2 doors down from us.
Checking out their Easter goodies.
This lovely picture was taken a few days ago while I was getting some cleaning done. She insisted on wearing her kitty-cat hat (it was 80 degrees out), a diaper, her "princess shoes" and her necklace. Very stylish and cute!!
Her outfit for the afternoon!!
Later we made Easter cupcakes to bring to Jacks party. Sydney was having a hard time staying focused so I put her in her chair and gave her her own cupcake, frosting and sprinkles and just let her go at it. She really wasn't interested in the frosting or sprinkles - she just wanted to eat the cupcake!! She calls them "Pupcakes"!!!
All ready for spring!!!
She loves to pose for the camera!!
This was taken at our MOMS group Easter Egg Hunt/Party last week!! Yes, we had two Easter egg hunts/parties before Easter morning. Sydney is a pro at finding Easter eggs now. She calls them "Easters". This is her friend Savannah.
Here she is at our MOMS Easter egg hunt!! She was so excited!!
So cute!!!
Her basket got so full, we ended up putting some of the eggs back out for the other kids!!
They were all filled with candy. I really don't allow Sydney to eat candy much so I was pretty sneaky and got rid of all but a couple suckers. She is allowed to have suckers when we are shopping - it distracts her long enough for me to actually get some shopping done! Other than that, she really doesn't eat candy!! So, FYI for future holidays - please don't give Sweetie candy. Instead, we filled her eggs with little toys like plastic dinosaurs, wind up toys, organic berry bunnies, things like that:) 
She really had so much fun at this party. And the weather was absolutely beautiful!!

So that's it for our Easter holiday this year. We are both exhausted today from all of the Easter parties and preparations and our Easter Celebration last night with all of the Wades!! Once again, I feel truly blessed to be in the Wade family and to have my beautiful family!!!

Holy cow, it's been way too long since I have posted!! Where does the time go??!! Sweetie keeps me moving so much, I am exhausted when I finally get to sit down. The last thing I feel like doing is using my brain to post and download pictures on the blog!! So much has happened over the last few weeks!!
Sweetie ended up getting another virus and was sick for a couple of weeks. So sad!! Her Daddy ended up having to take her into the doctor - his first time taking her by himself!! So sad because she was sick for the neighborhood block party. We still took her because all of the little neighborhood kids were there playing. Turns out, many of them were sick with the same thing!! She really had a blast in the jumpers at the party!!
I did something exciting on the 17th of March. Myself and Tony (Greg's best friend) completed a 3 peak challenge. We hiked Camelback Mountain, then Squaw Peak Mountain, and finally, North Mountain. We completed the hikes in less than 4 hours!! It was a great experience!!
We had Pap's Birthday party at our house on the 20th - the same day Greg totaled the Porsche!! Quite an eventful day! We are just very grateful that he didn't get hurt!!
After Easter, I will download pictures and more stories about Sweetie - Seriously, I will!!!!

Busy Weekend!!
What a busy weekend we had!! I can't even remember what we did on Friday?? On Sat., we went to a little carnival at the park with our friends. Sydney had a blast romping around in the jumpers and eating her first snow cone. After a short nap, we had more friends over and Greg prepared an Italian feast for 6 adults!! While the adults wined and dined, Sydney was having a blast playing with her friend Addison, they are the same age. It was so cute watching them play together. Before bed, Sydney proceeded to tell all of the adults a story about a witch - boy her imagination is big!!! After many laughs, I was finally able to get her to bed at 10pm!!!! After everyone left and clean up, it was about 11pm. I went up to check on her and she was still awake!! I tickled her face a bit and she fell asleep.
On Sunday, Sweetie woke up bright and early (urrrr..) and we started our day. She was very excited because we had Jace's birthday party today!! We went to Peter Piper Pizza for the party and Sydney played games for about 2 hours! Then it was time for us to leave to go to our block party meeting. Sydney played with Jake at the party for another 2 hours! NO NAP!! Then off to Nana & Paps to play with all of the family and eat dinner. We finally got home and were in bed by 8:30pm!! Wew, lazy day today!!!

Proud Mommy!!
Sydney and I went for a beautiful hike today at North Mountain. It's a steep hill/mountain that's paved so I can put Sydney in the jogging stroller. It's like pushing 70 pounds uphill for 1.5 miles. Love it!!
After we got home, we went out back and sat in the sun for a bit. Sydney was playing with some "golden treasures" as she calls them so I put them on my leg and suggested she count them. She said "ok" and pointed to the first one as said, "Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco" as she pointed to each one!! I was blown away! My two year old just counted in Spanish!!! Man she's smart!!!

Pictures
Sydney is feeling 100% better now. Her runny nose and cough lingered for many days. We finally were able to get back to the gym this last week!! She needed it as badly as I did!! She loves to play with the kids and I love to take spin class! I feel like a whole different person by the time the class is over!
Sydney continues to be a joyful little girl. She still talks up a storm and says the funniest things! Everyday is something new - for instance, I got her the movie "Chicken Little" at a 2nd hand store. She loves the movie. In the movie they play that song from the Spice Girls about friends (can't think of the song title). Any ways, today, Sydney keeps singing, "You wanna be my lover" over and over and over!! Sounds so funny coming from a 2 year old!!!
She loves to sing and dance! I really think she is going to be some kind of a performer as she grows up. She has to get that from her Daddy because I am pretty shy and really don't like to draw attention to myself! Her Daddy on the other hand...well, you all know how he is:) They are both Leo's after all!!
Below are some cute pictures of Sydney and I. Sydney and I had our own little photo shoot to get a cute picture of the two of us for Daddy for Valentine's Day. She was a blast during the photo shoot. There were so many cute photos to choose from!! She even had the photographers laughing!!
This is the one we got framed for Daddy!!
So Sweet! I am so glad we did this. I am usually the one taking the pictures so there are not many of Sydney and I. I think it's important for us to do this for Sydney. I really regret not having more pictures of my Mom and I as I was growing up.
Here is the picture taken right after I crossed the finish line for the PF Chang half marathon!! I could barely stand my legs were so wrecked!! Still thinking about doing the San Diego PF Chang half marathon in June...
