My how time flys...

She is almost 7 months now. I can't believe it. Here is a glimpse at how happy she can be. Even after waiting WAY past our appointment time. She surprised me. This is our little (not really so little, she's huge) Sydney at 6 months. By the way, nice crack.

We Will Play While Daddy's Away

The last few weeks have been crazy. Shane has been studying for his life license and DID pass the exam. He's official now and we are so proud of him. Our renters moved out at the end of August and he flew up to take care of some things. We were really unhappy with the condition of the house when the family left.

This was our first house, we picked out everything that we wanted and made it our own. Then reality sinks in, people will most likely not take care of it the way we would. For instance, the toilet in Blake's bathroom had been turned off because it wasn't working properly. A visit from the plumber, and WALA! There is a toy stuck in it. Nice. I'm feeling a little less bitter every minute thanks to AMAZING friends and neighbors who have been so willing to help us out with our mess of a house.

The blessing. After posting it for rent online, it rented in less than 48 hours. What a relief. Anywho, while Daddy was away working hard, we had some fun doing things we like best. Like laughing, car shows, and most importantly (this time of season) watching the football. Go Trojans!

In June we took a trip to Idaho for the Hendricks family reunion, also grandma and grandpa's 65th wedding anniversary. Other than the crummy rainy weather, we enjoyed ourselves and Blake had tons of fun with his cousins.

Lazy days...NOT!

I haven't posted anything new in a while, but here is a somewhat recent picture. They are the joys of our lives. We just adore them.

Baby Girl

Sydney has been the best addition to our family. She is an absolute joy and we love her so much.

Killing Two Brids With One Stone

This is my idea of being productive. Nutrition and cleanliness all rolled into one chore.

Any day at Disneyland is a good day

Shane had a birthday on May 18th and Blake had one on May 19th. We celebrated with a trip to Disneyland. Blake always has a good time when he's with his daddy, even if it's on the Tea Cups.
