Twinkle, Twinkle

Sydney sings reticently and then with a confident gusto.

You'd need a machete to penetrate this dense forested area

Rain

We had a nice rain storm and Sydney was very talkative about it. We called the thunder 'rumbumbles' and she changed it to 'rumbumblebee'.

Saturday

Saturday we watched a little boy in our ward for a while. Sydney loved it! They played really well together. I wish I would have got some better video. He would chase Sydney and she would just laugh and laugh.

Cute Pictures

Adam-ondi-Ahman

Spring is beautiful here in Missouri. To celebrate Andrew surviving his first year of graduate school (Yay!!!) we decided to take a trip, so we went to Adam-ondi-Ahman.

The Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman


Sydney and her rocks...






The little trail on Tower Hill was actually the most beautiful part.




I have never seen cactus before in Missouri. Andrew happened to see it on the side of the trail.


The Grand River that boarders the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman was flooding near Chillicothe.

Package from Aunt Wendy

I found this baby doll stroller at a yard sale for $5. Sydney loves it.

Thank you Wendy! Wendy sent a bunch of boy clothes that were duplicates and that Cutler had already grown out of. Plus some maternity clothes since I've grown out of a lot of mine! We like packages. :) Sydney thinks all of it is hers.

Pulling everything out of the box was a great half hours worth of entertainment. She looked at everything one by one and even pulled the pairs of socks apart.
