Blake the next boxing champ




Sydney lost her 1st tooth

Sydney Rose lost her 1st tooth yesterday. It came as a total surprise. She would say every once in a while that her tooth was wiggling but nothing really showed. So yesterday Blake and Sydney were goofing off and they were making swords out of straws. Blake stuck his straw sword in Syd's mouth and she cried out that he hurt her. When I looked at her I saw a drop of blood and a tooth hanging from a tread. So I reached in and grapped it. She was on the verge of freaking out when I said yea you lost your first tooth and did a song and dance for her and she became excited.

She cant really believe she lost a tooth. She keeps asking, did I really lose a tooth. All her friends have lost 1 and 2 to 3 teeth already and she finally lost her 1st tooth. Well that night she put her tooth under her pillow and the tooth fairy left her a dollar. She was so excited that at 5 in the morning when she woke up she kept telling her daddy about the tooth fairy leaving her a dollar. haha Rami.

Christmas Day 2010

Of course Sydney woke up super early Christmas morning. We were able to sleep just a lil bit longer by letting her get into bed with us but still got up way to early at 7:30.

Blake and his beloved Bakugons and Sydney with her guitar.  


This year we got a Wii. And Blake went wild for the boxing game.

Ahh the kids coloring together...

And playing a family game of Uno that Santa brought our family this year.  We had a great Christmas and later that day had a great Turkey dinner.

All I want for Christmas...

 Blake loves loves Santa. Everytime he see's a Santa he runs to him and gives him hugs. He just looks at Santa so adoringly.
This year Blake kept asking Santa for Bakugons.
Sydney loves to see Santa too, even though she tries to tell me, "mom that wasnt really Santa. He looks different from the other Santa." So I just let her know that they are really Santa's helpers, because Santa is busy getting ready for Christmas.
So Sydney asked for makeup again this year. I think she has asked for makeup every year.

Merry Christmas 2010

Magical Lights

The Cactus Garden at Ethels M's is totally decorated by lights. From top to bottom. I have never seen something so magical. It was like walking through a magical forest of lights. The pictures dont do it any justice.

Blake cant ever just leave stuff alone. Here they are to take a pic with the m&m's and he's holding the foot. And mind you this is a cactus garden all set up with Christmas lights and he kept touching everything. I was terrified he was going to get poked by something pokey.




Rockin around the Christmas Tree

 Decorating the tree has become a tradition that is one of the kids favorites. I put on the lights and put some ornanments on the top of the tree but other than that the kids love doing the rest. And I have learned to let go and leave it the way they decorated it. Besides everyday it changes.  Blake goes around and takes off the ornaments and puts them back in a different place everyday.
 The kids love putting on our most treasured ornanments. They are icicles that my grandma has made for us.

Fashionista

Sydney is my lil fashionista. Here she is one morning ready for school.
