Here is one for the Grandpa's in her life

I tried to catch Sydney singing Happy Birthday in the car. Took a little coaxing, but the end of the video is worth the wait.

Halloween Halloween Trick or Treat, our costumes can't be beat!

As you can tell, Dora the Explorer is an active member of our family. Even Momma knows all the songs.

So, Halloween 2008. It's not even here yet, but I am posting pictures of us in costumes. :) We did our celebrating a little early. Jed and I went to an adult party on the 11th at our friend and neighbors house and we had a BLAST! Jed went as Justin Timberlake from an SNL skit called D*ck in a Box. About 40% of the others (mostly men) got the joke right away, but others were not so sure...but they all wanted to know what was in his box. LOL. In keeping with the theme, I went as Mary Catherine Gallagher from SNL (Catholic School Girl). I could not find a wig, so it was what it was...but we had fun.

On Saturday we went to a neighborhood party up in the retail part of the neighborhood. All the stores did trick or treating. It was a lot of fun. Sydney was dressed up like a Seahawks cheerleader. We met up with an old friend of mine from high school and his wife and their cute 6 month old daughter, Abigail. She was really precious in her costume.

For the actual Halloween, we are going away for the weekend. It should be fun. I am looking forward to the adventure and the sun.

There's no doubt she loves the camera

Life has been busy at the Garonzik household lately. Lots going on and not a lot of time to sit back and relax. Tons of fun, but just busy busy busy. Sydney is really getting good on her bike and if it wasn't fall we would take the training wheels off the bike and let her learn to ride without them...but I think we will save that for spring. Her language skills are just exploding now and we are amazed at what comes out of her mouth...so far mostly cute things. This last weekend we had her pictures done for Jed's company. She gets to be a sample model since they took her infant, 1 year and now 2 year photos....to finish it off we will have her 3 year ones done next year. She loves the camera and was a complete angel the entire time. It was amazing and even Phil the photographer, said she was very good for a 2 1/2 year old...most of them are not very easy to work with. I think she just loved the attention and the camera. She was the STAR!!! Here are a few pictures from the photoshoot.
