Sydney Brushing Goats

Sydney was able to pet and brush the coats of goats at the zoo. As Scotty describes it, "Sydney's way of brushing anyone's hair is more of a rake motion." So, she didn't quite "brush" the goats. She more like swatted them with the brush. These goats were great sports though! They didn't mind one bit! Here's a funny video of her "brushing" the goats.

Fun at the Zoo

We went to the Houston Zoo this morning.  It was a perfect day to go.  The weather was great and the animals were out and ready to be seen.  The zoo is decorated for Halloween with pumpkins everywhere!  There were pumpkins in every animal area.  The monkeys were eating pumpkins and the sea lions were using the pumpkins as balls.  We got to feed the giraffes in the new African Safari exhibit.  It was exciting to be that close to a giraffe!  We had such a great day!

Mini Beach Vacation

This weekend we rented a beach house in Galveston with some good friends.  This was Sydney's first time to see the beach and she loved it!  We had a blast and we can't wait for our next beach vacation!

More Splash Pad Fun

My mom, Alana, Sydney and our nanny met at the splash pad this morning.  They had so much fun!

Fun with the Water Hose

With 105 degree temperatures outside, what else is there to do than play with the water hose?

Klemcke Reunion - July 2011

Towards the end of July, Sydney and I went to the Klemcke Family Reunion.  Since Scotty started a new job, he wasn't able to join us.  We have such a great time every single year! Our family reunion has been at the Frio River for about 100 years!  It's amazing!

We had a blast!

We laughed ... a lot!

The kids road in style in the "Cadillac" as our wagon is called now!

The kids watched a little bit of tv!

We celebrated Elizabeth's birthday!

We watched the deer!

Some of us thought being naked was great!

We played in the tent!

We picked up a lot of sticks!

We read books!

We had so much fun in the water!



What happened to my pajamas?

I was watching Sydney in our monitor this morning before getting her out of bed.  She was playing with her pajama shirt.  I don't think she figured out how to take it off completely or put it back on.  So, this is what we found when we got her out of bed! .... and just as happy as can be, just like every single morning!

I LOVE BOOKS!!!

Park Time & Running with the Ducks

We really do have the best nanny ever!  Recently she took Sydney to a toddler park and while they were there they fed the ducks.  Sydney has the best time with her!
