Thanksgiving 2010 - Oklahoma

Since we had the time off we drove from San Antonio to Edmond, Oklahoma to spend Thanksgiving with some of the Kerkmans! The drive was long, Syd did great, but we will sure be glad to only be an hour or so away vs 7 or more with traffic, oh and I am not a fan of Holiday traffic on the road!

Sydney had fun playing in the pool with daddy, it got a bit chilly so she had to get out.

Happy Thanksgiving

Cousins

Syd likes to look at her Cousin Sam

Sam says...Don't touch my whale Sydney

Sea World - Christmas Celebration

We took Sydney to Sea World and we had a great time. They just started their Christmas celebration so they had Christmas music playing and decorations up all around.

We watched a few shows and Sydney sat through them great, she just watched the animals.

Daddy and Sydney with the Christmas Tree

Mommy and Syd got to feed the dolphins, it was great. Since I was holing her I was not able to get my other hand up to pet them, next time.

The Killer Whales

Padre Island, Corpus Christi, TX - Nov 5-7

We decided to take advantage of being so close to Padre Island, Corpus Christi, and headed down for the weekend before the weather gets too cold:)

Friday afternoon

Syd is checking out the water, little did we know that this was the beginning of her not wanting to get out of the water!!

Here she is taking off from the towels to go back to the water.

Syd and Daddy's footprints

Saturday

We got up and went to the Packery channel to look for dolphins, there were some there but they were pretty far out.

After a nice nap she was ready for more fun in the sun! She loved playing in the sand and liked her legs buried, it was pretty cute.

Taking a much needed break from all the playing:)

Mommy and Syd

After dinner we went back to the beach to play a little Frisbee, she really enjoyed it.

Sunday

We went to look for dolphins again, but this time we drove the TL on the beach, and we didn't get stuck, it was great! Made for a much shorter walk which is key with a 20 month old.

There were a ton of dolphins today and it was great, we really enjoyed watching them, ok let's be honest I was really enjoying myself while Al was making sure that Syd didn't get into trouble.

Playing in the water one last time before we were going to get in the car and head home.

San Antonio Zoo - Nov 4th

Al and I took Syd to the San Antonio Zoo on Thursday afternoon and it was great. Syd had a fun time.

At the Fun Farm touching the goats horns:)

Riding the elephant

Checking out the kangaroos!

Baby Girl #2 Update

Well wanted to let everyone know that Sydney is going to have a sister:) I was a little behind on my ultra sound and appointments due to our move, but we are on track now and Baby girl is looking great, measuring right on track. Can't believe that I am already 24 weeks along, over half way done, that is great! I am feeling good, just tired, but who isn't chasing after a 20 month old! I will try to keep everyone updated as we get closer to the big day.

Happy Halloween from our Little Lady Bug

Sydney was our Little Lady Bug for Halloween this year. She really liked her costume, but didn't want to wear her antenna all the time:)

Daddy and Syd

Mommy and Syd

Uncle Aaron was over to watch the game and so Syd had to show him her costume

We went out to go trick or treating and we found a "Safe Halloween" party at a park that we have been going to and it was great. Syd was able to play some games and then get some candy, she had a great time.

They had music on and she was dancing away, if only I had the video camera with me!

Pumpkin Patch in TX

Ok finally some updates from us, sorry it has been so long but we have been busy. Enjoy reading through our adventures from the end of September up to today!

We had to find a pumpkin patch to take Sydney to and they didn't have any like we went to in CA where you could go and actually pick them from the patch but we did find a pretty good one and got a few good pics.

Here you can see Syd the scarecrow and Daddy the pumpkin man

Syd was trying to pick up all the pumpkins, it was cute.

She likes to say "cheese" when she sees the camera now, so that means we get some cheesy smiles:)

It was 80 degrees out and very sunny, a bit different from the pumpkin patches I used to go to as a kid!
