No more white walls

We recently had our home painted with new colors. We love the color and are excited that we no longer live in a white box!

Island Park/Yellowstone Memorial weekend trip

Over the holiday weekend, we were able to enjoy some time up in Island Park Idaho which is about 30 miles southwest of Yellowstone. We were invited by our neighbors to stay at a beautiful cabin and had an enjoyable time with 6 other families. Some of the highlights of our trip were encounters with buffalo, bears, and being ill. I was amazed at the wildlife there is in that part of the country. Sydney had a great time, and when we would see an animal, she would call it a "dog" no matter what it was. Anyways, here are some pictures from the trip.

Time for a bath!!

Sydney also loves bathtime!! Anytime there is water running, you will find her in the same area. Celest and I are going to purchase an inflatable swimming pool for her this summer to enjoy.

I love this picture

I think Celest did a great job on this picture of Sydney. They attended the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point a couple of weeks ago.

Sydney and Cousin Easton

This is Sydney and her cousin Easton. It is really cute when they play together, as she really looks up to him. Many times we have noticed that she will copy the things that he does, and that isn't something she does a lot as she is pretty independant.

As a family, we were invited to attend a going away party for some of my co-workers at JetBlue. It was good to see them again, as it had been a while since I parted ways with JetBlue. Sydney loved bowling. We would place the ball on the bowling ball rack, and she would push it down the alley, and then do it over and over. Came close to a strike a couple of times.
