So if you scroll down you will see that just 2 days ago....Monday......We were outside playing in beautiful fall weather. Jumping in the leaves and having a ball. What a dramatic change. Thank you Colorado for your crazy weather!! We had a SNOW DAY today!! Yes I am as bad as the kids!! A day off for them means a day off for me and fun in the snow!!!! We made a desperate run to Target for new boots, gloves, hats, sweats, hot chocolate and marshmallows! MMMMM!!!! Then we stopped at Blockbuster for movies (anticipating a nice cuddly night in front of the fire!) After we got home, loaded our bellies with lunch, Bug and Nan were off until it got dark. We got a foot and a half of snow today and it isn't even supposed to stop until tomorrow night, which means at least another foot and another SNOW DAY!!!! The kids started to build an igloo with all the neighborhood kiddos in our front yard which they are so excited to finish!! More pics to come tomorrow! I'm sure I will see them when they need to load up on food and hot chocolate but not much more than that. I LOVE THE SNOW. The highlight of today.........SNOW ICE CREAM. Yes Ice cream made from the snow. It was awesome. My daycare Mom told us about it today. So easy. Put a bowl outside and let it fill up with the fluffy snow. When it is full, bring it in and add a 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 tsp of vanilla and about a 1/2 cup of milk. YUMMY!!!I can't believe I have lived here all my life and been deprived of this!
Other than the fun snow, we had more good news come to us on Monday night. Garrett made the all star team for football. He will be practicing 4 days during the week and playing the first 3 weekends in November with the best kids in his league!! YEAH!!
Syd is saying Mama, knowing fully well who Mama is! She has also learned to clap on her own and kiss you and her stuffed animals! Too cute!
Savannah is still working hard at soccer. Not too active with it this week because of the SNOW but she'll be back in action soon.
Enjoy the pics!!

Holy Cow!!! Do these kids have a death wish or what?!?! Savannah and Garrett can make fun out of any box they find. In fact they get so excited when we do our Costco run. No more presents for them.. just the boxes please! No one got hurt in this picture. I did have to save Savannah one time from her trying to surf (yes standing up!) Oh Lord!!!!Sydney turned 8 months yesterday. It was also my Birthday (21 baby!!! :) ) I woke up to my favorite thing in the world.....Family Cuddles!!! Then we went to church.
I then spent the afternoon at the Zorn's (Lisa B and family) new house (so beautiful) with my Mom Syd and Malaini Touchstone. Savannah went to a buddy's birthday party and the boys stayed home for some much needed male bonding. It was a great day. Thanks ladies......and Ryan!!
Yeah I know this is a goofy picture. Her nose is yellow from left over lunch. We'll eat that later!! :) It kind of sums up how she has been lately. Today she finally cut her first tooth. Her bottom left. She has been working on it for a while. She was pretty good. No fever no diarrhea. Just a few moments of fussiness and very clingy to Mom. I think the bottom right one will be here before we know it. Anyway, the lunch on her nose is a battle I did not want to have. She HATES her nose being wipes or washed!! Weird I know.
Savannah had a great game this past Saturday. Her team lost 1-4 but she scored the only goal and busted her butt. She ran her tail off!!
Garrett had his last football game.....YEAH!! (did I say that?!) He did great as usual. His team won. 8-0. He scored the touchdown and then they got a safety. It was fun. He will miss it but I tell you what, parents really can ruin it! It was the most negative and unappreciative group of parents Billy or I have ever been around. Even from all of our coaching. Is this what I am in for as a football Mom? Don't' know if I can handle that!! There were a few good parents and we appreciated the coaches greatly! We'll be seeing them later!
Since Syd is all over the place, one of her favorite things is to play and chase the dogs. They are so good with her. Very tolerant!!
She is crawling everywhere and fast. She has a little buddy that is a little over a year at daycare. He just started to walk and she is mad!! She tries so hard to keep up. She pulls up on everything. She has stood by herself for a couple of seconds and will take steps with her walker or if she is holding our hands. She is still pretty wobbly though. Garrett was walking at 9 1/2 months. She may beat him. She is a very determined baby. Still laid back but when she wants something, she will do what she can to get or do it.

Savannah pulling her hair out!! These beautiful locks are going to be chopped off after Halloween. She needs them for her Native American costume then it's Locks for Love again. She has not had a game in 2 weeks. Last weekend they had a bye and this weekend it was a whopping 24 degrees with snow. Garrett's game was canceled yesterday but was rescheduled for today which was CRAZY!!!! It was 28 degrees and played on icy turf. Boy I LOVE football! He had his worst game ever. He does not do well when body parts get cold. He did manage to get their only touchdown but pulled himself out of the game when he rolled his ankle. Needless to say, his team lost 6-24. OUCH! They have their last game next weekend.
We are in desperate need to find things appropriate for syd to pull up on. We got her this little bench but it slides when she is trying to pull up. She also falls through between the bench and the table. We returned this one for the 3 stage walker. That one seems to work well right now but if we are not on the floor with her, it will tumble on her too. What do you do?!?!?! She is still too little to reach the top of our coffee table and other "stable" areas. Once she is standing she is walking all around the objects. We just have to find some sturdy toys.
Visit from Nana and Pops
Nana and Pops came to visit last weekend saw a great football game by Garrett and Syd decided to put on a show. Garrett had an interception and ran it for a touchdown and then a punt return for a touchdown. He also scored the extra point. His team won by 1 point. Savannah did not have a game this weekend so unfortunately they did not get to see her play. Next time! Sydney decided to start everything on Sunday after church. She mastered sitting herself up from laying down, decided this scooting thing was for the birds so figured out the whole crawling thing. Now she is everywhere ALL the time. She is talking like crazy. A lot of Dadadada and spitting, which seems to be her favorite. Her last big show off move was when we got her from her nap and she was standing up in her crib. She is going to be like Savannah trying to get out of jail!!
