It has been a while!

Well, sorry about not keeping up this blog very well. I am going to try to do better. Sometimes we get distracted from the important things to waste time on things that are less than necessary. I guess I am really saying sorry to myself because I really wanted to keep this up to date and I let other things keep me away. Here are a few fun pictures. I hope who ever looks at these continues to pray God protection on Sydney and wisdom for her parents! Thanks
Sydney's first food. She did awesome. (6 1/2 months)

Swimming lessons with mommy at Joy's house.


Chillin' in the cool sunglasses with Daddy! (someone left these at our house)

First 4-wheeler ride! (she was too tired to care much about it)

Playing with Mikayla's toy in Portland. (she now has her own, she loved it so much)

Troy's wedding in Silverton.

We had the privilege of babysitting for our good friends on their anniversary! Don't worry, Chip was actually just reading to Nya and Zoe, but we decided to throw Sydney into the mix for a picture. :)

Sydney's Dedication. Thanks to all who supported us. Such a beautiful day in so many ways.

My first bath with out Mommy holding me. (5 1/2 months) I snapped the picture and then quickly went back to her side so she didn't tip over.

Mother's Day!

At 5 months Sydney started sitting up on her own and at 6 months she started crawling. Now she thinks she is pretty hot stuff we someone (not me!) helps her walk. She turned 7 months yesterday. I can't believe it.

New Things!

Each day brings new joys and experiences... Here are a few of our latest.

New toys from Grandma Kinzler. She loves them. Just a little intense don't you think?

She discovered her feet last week and this week she figured out that she not only has fingers to suck on, but toes as well. :)She is definitely teething, but the extreme wetness is her trying to drink my water out of my glass. She actually did pretty good and loved it.

Daddy helping her pose for a picture.

I love Chip's expression!

Showing off her new talent in her cute spring time diaper. :0)
Just a beautiful face. (Nice photo, daddy)

Zoe and Sydney Kinzler

Sydney loves her dog. It is so funny because she will just be laying on the floor and Zoe will walk by and Sydney will just start smiling and sometimes even laughing.

Zoe was a bit disinterested, but put up with her. Zoe just wanted to chew on her bone.

Ride em' cowgirl.

Has it been 8 seconds yet? I'm going off. Catch me MOM!

Worn out and loving my Grandpa. Riding dogs is hard work. :) I know I a little biased, but I think she is beautiful.

Planting a Garden!

Thanks to Steve and Karen Jahn we got to hang out and help plant a garden. Sydney got to experience dirt for the first time. We had such a great time and greatly appreciate Papa Steve and Nana Karen.

Long time Coming!

I guess I just have been a little unmotivated. I'm enjoying my baby girl so much. I love the nicer weather. Here are a few updated pictures...

Sydney's first Ski Lift ride. March 23rd, 2009 our 8th anniversary.

Snowshoeing with mommy and Grandma Kellogg. She was asleep 5 min. into the trek.

Chip loves to put his hat on Sydney. She is hanging out with him in the pack and wearing his hat.


Zoe Doughman and Sydney. 5 months old. These girls are 2 weeks apart. It will be so fun growing up together.Peter Kasprzak came over. He is a week older than Sydney. I have noticed that Sydney would lot rather look at the person next to her than the crazy mom that is doing everything possible to get her to smile or at least look at the camera. :)
