MY BABY GIRL TURNED ONE!

Well on July 30 it was Sydney's 1st birthday! I am so happy to have her in my life. She brings so much joy and happiness to our family. We had we grandparents and most of her aunt and uncles here, as well as our good friends Hutch and Kim and their kids. I think she had a pretty good day. She liked all her toys and so did I. I love when people get presents that you wanted to buy your kids but just never do it. Over all it was a great day and she was exhausted by the end of the day.













Showing how old she is!













Playing outside before her PARTY













Blowing out her candles.

















Wondering what to do with the cake.













Making sure Hayden doesn't steal her cake.













Not to dirty yet!













So HAPPY because its her birthday!

Well I don't even know where to start! I AM MARRIED!!!! Finally the day has come well it was over a month ago but I have been really busy with Sydney. The wedding went perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Therewas NO wind and it was sunny and the best part there was no RAIN. I am so happy that I married the man of my Dreams. Houston is MINE. haha. I love him so much!! I can finally say I have no more stress because the wedding planning is over. No one told me how stressful wedding planning is. I am glad that my mom helped me so much or I would have never got it all done.

We went to Mexico on our honeymoon, thanks to my in-laws. Our resort was called the Occidental Grand Xcaret, it was a hour away from Cancun. The resort was really nice expect for the fact that we didn't have a sandy beach to lay at. It was just a rock beach with a little cove that they made so you could swim in the salt water. We only swam in it once. The salt water was really nice but I hated getting it in my mouth. lol. It was amazing. I had never been to a beach. White sandy beaches are so pretty. We did a lot of laying in the sun. Houston got sun burnt the first day and that wasn't to fun for him. We went in to Playa del Carmen on day and went and bought some junk, haha, that is all it really is. We bought Sydney a pretty little dress. The only time we got to see a white beach was when we went on a snokling trip. It was really fun until I decided to feed the fish with my breakfast. lol. Then I just went back to the boat and soaked up the sun. Houston got a sweet "g-string" tan on his back from the life jackets we had to wear snokling. The boat that we went on was really fast. So that made the trip fun to. We ate lunch at a beach resturant and then afterwards we head out on some quad in the Mexican jungle to a Cenote, which is an underground river. It was pretty cool to see. The water was fresh water and was cold, but really refreshing. We couldn't tell how deep it went and we didn't really want to go to the bottom becuase it was dark and we had no idea what kind of creatures were living in the water. After the Cenote we went to a cave and I swear there was probably a 1000 bats living in there it was pretty gross but neat to see at the same time.
Our resort had an park next to it that we went to one day. We went swiming in a river, saw some really cool animals and watch a show at night. They played mayan ball which was really neat to see.
The food there wasn't so good, but we got use to it. By the end of the trip I was so ready to get home to my little baby girl. I missed her so much. She sure missed us to. For about a week she was really clingy. If I left the room she would start crying. I guess she loves her mom.

Hurry up Saturday!!

Well as most of you know I am getting married and the day has almost come! I am marring my high school sweetheart Houston Woolf. I am so excited. I LOVE him so much words can not even explain. I can't wait for Saturday to hurry up and get here. Houston has always been the love of my life. He is a great father and I know he will be a great husband. He never lets me go without anything. If I want something I get it. He spoils me, which I can't complain about. He is not the most romantic guy, but he tries. He can always make me laugh. Even when I am mad at him he puts a big smile on my face.He works hard for Sydney and I so that I can stay home and raise her. I am so glad that I have him in my life and he is going to be MINE, haha that sounds funny but I think every wife thinks there husband is theirs. AM I RIGHT??? Well Saturday will start a new chapter of my life and I just can't wait. I am so excited to be all dressed up and be a Princess for a day.

I have been so stressed out about the whole wedding and am glad that I won't have to worry about it anymore. I am praying that everything goes smoothly and looks good. I am so happy that my mom has been here to help me with everything. I have the best mom in the world. Lets just hope that my family all shows up since we haven't all been together in like 4 years i think.

I think I am most excited to get the wedding here so that we can go on our honeymoon. My future In-Laws are giving us a trip to Mexico and they are going to take Sydney for the week. I am so excited to go because I have never been to a beach. Even thought i don't look good in a swimming suit I can still enjoy the sun. We aren't going until June 6th but still it won't take long to past time.

I can't think of a title!

Well Sydney has a couple of good things happen to her this past week. She got her first tooth on Sunday, it was the bottom right one. I noticed while we where are Stake Conference... Ya that's right Houston and I finally went to church on our own and in our own ward. Then on Monday the second tooth popped up, which was the bottom left. Of course she wont let me even try to get a picture of them. So you guys will just have to imagine her with 2 cute little teeth.

Sydney has now figured out how to open the cupboard doors. So I made Houston put locks on them so she cant get to my cookies. haha. She would go for them every time. She thought she was pretty smart because after we put the locks on she would go and try and open the doors and try and hurry before the doors would close to sneak her little hand inside, but the door was just to quick for her.

Also this might sounds gross but its more for my own record. Sydney always poops first thing in the morning and it always leaks out of her diapers no matter what kind I try. So for once I woke up before she did and I went to wake her up. She hadn't pooped yet so I thought I would wait to change her diaper. Well she started to push so I had a bright idea and put her on the toilet. haha. well last Monday, I think it was Monday or maybe Tuesday, Sydney pooped on the toilet for the first time. Now how many almost 9 months old do you guys know poop on the toilet..haha. I think she is going to be an easy potty trainer or at least I hope.

Oh and by the way She is going to be 9 months old tomorrow. I love my little girl!

ITS ABOUT TIME!

Okay so it has been awhile since I have posted last. I have been really busy with the wedding planning so I haven't really had much time on my hands to think. haha.

So we got are engagement pictures done a couple of weeks ago. We decided to get some family pictures done too. Its kind of hard to get Houston to take some pictures so we might as well do them all at the same time. Sydney did pretty good and so dang cute. Me on the other hand, I just can't take pictures. We were out in the sun and my eyes would just water and not stop. I HATE it. I think it might be because I NEVER wear make-up so it irritates my eyes or at least that is what I'm going to blame it on. In the end we got some pretty good picture of all of us.

Sydney hasn't really done anything new in the past couple of months. She is a really good crawler now. She is so fast and just follows me around the house. She is starting to walk across the furniture. I have one of those yoga balls and she likes to stand up to it and balance but you have to make sure that you are just behind her watching her the whole time or she is fall flat on her face.

Today she started to clap her hands on her own. I have been doing patty cake with her for a couple of weeks and the last couple of days if you sing the song to her she would hit her hands together. But today she started to make the clapping noise. I thinks its so cute. She will be playing with her toys and then stop and clap her hands.

Oh and she has said her first word or at least that is what I am telling myself. haha. She said "mama" and I love it. So every time she says it I say what so that she will catch on that she is calling me. Or at least I think that might help.

Sydney also really likes animals. She loved my moms dog at first but then a little puppy came up to her and started to jump all over and kiss her so now she is kind of scared of dogs. We were out at the farm in Wrentham the other day to visit my brother and we went and say the chicken and baby lambs. She loved them. She likes to just sit in the wagon and look at the chickens. the lambs were so cute and tiny. I didn't have my camera out there or I would have taken some picture.

Houston and I went to Toronto March 26-29 to see our friends Kate and Kyle Harker. The SUPERCROSS just happened to be going to Toronto that weekend too. We had so much fun. I was able to see my ideal CHAD REED. haha Most of you don't know who he is but I have been following his motocross career since I started to race myself, which I can't even remember how long that is. We went to the Welland Ship Canal, Niagara Falls, and the CN Tower. We went to comedy club one night which was fun. I am not a real fan of comedy but I have to say that it is way better in person the it is to watch on TV. The race was at the Rogers Center where the Blue Jays play. It was just a really good time. I am glad that we went then because Kate and Kyle moved back two weeks after we were there. YEAH I am excited for them to be home.

So now its crunch time and I promise I am going to have the invitations out by the end out this week. Here are some picture of our trip and just some cute ones of Sydney.
