So I really want to update my blog I am just having a hard time doing so.  So I am the hardest person to surprise with a gift in the whole world but Tyson was able to successfully surprise me with the canon camera of my dreams.  It has been a little intimidating but I am so excited about it.  So I have to say that my amazing Sydney girl is potty trained, sleeps in a big girl bed, and ditched the bink ( during the day anyway, I don't have the heart to take it away from her when she goes to sleep yet!)  She is so much fun I thought she talked a lot before but now that she doesn't have to talk around her bink she talks all the time and sings even more of the time.

Charee and her darling family moved away on Mon.  I have had the funnest couple of day's with Charee and Chloe,  Charee would come over around 8:30 and we would play all day and all night.  I really am going to miss them.  I am so proud of them for having the faith and trust to embark on such a journey.  I know that they are going to be blessed and become even more of an awesome little family.  

I am in the Young Women right now and I love it.  It has been totally intimidating but I have learned so much.  It is pretty cool to have the opportunity to try and influence people when they are at such a crucial time in their lives.  If any of you have any idea's that you would like the youth to hear about let me know I would love the input.  Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving Day!!

So something that I found a little humorous happened the other day.  I have been wondering if I should share it or not because some people might be offended but oh well I guess.  So I was sitting on the toilet taking care of business and talking to my older brother Kurt.  He was telling me the address to some place he wanted me to go, in the meantime Sydney is in the bathroom with me of course singing me happy birthday as I take care of business.  Anyway I inform Kurt that he will have to text it to me later because I am on the pot and I can't write it down.  Then it hit me that he probably still get's to go to the bathroom all by himself and he unfortunately probably never gets happy birthday sung to him while he is going to the bathroom.  I think that he was pretty jealous.  Being a mom is so wonderful isn't it.

Seriously I want to throw my computer through the wall sometimes.  I have no idea why I can sometimes download a million things in 15 minutes and then times like right now all I want to do is download two pictures and it is taking an eternity.  So sorry this update is so lame.  Hope turned one on the twenty first of October, it was a tuesday which is the night that Tyson works late so I usually go up to my mom's to hang out.  We decided to make Hope a cake even though we were going to officially celebrate her birthday the following Sunday.  Anyway after Hope blew out her candle Sydney had to blow it out as well at least three times.  I don't have any pictures of Hope eating her cake right now.  My Brother has all of them at the moment.  

Hopey's amazing birthday cake's done by none other then her mother.

I need to quickly explain why all of my post's are video's.  I have a camera that is supposed to be a good camera but it makes me want to say not just one swear word but a whole slew of them every time I take a picture.  I am hoping that for my birthday I can convince my people's to get me a camera that actually takes decent pictures.  So sorry about all the videoage.  I don't even have a decent picture of Hope's birthday parties.  Luckily my brother got some cute one's and my cousin Alyssa as well.  Yes I have changed the settings and even people who know what they are doing have changed the settings for me and everyone agrees it just doesn't work so well.

Seriously I love these two girls.  Charee do you believe now when I tell you that Chloe has olive skin?  

This is Chloe and Hope.  So they are going to move very far away from us in about 3 weeks.  I am so excited for them because I believe that it is the right thing for them to do but I will miss them terribly.  If any of you have seen the movie The Holiday I am pretty much Cameron Diaz when it comes to how beautiful she is I mean when it comes to her inability to cry and I almost cried today talking to Charee about them moving.  Chloe brings out a side of Hope that no one else does.  I love it she is so funny when they are together.

Some more Charlie lovin, Tyson I promise I don't ever let Charlie in the house, this was a special occasion it was for the blog.  Tyson has been a great sport about Charlie he pretends to not like him but deep down I think he really loves him:).  He is great except he has been leaving dead mice on our driveway lately and yesterday Sydney wanted to pet one of them.  I quickly threw it in the trash and told her that it was taking a nap and that we shouldn't wake it up.  She couldn't stop talking about it.  

I think this was the one I was going for.  Hope is like a caged monkey egging her on.  Sorry about the camera angle flip in the middle I am sort of handicap at the camera thing.

Hopey and her fast feet.  Sorry I keep uploading the wrong video I don't know how to check it before I upload it so you all get to enjoy a lot of video's

This is Charlie the cat that kind of dropped out of heaven if you ask Sydney.  We have no idea who he belongs to or where he came from but he is the sweetest cat I have ever met.  He will let Sydney and Hope do about anything to him.  Sydney is pretty much scared of everything except for animals.  She won't go down the big slide at the park but she would give a bear a great bear hug any day of the week.  So if this blog thing will cooperate here are some following examples of the magnificent patience of our cat Charlie.  Tyson and I think that he must smoke a lot of cat nip or something he is way too chill.  (Sorry I uploaded the wrong video, more is hopefully coming.) It sounds like Hope says Charlie name if you listen close.
