Sugaring

Yesterday we went sugaring with some of our friends from church here. Claire had lots of doughnuts, but wouldn't dip them in the maple syrup.

Sydney is pretending to eat baby food. She really ate more doughnuts than Claire (that is why she looks so happy)

This is how we made the holes in the doughnuts.

Voila

Lyndon used to own this shirt (a grey color one) until I made it into my own.

The more I washed it the tighter the neck got, so he quit wearing it.

That's when I made it into this....

I got my shirt making tips from Made by Lex  

I want to win this!

Made by Lex is a sweet blog, and the woman is an awesome seamtress. I get a lot of ideas from her.....I'd like to win this (scroll down to the stacked gold rings) on her blog!!

(I get double entry points if I link her on my blog)
(great networking schemes)
(dear blogger, What would I do with my spare time with out you?)

A whole lota lota

Sydney is eating solids-real solids. Yum.

Sisterly love

More of that love (they look so gaunt and sickly in this one...Sydney's arm is so skinny!)

And more Love....Claire is big time into cutting.

Check out this braid! I can't remember how I got her to sit that long to do it.

Lyndon's Birthday Pinata. No candy, and no balloon-but a kleenex box and love notes made it a good one.

Boston Children's museum. Lyndon took finals eariler in the week, so we got him the rest and tried to take advantage of the time with him. It was CRAzy busy, but it was nice to get out.

I am pretty sure we spent more time eating lunch than looking at the museum, but we were together, no?

Sydney loved the play of the 3 little pigs. Truly, she was giddy.

And of course China town. We can't go to Boston without going there. Lyndon even suggests it before I ask-promise! We happened to find our road there too. Go figure- "Stubbs" road is in Hong Kong and "Tyler" road is in China town USA. It's soooo in my blood..or something like that.

Going home.

And totally non related to the previous pictures-here's the girls at their usual hangout Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons. Why you ask? Because I am off swimming at the Dartmouth pool training for my triathlon of course. My awesome friend watches the girls and then I take her cute boy on other days while she trains for the same race!Wahoo! Yes she has the short end of the stick (my two for her one) but she swears she's okay with it and I don't need a whole lot of convincing. Thank goodness for good friends in the same boat.

p.s. What happened to spell checker??I need you!

New goal

I'm taking a lap swimming class on campus to help improve my swimming abilities-and to get in shape. It's tooooooo cold to start running.

Wanna do it too? NH is a great place to race. It'll only cost you a couple grand to get here.

Look at me, look at me,look at me now. It is fun to have fun but you have to know how!

Dr. Sues is in my head daily. I have the his ABC book memorized, as well as green eggs and ham. I sort of hate that book now.

But in other news. I'm making stuff and I had to share, because I love it when others share what hey make, so I can make it too!

My friend gave me a sweater she didn't wear anymore, cashmere, but lacking a little j-crew-ness. Or at least that was what I was shooting for You decide.(it also had holes in the sleves and stains). Don't mind the akward nose mouth shot.

I cut the sleves off and added the pink buttons. I didn't have enough pink buttons for the whole gig, but I think it works...

I used the fabric from the sleves to make the neck "collar" and "flower".


This one has a tutorial on martha stewat. "Black Apple Doll" is the name and I KNOW you want to make one now. I sure did. SOOOOO easy and SOOOOO cute.

I made this too. Lyndon had to help, but I did most of the work!
I wish she'd stop growing up so darn fast.
I love her blue eyes. Claire's are green.

This last one could say so much. "psst mom, did you hear that?"

2010!

Let me tell you why this picture is funny. -Lyndon is no where near being devilish, his wife however is.

As for 2010, bring it on! Whoa- this year is the year. I mean it marks many things. For instance-

-Lyndon and My 10 year High School Reunion
-I, Missy, will turn 29! This is my last year to be in my 20's! This thought alone causes deep reflection. Such as, my mother had 4 kids by my age, who's husband, which happens to be my Dad had an -income-money in the bank-their money in the bank.

Now, now, I do not regret any gallivanting I did prior to having kids and getting married (not in that order), but I do feel sort of behind. That may be due to the fact that I always thought I was going to have 7 kids. What?! Yeah, seven. I really have no clue what we'll end up with. I'd like to stay sane and NICE, so 2 may be it. Okay maybe 3-we'll see.

So things this lil' Tyler family has to look forward to this year:

-Lyndon taking his first set of "The Boards" dah, da dun.
-Family visiting, yes? Rich, Janae, G-ma Becky, Maybe my parents when their done playing all over the rest of the world (not like you have to mom and dad). Anyone else? Friends welcome too of course.
-Lyndon entering "3rd year" at the end of June! Blah! This is cool and sad at the same time. Cool because we, yes, we are moving right along, but sad because we'll pretty much be kissing Lyndon good bye as he starts up crazy schedules at the Hospital-all nighters, all dayers, tripple dipple dayers + nighters. Waah.
- And that's pretty much all I can think of for now.

As for the Sydney requests- Here she is:
