Grammy's trip

Grammy came up from Texas to stay with us for a week. Grammy & Sydney had a blast.

Grammy came with homemade gifts:
A take-a-long chalk thingy for Sydney

And beautiful Easter eggs for me.

She loves to wear Grammy's jewelry.

Grammy bought a small bouncy house over the Christmas holiday for Sydney and Adeline to play in while they were there. We lucked up with her giving it to us for Sydney to play in! Here she is being a "teacher" to her animals. So cute!

And of course they had to go to Monkey Bizness.

Sydney and her baby - this one can take baths with her. And boy was that baby clean that week!

Grammy was able to see Sydney at her gymnastics class. We only have a couple of more classes before we take her out to do other things for the summer. Here she is 'chatting it up' with Lillia.

Aren't we in 2011, not the 80's??? (side pony and bright "jewelry")

I decided to have an Easter egg hunt for some kids in the neighborhood. This is one of the invitation that we delivered.

Had to stop and pick up some treasures (aka rocks) :-)

Sydney is also trying out a soccer class that Grammy got to see. They call this soccer, but it is really a bunch of kids running around and kicking a ball. More entertainment and exercise for Sydney.

Time to go to the "zoo". Here are my two kangaroos.

Sydney loves her Dora letter tracing and find the letters book.

Gabe and baby Charlie.

Squeaky clean

"Malmade" aka Almond

Grammy has Sydney's ears. This is so funny since Sydney always is getting our ears. Not sure what the fascination is, but that is Sydney's thing.

So much fun with Grammy!

Sydney's Spring School Pictures

Bowling

We wanted to do something different last Sunday with Sydney. We ended up going bowling! She had a good time even with a meltdown or two. We are definitely going to go back and bowl again!

Dizzie Izzie

Sydney got to join 14 other girls to model Dizzie Izzie clothes for the company's photo shoot. http://www.dizzieizzie.com/

Sydney even got to have her hair done. The photographer's assistant said the photographer wanted Sydney's hair to be 'crazy hair' and I was a bit worried. But it turned out so cute!

Before (what a long pony tail!)

During

Ta Da!

One of my favorite pictures...

Two of the big girls were getting their picture done at this table with Izzie drinks. Afterwards Sydney asked me to take her picture at the same table with her water. Adorable!

Playing with the jump rope in between pictures.

So I let her run around without shoes on and...

inevitably fell down and got a boo boo :-(

Let's put your hands in the air...

I'm supposed to do WHAT?

Another favorite

The photographer posted this picture on Facebook. I can't wait to see the rest! (Sydney is on here twice).

Sydney didn't want to take her tights off, so we had a cute outfit. We got home and played with a bunch of puzzles.

Seriously Mom, stop taking pictures!

Zoo Day

We had a fabulously warm day at the zoo this past weekend. We met up with Sophia (& Lauren & Phil) and Lillia (& Melissa).

Sydney doing her usual ear rubbing :-)

Cuteness!

I tried to get to their level - ha!

Sydney was feeling polar bear fur.

Triple Cuteness!!!

I'm this big!

Denver Aquarium

Last weekend we went to the Denver Aquarium for some family fun.

Here little fishie!

Fun in February

Sydney is learning to write her name in school. Here is an "S" she wrote for us one night. I say that is a fabulous "S"!!!! However, we haven't seen another one ;-)
