School Pictures

These are Sydney's first "school" pictures. Brian and I can't believe how good they turned out. Of course this was the morning she went to school with crazy hair and a sweatshirt. Luckily I took the time to run back home and get her another outfit and the teacher did her hair while I was gone. Whew! The class picture was taken the day after portraits [explains 2 outfits;-)]

See what a difference a year makes. Last year she did NOT want her picture taken - which is clearly why we didn't buy any pictures!

Outdoor Fun

It was windy on Sunday so Brian had the great idea of buying a kite. Not a great idea to tell Sydney we were going to the park, not the green(open) space, to fly the kite. The kite went right up, however Sydney didn't understand why there weren't slides and swings :-)

So, off we go to the park....

Back to Blog

Ok - I had feedback about switching and the biggest pull back to here is Brian. So I will keep trying to stay on here and see how it goes.

Little Things

I just got to do the potty dance! Sydney asked to go potty and she really did go! The little things that make Mommy and Daddy smile!

Easter Morning

Happy Easter!

Sara Klein's 2nd Birthday Party

Sara Klein - our neighbor - had her 2nd birthday party yesterday. They had an Easter egg hunt, lunch and then cake. We had a great time!

Lauren & Katie

Time to hunt for eggs and toys


Time to count up the booty.
Sydney's first jelly bean. Luckily I distracted her and that was the only one she ate :-)

"Hey Sara, that's mine."

I helped Sydney eat a plate of ziti and thought we were done. Well, she had round 2 in Daddy's lap.

Sara, Clayton and Sydney

Spring Party

Sydney's school had an Easter egg hung last Friday. They all had their bags and hunted away. It was really cute.

Time to line up to go inside.

As part of the party, they got a special snack of an egg shaped cookie.

** Warning **

Warning!!!!!!!   You must be prepared to laugh while looking at this post! 

First, I went to pick Sydney up at school last Thursday and this is how her hair was done.  There were 4 ponytails in all.  It seems 2 other girls had their hair like that and Sydney had to have hers the same way.  So cute!  Of course it was the night we were going straight to meet Brian for dinner. 





Blogspot has updated link uploads, so let's try this out. To watch the videos (4 in all), click on the bold blue links:
Yesterday, Sydney had the dancing bug.  She put on a show for Brian, Tracie and I.  I didn't get the first few dances which were just as funny, however I did get the last one:  Say "Cheese" and Dancing.  Then she decided to sit in her baby stroller and "hide" plastic food.  From nose a comin' (nose is running - still says this way), mucus (music), ravisies (raviolies), catipitar (catipillar - still says this way) now to the new pronuciation of Tortillas.  Later that day, we were reading books.  The next thing I know she picks up her "Where is Green Sheep" book and reads it herslef.  Ok, so it wasn't the right words and she sang some things in there but I was laughing so hard.  I tried to capture this some more, but not quite as cute: Reading 1 and Reading 2.

I hope this made you smile today!  Have a great day!

Love to all our friends and family!!!!

Fun With Sophia

Lauren, Phil & Sophia came over for dinner the other night. This gave the girls a chance for a playdate and they had a great time. They were soooooo cute!

Sledding

We got about 4 inches of snow last weekend so we decided to try taking Sydney sledding. This is a small hill in our neighborhood. She didn't like the first run since snow went all over her face. Once we figured out the best way to go down the hill with her, she LOVED it!

Sydney & Sophia's 2nd Birthday Party

We had a joint birthday party for Sydney and Sophia at Gymboree. There was a class for the kids and then we went to another room for cake. Yummy! Oh, Toodles!


Sydney had a good time playing before all the kids arrived.



Sydney played for awhile with the kids and then all she wanted was Mommy or Daddy.






Cake time! Yes, Sydney finally took her fingers out of her mouth for cake.


After the party some of us went to CPK for lunch. Sydney had fun drawing Tracie's hand.
