"I like being a kid" Brian Kinder Concert Birthday Party

The Birthday Princess

We had a great birthday party last Saturday, with our birthday twin Jackson. Melissa and I decided to have a joint party this year, and we celebrated the big day with a Brian and Terri Kinder concert at our church. As the kids arrived they played in the indoor play gym.

Brian and Terri Kinder
They really are great with kids and all the kids enjoyed their music.

Making a pledge that we will have fun, sing and dance, and not get too crazy and bump into our neighbor :)

Sydney LOVED this- at the end of the concert, the birthday boy got a CD and the birthday girl got a fancy pink hat that says "I like being a kid"

We brought all Sydney's presents home for her to open, and what a blessing they are! Thank you, thank you, thank you for showering her with thoughtful and wonderful gifts!

One happy birthday princess :)

Happy Birthday Sydney- It's sweet to be 3!!!

Well, my sweet and sassy baby girl is 3!!!! We woke up early on her real birthday and she got to open presents. Mom and Dad got her a baby changing table, which went perfectly with the American Girls Bitty Baby that Aunt Teeny and John Austin sent. A HUGE THANK YOU to them- she loves it!!!!!!

Little girls amaze me. She knew just what to do and how to tenderly care for a baby. She gave her a bath and then needed a clean diaper and pjs. Funny, after she changed her diaper she pretended to "spray down" the diaper changing pad just like her quality approved preschool does!!!!

For her special day, Brent and I took her to our favorite donut shop, Marks Donuts. Then she took 3 donut holes to each of her friends in her class, one for each year of her life ;).

The night of her birthday my parents and Brent and I took her to Chuck E Cheese for a little play time, pizza, and of course, cake!

Wednesday night my dad and step mom took us out for, what else? Sydney's request and favorite food, pizza. My dad surprised us with a oh so yummy chocolate cake from Community Bakery.

Just one of many sweet moments I noticed last week. I took her to the Dollar Tree and gave her $1 to spend. She proudly carried it around the whole store looking, and finally picked this huge American Flag. If you know Sydney, then you know she is VERY patriotic and one of her favorite school activities is saying the "Pledge of Allegiance". She is also proudly wearing her Bitty Baby around the house, being such a sweet momma.

L-O-V-I-N-G this weather!!!!!

Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow!
Spring is almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Party Like a Rock Star Day- 3 parties!

Spencer Hamra is 1!!!!! He had a great party at a gym/party room this afternoon.

Happy Birthday Jonas and Reece Lozada!!! They had a great party with all kinds of animals in their back yard. See next post for more pics... but this is a group shot of the kids in their personalized bandannas ready to be cowboys and cowgirls.
