"Be Our Guest" Disney on Ice!

We had a really fun family Saturday- Disney on Ice!
We went with the Boyds and their grandparents, but before we went we had to fill up with a yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel. The girls fell in love with these hilarious puppies.


They are here!!!! Micky and Minnie!!!!!





This was "our" favorite number- all the Princess couples and the Fairy Godmother!!!
Look at these sweet girls! I swear we didn't pose them, they started holding hands as we were walking out :)

Beautiful Spring Weekend

Sydney is loving that her eyes are turning green "just like Daddy's" and this morning they both looked so cute in their green church clothes I had to grab a picture!
Yesterday we celebrated Emmy Smith's second birthday at a fun party at the gym. We love you Emmy!!!

OK, I hate taking the belly pics, but I have a really neat scrap book page for Sydney of my belly at several different weeks. I am going to try and capture the same for the new baby. This is us at 16 weeks. I had a doctor appointment Friday and the heartbeat was loud and strong at 156 beats per minute. I wondered out loud what Sydney's was and she looked in my chart. At 16 weeks, Sydney's heartbeat was 150. So I said "It's a girl!" to which my OB said "It's a healthy baby! You can't judge the sex just on heart beat." but I am still voting girl. We scheduled our ultrasound for May 5th!!! Any votes- pink vs. blue????

Swing Set!





HUGE THANK YOU to Brent's parents (Nan and Poppa) for the wonderful swing set they built for Sydney's 3rd birthday. She has always loved swinging and playing at the park, but to have one in our back yard is such a blessing. We are all loving this beautiful spring weather outside and having something Sydney loves so much is making it even better. Thank you!!!!

Easter Fun at Erin's

Huge thank you to Erin for having the girls (Karoline, Anna Beth, Sydney, and MacKenzie) over to dye eggs. I forgot my camera, but here is one of the wild things very hyped up on sugar, goldfish and Easter magic :).

Big Buddies- Sydney and John Austin

So, Sydney won't drive her Barbie Jeep but had NO fear on JA's green gator. Literally, she almost drove over sweet John Austin and into the fence!

Spring 2010 catch up

Well, hey y'all! Ever just go through a few weeks of not wanting to see life through a camera lens??? I just have been enjoying this gorgeous spring weather and working and playing and growing a human and not blogging! But there is a time for everything God says, and I do have some cute pics I want to share/remember. Sydney is SO hilarious these days, just the things she says and does crack us up all the time. She asked me at dinner "Where did your dinner go?" and I said "In my belly" to which she leaned forward very seriously and said "Where did that baby go?!?!?!". I imagine she was picturing a baby with chicken spaghetti dumped on it's head, but who knows!?!? The pregnancy seems to be going smoothly, and I am finding myself feeling a little more "normal" most days. I am almost 15 weeks along, so the pink vs. blue countdown has cranked up in my head! My wonderful Aunt Cathy from Wyoming was in town for several days, and we got to spend some time with her. Below is a snap of us at dinner at Copper Grill- yum! That is Cathy, my dad, and then on my right is my brother John. People have been saying Sydney looks more and more like John these days!
Easter weekend was really beautiful and fun. We were invited to a birthday party at a little boutique/spa for girls on Saturday and Sydney had a BLAST!
I mean- what is not to love??? Showing off her manicure-

Getting her makeup and hair done-

Ta da! It must have been a "green" day, because she picked a green fairy costume and green hair spray. Did I mention this was the day before Easter and on top of green they applied a TON of glitter. I was nervous it was going to make an appearance at church but it washed out.
A fairy princess tea party-
Followed by a fashion show :)

Karaoke
After the fabulous party, Merrit and Greer's church across the street was hosting an Easter party, so we stopped by with our fancy makeup, hair and pettiskirt. Yes, we were over dressed.

The girls got to hold real bunnies
Loving the puppy dog
An egg hunt. Poor thing, I didn't know we were going to the Easter party, so of course I didn't have her basket and she had to borrow one. She told the girls at the gate twice that she did have a basket but Mommy forgot it.

Easter morning we slept in- ha ha we wish. Sydney was up bright and early to see if the Easter Bunny had come. She was very happy to find a basket of goodies, Princess and the Frog movie, and a Minnie Mouse dress with tickets to Disney on Ice.
And that sneaky bunny even hid eggs that she dyed at Aunt Erins!
What is wrong with us and Easter morning!?!?!?! I swear, every year we are rushing to church and never get a good pic! I even told someone this year I was going to get her dressed up the day before for a pic in her dress and I forgot. Oh well. This is her arriving at her Sunday school class Easter morning! I have the best of intentions!
After church we cooked out burgers at Brent's parents house, and Aunt Whitney brought her a huge princess basket. Huge hit Whit! Thank you!
