July Fun

First, let me say "Happy Birthday Brent!" to the sweetest and most supportive husband and wonderful dad. We love you!!!

My Aunt Cathy sent me this over facebook "It's been too long since a post. I know it's hot, your fat, your busy, your tired but..... what about me?!?!?!"
Ha ha ha! Truer words have never been spoken!
Last weekend we went to Fayetteville for my cousin Britton and Holly's wedding weekend (congrats guys!!! Such a beautiful couple!!!!) We stayed Thursday night at the Double Tree and celebrated Brent's birthday with room service, swimming in the indoor pool and a yummy red velvet Razorback cake. Is it just me or do you guys like to stay in a hotel too???

Dang- Keri emailed me these 3 pics and they are uploading tiny. HUGE thank you to Keri and Jeff Boyd for keeping Miss Sydney for us Friday night while we went to the rehearsal dinner. She loved being in "Boyd Land" which is what I call their very fun house!

Here is a sneak peek at Miss Kate's room!!!!!!!!!

Somer Clark Day- you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO SO SO much for your talent and your friendship! She helped create exactly what I wanted for Kate's room.

This is the tree after day one- we have since added leaves and I am very happy with the way it turned out. Stay tuned for more pics...

We had tickets for Nick Jr. Live last week, which was Backyardigans, Wonder Pets, Dora and one other show we have never seen. Dora went last and during the first 3 Sydney kept saying "Where is Dora??" but we had fun and enjoyed the show. We actually went with several of our friends, including Emma and Elli, and I didn't get pics with all the dance girls and my work crew and their kids!

Sydney and I after the show with her Dora doll. One funny thing, right when Dora came on stage I looked over and Sydney was holding her Dora doll over her head to show Dora I guess-? Funny girl!!

This shirt is for you Aunt Cathy! I saw it at Walmart and KNEW Gran Jan would have loved it!

Uncle John came over one afternoon to play soccer with his biggest fan

And finally, John Austin and Corbin came over and played while they were in town. Whew- we still have more work on sharing toys. For some reason that morning, Sydney was really struggling with sharing but we loved getting to visit and John Austin really is the sweetest little man. Come back over soon and we'll share the Dora guitar AND microphone. Maybe :).
