My ADORABLE Little Fairy Princess

We are celebrating Halloween all week and last night was the first time I got Sydney in her costume. She thought she looked beautiful (which she did :) ) because she was prancing all around the house and my mom came over to see her and Sydney literally ran out of the house screaming "Gigi!!!" just to show her how fancy she was. Adorable moment I want to remember!!! Below is the one minute she actually wore the flower hat that matches it, but we just moved on to a pink bow and went with it.

The view from the back...

Sweet John Austin Levin got to go to the Zoo with us, and Sydney just loves him. After he got out of the car, she kept saying "Baby?!?! Baby?!?!? Baby?!?!?" over and over.

The best costume of the night... Greer Napier! (Accompanied by her stroller)

The Birthday Twins Sydney and Jackson Wolfe

The crew... Emery Porter, Jackson, Sydney, John Austin, and Greer

Accompanied by their hot Mommies who froze their buns off to take them

And then today was Sydney's Halloween party at school. Now, I know that I am biased, but our school rocks and today was no exception. Below are some of Syd's bestest buddies...

Lilly the poodle

Sanae the pumpkin

And Nicholas the explorer or safari hunter

My sweet baby girl!

These are the awesome bags that Ms. Chelsey made for all the freshman to take their loot home in. How thoughtful!

Ms. Shannon telling a spooky story by flashlight at circle time. Sydney LOVES Ms. Shannon!

They also ate like crazy people all day, played games, painted pumpkin art, carved a pumpkin, sang songs, and did I mention the treat bags ;). I heart Sydney's school!!!!!!!!

Fayetteville Weekend

Whew, she is exhausted from all the fun. We went to Fayetteville for the weekend and tried to cheer the Razorbacks on to victory. The good part was the fun we had with friends and family while we were there. HUGE thank you to Mimi and Gigi who watched Sydney while we went to the game! The Levins flew in and Friday night we got to celebrate at the Boyds- just like old times!!! Tailgating was fun, except for the bad parts: I wore very uncomfortable shoes (NEVER go fashion over comfort on game day. I may have to wear flip flops tomorrow due to multiple blisters), I forgot my camera, and oh yeah, we lost the biggest game (in my opinion) of the season. Just wait Houston. Just wait. The crowd said it best "Bobby. Bobby. Bobby."

Brent and I were busy running around trying to get out of the door on Friday and I realized that I baby proofed under the sink- mostly. Picking up 5000 Q-tips took up the time for a pit stop on the way Brent promised me. Thank God for Elmo DVDs. And snacks.

Happy Halloween week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sydney's Year and a Half Pictures

These are a few sneak peeks at Sydney's pictures we had taken today. Paige Horras took them and she promised a CD with tons of beautiful photo shopped pictures in about 2 weeks. I will post the rest when I get my hands on them! I can't believe that Sydney is a year and a half!!!!

Family Night at the State Fair

Emma actually got on stage to sing with one of the acts in the Children's Area and the toddlers loved watching.

Please read the sign. Only at the State Fair would parents actually pay to let their kids feed these animals.

Elli's Entourage!

Elli's Entourage took over Rollin' on the River yesterday morning. It was really fun and special to be apart of it. Easter Seals has played such a huge roll in Elli's life, and countless others, and it was wonderful to participate in such a neat event. The best part was that Elli was chosen as an Ambassador for the race and her team won "Most Spirited Award" plus the DJ from B-98 said we also won best t-shirt and color pattern (pink and brown). Erin was the team's personal photographer and she did a great job capturing many of the wonderful moments. We are so proud of you Elli! Keep growing and learning sweet girl!

Tiny Dancer

Sweet Greer loves "Sissy" as she calls Sydney

"Yes! I did it! And Ms. Tara has suckers at the end!"

Tonight we tried a little toddler dance class that has started in our area. I was very curious to see how Sydney would do since she is the youngest by several months, but she LOVED every minute of it. We had 20 minutes of tap and she cried "no no no" when it was time to take her taps off. But she recovered for 20 minutes of ballet and a sucker at the end. Now, let me assure you that my goal for this entire year of dance is following directions from the teacher, encouraging other friends and taking turns, not learning all of her dance positions or anything serious. But it was very fun for both of us, so we signed up. Stay tuned for more hilarious and very sweet pictures.

Pumpkin Patch '08
