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!

Cue Fergie- "Glamorous- Glamorous"

Sydney wanted to be "glamorous" for school.
I heart little girls :)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

"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"

Getting serenaded with a special version of "Happy Birthday"

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 :)
