luv my aunt jodie

Sydney is so spoiled. Her Aunt Jodie comes home from school on the weekends to spoil her. As you can see from the pictures Aunt Jodie has motive for "watching" Sydney...

Cousins...boy cousins

Sydney is loved by so many people. She has become quite used to her boy cousins Jaxon, Sloan and Drake. They are so sweet to her. They wash their hands as soon as they get to Kiki and Pawpaw's and then tell us to "smell"- they use blue raspberry scented soap. They will find Sydney and touch her and hug her then the chaos begins. All the toys are out and the boys are playing.

For Halloween Jaxon was the purple dragon, Sloan was T-Rex and Drake was a caveman. He loved Princess Sydney and was so excited to show us her eyes and nose. He got a little too excited and accidentally poked her in the eye.

I am glad that she has such sweet cousins in Texas to love her. I know that her Minnesota cousins will love on her just as much!

Happy Halloween!

Sydney's first Halloween was pretty uneventful, unless you consider being the only girl with a dragon, T-Rex and a caveman a party. Sydney palyed it pretty low key this year but we did pose for pictures with the cousins. We went as a princess this year and the outfit turned out pretty cute.

Though we are too young for candy, we still got a neat Halloween book from Kiki and got to take our first ride to the farm.

Welcome to Texas!!!

We arrived safely in Lubbock at 10:30 am on Monday. The flights were very good and Sydney was VERY good. She woke up Monday morning around 2:30 and was up until our flight left at 6:15. She slept for most of the flight to Houston and all the people around us commented on how good she was...I think they were just glad that she was not a screaming baby! The flight to Lubbock was just as good, though she did not sleep as long. Our prayers were answered for a safe trip and a good experience for both of us.



We were met at the airport by Aunt Jodie who had a sign made by Aunt Candice and the boys (Jaxon, Sloan and Drake). They had also written a message on the back of mom's car. Everyone has loved their "Sydney time" and are so excited to finally meet this little girl.
