Look at us now! We are growing so fast!

Visit from the toothfairy

We have teeth! 2 of them sharp things!!!

Trick or Treat

The kids enjoyed Halloween this year, even though it us pretty chilly.

Long time, no post...sorry!

My apologies for not posting in a while. I find it easier (and more addictive) to post on Facebook these days. I will try to post here again too.

More pictures

A few pictures from John Deere and Carter's first Twins game with daddy.

Welcome baby Carter!

Carter Benjamin arrived today at 6:53 am. He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 inches long. He is adored by his big sister. Everyone is doing great.

Happy Day!

Happy Easter!!!

Story Time

Sydney loves books and loves to be read to. Lately she has started reading to us and her babies. It is quite funny...

Sydney's new digs

We finally put stuff up on the walls in the big girl room. David is super proud of one wall in particular...

From the mouths of babes...or a 2 1/2 year old

The following takes place as we were putting our shoes on to head out for bible study. Sydney finds a tape measure that was just her size sitting on the counter.

Sydney: I want to take this to bible class with me.
Mommy: No, lets leave it here on the counter...(as I am picking her up and taking the "treasure" out of her hands)
Sydney: (while walking to the car)...Yeah, lets leave it at the house. Because if I take it to bible class someone else might try to take it from me and play with it. And I don't want anybody else to play with it.

************************************************
The following takes place while daddy is trying to give mommy some alone time while she plays on the computer.

Daddy: Sydney, lets leave mommy alone. Lets go put that puzzle together.
Sydney: (already half way down the stairs as David picks her up screaming) Daddy, I just want to check my e-mail!

************************************************
The following takes place almost daily and usually right after Sydney gets up from her nap and mommy has just attempted to lay down for a power nap.

Mommy: Do you want to see baby brother moving and kicking mommy?
Sydney: (standing up ready to body slam mommy, then falls to her knees) Mommy I want to give baby brother a hug (wrapping her arms around my belly and laying her head on my tummy). Can you say "awwwwwww?"

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Sydney goes to a "Very Fancy Tea Party"

Sydney was invited to a "very fancy tea party" by a friend. We got all dressed up and accessorized. Surprisingly, she kept the boa, rings and purse on for a while. She still talks about getting all dressed up and going to the tea party.

Sydney's new "big girl room"

With baby brother on the way Sydney is graduating to a big girl room. The furniture arrived last week and daddy is almost done with the finishing touches in her closet. We decided it was time to move her clothes into her new dresser.

Lately we have not been wearing much in the way of clothing. Yesterday she refused to put on a shirt or shoes, however you can see that she wanted to "dress it up a bit". Then we decided it was time to put our jammies on...at 4:30 in the afternoon. She wanted to do some posing for mom and then started jumping on the bed. I know it is a bad habit, but I did finally get a decent picture.

Why we did not send out a Christmas card...

Sydney does not smile in pictures anymore.

Time for the monthly post!

I know I have been slack and I am sorry. However Sydney is going through a phase where she will not let us take her picture. Instead she wants to take our picture and see it. The Digital Age has her in its grasp!!!

Almost a picture for the Christmas card.

Christmas Helper

Sydney really liked decorating the tree for Christmas this year. I gave her a select few, non-breakable, ornaments to hang and re-hang and re-hang and re-hang. She moves the ornaments just about everyday.

Trick or Treat...

Sydney really got into Halloween this year. When she figured out that all she had to do for candy was smile and hold out her bag she was all over it! We were a ladybug this year, thanks Aunt Nancy and Cousin Kylie, and the weather was FABULOUS!
