Happy 2nd Birthday Sydney!

We had a weekend of parties for our now 2-year old Sydney! What fun times they were. As you can see, it was a Cookie Monster theme. She loves Cookie Monster. I had in mind to make a REALLY cute cake for her, and, had it worked out, it would have been. Unfortunetly, the leg and then the head decided to fall off---several times. It left a not-so-great looking cake, but it tasted good! Since that didn't work out, I went with cupcakes that came out pretty cute.

Steve and I wanted to match our Cookie Monster so we all had on Monster shirts (Sydney has on one too even though you can't see it). I think that is probably the last time I'll see Steve in the shirt. ha!!

I will post even more pictures of the parties tomorrow, hopefully.

Praying With Daddy

I don't think I've seen anything more heartwarming than this. Sydney and Daddy got her prayer book out and was praying for each of her family members. She was actually kneeling on the couch with Daddy. So sweet!!! I know God was smiling, because I couldn't stop.

Sydney's New Pool

A great friend of our gave Sydney this pool this summer. We've only gotten to swim in it once. It took me a long time to get it ready. Glad I had an air pump!

McD's Playland With the Kids

We watched Clay & Emma awhile ago, and we were able to go to McDonalds with them. Uncle Kevin came after work and joined us. They had so much fun in the Playland even though they could only play in the one small section. Even Emma wanted to join in!
