Sydnee's Birthday Party/First day of school

Holy Cow, She's 4! - A look back

It's hard to believe our sweet Sydnee will be 4 in a few days! We love her so much. She has an innate goodness and such a kind spirit. She is also a great big sister to the twins. Happy Birthday Syd! Here's a brief look back.

6 years!

This Saturday is our 6th anniversary. It's hard to believe we have been married that long, and at the same time it seems like forever. Sloan is truly an amazing person. He works so hard for our family and always strives to do what's right and I consider myself lucky to have married a man like him. Here are just a few things we've survived in the past six years:

*Both of us finishing college
*5 moves
*The arrival of our 3 daughters
*2 LONG pregnancies (even though it was me carrying the babies it was both of us that survived because I am NOT a pleasant pregnant person)
*Not being able to bring our twins home from the hospital when they were born & surviving 17 days of back and forth trips to the hospital
*Buying and selling 2 homes

I love you honey! Happy Anniversary!

Cutest girls ever!!!

Princess "Camp"

This past week Sydnee went to day camp at her preschool. It was princess themed and all the girls came dressed as princesses. She absolutely loved it! They did lots of fun things. They made a crown, a princess hat with flowing ribbons, painted beautiful flowers, colored pictures of princesses, made jewelry, ate pink cookies and had a picnic with the cowboy camp. It's hard to believe she is growing up so fast. I can't believe she will be 4 next month!

4th/Swimming/Randomness

We have teeth! Aubree & Kilee both have 2 teeth now! Kilee got hers really close together. Aubers has had one for quite a while and her second one just popped through yesterday. They are growing so fast! As of their 9 month well baby check they are exactly the same height (almost 30 inches, 94th percentile!) and only 4 oz. apart in weight. I sure love these little girls!

The other day Sydnee & I were outside with Jake and she said "Mom!, look there's a rainbow!" It was so beautiful I just had to get a picture!

The girls all ready to go out swimming. It was the twins first time. Kilee loves the water, but Aubree screams if we even put her feet in. We'll have to work on that!

This year for the 4th we decided to just do fireworks at the house rather than drag the twins somewhere. Here's Sydnee with her sparkler. This is the first year she has been brave enough to actually hold one.

Fun in the Summer Sun!

Sometimes the kids and I go and have lunch with Sloan at work. This past week we picked up a pizza and all went to the park near his work. After we ate, the kids played on the playground for a while. They all had fun and the twins especially loved the baby swings.

Aubree

Sydnee has been taking swimming lessons for the last 2 weeks at the Veterans Memorial Pool in Pleasant Grove. She did an awesome job! She passed her class (the preschool level) and is ready to move on to level I next summer. She had a really fun time and has become a lot braver in the water.
