My first blanket

Last week I went to Threads of Love and my friends mom showed me how to knit a 18" x 18" blanket for a premie. I wasn't sure if it would turn out good, but I tired anyway. So two days ago I completed the blanket. Here is a picture of it:

It's still on the loom because I have NO IDEA how to get if off.

I'll post another picture when the blanket is actually off the loom.

She's nine!

Tuesday Sydney turned nine years old and made it known :) When we went to the DPS office she made sure the employee knew it was her birthday. Thank you Ladybug for taking time out of your day so I could take the driving test. She absolutely loved the gifts she received from family and me.

Wednesday we actually "celebrated" her birthday and went to an amusement park called ZDT's. We absolutely had a blast (again) at this place, they had added two new rides, one is called the Dizzy Toucan and the second one is called the Hydro Coaster. Before we knew it, it was time to go home. Sydney (and I) had a GREAT time!

Here are some pictures I took on her birthday.

This is what I got when I told her I wanted a smile.

I think she was just a little excited :)

Sydney had just made a wish or said a little prayer, not quite sure which one she decided to do. All the credit goes to my dad for taking this picture ~ love you dad :)

2010 Summer Reading Program

Just thought I'd let you know what Sydney and I have been up to the past two months.

At our local library they have a reading program every summer. So Sydney and I have been reading, and reading, and reading :)

Here in Central Texas they have a water-park called the Schlitterbahn, so Sydney and I are both entering our name in that prize bucket (we chose Schlitterbahn because it is REALLY, REALLY expensive).

The winner of the Schlitterbahn prize gets 2 tickets, so Sydney is entering her name into the kids Schlitterbahn prize bucket and I'm entering my name into the teens Schlitterbahn prize bucket :) Being there's four of us in the family if Sydney wins the kids Schlitterbahn and I win the teen Schlitterbahn all of us can go!

And I've also found out that I'm "competing" with a friend of mine. He and I are almost tied. He has nine or ten and I have sixteen :)

The reading program ends in 6 days so I'll make sure to post if Sydney and I won or not.

Love a sister in Christ and in purity,
