More pictures {heeheehee}

I know I've post A LOT of pictures, but I got a new camera from my grandma, so I've been playing around with it :D You know how it is...you get a new camera and it becomes your new best friend. OK...well maybe only for me. Anyhoo...enjoy all these pictures [grin]

Sydney has become a BeAuTiFuL young lady of the Lord!

Mari loves to be around Sydney 24/7!

Sydney loves to smell the Lord's beautiful handy-work (OK I admit this picture was posed...but it turned out descent).

Toby loves God's handy-work too...he had just caught the poor butterfly. Luckily I was able to save his "captive" (praise God)!

I love the face she's making in this picture!

Sydney takes picture taking very seriously!

I told her to act goofy...oh the faces 5 year-olds can make at a camera

I'm not sure if I like this picture...I think I do. Let me know what you think

Notice anything cool about this shot...(hint: look inside my ring) Tell me what you see

We were at a pizza place and I was bored. Now luckily I had my camera, a clean napkin, and a pen. Those three can create a result like this picture :D

This picture is for you all...notice anything in my hair? I'll try to get better pictures up on here soon, but this will have to do for now.

*Have a great Wednesday night!*

A HUGE picture post

I know, I know these are a lot of pictures to look at, but I just wanted to be nice and share some of my favorite pictures of Sydney with you :D  ENJOY [grin]

This was another one of Sydney's "super-model" pictures

 Dad and Sydney walking toward our picnic table at the park.  Dad just got a new job, and was thrilled to wear nice work clothes.

Sydney on the tire swing at the park, she has gotten so BEAUTIFUL :D

 Sydney was trying to figure out how to get up to the monkey bars

 Once she got up she was insistent on getting across to the other side 

 OK I admit this WAS POSED, but who cares?  It turned out pretty cool!

 Sydney was trying to get off the tire swing, but was stuck...I just love her face :D

 She's still trying to get off...she didn't even ask for help!  She has such an independent personality 

 My mom, OK I stole this idea from Sam :p  Thanks Sam for the awesome picture idea!

Toby and Sydney just LOVE each other, I just love this picture of them

 Toby loves getting his face scratched...he is an absolutely cutie!

I got this picture if she is enjoying school...can't you tell she absolutely enjoying it?

AWESOME...you made it to the end of the post!

*I hope and pray that you all have a wonderful Wednesday!*

Photo shoot fun

About 3 days ago, Sydney and I had a whole lot of sister fun.  I put make-up on her, did her hair in the only hairstyle I can do with her hair...until it's long again.  Then she put on the dress that Amber sent her (she LOVES that dress), then I took a few pictures with our mom's camera.  I thought I'd share a few of the pictures with you, hope you enjoy them.

 Sydney loved the fact that she was able to pretend to be a super model!

I think she took it too seriously :)

 This is my absolute FAVORITE!! 

 Sydney was so excited that she was able to wear make-ups (she basically wears it to the Daddy/Daughter dance which is once a year).

*I hope you all have a blessed weekend!*

Hugs from Texas,

Introducing...

...

For as long I can remember Syd has always wanted a cat of her own, but our landlord has told us NO MORE ANIMALS!!! It is stopping us...but not all the strays in our neighborhood :D So Sydney has been praying, and praying, and praying for a cat to call her own. Then suddenly, this little guy comes along! So immediately Syd thinks that this is the Lord's answer to her prayer. So now Toby has officially adopted us, and just today brought over his TWIN!!! So we will continue to feed our three cats!

Hugs from Texas!

Household Happenings ~ 3

Hey everyone! Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still alive. I haven't been blogging much because Amber came down on Tuesday, and will be here until next Wednesday. But here is what we've been up to:

1. Spending time with Amber while she's here
2. Getting picture outfits ready for the coast tomorrow (I'll post the pictures of Amber, me, and Sydney)

I'm sure there are more happenings that I can't think of right now. Tomorrow Dad, Mom, Amber, Gabriela, Sydney, JC, Justin, and I will be taking a trip to the coast. While we are there my mom will be taking mine, Amber, and Sydney's pictures. So I will be posting all the pictures we take tomorrow some time soon.

Hugs from Texas,
