Tag



So my cuz Stacey tagged all my kids, which I am so happy about because
I love to talk about my kids. Mostly I brag, sorry I just think they
are so great. Tyler thinks it is funny. He calls blogging, bragging
because he says it seems like that is what everyone does. But that is
what i love about the blog, I love reading others' 'brags' as well as
writing my own.
Anyway I will have to so just one child each day. I wish I had more time to blog and do it all at once.

SYDNEY MARY BARNEY
All about Sydney....at least five things about my Syd!



1.Sydney is ALL GIRL!! Really. It is just who she is because I am not
that way at all. She loves to dress up, put on makeup, play barbie,
play house (which she has to be the mom), do her hair,paint her nails,
and if she could wear a dress or skirt everyday of the week she would!
She even has 'the walk' down. Really if any of you have seen it, it is
hilarious. When she gets all ready and is thinking she looks pretty
cute she has this girly walk she does. It cracks me up. She is definitely a girly girl!

2. Sydney is super smart. She loves to learn! She could spend hours
writing letters or drawing or coloring. She just loves to be learning
and doing hand on things and would much rather be doing things than watching any show, which I love!!! She loves going to school and I love that she is so interested in it!

3.Mother Sydney!! Sydney likes to be the 'mom' to her younger brothers.
She always lets me know if they are doing something that they shouldn't
be. I love this and don't love it at the same time. However she is
really sweet with her younger brothers and is always willing to help
them out with anything. I love that she watches out for them and is concerned about them. I love that when we drop off Sydney at school she gives all her brothers a hug and a kiss. I treasure this becuase I know it won't be long and they will have out grown this. Though I hope that day never comes.

4. Wonderful helper. I love that Sydney likes to be doing whatever I am doing. Cooking is usually afamily affair whether it is dinner,rolls , cookies, whatever I usually have both Sydney and Layton helping me. The same goes for everything I
do. Sydney loves to help me do laundry, fold laundry, sweep, mop,vacuum, make beds, dishes. Really she likes to do it all, but only if we are doing it together. If Iask her to go do something by herself sheis not so excited about it. Particularly picking up the toys. However she has become a great peanut butter sandwich maker all on her own and will occasionally make her own sandwich for her school lunch, pack it
up and all.

5. Sydney is a sweetheart. Really she will often tell me I look pretty, or she likes my shirt. Just today I asked her to get ready for gymnastics, after she got her leotard one she came to me and said, "Thanks for reminding me to get ready for gymnastics , Mom." She is such a sweet girl. I always love watching her with her friends. We have been trying to learn about being a good friend, and letting our
friends have or do what they want instead of us. It is been great
watching her make those good choices that make other people feel happy.
She has also come out of her shell just recently and loves to talk to
and meet new people wherever we go. Sydney use to be so nervous of
these new situations and it has been great to watch her gain confidence
and learn to be friendly with others.

I love my little girl so much!! She brings me so much happiness,laughter and fun!!

Sydney is the sweetest little girl. She will be the most adorable student. I wish I had more kids in my class like her!

It sounds like Sydney is as "girly" as ever. She souds like a wonderful daughter to have around. I admit, it's fun to brag about our kids, it makes me feel such love and adoration toward them! So keep on bragging!

Nick and Stacey said...

What a cute post! It is fun to get to know her more since we don't see you guys very often! What a good helper, she must have learned all those good qualities from her fun mom! I will have to see you guys sometime and notice the "cute" walk.

Kennie, also, keeps asking when Sydney is coming to visit. All my kids are so excited for you guys to come!

Stacey said...

Oh my goodness!!! First, I have to let you know that I scared Maddy half to death with my "Woo-hoo, It's the Barney's!" when I saw your comment! I have no idea whatsoever how found my blog but I'm so glad you did!

Of course we remember you... It's the Barney's!! You're awesome!!

Your family is so wonderful! Not to mention grown a bit since we last saw you. Sydney is darling and quite the lady already. Layton seems to be all boy and then some. Hi, Jackson! I'm sure you've got both of your hands full.

How exciting to be settled into your own home, I remember our many chats about that and now you've got it - in Oklahoma!!

Aren't blogs great; you've got a new avid reader!

I love Sidney! Reading this makes me really miss her sweet personality. It also makes me realize how much she's grown UP! So fun to see kids change and mature. What a beautiful girl!
