6 Years Old!

Friday we celebrated Sydneys 6th birthday!! I can hardly believe how fast 6 years has flown by. I feel so blessed to have my Syd. She is such a sweetheart and has such an earnest desire to do what is right. She loves so much to be a helper. This morning was a perfect example. On Sunday mornings her job is to help the boys in the car and help them buckle. She is so good with her brothers and it really makes her feel important to have this responsibilty. When I got to the car Sydney had pulled out a book to read to Jack to keep him happy while he was in carseat. I told her how nice it was that she took such good care of her baby brother and told her I was so glad she was happy to help because I might need her help when our babies come. She responded, "ya mom when you have your babies I can feed one while you feed the other one."
Another time we were writing letters and she told me she didn't know what to write next. I told her she could tell them how excited she was for our babies to come. she said," I am excited for one baby to come." I asked "Do you not want two babies?" She said,"I just think it might be alot to handle." It made me smile I then explained that we can just work together and we can do it. She responded,"Well I just think it will be alot to handle while I am at school."

How lucky am I to have this girl!!! I just love her so much!!

It was so fun to see how excited Syd was for her birthday she woke up Friday morning so excited for her special day. She requested "pancake balls" (ebiskews) for breakfast. After eating breakfast Tyler then gave her some special things for her lunch at school. She danced around saying, " this is the specialest day ever!" It was so much fun to see her so happy. She of course asked for a Hannah Montana cake, which I spent all of Jack's nap making. When I asked what she would like to do for her birthday she told me she would like to decorate shirts with her friends. I told her she could invite 3 friends. So we picked up her friends after school and they had so much fun. They were definately creative with their shirts and had so much fun doing it. She of course love opening presents and especially loved getting packages in the mail from her grandmas and grandpas, Thanks for those, that made her day extra special!!

Going Private

I decided I am jumping on the bandwagon and making my blog private. I feel bad doing this because I have reconnected with so many great friends. But I have heard some scary things lately so I think it is time. So if you would like an invite please leave a comment with your email address so we can stay in touch.

Sugar and Spice and Everthing Nice!

We had our big ultrasound today and it looks like two baby girls!! We are all so excited. Even Layton said he's "likes" the two baby girls. In the ulstrasound they could only see one placenta so there is a possiblity they are identical. Now we just need to think of two girl names. Any ideas?

Halloween Fun!

Halloween was so much fun!! I love seeing the excitement in my kids about getting dressed up and getting all those treats. We started out our Halloween day with orange pancakes. Thanks to my cute sister in law McKel who shared the idea of putting food coloring in her pancake batter to make it more fun,it's an easy way to make breakfast part of the holiday fun. Later the boys and I went to Sydney's school to watch her Halloween parade. They love going to Syd's school and are so excited to see her in her classroom. It was fun to see her excited to see us there too! We then went and did some trick or treating on base and then went to our wards Halloween party and trunk or treating. We all had alot of fun and the weather was great, we didn't even need jackets on. Tyler took the kiddos around trick or treating and I handed out the candy at our car.When he got back he was telling me all the cute things our "jack"o'lantern was saying, so of course I had to take him around again to watch my cute little guy. At each stop he would repeat what the person giving the candy would say like "there you go", and he said "thank you" after treat give away and then wait for eye contact from them to wave and say "bye". He has really taken off with his talking and it is so cute and fun to watch. Layton I think was just thrilled to wear his batman costume and all day he sang a song "Im going trck or treating!" Sydney had fun walking around the trunk or treat with her friends and made several rounds through the cars.
Tyler and I just got a kick out of watching them in all their excitement. It was a great night!!!
