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!!

Happy Birthday Syd!!! I can't believe your six years old now! What a young lady you've turned out to be. Ten more years and you'll be driving! Yikes...

Awesome job with the cake, Mom! All that in at naptime? Amazing. Loved the conversation about the babies. Unfortunately I have to take Syd's side, that sounds like a lot to handle! lol You'll do wonderfully!!!

What a cool cake! When you said Hannah Montana, I imagined a cake of Hannah Montana. The guitar is so much cooler.

Sydney is such a sweet girl! I can't believe she's 6 either! She is so grown up and sounds like she will be an awesome helper when the babies come.

Auguri Sydney! How fun to have a birthday!

I love her comments about the babies--what a cute and funny girl. You must have a lot of fun with her around!

And, COOL cake! I'm impressed that you got it done in nap time! You need to pass your decorating expertise and advice over my way!

Hope that you are feeling well.
