CALIFORNIA TRIP PREVIEW

We went to California for my sister's wedding and a mini mini vacation last week. We had fun and the girls were great!!! Here is a preview of our trip (there will be more to come):

OATMEAL BUBBLES

Sorry it has been so long. Poor Sydney has the chicken pox so we have been taking lots of oatmeal baths (it is supposed to help with the itching). She loves it. This video isn't very good quality because I took it with my cell phone, but she is blowing bubbles in the oatmeal water. She is doing ok with the chicken pox but she has a cold that seems to bother her more than the chicken pox. Anyway, she is a trooper...still happy and smiley most of the time!!!

I PROMISE, THIS WAS NOT PLANNED!!!!

After taking pictures with the whole family, my sister discovered this:

Hear, Speak, and See No Evil

THANKSGIVING WITH THREE

This was our first Thanksgiving with three kiddos this year. We are so thankful and blessed!!!! It was good to see everyone and eat lots of good food!!!

Yeah!!!! Uncle Josh and Aunt Adrienne brought the bounce house to Papa Jack and Mimi's house!!! Fun!!!

Danielle was an angel. She completely took care of Kaylee and Brooke. She read them books, played school with them, kept them off the stairs and even fixed their plates for dinner. She was amazing. I tried to get her to come back to Abilene with us, but she has lots of other people to take care of in Irving:) Thank you, Danielle!!! You are a blessing!!!


This is the newest nephew, Cohen. He is 3 months old...and he would smile for me every time I talked to him. (Remember: Sydney is 51/2 months old....)

Nana and Sydney

Kaylee and Brooke love Nana's beanie babies!!! Kaylee was carefully placing her animals on Papa Mickey. Just part of a grandpa's job description, right?

Papa Mickey and Nana's grandkiddos: This is the best I could get. I thought it was cute that Kaylee was trying to help Sydney.

This picture made me laugh. Brooke was cracking up at Cade and Dane.

Aunt Cheryl was sharing her trash with Brooke (never ending stomach).

RANDOM STUFF....

The many faces of Sydney Kate:

Brooke has a five hour limit on ponytails. She always takes them out and this is the result:

Brooke got some kind of virus last week that caused her to wheeze. We had to do breathing "tweatments" for a week. After about the 3rd day, she wanted to hold it "all mysef". Next thing I know, she doesn't even have to use her hands. Talent!!!!

I asked Brooke to give Sydney a toy so she would stop crying. She decided to go the extra mile and give her all the toys!

HALLOWEEN 2008

The girls were little princesses this year. Tim said they were more like fairies...I thought fairies had wings...princesses, fairies, ballerinas, whatever you want to call it, they were cuties and they had fun. I only got pictures of Kaylee and Brooke before we went to Kaylee's Fall Party at preschool. Sydney was still asleep so she didn't make it in the pictures. I planned on taking more when we were in Mineral Wells to see Tim's family, but I forgot all of the costumes. Surprise, surprise. So, here are the few pictures I did take.

Here are pictures from last year.
