SYDNEY KATE: PHOTOSHOOT

Sydney had a photoshoot today in one of my favorite dresses. Here she is....

KAYLEE IS FOUR!!!

Well, technically she is still 3 but we had her party today and as soon as she blew out her candles she said, "Now I'm four!" We had a fun day with all our friends and family. We appreciate everyone taking the time to celebrate Kaylee's fourth birthday!! Thank you!! It was a blessing!! Here are a few pics from the day:

FINALLY...WE ONLY HAVE TO BUY ONE SET OF DIAPERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS!!*

I can't believe it...Brooke is finally potty trained!!!! We have been working on it for 10 days and she has not had any accidents for the past 3 days...kinda. She is still working on #2 and she tinkled today in her panties because she hit her head and immediately started screaming...and...well...I guess she can't cry and hold tee tee in at the same time. But, I have a friend that can't laugh and hold tee tee in at the same time and she is 28 years old. So, we are going to say it is official: Brooke is a big girl. She even wore her big girl panties to church today and did great!!!! Yeah!!!

*Yes, I exaggerated a little on the title. I think we had a few months before Sydney was born that we only bought Brooke diapers.

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).
