School Harvest Festival

Sydney's boots were made walking... to the Harvest Festival at school!

Getting a tattoo...

Sydney and Miss Kathy (her teacher at school right now).

Sydney and Miss Marium (another teacher at school).

This is Sydney's Pre-K teacher, Miss Jande. She just had a baby so Sydney was so excited to see her at the festival!! Miss Jande comes back right after Thanksgiving - we can't wait!

This is Sydney's teacher from last year, Miss Cita.

A Girl Moment

I had the day off and picked Sydney up early from school for some girl time. I got a new pair of shoes in the mail and Sydney was very excited to try them on!

But more imporantly, we had some fun girl time and went and got our nails painted as a reward for Sydney. She got to pick out all the colors and the flower. So much fun!!

Road Trip to LA!

We packed up the car and headed south for the weekend to see Cousin Taylor, Aunt Cori, Uncle BJ and Aunt Kiki.  Sydney was SO excited!!

 Still excited!!

 Sydney wanted to make sure we got a picture of her and Minnie on our stop for food.

 And of course, Sydney's favorite pose for the camera...

 Our pilot and co-pilot.

 Here we are again at the request of our backseat driver and Minnie Mouse.  She wanted a family picture!

 Texting with Aunt Cori.  The message read:  HhdhfYYYyyyuuUyYYuiiiiioiddkjdbjdjjkdkdjjdyanasuruiefkduksjtdsahhvdyEijdhddhhddyyhewjsjjujJjjjjjjjkjjjkkkkkkkkkkkddkKkkKkkkkkkLlllkkkkkiiiiIoiiuuuuUiujjdfiiogkg

 Owl eyes.  Another one of Sydney's favorite poses.

 Being crazy-silly at the gas station.  Sydney wearing PJs and her cowgirl boots - quite the statement.

 Talking on the phone with Aunt Kiki.  Alvin and I thought we were going to have to pay a babysitting fee - they talked for 20 minutes!!  Topics ranged from baby dolls to zoo animals and everything in between.

 And here we are at the Wickett's house!  Sydney and Taylor are playing in the front while we get ready to go to breakfast and the beach.

 Hard to tell them apart sometimes.

 Crazy.  Beautiful.  Ladies.

 Breakfast with our little Crazies...

The Beach!!  Sydney has been waiting for this moment for months. 

 Ready to tackle some waves...  Wait for it...

Wait for it... 

 Run!!!!

 Wait for it...

 Daddy is looking for the perfect shell to take home.

 And later that night this little fellow had plenty of treats to offer...

 While our perfectly behaved little angels had some tricks to offer...

 Yes, there is pen all over their bodies.  We never did find out who had the brilliant idea to create human art as both of them wanted to take credit for it.  My guess is it was a think tank moment and they both came up with the idea together.  Yes they are dressed in the most hilarious costumes.  This is Little Bo Peep and her Sheep.

Yes we had a fabulous time!!!

Helping Daddy

Alvin and Sydney are putting together a new bookcase.

Sydney figured out how to put together the canvas baskets all by herself.
