Addyson is 3!!!! Can it really be??!!

My little baby girl is 3!! I can't believe it. Where has the time gone? We love you so much Addyson. You keep me on my toes, as I can never let you out of my sight or trouble will be brewin', and you keep us laughing hysterically! You are definitely one of a kind and we are so blessed you are ours.


So, Addyson wanted a princess party, so I decided to go all out with the cake this year. My talented friend, Lisa C., showed me how to make fondant and showed me how to decorate a cake with it. She rocks!!!! Addyson loved her cake and didn't mind that the towers looked like they were falling down! :)


We got to do some of her favorite things...dress up like princesses, paint nails, put on makeup, spray glitter in her hair, eat cake and open presents. Cinderella even came by to put their makeup on. They were just so excited that she came all the way from "Far Far Away" to see them. Her best little girl friends were there, which made it just perfect for her.

Addyson, or should I say BELLE, is awaiting her party guests!
Addyson was jumping up and down when the first 2 girls came and brought presents.
Our dear friend Stacy dressed up like Belle for the party. She's a riot! The girls loved it!

Sydney was such the big helper with the little girls. She took it upon herself to help them with the games and get them their refreshments and make sure that they all felt included. I see a great future babysitter!

Sydney lost her 1st tooth

So, she lost her tooth a month ago, but I've been slow about getting things posted!!! She was soooo excited, as you can see. She pulled it out Monday of the 2nd week of school in Spanish class. she wanted the tooth-fairy to leave her tooth for her, give her $$ and candy. I thought that leaving candy wasn't very responsible of the tooth fairy, but she did it anyway. :) Sydney was so happy.

She wanted me to take pictures of her lost tooth, and it turned into a Sydney-Addyson modeling session. :)

1st Day of Kindergarten!!!

Sydney and Daddy before he leaves for work. They were both excited for the 1st day of school. :) My little ham. She loves the camera! She is wearing her "crayon" dress that Annie got her special for the 1st day of school, and her "school" bow that has a little backpack in the middle of it.
Her backpack is so big for her!!
My beautiful Kindergartener....She's the prettiest one in her class, I'm sure! :)
Her teachers are so sweet. Miss Marks and Mrs. Lile.
They saw us walking down the hall toward them and Miss Marks (the one on the left) said, "SYDNEY!! Come and give me a big hug!" Of course, I loved that! We found out at Open House that Miss Marks specifically asked to have Sydney in her class after Syd's initial screening. I'm, of course, so proud. :)

Summer visit to Virginia

It's so fun going to VA every year to visit Travis's parents "G's and Pops". Not only is it fun for us, but the kids have an absolute blast. Kayleigh and Sydney are the same age and are best of friends. Addyson and Madison are the same age and just love each other. They are so cute, but so full of mischief. Travis dubbed them the "giggle twins" because they were constantly giggling together. Next time we visit at Christmas, Rylin will have a buddy too! Tawnya's newest addition, Mckenna.
