The Deal of the Day!

So I went shopping today and stopped in Baby Gap
to see what kind of cute headbands they might have
and of course I found lots of cute things which then
reminded me why I don't go in there very often!
So, so many cute things!
Anyway... I had a "rewards" card worth $20 and
was able to use it toward my purchases. I am
not even sure how it happened and neither were
the sales people but after they entered the rewards
card, everything rang up to $0. Yes! $0! I must
have purchased just the right amount. It was
the greatest visit ever:)


Needless to say I was not reluctant at all to
show this receipt off to Barry! You can't argue
with that trip to the mall!

I had to take picutes of the receipt and
post them otherwise who would believe me!!

Happy 7th Birthday Sydney!

Sydney turned 7 on June 11th. I probably say
this every year but is seems like '7' is a big year.
Sydney had a "friend" party with some of her
best friends. They had a great time. When you
get 7 girls all together for a party you also get
lots and lots of screaming:) Yea!!!

Sydney had a beautiful birthday cake that her
Grammy made for her. It was so yummy!


Sydney blowing out her candles, here with her
friend Hannah.


Sydney and her friends. They made Princess
crowns as part of the fun for the night. They all
did a great job and had lots of fun!

All the girls... before we got the party started,
also before the screaming got out of control!


My Sydney!

May Fun!

I am posting several pictures from different May activites
so I hope it is not too overwhelming but I wanted to put some
of these things up! Enjoy!

This is Sydney's soccer team, The Daisies, we had a end
of season pizza party.


The soccer cupcake cake! It was yummy!

We had had a lot of buys nights right at the end of
May. Gracie was so tired after Aunt Carmen's grad
party but wanted to stay awake to play with Nannie
and PaPa Dick. They came over to stay with the girls
while Barry and I went to Julie's 80's party. I told you
we were busy:) Gracie just couldn't make it!


Dr. Carmen Storm! We are so very proud of her!


A sweet picture of my Sydney! I couldn't resist
posting this one!

Missed Me?

Have you noticed how long it has been since I have posted anything on my blog? Well, not long after my last post my laptop died a slow death. We finally got our new laptop today and it is WONDERFUL! Mostly because I love being able to do my computer stuff while sitting in the living room and not in the basement. This is just a warning... I will be updating my blog with our recent activities and pictures that have happened since the end of May. We have had a lot... Molly turned 2, Sydney turned 7. We are having a wonderful summer full of VBS, trips to the pool and lots of friend time.
Hope you're having a wonderful summer!

Sydney's Story

Sydney had Open House at school last week. They were paired up with a 5th grade buddy and they wrote this story about themselves. It was so sweet and funny, I just had to post it. Enjoy!

Sydney VanHorn
My buddy's name is Sydney VanHorn. She was born on June 11, 2002.
Sydney has two sisters, Molly and Gracie. Molly is one year old and Gracie is three and a half. When she wants to be alone, she likes to go to her Mom's room or Molly's room. Molly's room has toys that Sydney can play with and her mom has a TV and a soft bed.
You might see Sydney eating a fruit roll up while watching "Curious George". The she pops a stick of gum into her mouth! After she spits out her gum, she'll put on a fresh coat of lip gloss. Cherry in fact!
Sydney likes to read a lot of Dr. Seuss's works. Her favorite is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. She likes it because it rhymes and she thinks it's really funny.
She has a gold fish named Magenta and she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Sydney really likes animals. Her favorite toy is a stuffed animal named Big Kemper. She's had him since she was really little.
Even though she really doesn't like school, she would have to say that she likes spelling the best.
Sydney likes corn dogs. It's her favorite school lunch. She prefers to have them with a cinnamon roll. She likes to eat these things after a soccer game and then watch "Sid the Science Kid". It is her favorite cartoon.
Merry Christmas! Sydney enjoys Christmas because she gets lots of presents and candy. Then, after she's done opening presents, she loves eating warm blueberry pie. With whipped cream too!
Sydney's earliest memory is when she drew a picture for her dad in preschool. It's so vague; she can't even remember what was drawn on the paper!
Sadie is Sydney's best friend because she is hilarious and fun to play with! She enjoys playing pretend games with her friends and just plain spending time with them.
Sydney hates make up! It's fake looking and causes skin damage. But jewelry is awesome! If worn in smaller amounts, jewelry can make you look fantastic!
When she packs a home lunch, she likes to pack a Lunchable, Oreos and pudding. She is totally for a healthy lunch with just the right amount of fun!
Sydney loves having fifth grade buddies and she thinks first graders should have buddies every year. She would like to make a sculpture of her buddy and paint it and maybe fifth grade would do the same.
Sydney VanHorn is my buddy and had such fun with her! I wish i could stay in fifth grade forever so we can do more fun activities!
This was great! I am not even sure where she got some of the stuff in that story. I don't know if she has ever had blueberry pie! So funny. This is a keeper!

Camping

Barry and Sydney went camping last Friday, it was
a big family camp out at Camp Curry. Sydney had
so much fun and came home covered head to toe(s)
in dirt:) Here a few pictures from their overnight.
In case you wonder why I did not go... I take
advantage of the opportunity to have a Girl Night with
friends on campout weekends.

Barry and Kevin Dennis taking some boys
on a canoe ride.

Sydney, fishing, apparently she did catch a fish.
She was really excited about that!!

Sydney going on a canoe ride with her friend, Rowan.
They had lots of fun playing together while
camping and Sydney is already trying to plan their
next play date!
