Sydnie's 8th Birthday Party at the Fun Park 2013

After the craziness of May had worn off, Sydnie finally got to have a "Friend" birthday party at the Fun Park!  She had waited so patiently for it....ok, maybe not that patiently.  She asked me every day, about it.  She planned it, prepared it, and knew exactly what she wanted to do.    Here are a few pics of the fun we had.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy 8th Birthday Sydnie!!!

Sydnie Turns 8 while camping at Devil's Creek

 We have a Memorial Day tradition, which takes us to Devil's Creek Reservoir.  This year was no exception.  We went May 24th - 27th, 2013, and spent the weekend with Grandma Shirley and Grandpa Von, and Julie and Brian, and their family.  The weather was wonderful and the best part, was that Sydnie turned 8.  

(I hope she enjoys spending her birthday in the great outdoors, because that seems to be a tradition too!)

Crafting - making pens for mom to take to the preschool.

Sydnie - waiting very patiently to open her gifts.  She picked what we had for dinner that night, turkey fried steaks with stuffing....

 Our neighbor Katelyn, Hailey, and Rylie also waiting to open presents

I guess one of the perks of having a birthday while camping, would be that you get to have cobbler for your cake. (Atleast mom thinks it is one of the perks, cause she didn't have to worry about a birthday cake! Whoot, Whoot!)

Sydnie wanted her dad to make a cherry chocolate cobbler, which was delicious!! 

Happy Birthday Sydnie!! We Love You!!

One More Birthday Party

 On the 7th of July we went over to Grandma Shirley's.  Our cousins were here from Illinois for our Cousin Gunner's baptism.  We also celebrated Hallie and Remie's birthday....one more party!

Aunt Julie got the girls umbrellas.  I ended up with one in my bed the next morning.

Grandma got them new fishing poles.  We will definitely get some use out of them....and hopefully they won't fight over them now!

Hallie and Remie are 3!! & 4th of July Festivities

Hallie and Remie have turned 3.....WOW!  There are times I think back and it seems like just yesterday that we found out we were having twins, and then there are other times that I think, WOW, they are only 3.  They both have such fun personalities and bring such a joy to our home.  
Hallie is definitely more out going and more "brave."  She does have her moments, but she is generally ok to do her own thing.  She loves pink and sleeps with about 14 babies or dolls in her bed.  Ok, maybe not 14, but I bet there are at least 5.  She is also very sneaky and loves to go outside without telling mom!  And of course, Remie is right on her heels.

Remie is mommy's little helper.  She is always right by me...all the time! Remie also loves to make mom happy.  She is more reserved then Hallie, until she is comfortable and then she is good to go.  Rem loves purple and loves to play with Rylie and Sydnie's "pet shops" & "pollies."  She also loves to tell mom, what everyone else is doing.

They both are talking sooo much!  Some of the things they come up with, make me laugh!  I wish I could come up with something off the top of my head, but it is blank.  I do know that if someone, "passes gas" they always say, "Daddy stinks!" No matter who it was!!!  

They love our neighbor, Julianne.  She is our next door neighbor, and if they have disappeared, that is generally where I start looking.  They call her "Julie."  If I can't find them there, I look at Katelyn's house, where the big girls like to hang out.  They think they are so big.  Sometimes I think they are 3 going on 12.

3 year old Stats..

Hallie...26.6 lbs (10%ile)  36 1/2 inches (35%ile)

Remie.... 26.8 lbs (15%ile)  36 1/2 inches (35%ile)

When asked what they wanted for their birthday, Hallie said she wanted a pink one, and Remie said she wanted a purple one.  So our neighbor Jennifer brought them over a pink and purple cupcake.  They thought it was great!

They also got bubbles from Jennifer, Britney, and Katelyn.  They loved them!!!!  We have such wonderful neighbors!!!

The next morning we went to Soda to celebrate the 4th of July and the twins birthday.  
On the way, in the car, Rylie put bows on Hallie and Remie.  They then said, they were the presents.

Uncle Jeff ran with Avery and Sydnie in the Kids 1k, prior to the parade.  I told Sydnie, that the only person she has to beat is Uncle Jeff...she did just that! 

 

KaCey, Remie, and Hallie - waiting for the parade to start.  They did great gathering all the candy for mom and dad!  Although I think we need to work on gathering more then just one piece at a time.
