No Training Wheels

This weekend we decided it was time for Dylan to start to learn to ride his bicycle without training wheels. So with a celebration picnic at the park on Sunday the wheels came off. All and all he did pretty darn good. I thought there would have been a lot more whining and complaining then really happened. I was really proud of him for getting back up each time and trying again. Check out the video of a couple of our attempts!!

Sydney, How old are you? You are 2...Yeah!!





I cannot believe little baby Sydney is already two. It just seemed to fly by!! This past weekend we celebrated Sydney turning with not just one but two parities!! To start the celebration weekend off Nan, Aunt Shanna and Papa Tom all came in Friday. We they got here we all went to dinner and then Grandma, Grandpa, Mama Jo and Aunt Karen came over to visit for a while. We stayed up a little later than we should have since we had to get up early for Dylan's first soccer game. Then the next morning at the soccer game Nana B and C-Paw and Uncle Cheese showed up. Right after the soccer game we all rushed home to change and then headed to Wiggly Play Place for Sydney's friend and family party. It was the perfect place. She just loved it. We played had pizza, sang a song and ate cake!! After the party we headed home to rest for awhile and then Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Cheese, Mama Jo, Aunt Karen, Papa Tom, Aunt Shanna, Nana B, C-Paw, Uncle Mathu, Aunt Bonnie, and BFF Camryn all went to dinner at La Hacienda...it was a ton of fun!! Then we all went back to the house to open presents and eat more cake...a princess cake. We played late into the night!! It was a really fun weekend. Then on Monday (Sydney's actual B-Day) we went to her 2 year checkup at the doctor and followed the appointment up with Pics at Kiddie Kandids in some of her new birthday fashions......Oh and I cannot forget to mention...now that Sydney is two she is wearing panties full time...we have had some accidents...especially #2 but she is doing great!! Thanks Family and Friends for helping us celebrate "Princess Sydney's" 2nd Birthday!!

Dylan's First Soccer Game




We had our first soccer game this past Saturday at Warren Sports Complex. I was not sure how Dylan was going to react. You never know with him!! He seemed pretty excited, except for the fact that we did not have our uniforms in for our first game and he did not get to start the first quarter. All in all he did really good. He even scored two goals for the opposing team!! Go DYLAN!! I was like a maniac on the sideline...as Dad said I have a type A personality and Clint told me to chill. I thought it was fun. Hopefully as the season progresses he will get better and understand the game more. I am just glad he participated!! It was really great that all our family was in town to see his first game to. Hopefully it made him feel special. Check out the pics!

Uniforms




You know, if you were to ask me when I was in elementary, junior high or high school if I wanted to wear a uniform I would have said NO WAY, the way you dress yourself is how you get to express yourself. Well, ask me now and I would say ho has time for expression...I love unifroms it is so easy to dress the kids each morning and they do look pretty cute. I kinda do miss getting to put Sydney is her cure girl outfits but we have time for that on the weekends! So yesterday was the first day of uniforms at school and this was Sydney's first year to weat them. I acutally thinks she likes it. The funniest part about Sydney was that I put her in little blue ankle socks and instead of wanting to wear them at her ankles she pulled them all the way up like knee socks...funny girl here are some pics.
