Las Vegas

Andy and I just got back from a weekend in Vegas. Andy's brother Sam, let us use their time share. THANKS SAM and EM! It was so nice. The weather was 80 degrees, we laid out by the pool and got sunburned. Okay let me clarify, Andy got sunburned. It's not his fault its mine. I am horrible at applying sunscreen. I don't smooth it around very well. Well lets just say I missed a huge spot on the left side of his back where he has some splotchy red spots. Funny, I recall the same thing happened on our honeymoon to Hawaii, in Lake Mead while we were dating, and at Aunt Kaylas a couple of times. Lets just say I am living up to my reputation at being the worst sunscreen applier ever. I hope that he can forgive me. It was a much needed break from reality. We vegged the weekend away! I have the most wonderful, patient husband in the world! Thanks Andy for a great weekend!!!

Can't Get Any Better Than This!

Maddie is amazing! It only took us four tries to finally get her picture coming down the slide!

These are some pictures of Sydney's birthday party that she spent with some cousins at Kangaroo Zoo.

Andy and I had the opportunity to go to Mason's school on Monday. He received an academic award. There was an assembly in which he was presented with this award. I was so proud of him. He is a very happy and talkative child, sometimes he talks too much in class. Earlier in the year Andy and I got a few phone calls from his teacher. She was asking for our help to find a way to not be so distracting in class. (I wonder where he gets that from?) Mason has done an amazing job. He quickly took responsibility by bringing notes home and having us sign them. His teacher said he is doing wonderful. He has found some self control. Despite all talking in class he has been able to keep up with his school work. He is very smart. What an accomplishment. Good job Mason!! Keep up the good work. Your dad and I are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday Sydney!!

Sydney's birthday is next week , but I wanted to post a tribute to her. She is amazing!!
Sydney is a very special girl. She keeps us moving. She has a funny sense of humor and loves to play jokes and be silly. March is the month that we get to celebrate her. Sydney is my biggest helper. She sat through many therapy sessions with Cole and Ada and I have found that she quickly picked up on things too. She talks to Cole like I do, she sits Ada up on all fours to help her learn to crawl. It's like having two of me around. I appreciate her so much. I don't know what I am going to do when she goes to school all day next year. I love her so much.
Sydney loves to play with friends, jump on the tramp, and go to gymnastics. She can do a cartwheel.
Her favorite food is Top Ramen, (yucky) her favorite color is "pink and purple" . I think she thinks that is one color. She loves library day at school.
She has the most beautiful hair! Happy Birthday Sydney! We love you!
