.....and I bet if she really wants one in the future she'll get it! HaHa! She has Daddy wrapped around her little finger!

Tea anyone?

Sydney went to the cutest little birthday party last weekend. It was for her friend Audrey-Ragan who turned 4. Everything was so cute! They had dress up clothes and accessories for the girls to get fancy. They also had makeup and nail polish. Once the girls were ready they had a tea party with their baby dolls.

Girls are so much FUN!

John Evan is crawling!

This is random, but I just had to share the beautiful tulips that Chris got for me and Sydney. We were so excited and surprised. I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! John Evan has been scooting and pushing back for several weeks now. Well, today he decided to crawl forward! He is so cute! We all saw it and Sydney gave him a big hug and said "I'm so proud of you!" He is 8 1/2 months old and that is exactly how old Sydney was when she started crawling. Well, I gues it's time to rebabyproof the house!

John Evan and Luke-they are going to be the best of buds!

I just have to share how great it is having two kids. It was really hard at first and I thought I would not make it. Now it is wonderful. Don't get me wrong-it is still tough.. But just seeing John Evan and Sydney interact together is well worth all the bad days. John Evan is constantly watching Sydney and she loves to make him laugh. They are just amazing together. Okay-I guess I am just a proud mom!

Chris and I took Sydney to the gymnastcis meet last Friday. We had a blast! Sydney loved the beginning where she got to see the cheerleaders and Big Al. We had really good seats (row 7 right infront of the beam) thanks to Amy.

You have to look really close, but there are 7 really hot guys with their shirts off on the front row.


Sydney had a blast shaking her shaker... she kept accidentally hitting people with it.

My neice, Shelby, turned 3 on January 29th. She had a Dora birthday party at the park. The kids had a lot of fun playing!

At church, I work in a Presidency with 3 other women where we plan activities for the youth in our area. On January 20th, we had an A.R.M.Y. (A Righteous Mormon Youth) youth conference. It was really fun! We had everything decorated real cute and we even had a real Army Hummer outside. I hope the youth learned a lot!

Me, Annie, Teri, and Edie all decked out.
Sydney decided she wanted to dress like me even though she was just going to Gran Gran's. How cute!

Our second cousin, Jackson, turned 1 in January. He had a Cowboy birthday party. It was so cute! All the kids were dressed up and they had so much fun.
