Finally a Post and our Sweet Girl Sydney




Sydney is such a fun little personality. She loves to be front and center of everything and loves to do everything "myself". She really loves her cousins - even if she doesn't get to come to all the fun parties they have. She insists that Kenna and Addison are coming each day. She is just a month away from turning 3 and we love having her in our home.

Spencer's Baptism

Spencer was baptised on Saturday, May 2nd. We had a great day with lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. He asked Grandpa to baptise him - they had done lots of practicing so he felt pretty comfortable. We are just glad Grandpa didn't say his name as "red cheeks Sheets".

Spencer and Stockton are pretty good friends - a little crazy together, but Spencer wanted to make sure Stockton got in a shot.

Spencer was a little nervous his dad would feel bad about asking Grandpa to baptise him. I heard him asking Sophia about a week before his baptism if Grandpa could and Sophia said no. She told him Dad would feel bad. Michael talked to Spencer and told him it was okay. Spencer decided he need to pray about it - (I promise he said this). He is kind of a sensitive kid. He was glad that his dad could confirm him. Both Grandpa and his Dad could have a part.
We are sure proud of Spencer and the good decision he made.

Oops - one more

This one is fun for keeping those cute ribbon headbands in. The ribbon bugged Syd though and she yanked it out - well I had to help her because it was stuck in there.
It would be cute all curled in the back or in piggies again.


Hair Do pictures for Ashley

Just so everyone knows - I dindn't make up any of these hairstyles. I have totally copied them from other people. I am not that creative. This one is easy with two rows of puffy braids as I believe some people call them. I then just joined them with crooked part piggies. Sydney is not the best model. I literally have to chase her around the house.
Piggies with puffy braids.


This was Sophia's valentine day hair do. I kind of looks like a heart right?

This hair do turned out so pretty and is so fast and easy. Just twists on the side joined in a side messy bun.



This is the messy bun. It's cute with a flower thrown in there too.





San Diego Temple

We went to the San Diego temple on our last day there - it was closed. We still got a pretty good look though. This is Grandpa telling Stockton and Spencer their 4,954th story.
Such a beautiful temple!

This is the view from our motel room. We stayed at the Catamaran in San Diego and it was so close to the beach. We were a little bummed though because it rained the last two days so the kids didn't see the beach much. Overall though, we couldn't complain about the weather on our trip it was great!



Lego Land Fun

This is how our day started going to Lego Land. Syndey had a fever and didn't feel very good. She wanted to just lay down with her binky and blanket. It was actually an easier day because she wanted to stay in her stroller for once.
The kids had fun playing with Legos. There were lots of playground stuff for the kids to play on. Sophia and Spencer were a little big for things though.

So many cool things to look at. Everything is made out of Legos - I guess thats why they call it Lego Land. This is the minature lego version on Hollywood.


By the time we were about finished it had started to rain. We were running to get out, but we had to get a picture with Elvis!




More Fun

We got to go to SeaWorld and see Shamu - or Shampoo as Grandpa called him.
We were able to "Dine with Shamu" when we were there and get a really close look at him.

This was our lunch buffet - lots of good food
