Spring break at the Zoo









We thought it would be a great idea to go to the zoo today since the weather was beautiful and it was spring break...so did everybody else. We knew it was going to be packed when we had to pack in the grass BEFORE the zoo even opened! It was miserable at times but overall we had a wonderful time.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Spring Break Fun Day 1- Duck Pond



We enjoyed a beautiful day at the park and duck pond. It was perfect weather and the girls spent all afternoon playing at the park and feeding the ducks. We then headed to a ceramics place where the girls were able to paint their own masterpieces. I cannot wait to pick them up next week!

Smart Little Girl!

It has been 9 months since we held you in our arms for the first time. You have grown up so much and you have amazed us in every way. We love you so much!
I cannot believe that you are making 100's on your spelling tests! Way to go Sydney!

She brings out the kid in all of us!

Gardening with the Daisy Troop







We have been growing spinach at our house for the past month in preparation for the big planting day. All of the Daisy's planted whatever they were assigned to grow in a special garden. The girls had a lot of fun but soon realized that it was hard work too. The highlight of the day was releasing the worms into the garden. From that point on it was all about the worms!

My favorite breakfast food...

Sydney loves pancakes...LOVES pancakes. She usually has at least 2 every morning with an egg (over easy), and some fruit. She even requests them for a snack or even for dinner. I can't believe that of all the new foods she has tried in the last 8 months...pancakes are the winner.

Sydney gets her grove on to "Snap Back"



Sydney loves to dance to rap music and is very serious about it. Now that she knows English for the most part I have to watch what she listens to. This is her favorite song and luckily they still rap to fast for her to understand what they are saying. The name of the the song is "Smack That" but she thinks they are saying "Snap Back" so I go along with it in hopes that she will not figure it out.

Sydney sings the months



Too cute!

"Look Mom and Dad, no training wheels!"



Sydney learned to ride her bike without training wheels today with the help of her big brother David. She was so excited and we were very proud of her. Thanks David!

Note: We usually insist on her wearing a helmet. I didn't realize she did not have one on until after I was filming.

Beautiful Day at the Park





We went to the park after school on Monday since the weather was so nice. Sydney had a great time with her friend and I was glad that I remembered my camera.
