Happy happy birthday baby girl!!

Tylee had her 4th birthday. . . in August. . . ya that's how great I am at blogging. Someday I will be better so I can turn it into a book, maybe next year.

I have to start this post by saying how incredibly grateful I am for my amazing little Tylee. For those of you who know her, you know she has a crazy sense of humor, sweet personality, and is just a fun girl to be around. As her 4th birthday approached I asked her the theme she would like. . . princess, barbie, tinkerbell, Dora. . . NOPE she insisted on having Justin Bieber. It was quite the party! She was spoled rotten with all the gifts she got, including 2 Justin Bieber barbies,, Justin Bieber poster, Justin Bieber notebooks and a easy bake oven, crafts galore, and many many more things!
Edie However made her day with a life sized Justin Bieber cutout. . . Ya pretty awesome!
So happy birthday Baby Ty, we love you and everything you bring to our family. . . even the non stop singing and talking about Justin Bieber!

Syder-bug

Sydnee is growing so fast!! She is walking around everywhere, can go up and down stairs, and LOVES to play outside.
She knows what a puppy and fish say. She knows where her belly, nose, and eyes are. She can say so many words. . .
outside, bubba, mommy, daddy, baby, puppy, hi, Tylee, and many more.
Syder bug LOVES animals and shoes. . . she loves shes so much she likes to have a pair on her feet and a pair on her hands!! She is such a sweet little girl and is my little buddy! She loves to be with mommy all the time, but loves to play with daddy! She loves to follow Tylee around and wants everything Tylee has. She is a sweet little baby and I LOVE her kissable cheeks! She has the sweetest laugh you have ever heard and her cuddles and kisses melt my heart in a second! Sydee I love you so much and can't imagine my life without you!

Tylee's preschool graduation

Tylee graduated preschool! Her program was AMAZING to say the least. She had to memorize a part and flew through it no problems! I am amazed at how fast she is growing and how much she learns!! She is an amazing girl! She is currently LOVING Justin Bieber and can sing ALL of "Baby, Baby, Oh".
Our latest conversation
Tylee: Mom want to play Justin Bieber?!"
Me: Sure. . .
Tylee: who do you want to be? I will be Justin Bieber. . .
Me: Ummm I will be his mom
Tylee: NO. . . You want to be Usher????
Me: How do you know who Usher is?!
Tylee: Mom didn't you watch the Justin Bieber movie?!?! (in a totally disgusted voice)
This girl kills me! She is the funniest, sweetest, and one of the most perfect little girls I know!! I am so grateful for her in my life! She teaches me something new daily. Her kindness for others astounds me, her love for her sister amazes me, and her sense of humor reminds me that life doesn't need to be so serious. Tylee girl thanks for teaching me so much! I love you more than you know!

ONE YEAR!

One year ago this week Sydnee Elizabeth was born! She has been an amazing blessing in our lives!
She is an amazing little girl. She always has a smile on her face. Her smile can melt me in a second and those chubby cheeks are so irresistible! Sydnee is shy but silly. She loves to play with her older sister, especially chasing her!
She loves her daddy especially when he tickles her.
She can say "hi daddy" , dada, mama, bubba, she knows what a puppy says, and where her nose is.
She is in the 50% for her weight and 75% for her height.
She can crawl up stairs with no problem, can walk all over the furniture, and she can stand by herself for quite a long time.
We LOVE our little Sydnee bug and we are excited for everything to come with her. Happy Birthday sweet Sydnee!

Tylee is growing up and getting so big!!
She is loving preschool and dance, she does however want to add tumbling to the mix. . . I don't think I can handle that
many things so I told her this summer maybe LOL
She LOVES to ing songs and is constantly making us laugh. She says the craziest things. . . I really need to be better about writing them down! She Still loves Harry Potter and has currently been wearing her Harry Potter Tie for a week now!
Tylee is very into coloring and is very good at it! She LOVES Farrs fresh Ice cream and would go everyday if we let her.
She is a great big sister and is actually quite patient with Sydnee.
Sydnee has 2 yes 2 teeth and is currently working on cutting 4 more on top. . . the joys!
She is a master of crawling, standing, and scaling furniture, however she has no desire what so ever to walk.
She can say hi, dad, bubba, mama, hi dad, and yay! She knows what a puppy says and does the little ruff so cute! It makes me smile everytime. SHe LOVES pretending anything and everything is a phone and that she is talking to her dad. She just sits and says "hi dad, Hi dada" Pretty funny!
Tylee and Sydnee love playing together! Especially in the bathtub, our bathroom looks like a monsoon hit it after every bath!
I love hearing them laugh and play together and I hope they always have fun together!
We have 2 amazing girls. It amazes me how fast they are growing up! I feel like I was just pregnant with Sydnee and she is
the big 1 this month?! Where did the time go?!

Balancing act

Tyler loves to do this with our kids! When he did it with Tylee it would scare the heck out of me, but he never dropped her so it does not scare me quite as bad with Sydnee. . . still makes me a little nervous.
Sydnee you are gettting so strong and big to do this!!
I love her face in these pictures.
And what do ya know?! Tylee still loves to do it too!

Beautiful girls

Preschool!!

Tylee had her first day of preschool on September 8,2010.
She LOVED it! Tyler and I dropped her off and she went right in and played with the kids. I had to laugh though, because as she starts playing she looks at some of the kids and says "So, do you like Harry Potter?" Oh she kills me!!
When I went to pick her up I kept asking her how it was and what she did and she said "MOM, IT'S JUST PRESCHOOL, we just did preschool stuff"
I then asked if she made any new friends her response was "yep, Kelton and T.J." I can't believe how big my baby has gotten and how fast it has gone! All I can say is I sure enjoy watching her grow, but wish it would slow down a bit :)

death of the swing. . .

Tylee had a tragic weekend! a little backround. . . When we moved to our house we kept all the baby things out since she would be here soon, well Tylee re-adopted her baby swing! She had it in front of the T.V. and would ALWAYS sit in it! She loved it! It slowly started getting lower and lower and lower to the ground, but she still loved it! She loved to pick her feet up off the ground and swing the heck out of it! Well one night she was putting her feet up to swing and BANG it broke and fell to the ground! At first she was in shock and then it sank in that she no longer would have her beloved swing! So after 2 days of her crying and asking me if we found a new one, my sweet sister Tiffany came to the rescue and gave us a new one that can hold up to 45 lbs! THANK GOODNESS!!

First rice cereal

Sydnee had her first rice cereal on 8/6/2010! She is not quite sure about it!
