Six Month Sweetie!

Sydnee is getting pretty good at sitting up. She can roll, but doesn't do it very often. She's still just as happy as ever! It's like she's too content all the time to bother rolling and moving. So she is our big chunky monkey! She looks just like Shaye did, almost exactly. I will try to scan a picture of Shaye soon to compare them. Sydnee is eating rice twice a day, and we are about to introduce vegetables. As always, the time has gone so fast!!

Girls Weekend in Dallas

This weekend about 13 of us girls went down to Dallas. It was such a great weekend! We shopped way too much, ate way too much great food, had some crazy moments, and saw Twilight. It was a much needed getaway, and the husbands were so great to take off work and stay home with the kids. Here are a few pictures!

We are off to Dallas to see Twilight (among other things.) I will let you know how it is when we get back. I have to admit, I am a little nervous. I don't know how Rob Pattinson is going to live up to my version of Edward, and I hope they didn't deviate very much from the book. Its perfect how it is!!!

Run for Your U

This weekend was the United Way Race. After Shaye's Fun Run, Sam and I both did the 5k. Who do you think was first? . . . .Of course he was! Sam finished in 24:40, meeting his goal to be under 25 minutes. And I just wanted to beat my previous time of 28:22 which I did, finishing about a minute quicker at 27:36. It was fun to do one together! And maybe one day I'll be able to keep up with him! :-)

Fun Run

Shaye wanted to participate in a race after watching Sam and I do a few lately. She finished the 1 mile Fun Run in 10 minutes. We were so proud of her! She did her best and hopefully had some fun too!

Halloween 08

This year for Halloween Shaye was Elizabeth Swan (from Pirates of the Caribbean) and Jaxson was my little Knight in the Shining Armor, and Sydnee was the typical baby pumpkin! We had the trunk-or-treat at our church of Wednesday night and on Friday we went up to Sam's office for some trick or treating and then around our neighborhood with some friends. There are so many Halloween activities, and we had a lot of fun again this year. The kids got SOOO much candy. I filled 3 large mixing bowls full of it. Tomorrow I am throwing more than half of it out, so please let me know if you know of a good home for it! :-)

The Many Sides of Jaxson...

Look what happened when I tried to get one good picture of Jaxson in his Halloween costume. He is so animated, and to us, so adorable!!

More Halloween pictures to come...
