Princess Party

Since Sydney is so obsessed with Disney princesses, we invited some of her friends & cousins to a princess party.

We had the kids make fruit loop necklaces. Apparently we don't do enough crafts with our children. Sydney didn't understand what we were doing here.




















Savannah was very proud of her necklace. She had a good old time at the party (more than Sydney did).

















Logan came to, but he didn't participate much in the games.

















Instead of pin the tail on the donkey, we had them put stickers on the castle. I had Bob draw a castle for the girls to put them on, Sydney was very impressed.































We had a princess cake walk where we had different princesses that they could walk on while listening to Disney princess music. When the music stopped we asked who was standing on a certain princess, then they got to wear or hold something related to that princess.






















Sydney's boy cousins felt bad that they weren't included (only girls were invited at first), so we told them that they could come, but they would have to put up with princess stuff. They were mostly good sports about it; however, Matthew treaded lightly because he didn't want to wear any princess apparel (silly boy, we had a sword waiting for him).

















Oaklie dressed up like Jasmin.






















Little mermaid for Kelsey (even though she was too tall for the picture).






















Savannah is enjoying her poison apple after landing on Snow White. (We didn't actually poison that apple).






















Sydney got to wear the Cinderella Slippers (we made sure that this happened because she would have thrown a fit if anyone else put on her slippers).






















Here the girls got to hear clues to guess the different princess dolls hiding in bags. Here are the girls guessing (which they were pretty good at), they all got a prize for each princess.

















Here is the princess lineup with the prizes they got below.

















It took awhile for Sydney to decide which princess she wanted us to make a cake of, partly because I don't think she really understood what we were asking for. She finally decided on Cinderella. She's a little short, we actually had to temporarily yank off her legs to get her to fit. We like to think that she's kneeling down or something.









































































It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.


















Here is Sydney in her princess pjs and with all of here princess dolls.

















The girls got these really cool pillow princess books (you can see Logan's Cars pillow book in the background. What a good idea.

Sydney's Birthday

Sydney turned 3 on Tuesday. She's obsessed with Disney princesses so we got her some princess barbies which kept losing their accessories which frustrated Sydney. We went to lunch at Carl's Jr. with her cousins so she got to play on the playland. That night we went to the Surf and Swim with Tim and Christine's family. She had a blast. Oh, and Sydney got a bike from Bamma and Bampa which she absolutely loves!

The Aquarium

Bamma and Bampa (Lindy's parents) took us to the aquarium for Sydney's birthday. By the end Sydney was so onry. She wasn't able to touch the sting rays because they were to far down in the water and her arm wasn't long enough, that is if she didn't want to get the rest of her body wet. Savannah was happy the entire time, and Logan slept through it all.

4th of July

Here's some pictures of the girls at the Murray parade and at Grandma Joyce & Grandpa Clint's house doing fireworks.

Busy summer

I'm sorry about not posting anything. Its been very busy to say the least. We had the baby (just in case you haven't read the last post, I won't put the details here). I've been working at a year round school. We've been trying to get somethings fixed with our house (like the fact we have no grass in our backyard). And just trying to keep up with our girls. They keep us exhausted constantly. By the time we get them taken care of (bathed, fed, put to bed, etc) we just don't want to do hardly anything so we watch movies, level our toons on WoW, eat orange floats, or read to each other (I'm in the middle of reading Twight to Lindy). We keep busy, oh and I got offered a calling at church, but I haven't been sustained yet, but it'll keep me very busy. So, I'll try to drop a line with a picture here and there.
