Make a Wish!

Sydnie turned Four Years old on September 29, she had
a cousin party that was very simple, and fun.
She just wanted to share cake with her cousins.
We are lucky to have Sydnie in our home,
she keeps us laughing, and always tells us she loves us!
Happy Birthday SYD!

Big Girl Bike ride!

This was their first ride outside of the driveways!

They had a really great time!

It was a beautiful fall day, and what a better

time for a bike ride on the big girl bikes.

We rode up and down Ascutney St. and

they did a few circles in the Funeral Home

parking lot. You would think they have been

doing it for years. Our Little girls are not

so little anymore.

School Days are here!

Sydnie on her way into school.

Let's go Mom, I will finish my bagel in the car!

Sydnie had to be in front, while walking the older kids to school.

TWO COOL KIDS!

They are looking good for their first day back.

Flowers

Some of my Favorite Parts of Summer!

I really Love Flowers, in the garden in a vase,
in a picture, just about anywhere.

So I have pictures of things that I love!

These two little beauties are found on
Mount Graham, near Safford, Arizona.

Traveling West!

A cool Building in Memphis Tennessee!

A fascinating sculpture at a rest stop in Tennessee.

Somewhere in the Middle of America,

having a pic-nic on the side of a road,

near a graveyard.

Hershey Museum, Hershey, PA.

Bathtubs were used to move Hot melted

Chocolate to the different machines for molding.

Our second day of travel started with

a tour of the Hershey Museum.

It was very cool!

Better Blogging

So I have bee busy, but that is no excuse! So here I go again with another catch up post. Maybe I will get better this summer. Here is a little of what has been happening. I guess the real test will be how long it takes me to get Wyatt's birthday posted...

This is one of Austyn's Favorite presents.
It is a pop up book about Kit Kitridge an American Girl.

And her cake with the candles.
I love her face in this photo!

The inside of her cake was a rainbow.

Austyn is 8 years old!

Here is the Birthday Girl in her new Dress!

Right Before she was dunked! Her Brother and Cousins sang
after she got baptized, they did a great job, it was so cute!
High fives went all around after they were done.

Easter!

Austyn had her Company Concert for Dance
on Easter weekend. They did Peter Pan,
she was a lost boy. It was very well done, from
the costumes all the way down to the dance and
story acted out in dance, it brought a tear to my eyes.
It was really beautiful!

Here they are in their Easter best, a week later!

Thanks to Aunt Chris, the kids were able to color
Easter Eggs while I went to school. They had a great
time, and the eggs look great!

a catch up post on what we have been doing

While walking Buddy In the Cemetary near our
house, I saw this, and the artist in me was inspired,
so I took a photo, and here it is.

Here is Sydnie after a long day at a Dance Competition!

Just a little stretching!

This is Whole Wheat bread that I served for my
Presentation in My Nutrition class. So I have been
pretty busy, just writing papers and baking for school.
