Happy 60th B-Day Oma!

Well, I have been super bad about posting on this blog lately.  I guess life has just gotten in the way or something!  I wanted to post a few pics tonight of some things that we've been up to!

Jayda and Sydney performed at the Hornet football game with the cheerleaders and grenadier guard last friday night.  They did the dance and cheer camps the past few weekends and were asked to come out to the game on friday so they were super excited!

Our little "future hornet".  I just love her little t-shirt!

All ready to cheer on the field with the cheerleaders!

Lets GOOOO Hornets!!!!!

Jayda and Casey, one of her mentor cheerleaders.

Sydney with her favorite cheerleader, whose name was also Sydney!  And she loved Casey too!

The girls loved dancing with the grenadier guard on the field.

On Saturday we celebrated Oma's 60th Birthday!!!  We had a little birthday brunch at the City Hall Cafe and Pie Bar.  Everything turned out so nice and Oma really enjoyed it.  Yay!
The pretty cake and bday invite.

The table arrangement.

Oma and the girls!

Happy birthday to you!!!

Molly and Halley had lots of fun at the party!  Molly loves Avery!

Party girls!  Somebody wasn't too crazy about their party hat. ;)

And a little party guy!

All of the grandkiddos at the party!

Sisters!

We were so happy to be a part of Oma's special day!

We headed straight from Oma's party to the Fair on the Square for the girls to perform with their dance studio.  They both did such a great job!  Sydney did a tap routine and Jayda did a jazz routine.

All lined up to go on stage.

Ready for their tap show!

I took Avery to the duck pond today for an impromptu photo session.  I just ordered this adorable Matilda Jane dress for her and thought, why not go and take her picture in it?!  She was so cute and was posing all over the place.  I love this girl so much!  She is such a happy girl and has the sweetest little spirit ever.  She is so loving and caring.  She is always looking out for others, especially her sisters!  She asks questions constantly and is so smart!  She picks up on things very quickly and talks a ton!  I can not believe she will be 3 in December!!!!







I think that's it for now!  Next up, we'll be having Baby P #4!!!  I can not believe she will be here in just over 6 weeks!  Here's to our lives getting even a little bit more crazy! :)

Our New House, Jayda's 8th B-Day & First Day of School!

This little sweet pea loved swimming in her baby pool this summer.  We put up "Avery's pool" every other day it seemed and she had so much fun playing in it!  She is certainly a water baby!

We moved into our new house in the middle of July!  We were all so excited to finally get in our own house again!
Woo-hoo!!!!!

Ta-dah!!!  It's our new house!

Jayda was super happy to get her very own room back!  She's been sharing a room with Sydney for the past 2 years since we've been back in Huntsville.   She loves her own space. :)

Avery was pretty darn excited to get her own room too!  She even got her very own closet, and doesn't have to share with Mommy anymore. :)

Sydney loves her new room!  She was so happy to get her own room after sharing with Jayda for the past few years.

Jayda turned 8 years old over the summer on July 24th!  She is getting so big and grown up!  The morning of her bday she went to art camp with her BFF, Gabby.  They had lots of fun that morning and finished painting all of their pottery pieces that they had made over the week.  After art camp Jacob picked up Jayda and Gabby and brought them to our house.  I had made lunch for everyone so we ate and then enjoyed some yummy cookie cake and ice cream for her bday.  Jayda opened all of her bday presents and then we headed off to Splashtown!  All that Jayda wanted to do for her bday was to go to Splashtown with her best friend, so luckily we made that happen. :)

Opening her bday presents.

Birthday cake time!!

And then it was back to school time!  It seemed like the summer went on forever in someways, but in other ways I can not believe summer is already over!  The girls met their teachers last Thursday.  They both really like their teachers and I think they are going to have a great year!

Heading out the door to meet and greet last thursday evening.  
Sydney's kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Alton. 

Jayda's 3rd grade teacher is Mrs. Moss.

And  then it was the first day of school!  It's so crazy that summertime is already over! 
I can not believe that we now have a 3rd grader!  Holy moly, time is flying by so fast!  Jayda is growing up into such a sweet and mature little girl.    We know that you are going to have a great year and we love you so much Jayda Michelle! 

And of course they had to get a picture with their little Daisy dog! 

It does not seem possible that our little Sydney is already in kindergarten!!!  I was absolutely not ready for this day to come!  Sydney is quite the little mommy's girl and has enjoyed her time at home with me.  Last year in pre-k she dropped down from going 3 days a week to going 2 days a week so that she could be home with me. :)  She is such a sweet girl and has such a good heart.  I am so sad that I won't have my little buddy around all the time, but I know it's time.  It's time for her to spread her little wings and grow up.  She is so excited about kindergarten and had a great first day.  Mommy is going to have some adjusting to do, but hopefully I will get used to it soon.  We are so proud of you Sydney Anne and love you to the moon and back!

Sweet sisters on the first day of school!
