Dr. Suess Week - Day 1

Sydney's school is celebrating Dr. Suess' birthday all week long. Today was crazy sock day. Here's Syd making a crazy face wearing her crazy socks.

Mischievous

She loves climbing on chairs, opening drawers and pulling everything out - all day long to my dismay.

She just started when I took this picture therefore the floor is pretty empty.

She's a cute and curious little girl.

Silliness

At the Zoo

The weather has been so wonderful here. We are outside all the time enjoying the best season to live in Florida.

Keep It Between the Lines

Last weekend, we went to visit our friends and celebrate their birthdays with them. We had a great time. They have a Powerwheel Barbie car (previously seen here). It really is a kid pleaser. What got me was how much Aubrey loved it. She would sit so still and rest her right arm on the car like she was the ultimate cruiser.

This one cracks me up - both looking in the exact opposite directions!

You can't drive without sunglasses!

A little love at the birthday party. Good thing we have years until she drives the real thing. We'll have to emphasize "Keep your eyes on the road." : )

We do enjoy the plain ol' bike too.

More Pigtail Pictures

As requested. : )

Geez. This is reason number #2 I have been finding more grey hairs.

Pigtails!

Just Another Regular Week

Why on earth did I let the girls talk me into buying them a recorder!?

She's playing hide and seek with the cat (who's in under the blanket).

And yes, that's super cute sweater on top with pj pants for the bottom. I can't her jeans to stay on. : )

Sydney all tucked in for a nap.

Play Time

I love watching them play together. It's a privilege to be able to watch their friendship grow already. They love each other dearly. It's so sweet.

Superhero Capes

I made these superhero capes for Sydney and her friends. They love them! You can read more about it HERE.

Mini Doughnuts

We made doughnuts this Saturday. We used a mini pan and a standard pan to make the chocolate doughnuts. Tasty! Sydney helped with the decorations by dipping them in a glaze and then the sprinkles.

I had fun playing with my camera lens:

The One Year Old Walker

Aubrey's main form of motoring is now walking. Unless there is something she is not suppose to get then she resorts back to the fast crawl. She's a stinker.

Happy Friday.

Game Day!

The Cotton Bowl is tonight. Man, I do hope the Aggies pull out a win! We are all in our apparel today to cheer for the team. These pictures of us are from this afternoon as we have been playing around and having fun.

BTHO LSU!

Aubrey's 1st Birthday

A couple days after Christmas was Aubrey's 1st birthday. Happy Birthday to our new little walker!

Here is Aubrey's cake. I saw this elephant and knew that it was perfect for her cake. I bought the pattern from Cheswick Company on Etsy. You can buy the pattern or the kit. Since I basically own a craft store myself I just had to buy the pattern. And seriously, I had everything I needed already even down to the little jingle bells - ridiculous, I know! : )

I made cupcakes with the left over cake batter. Much more appropriate cake portion for a 1 year old. I used the chocolate chip cupcake with dark chocolate frosting recipe from Martha Stewart's Cupcake Cookbook. The chocolate frosting makes for some good messy pictures too.

The 2 finger shove into the mouth. She learned it from her dad. : )

Sydney patiently waiting for her turn to eat a special treat.

My new favorite picture!

A great picture of Grandpa and the girls.

Happy Birthday Aubrey!
