Fall River Fun

Hi Family and Friends,

I hope that you're all enjoying the beautiful fall weather. We certainly had a wonderful weekend at the River. It was gorgeous weather and we got to spend a whole bunch of time outside. Even though it was still a little chilly outside, we had a bonfire. We cooked brats on the open fire and made smores.

Mommy had to travel again for work, so we asked to stay with Gramy and Papa for a few extra days. We went back to Duluth. We spent a morning at Nammy's apartment. She brought us around to see all of her lady friends. My biggest accomplishment for the long weekend was learning to use the potty all the time. It's not been a whole week of me using the potty and wearing my big girl underwear. I'm pretty proud of myself.

Here's a few pictures from our weekend.

Until next time,
Love Adelaide and Sydney (Tiff & Trav too)

Weekend fun

Hi Family and Friends,

We've been pretty busy lately. It seems like every weekend we've been either going some where or busy at home. The same weekend of my party at home, Uncle TJ & Aunt Tiffy came to visit us. We had so much fun. It was the first time that Uncle TJ and Aunt Tiffy got to see our new house.

Wyatt, Adelaide and I got to play together. We all had fun being in the play room together. Later that night after the party, Mommy and Daddy fired up the grill and invited our friends to come over for supper. I wasn't allowed to go though...I was sleeping in my bed. Wyatt wasn't allowed either, he was supposed to be sleeping as well.

Johnathan and Brandy came back for dinner. I know Mommy and Daddy had a good dinner. I got to have a few of the leftovers. Steak, potatoes, lettuce salad, pasta salad, and hotdogs. It was a yummy mix of food. Adelaide had to go to bed before the real fun of the evening. Daddy built a good bonfire in the new pit. I can't wait till I'm old enough to be up late for the bonfires.

We had a really fun weekend. Here's a few pictures.

Until next time,
Love Sydney and Adelaide (Trav and Tiff too)

Happy Birthday Sydney!

Hi Family and Friends,

I had the most wonderful birthday week! It was pretty exciting for me because I was spoiled by having 3 parties. Mommy and Daddy had a party at our new house with a lot of our family and friends. I got to have a party at my day care. Grandma and Grandpa hosted a party with more family and friends at their house.

The party at our house was fun. Mommy and Daddy had lots of their friends come over. My favorite person to hang out with was Johnathan. I got to snuggle with him before I opened presents. We had an ice cream bar and root beer floats. Not to mention the pretty cake! Gramy made her famous chocolate sauce again. Everyone loved it. There were lots of little kids that came over too. We had fun coloring little decorations and then running around the house! I got so many wonderful presents. The majority of my presents were clothes, books, and then things for my baby dolls!

The party at my day care was on my actual birthday. Mommy brought little cupcakes and fruit snacks to share with everyone. Anne bought me a fun barn animal puzzle. Adelaide and I have fun playing with it together. She's teaching me how to make all the animal sounds. Anne even made me a pretty crown to wear for my birthday!

The party at Grandma and Grandpa's house was fun too. We went to spend the whole weekend there. Saturday was the party. Adelaide was being such a big helper with Grandma. They were making the yummy salads. Mommy was helping supervise and keep Adelaide from mixing everything all over. I was taking a nap. It's hard work to keep growing and get bigger everyday. All of the neighbors came over and then lots of family. Granny Splitt brought her potato salad and deviled eggs. Grandma also made deviled eggs. Daddy was so happy. =) Grandma made really yummy sloppy joes for supper. Although, I was lucky enough to open my presents before supper. I got some more really cute outfits and lots of books. We love to read every day. I think my two favorite presents are my Bity Baby and the Disney Princess Castle!

All in all, it was a wonderful 2 weekends! Here's a few pictures from the weekends.

Until next time,
Love Sydney (Trav, Tiff & Adelaide too)

Happy Birthday Sydney!
