Fourth of July 2010

This post is way behind but I wanted to put up some of our pictures from our fourth of July. I had to work on the Fourth of July this year since it landed on Sunday this year. So we celebrated on Saturday the third. We had a fun day filled with a cookout, swimming, eating watermelon and of course fireworks!

Just when we were going to go outside to eat our watermelon it started to rain. So we weren't going to let that stop us. We set up a towel in the garage and dug in to the watermelon.
Sydney has never played in the rain before. That was something I loved to do when I was little so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to show her how much fun it can be.Thank goodness the rain didn't last and we were able to go get fireworks and put on a show for Sydney. It was a bummer that I had to be away from Sydney on the actually fourth of July but we made do with what we were given. It was a fun weekend and I hope Sydney had loads of FUN!

Our Saturday Fun

Sydney and I have been going to the summer reading program at the Bryant library. This years theme was Under the Sea. Each week Mrs. Debbie leads the kids in songs and reads a few books and then we get to make a craft. Sydney looks forward to Tuesdays when we go to the library. Today was the end of Summer reading luau party. The party was at the Benton Library since they have a nice big lawn. They had some inflatables, face painting, and dunking booth. We stayed for about 45 minutes and Sydney was soaking wet from sweat so we left.Sydney jumping and falling down!

You can see her ball right at the pins. She actually knocked some of them over! Sydney had just threw her ball. You can see the ball right in front of her! lol
After we left the library party we went to the bowling alley. Sydney has been to the bowling alley before but she just a baby. So today was her first time to actually bowl! I thought she would love but Stephen was betting on that she was still a little too young to bowl.
Stephen explaining to Sydney how to bowl. In true Sydney fashion she wanted to do it her way! She carried her own ball and she threw it the way she wanted to.Well the verdict was we were both right. She liked it but the game lasted too long. So the last two frames Stephen had to bowl for her. Our final Scores, Sarah 119, Sydney 61, Stephen 94. I won!

Gymnastic Star

On June 8, 2010 Sydney started taking Mommy and me gymnastics classes at Leah's Gymnastics. This was the first time she has been involved with a structured class. It was an adjustment to wait our turn and follow the instruction of the teachers but she looks forward to Tuesdays all week.These pictures are from our first day in gymnastics. I did gymnastics when I was in elementary school and so I thought this would be a fun thing that we could do together.Sydney with Ms. Olivia

This is her little gym class. Taylor, Audry, Lucy, Sydney B, and Sydney.

We have been going to gymnastics for a month now and this past Tuesday she was able to pull her legs up to the bar and hold on all by herself! I was so surprised!! I'm so proud of you Sydney!!!
