Disneyland!

We went to Disneyland!!! It was such a great trip. One of those trips that you think about for weeks in advance and when it is over it was a great as you expected it to be. My mom and Ken so graciously treated Sydney and us with a trip to Disney for Sydney's Birthday. It was so generous of them. Thank you guys again for everything.

Sydney loved Disneyland. She was excited about everything. From the benches outside the park with Mickey Mouse on them to her face lighting up when she got to see Mickey and Minnie. She was a real trooper we went full blast and she didn't nap pretty much the whole trip. Which did lead to a melt down on the day back to Portland.

Here are some pictures. There is just too much to tell. One funny thing is that Sydney went on Pirates of the Caribean but wouldn't go on peter pan. go figure???

So much has happened in the last few weeks. Mainly our computer totally crashed and we haven't really had a consistant computer or a way to get photos on. So hopefully Iiwll be able to catch up on some things.


On November 4th Sydney turned 3!!! She is growing up so fast. She is a beautiful child inside and out and I love her so dearly. She is so smart and has such a great imagination. We had a small party at our haouse and Nate made her a cake decorated with Dora's face. Syd loved it.
It was a little funny and scary for a split second, but as we were singing happy birthday and sydneywas blowing outthe candles her hair caught on fire! It was truely for a second so we can laugh at it. I say that her hair hadn't been washed in about 4 days so that probably saved a huge flame.










I love my dear Sydney!

We had a pretty fun Halloween. It was raining when we woke up so in NW fashion Sydney decided to wear her rain boots with her tutu. We were a matching family Nate and I went as each other and Syd and Stella went as ballerinas.
The day ended, like most halloweens end for 3 year olds. A tutu in the air. a head buried in pillows, tears running down the face, and a voice yelling, 'I want more candy!!!!"
