Sydney is 14!

 My Sydney is 14!  This is getting a little out of hand... time is just flying. ;)

I'm super proud of Sydney.  She has grown into a very kind, smart, non-dramatic, sees the bigger picture kind of girl.  I am so grateful for her and am proud that she's my daughter!

Here are some of the celebrations we had for her!

Celebrating with Grandmom!

Labor Day Weekend

 I took the kiddos up to the mountain house for Labor Day weekend.  It was mostly a rain out (I heard we got something like 10" in 24 hours!) but I'll tell you- sleeping by porch windows and under a tin roof makes for an amazing natural sound machine! :)

Here is some of the fun we had!

Picnic/Square dance:

Hanging out Saturday night:

Chapel: me and Billy!:

I've never seen the lake this high!

Break in the rain... heading down to the slip n' slide:

Monday AM breakfast... and Parker massages!

August!

 Here's more that we did in August!

Walking into church:

There were some beautiful skies this month!

Everley and Ryder came over:

Lunch + Shopping w/ Grandmom!

Had to document... I'm terrible with hair!

Basketball Team Party

 Taylor had her basketball team party in August.  The funny thing about her basketball team is... there is no end to it! ;) So squeezing in a team party in our 2-week break only seemed fitting.  The girls swam, we all hung out, ate, gave gifts, got awards, and it was a blast!

Taylor got the "PayDay" candy award because they call her T$ for her "money shots"

Six Flags

 We ventured to Six Flags in August.  The girls each brought a friend with them.  It was a fun day!
