A picture update

I'm still totally slacking in the picture taking area.  I left my camera at my mom's house for over a week, then brought it on a trip to the cabin...but it was dead.  So, most of these are old, but here you go!

Sydney had her first school project due in May.  They learned all about dinosaurs then had to make a diorama.  She had so much collecting just the right rocks and "trees", painting, cutting, and gluing.  

I LOVE the school she's in.  We're living in an older part of Henderson, and it really has the "small town" feel.  The school is 52 years old, and every year the Kindergarteners do a square dancing performance.  They work on it for months, and Sydney got there just a couple of weeks before the performance.  They found her a spot and she fit right in with all the kids.  It was so fun to watch all those little kids dancing their hearts out.  
The best shots I could get were of her back, but she did peek over at me a few times.




Pretty crazy that today starts her last week of Kindergarten!   

Jackson has learned to love his "alone" time while Sydney's at school.  He does crafts and projects (as he calls them) constantly.  I'm not sure what gives him the ideas for the different things he makes, but they never end.  
I usually text a picture to McKay when he's finished.  Sometimes McKay emails them back to me, and this is one of them.
The banjo.


We had a little too much fun shopping at Old Navy this past weekend.




Oh, and that trip to the cabin, here we are ready to head out...the only picture of the whole weekend.
So sad.  We had a blast.

Sydney has a cousin who loves Justin Bieber....so now Sydney loves Justin Bieber.  She asked me the other day if I'd take her to a Justin Bieber concert.  
Uh, you're SIX Sydney!
I pulled up his song "Baby" on Youtube and told her that would have to be good enough.
Now the kids ask me to play it ALL the time
Whenever it's time to clean up the house, they want to listen to it.
Now Carter will walk up to my computer, point, and say "Baby?"
It's pretty cute.

June is going to be a busy month for us.  We have the end of school, 2 family reunions, the circus, and my doctors appointments are every 2 weeks now....along with the normal craziness of our lives.
I like being busy.  Life is good.
