  A preview of tomorrow's festivities.

July 2, 2012

Apparently we're so boring that after our visitors left this morning nothing else happened that was photo-worthy. 

   These pictures are from July 2, 2011.  If I remember correctly, they were playing "Underwear Wipeout."  Some things don't change that much in a year.

  I didn't see much of these boys this weekend.  They kept themselves busy playing with every single toy in the house.  I especially liked watching the two of them swinging back to back, chatting casually.  

  Do you know what else is awesome about having guests?  They insist upon doing the dishes.

Jill picked up this yummy cake in Syd's honor.  Apparently the cake decorator was a little confused by the name "Syddo."

This weekend was Sydney's baptism.  We were lucky enough to have my parents and my sister Jill's family here with us.  It was awesome to have a house full of some of my favorite people. 

When we bought this table, we imagined filling up all the spots around it with visiting family.  This happened many times this weekend and it was like a dream come true.

 (I promise I'm not pregnant.)

(Upon futher reflection, I realize that what was posted here before wasn't very kind.  Here's a condensed version of the story.)
 

   This is the picture I sent to Jeff at work of our gas meter after the angry plumber plowed into it while trying to run over my bushes.  Karma is real.

   Tonight Jeff was working and Sydney was at a sleepover.  The rest of us had ice cream treats from Sonic and watched "Mirror, Mirror."  Both were pretty good.  I made the poor kids sit on a sheet with their treat, but was glad I did because it was covered with ice cream by the time they were done.

   This picture is way better than the one I was going to post.
