Princess Crown

Sydney normally doesn't like for me to take a long time when I do her hair. Before church the other day I convinced her to let me do a "special hair-do." We called this the princess crown. She loved it when it was all done and we decided to take a picture.

Such a pretty girl!

All ready for church!

The Duck Pond

We had a really warm day and decided to head outdoors so we could all burn off a little energy. We decided to try going to the duck pond at Virginia Tech. We hardly every venture into Blacksburg (except for church) since we moved here and this is the first time we went. Sad that we are only discovering this place a few months before we move away. Better late than never, I guess.

We ended up getting some really cute pictures I think. I also have to mention how much I love Sydney's outfit. She insisted on that dress and those boots. Too funny!

Easter 2010

In preparation for Easter we decided to dye some eggs. The children always have fun dying the eggs. This year they did pretty good and didn't even make a big mess. Just a little one. They both really enjoyed the face stickers that came with our egg dying kit this year. The next morning most of the stickers were peeling off, but it was fun while it lasted.

Atlanta Aquarium

We went to the Atlanta Aquarium while we were visiting in Atlanta and I thought it was a pretty great aquarium. It was quite large and worth the money. Sadly just as we were leaving I started to feel pretty crummy and by the time we got back to the hotel I had thrown up! Sad, I know. Fortunately it only lasted a few hours and no one else got sick. By that evening I was back to normal and even able to eat dinner.

Here we are looking at fish!

Sydney was too scared to hug him, but not Logan!

Classic!!!

Poor Guy, always in the stroller.

Spring Break 2010

We took a little trip to Atlanta, Georgia for Spring Break this year. It's only a few hours away and we got a great deal on a hotel, so we decided to go. We had a great time. It was a little tight with all five us in one room, but we managed. We went to the zoo and to the aquarium. We visited the indoor pool and even got to catch up with some old friends from Utah. We also discovered a new favorite place to eat - Steak N Shake. We LOVE it! Good food, prefect portion sizes, and kids eat free on the weekend!

Here we are at the zoo and a few of the kids in the hotel. They love jumping on the bed but hey, so did I when I was a kid!
