She's So Cute!

The boys love for Sydney has grown exponentially in the last few days. They can't wait to say "Good Morning" and "Good Night" everyday and are especially excited when she is awake and looking at them. Ryan actually complained that Sydney was looking at Casey more than him. :)

Ryan and Casey are constantly telling me how cute she is. Casey actually said the other day; "Mom, Sydney is so cute. She's even cuter than me!" Priceless. What impressed me the most about his comment is that he got the pronoun right. I'm constantly correcting him with "she" and "her."

Casey finally decided that he wanted to hold her, and now there's no stopping him. He asks all the time, especially when she's napping and when I'm feeding her. We're working on his timing.

I'm working on getting normal smiles out of the boys at the same time, but no such luck yet.

I've been very blessed to have 3 good babies, but Sydney is definitely the BEST. She's an awesome sleeper, and typically only wakes up once at night to eat. What better gift for the mom of a newborn than 5 hours of continuous sleep! Thank you Sydney!

Sydney Part II

Here are some pictures that Melissa took this morning. She has been very sleepy, but finally open her eyes for some pictures.

Casey still doesn't want to hold Sydney, but will sit next to her.

This is what she thinks of the Angels. Sorry JD she doesn't like baseball. :)

Sydney Kristin Ward

Welcome Sydney Kristin Ward!

8 lb, 18 1/2 in.

I just wanted to get a picture of Sydney on the blog. More to follow...

Here is a collage of the boys with Sydney. Guess which one is Sydney.
For those that need help, Sydney is in the top and bottom with Ryan on the left and Casey on the right.

Here is another collage with a different picture of Ryan. I couldn't decide which one to use.



I think she looks a bit like Ryan, but also see some Casey as well.

Rose Parade

Here's a flashback post - the annual Rose Parade. It's a big deal out here and the boys really like the parade, too.

The only problem is that you have to park your car a mile away and trek it to the parade route. At least we've got the wagon for the boys.

One great thing about the Rose Parade is the seemingly unlimited supply of donuts. Here are the boys eating their donuts. In the morning it was a bit chilly, but it got pretty warm by the time the parade started.

Here is donut #2 for Casey. I can't remember if he ate 3 or 4 donuts.

Of course, I've got to get my fill of donuts. It's all about the food, don't you know.

Casey is all ready to go and waiting for the floats to show up.

Yes, the parade is very serious stuff.

I had to get at least one picture of the parade. A cool float with an airplane. Till next year!!!

Snow Day!

Who says I need to be in Utah to have snow. We got a "bunch" of snow overnight during the big rainstorms last month. Beaumont schools were closed for the day. I only wish Utah would have closed schools for 2 inches of snow. It really was more slushy than anything. By midday most of the snow was melted. This is how I like my snow - gone by the end of the day!

These are shots of our front and back yard. I'm trying the new Picasa collage with these pictures.
