Family Time

2 weeks ago it was VBS. Technically Sydney was 6 months too young for the 3 year old class, but they were nice enough to make an exception for her since I was co-MC and help with decorations. The week really took a toll on all 4 of us, but she had so much fun that it was well worth it. One of the little treats she brought home from class was this crown w/ her name on it. She hasn't taken it off since! Seriously, she wears it every minute!

My cousin Lauren married Larry last Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding, but weddings can be tricky with two kids! You just never know when one of them won't be able to keep quiet & have an outburst, so we sat in the back near an exit door just in case.

Here Katelyn (Syd's 2nd cousin I believe??) helps her pull rose petals off for decoration.
Addie Sue helped decorate too.
Sydney pushing her buddy around. They are still as close as ever. I think she's going to be one of those kids who takes her blankie with her to college!

After Lauren's wedding we went to a KC Explorers Tennis event. It was a first for the 4 of us. Reece (my little step-bro for those who don't know) is big time into tennis. He got to meet the Bryan Brothers & owner Mel...I think this was the highlight of his trip to KC!
Brody got a little bath time. He sure loves to be naked & sudsy!

He just talked & talked to me afterwards. My dad was quick with the camera & grabbed a few shots of him cooing & a-gooing a way. Too bad the video camera wasn't handier.
(You'll have to excuse me, I'd just gotten out of the shower myself. Nothing more humbling than seeing yourself w/ all your baby-weight, no makeup & wet hair!)
