Sydney's 6th birthday party

I got so busy at the end of the school year I never got pics posted from Syd's birthday party! She wanted to be able to invite boys this year from her class so we had to do something that boys would like! No more dress up parties! We rented the LA Tech Bowling Alley. If you haven't been it's super nice. It's all computerized and keeps your score - I've never been good at that! It also has the cool lights. The kids had a blast and we had a good turn out! The best part about having it there is that they did everything for me - even the cake! This was the first year the KaCee didn't make Sydney's cake and I was a bit worried but it turned out really cute!

After the party we took the kids to eat at Superior in Shreveport! Syd loves to hear them sing Happy Birthday which sounds more like Hoppy Birsday! HA! It won't let me add any pics now - I'll try again later.

Sydney's dance recital

Last week was dance recital week! It is definitely a very busy week - lots of driving back and forth to Monroe - but in the end it's worth it!

The theme this year was Snow White. Sydney was an angel for that part of the production. The production is over at intermission and the rest of the tap and jazz is performed to upbeat and fun music. She was a model (?) dressed in hot pink for tap - it was my favorite!

She did great during the recital - didnt miss a beat. She loves the recital! This year was our first year to dance after intermission and it makes for a long evening. Her second dance wasn't until 10:30 and that's late for any 5 or 6 year old! Her class did a great job but there were lots of unhappy parents!

I had a hard time picking just a couple of pics so I posted LOTS!!!!

Jalyn's Birthday party

Jalyn had a "Pinkalicious" birthday party. I didn't get any pictures from the actual birthday party but the kids looked too cute all dressed in pink to miss out on this photo opportunity! It was a precious party theme if anybody needs an idea!

Syd's last day of Kindergarten

My how much she has grown since those sweet pics from the first day of Kindergarten. I'll have to find one to post for comparison. Sydney has had a terrific school experience this year. Her teacher was so sweet and soft spoken and very nurturing - just what Syd needed for her Kindergarten year. It has truly been a year to remember - so many memories created! Looking forward to next year!

Sydney's end of year party

The kindergarten classes had a water party for their end of year party! They had water balloons, water guns, and a huge water slide. It made for a great time! I can't believe this school year is already come to an end and that my baby girl's kindergarten year is over. It was just yesterday that I was feeding her a bottle and changing her diapers! My how time flies!

Sydneys Zoo Field Trip

The last week of school Sydney's class took a field trip to the LA Purchase Gardens and Zoo. I took some cute pictures of the group that I chaperoned! I said some of these will be great for the yearbook one day! We toured the zoo, fed the giraffes, and were able to visit one of the Education Buildings where the zookeeper showed us animals up close and told us more about the animals.

American Girl Doll

Nanna sent Sydney an American Girl Just Like You doll for her b-day. We just now have stopped long enough to take pictures of it and of them in their matching outfits! She LOVES this doll - takes it everywhere with her and ofcourse sleeps with it!

I'll take some more pics bc after Syd being outside all weekend this weekend she and the doll are about the same color!
