Sydney turns 8!

We celebrated Sydney's 8th birthday last week. I can hardly believe she is that old already. These are pictures from the family get-together at Nana and Papa's the Sunday before.


Sydney wanted to do a flower cake for her birthday this year. She helped (a little) with the decorating and chose the pretty blue colors.
Mother and daughter. Sydney is so proud (at least for now)
to be "Natalie, Jr." as she is often called.


Logan and Tayler helping Sydney blow out her candles.

The whole family celebrating and hanging out together.
Sydney wanted to invite some friends to the pool for her birthday. These are the boys: Collin, Logan, Dresden and Gabe.

The lovely group of girls: Autumn, Syd, Lauren, Chloe and Savannah. Sydney was so happy we were able to track down her old friend, Lauren, who moved last year. Other than roller skates, that was all she really wanted for her birthday.

The flower cupcakes we made. Nothing special to look at but they were delicious anyway.




Sydney is pretty excited!
Syd was thrilled with this gift (you just can't tell). She and Savannah have been great friends since we moved here 3 1/2 years ago.
What is this face all about?




These two must be related.



One of the last pictures of Shan pregnant. She looks happy but was pretty miserable. Only a few hours until the arrival of little Strider.



At the pool:
Our crew of lifeguards, ready to jump in at a moment's notice (yeah, right)!


The crazy bunch all together.
