Sydney Lyn turns 1!!

Well, it's official...today my beautiful little niece is one year old! This past weekend (labor day weekend) Preston, Ethan and I ventured up the mountian to the good ol' central valley. After 7 1/2 hours and 365 miles of screaming boys, I was actually excited to be greeted by the triple digit weather of Fresno. Luckly our hotel, car, and every store/house we went to had fully active A/C, so we didnt suffer long. My sister, brother-in-law and his parents, Tim and Jackie, were wonderful hosts to Little Miss Sydney lyn's birthday extravaganza!


Little Miss had her own Birthday Girl throne...


The flowers were so bright and cheery, even the water was purple!...


There was no forgeting whos special day it was, her FACE was even on the m&m's...



My sister is such a creative woman! Look at this B-E-A-UTIFUL cake she created!!...


Isn't she the cutest little thing you ever have seen?...


This is the only picture i could snap of them together AND clean! I love to match their clothes but Price doesn't share this same love so i have to do it whenever hes not around. Cute, is it not?!...


These two are 5 weeks apart and I think Ethan's head is twice the size of Sydney's...

She is such a love, all she wanted to do was kiss all over Ethan but he was NOT having it!...


These boys have been BFF's since they were about 1 year old and havent seen each other in about 6 months. I just caught them scarfing down a few bowls of m&m's! They dont look guilty at all, do they :)...




Sydney sure enjoyed Grandpa Tim's BBQ and her mommy's cake...


Being the great host's that they were, Tim and Jackie also had fun activities for the kids to enjoy outside!...

There was a Slip N Slide (Prestons new favorite thing)...


A pool...


And Matt even let the kids go fishing! The Brown's live on Woodward lake where according to Jeff and Matt, a 12 foot alligator lives (just a little scare tactic to keep the boys from jumping in, and it worked :) )


Presents, presents, presents galore...this little lady has a whole new wardrobe!...


After a long day of party hardy, this little one crashed! Happy Birthday Sydney Lyn!!!


Much thanks to the newly engaged couple (my sister Karlene and her fiance Richard aka Lizard) for sharing a hotel room with 2 late night/early morning boys!

With four fun filled days under our belts, the Wallings hit the road for another 365 mile journey home, thankfully this time with a lot less screaming!

Lots of Love and Bunches of Hugs!!
XOXO
