SYDNEY ENJOYING THE DAY

Sydney is such a sweet little girl who loves to smile and share nice hugs. She can become somewhat shy if she is put into a situation that she is not familiar with. Last Thursday we took Sydney to her speech class and instead of going to her home we brought her to our house since her Mommy and Tayler would be coming as soon as school was over. Sydney usually does not like having her picture taken, but for some reason she was into it that day. The first four pictures are of her standing by our front door. She was trying to pose differently in every picture. Boy, does she remind me of her big sister Tayler. There's nothing Tayler likes more than having her picture taken.

And this picture along with the following three are of her and Pappy fooling around.

Something they both love to do.

Yea, I know I'm cute! Just ask my Nana!

HALLOWEEN 2010

Halloween rolls around with the same excitement as birthdays and Christmas. Last evening our little town celebrated Trick or Treat with a parade and of course running to every house that had their lights on to get a treat. I believe our little ones were some of cutest children in their costumes. Tayler was dressed as a pink cheetah, Sydney was a purple fairly, Dylann was a little chicken and Marshall was dressed as a Penn State football player. What else could he be with the Daddy and Pappy he has. Once again I have my pictures in a backward order, but you will still be able to see the fun that they had.

Back in the house warming up.

Marshall was showing everyone how well he is able to walking,

but in this picture he was really cutting up.

Sydney just loves her little cousin

When we were about done with trick or treating Tayler decided that she was cold and she took of towards our house. She did stop once after she crossed the side alley to tell me there was a car coming. Isn't she so sweet to look after me? I told her I was fine so she continued on. She was in the door and under a blanket beside her Pappy before I got in the door. And I can guarantee you that her Pappy loves that.

The four of them all set to go out, but we needed pictures first.

Marshall was wondering what Dylann was up to in this picture.

She was checking out some of the candy that Nana had given her.

Poor Marshall couldn't have any candy except the raisins that I bought just for him.

Daddy/Uncle Matt trying to get them all to look at me.

That's very hard to accomplish. There is always one with there eyes shut, looking the other way or just trying to get away.

Do you see what I mean about getting them all together for a picture?

Actually this is probably the best of the four of them.

SYDNEY'S HALLOWEEN PARADE

Today Sydney's school had their Halloween Parade. Nana and Pappy went to see her parade with her class. She was dressed as the purple fairy and she was adorable. In fact a mom came up to me as we were getting ready to leave and told me that her son really liked Sydney. She went on to say that he thought she was really pretty and nice. Of course I said thank you and moved on. She is only 4 so were are not starting that. Only kidding.

Coming down the ramp. As soon as she came out I could tell she was looking at us. When she spotted us she gave us a big smile.

On their way to begin their parade.
You will notice she has her little fingers in her mouth.
A trait she has when nervous

The first photo line up.
I noticed her little dressed was tucked up so I had the teacher fix it.
As I said she's only 4 and didn't think to take care of it.


Her dress is fixed. Isn't she adorable?

Here they come again.

And again.

Our little sweetie.

A GOOD LOOKING FAMILY

Matt and Ryann along with the children had family pictures taken last week. Here is a preview of a few of those pictures. Getting these pictures taken was really interesting. If you are friends with Ryann on facebook check out what she had to say about there attempt at getting these pictures. These few pictures are great and I can't wait to see all of them.

A very nice looking family

Marshall, what a cutie

Dylann Jean

She is a sweet heart.

SYDNEY IS IN THE NEWSPAPER

Sydney goes to pre school 2 days a week. This was taken on her very first day of school. When I was reading the paper I saw this picture and I though, boy she looks like Sydney from the back. When I looked down and saw her name in the title I was shocked. You will probably have to increase the size if you want to see it better. We are so pleased to see her in the news paper. Sydney and her friends leaving pre school.

ONLY A FEW

We went to Matt and Ryann's on Saturday to watch the Penn State game. It was a great day with

Penn State winning. We also enjoyed the delicious food that Matt always makes. We were able to spend some time with the children, but it was nap time so that time was short. They are both sick little ones at this time and I hope they fell better soon. I was only able to get 3 pictures, but here they are. Dressed in their Penn State clothing that the family wears every week.

Born to be Penn State fans..
Some how we missed Daddy in this pictures
You can tell they were still in there PJ's.

3 generations.

All we need is Old Pappy.

DYLANN'S GET READY FOR THURSDAY

Dylann's family will be getting their family pictures taken this Thursday. Hopefully the day will be nice and they will get some great pictures outside. Dylann was working on her pose the other day and here are a few of those pics. She's learning to pose for pictures just her older cousin, Tayler does.

I can't wait to see the results of her family's photo session.

TOBIAS LAKE

Recently Matt and Ryann spent the day with Dylann and Marshall at Lake Tobias. Lake Tobias is a private animal preserve in which the guest ride through in an old open topped school bus. The children loved seeing the animals and every single time the bus would stop Marshall would do his happy, but very loud laugh. They were able to pet and feed the animals when they were walking about. I know that they all had a great time and Dylann is still talking about it. Enjoy a visit to Lake Tobias with Dylann and Marshall.

Mommy and her babies.

I think this might be a baby goat, but it's hard to tell.

Looks like a tiny pony to me.

Is that really a skunk?

So soft

Marshall likes the animals too

Is it black and white or white and black?

The goats are all around Marshall.
