Sydney is 9 years old!

Little Syd Syd.....
She turned 9 on Thursday! She has been so excited for this birthday! She had a friend party planned...which I'll update about later (I'm still behind a Lake Powell post!).
Here's 9 things about Sydney:
1. She is growing up fast, but still hanging on to the little girl. When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said things like make-up, iTouch, or a doll.
2. She's a smarty pants. She just got asked to attend SEM which is the challenge class for smart kids. She figured out on her own the 'theory' behind multiplication and is teaching herself the times tables.
3. She has a great sense of humor. She will answer the telemarketer phone calls and talk to them until they hang up on her. She asks things like if they like bananas, do they have any kids, etc. She cracks us up!
4. She loves potato bugs.
5. She's a cute little ballerina. She was struggling going to class this past week, but we think it's just because life has been overwhelming and the anticipation of this birthday is too much to handle!
6. She's a cute little tumbler. Doing great at cartwheels, back walk-overs, splits...still working on that back handspring....
7. She loves her family! She always tries to make us smile and is good for a hug whenever we need it.
8. She loves the boat. She loves to spend time with us and also loves tubing. She is a little apprehensive about trying to ski or wakeboard. However, she does snow ski!
9. She is full of enthusiasm and joy for life!
She is an amazing daughter and we are so lucky to have her!
We love you, Sydney! We are so blessed to have you as our daughter! You are very sweet and sensitive and kind and full of spunk! You are an important part of our family!
We love you!
