Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to our guy.  The man in charge.  The #2 boss in our house (per Syd, I'm #1).

The father of 2 daughters, you would think he's missing out on all the boy stuff...but I feel like he still gets a good mix of it.  Millie LOVES to play fight and wrestle with him, and now Syd is getting in on the action.  She has terrible aim though.  Poor JKK.  They love when he snuggles in bed with them and he's the only one that is allowed to wash their hair.  They know he can fix almost anything, so any broken toys are put aside for daddy to fix with his tools.  They also know he's the cookie monster and can count on him to be on their side when it comes to asking for treats.  He's patient and uses funny voices when reading to them.  He puts up with so much princess stuff and strappy shoes and accessories.  He takes them to different playgrounds and the donut shop.  He even clips their long hair up when they are brushing their teeth.  He's basically the best.  He takes care of us.  He's their favorite guy...and mine too.  We love you and appreciate you, daddy JKK!  And we all know you're really the #1 boss.

Flashback to the first Father's Day with both girls: 3 years ago, one of my faves <3

4 years ago: These Facebook memories make me smile :)

Celebrating Millie

Last night we went out to eat to celebrate Millie!  Yesterday in gymnastics, she was moved up from beginner 1 class to beginner 2 class.  This is a big deal!  She's been working hard on her cartwheels!! We are all proud of her hard work, and she felt very special getting her own celebratory dinner!  Way to go, Mills!!

Pre-K Graduate, Millie!

Wayyyyy back in the early 80's, I was once a Preschool graduate.  My mom was Sunshine School's director, and I was in her school's first graduating class!  (See pic below - far left.)  So you can imagine our horror when Millie's school didn't do the whole cap and gown thing! ;)  

My mom wasn't having it, so she ordered a cap and gown, and then this morning I did a little photo shoot on the Bentonville square.  This pic cracks me up the most.  Serious.  Focused.  Future class president?  Future team leader?  Future class clown?  

This is more like it...

She kind of enjoyed herself.

Freckles on her nose

As I've said from day one, we're so glad she's ours!

Thanks Nana, this was a great idea!

My name is SYDNEY.

Syd has started asking us to call her Sydney.  Several times this week when I've called her Piddy or even Syd, she's corrected me.  She says it in such disgusted voice "My name is SYDNEY!".  I'm heartbroken.

Sydney's First Dentist Appt

Syd's first dentist appointment was yesterday.  See how happy she was about it??

We let Millie go first so she could see that it wasn't going to hurt.  Syd wasn't convinced.  She fought it.  I think she was secretly proud of herself afterwards though.  No cavities for either kiddo!
