Sydnie and I had a great experience a couple of weeks ago. We went to a temple open house for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Sydnie really wanted to go, so I took a day off work and went down with her G & G. We felt an awesome peace inside, so much so that Sydnie did not want to leave. We stopped at Target on our way home because Sydnie was in major need of a new dress and jeans. Then we went to dinner at a place called Good Wood - the best ribs I've had in a long time. We had a great day - definately worth my day off!

Okay, so Sydnie finished ALL the Harry Potter books and loved them! She keeps saying she wishes there was an 8th book. Wow! She is at about 260 points at school and is the only one in the 3rd grade to be that high! Great job Sydnie! (Now if I can just get her that excited about doing chores~). Sydnie's Aunt Kimmie and family sent her the cutest hair clips ever - hear are the first ones she wore - aren't they the cutest?
