FEBRUARY 25th......SYDNEYS PARTY

PIZZA/POOL PARTY

The first half of Sydney's Birthday party was at her home where they had pizza,cupcakes, ice cream and presents. The second half was the pool party, indoors of course as it was snowing outside in good ole' Utah.

Natalie stayed with the girls while Jay joined the boys

Shannon, John and I just enjoyed watching the kids play in the pool. Shannon looks so great for only having one more night before the big arrival of our little guy.

The favorite thing for the kids was going down the slide, Jay is one of the those kids

(see him in the background) SYDNEY'S POOL PARTY WAS A BIG SPLASH!
