Sydni "Boo" turns 3

I know, I know we all say it but I really can't believe its been 3 years already. When we told the boys that we were having another baby and it was going to be born around Halloween, we joked that we could name him/her "Boo". I never thought that she would really come on Halloween :) I can't imagine our family without our Princess. She has her brothers wrapped around her finger (don't tell her dad, but he is too...)! She speaks as though she is 16, and loves to "shake her body" as she likes to say. She waits ever so patiently every Saturday for her turn to play her soccer game, but is the best cheerleader in the meantime. She loves to dress-up in anything frilly or lacey, and loves her babies. She adores her Papa and going to his house or cabin to visit. I love having a girl-friend to hang out with when the boys go to school, even if most the time she'd rather be hanging out with Addison (the neighbor girl, and best friend). I don't like that she's growing up so fast, but can't wait be a part of her life as she does.

Love you Syd!!

Oh yeah her name is not really Sydni Boo it is Sydni Lee

Halloween

We decided to make a quick run to Cedar for Halloween. We couldn't talk the kids out of the Trunk-or-treat so we left late on Friday night and headed south. We woke up at Grandma Rosie's, had presents for the princess, headed to the tailgate party for the SUU game, the game, then time for costumes and trick-or-treating, and on to Grandma Laurie's for dinner and birthday party for Sydni. What a whirl wind, but a great one!! I was able to see and hold my new niece Halle Kate, she's absolutely beautiful. And what a joy to see my brother be a dad, he is whooped already. We love our families!!

Costume explaination: Kobe - egyptian (he had an assignment in class to dress up so we'd already made the costume and he decided just to wear it again, he loves his mom!!) Carsen - Mad scientist, Tyson - football player, Logan - Superman, Sydni - Bee (Queen bee without the stinger if you asked Logan...)

Pumpkins and the Swine Flu

Its official... Swine flu at the Potter's! Kobe and Sydni had positive tests yesterday. They are not feeling awful, but not great either. We decided it was a good day for pumpkin carving. Kobe's is the SUU one, Carsen's Frankenstein (use you imagination :) Tyson's a warewolf, Logan's some scary flame thing, and Syd's of course the crown. Ron helped design the templates and then the older 3 were on their own (thus the need for imagination...) Ron did Sydni's and I did Logan's. We had "pupmkin guts" all over the kitchen what fun!

Go T-birds!!!

A couple of weeks ago Sami and my parents came up to visit. Our saturday was full of soccer and football, including a trip to Logan where the T-birds faced the Aggies (we will not repeat the score :( they werent supposed to win right? )
Sydni, Sami and Thor (the T-bird mascot) Sydni thought he was much more fun from a distance...

TOUCHDOWN!! The boys and their foam fingers

I love this pic, Ron coaching on the way from the swim to the bike I finally convinced him to do the next one with him, on Sept 7th. Carsen too, they've all been training together. There's Grandma Rosie on the left.

Is she "checking him out"??

He love's beeing tatooed.
