Sydnee is in 1st grade

Where does the time go? I can't believe my Sydnee is already in first grade! She was so excited to start school & at first I was excited for her to go all day, but yesterday was her first day & it is a very long time! I missed her! Sydnee is such a smart & beautiful girl! She has a great memory & is reading really well. One of the things I love most about Sydnee is that she is so responsible! Sometimes I think that she is more than me. Not only that but she already has a testimony and it is so easy for her to follow the things that we should. Every night she reads a verse from the Book of Mormon, and I have to admit that she is more consistent than me. She bore her testimony at church the last testimony meeting & I was so proud of her. She has such a special & mature spirit about her, which she has always had!

Sydnee is such a great helper! I know I have posted about that before but she has helped me many times to keep my sanity. She also is a social butterfly! No matter where we are she always finds herself a new little friend. And whenever she leaves to ride her bike around the block, I have to go find her because she ends up stopping to talk to someone along the way.

Sydnee is a very special girl to me & I love her so much! I am so lucky to have my four completely different but equally wonderful girls!

I don't know if you remember me. I was friends with your sister McKell in high school. I was just commenting on her pictures and how many kids there are in your family now. I remember when Sydnee was just a tiny chubby baby. She was a pig for Halloween (if i remember right.) I just can't believe how big she is and how pretty she is. You have 4 beautiful girls.

Sidney is so dang cute. She is a little social butterfly. I thought it was so cute that before getting off the bus on the first day of school, she had to chit chat with the bus driver first. She'll always have an easy time making friends. She reminds me alot of you.
