Big Birthday Weekend

This weekend was Cherilyn's birthday.  She turned the Big Three Oh!  We had quite a good time.  On Saturday we went to the Habeck's house and had a get together with all the Science babies.  This fall I did a longterm sub for Liz Schiedel and now I'm doing a longterm for Missy.  So we got all three of our babies together for a nice lunch.  Ashley Riesgraf another science teacher came as well and we finally got to meet her "hot side dish".  We had fun together and then Sydney got to go on her first trip to Ikea.  She was so excited that she slept through the entire visit.

McKeon's strategy to eat food is to pull his mom's hand into his mouth

As you can see he is very good at chewing on all available resources

Oliver was very sleepy

Sunday was the big B-day.  We started the day out with a bath and it was the first time that I hadn't seen Sydney cry while we were drying her off.  This produced a new cute bath hair picture.

Cherilyn loved her curly hair

Then we went out to bruch at the Woodbury Cafe. Unfortunately we encountered the least friendly hostess I've ever met.  She took our name and said nothing, so we asked how long it would be.  She stared at the list and then glared at us as she said "Well there's seven in front of you."  Yup, that was helpful.  It was a good meal but the waitress then forgot to bring syrup 3 times and didn't bring me pancakes.  During lunch however Cherilyn decided we should go to Carters and get Sydney some outfits.  I know what your thinking.  "Dave there is no way this was Cherilyn's idea.  You are just trying to take the blame away from yourself"  But it's true.  Cherilyn wanted to use some coupons that we had from my last addiction excursion.  This time we found the Clearance rack!  Oh Joy of Joys the Clearance Rack!  Here is the Birthday mohma with her baby showing off the clothes.

These are her formal dresses for all the Balls and dinners that Sydney will be invited to attend.

OVERALLS!

The Flower dress is my personal favorite

You can't go wrong butterflies

Tonight we went to chruch and to our first new member class.  Sydney did well during the service and got to meet a bunch of new people.  5 people at the class had new babies or were currently expecting.  We also learned that there are over 400 kids in sunday school every week.  That is amazing.  We are looking forward to joining and to Sydney's baptism next weekend.  When we got home in addition to taking pictures with the clothes we took some cute pics of the Birthday mohma with baby and pops. 

Happy Birthday Cherilyn!
