Sydney's First Steps

Sydney the Doll

When Grandmas and Grandpas came up for Andrew's graduation they brought presents. Most of the presents were not for Andrew of course, they were for Sydney. One of Sydney's presents is the dress she is wearing in these pictures taken before we left for church.

Pomp and Circumstance

Andrew Graduates!


At Commencement in the Hart Auditorium Andrew marched in.





We then heard from President Kim B. Clark who counciled the graduates to Stand Fast, Stand Up and Stand Together as the graduates go out into the world.

Elder M. Russell Ballard spoke on using the internet to share the truth that the gospel of Jesus Christ is restored on the earth. Read a similar message of Elder Ballards when he spoke at BYU-Hawaii's graduation.





Following Commencement, Convocation was held in the Hinckley Building. Watch Andrew march in and walk across the stage to receive a diploma cover.









All that is left is to hold our breath to see if he really passed all of his classes.

Little Sydney

As you can tell from the videos, Sydney is the joy of our lives.
In the beginning she came out screaming.



We enjoyed her at the hospital.










At one month we decided we'd been blessed with a very expressive little girl that was also very strong!

As she grew older she loved to sleep and play.


Mommy made her blessing dress.




We love having grandparents come up and visit.




She got her first teeth at four months! (She now has seven and is working on her eighth.)


Sydney keeps growing. She loves solid food and finger painting with her food in her high chair. She was crawling at seven months and is now threatening to walk.
