Addison's 2nd Birthday Fiesta

Addison had quite a weekend and celebrated her 2nd birthday on Saturday with a bang. Her guest list included the usual suspects... lil' Noel and cousin Haylee. It actually made the party enjoyable by adult standards with such a small group of kids! Noel's mommy and daddy were SO gracious to let Addison have her party at their house so that all the tikes (and pups, Lexi was invited too!) could enjoy the pool. Which was perfect because it was hot as could be! Addison had been asking for weeks for her Dora the Explorer party until the morning of.... Daddy asked Addison if she was ready for her Dora party and she announced that she wanted a Diego party, not a Dora party! But in typical toddler fashion changed her mind again and was happy to have Dora celebrate with her. The kids swam and played and finally Addison and Noel (and their Daddy's) drifted off for a long afternoon nap while the Mommy's enjoyed some relaxing time in the pool. All in all, a great day for everyone!!

I hope to gradually add more pictures since there were a few activites that I wasn't able to snap shots with on my camera. Enjoy!

Addison LOVES to swim with Daddy.


Mommy's 7 layer dip is always a crowd pleaser!


"Happy Birthday to me!"

My Little Fishie

What can I say?

American Idol 2025?

Addison finally got to play with Haylee this weekend! She has been waking up from her naps saying, "I wanna play with Laylee". Those girls are just two peas in a pod! I have a video here that's a little bit long. My apologies for the beginning, Haylee has quite a set of pipes on her! The girls also took a trip to the playground so I've included a few pictures of them there. Enjoy!

Fishing Lesson

Happy Fourth! We had a pretty relaxed holiday weekend but still managed to have a little fun. After a "big kids only" night for Jordana's fabulous surprise 30th birthday, the family headed over to Isaacs for a BBQ and some swimming. Addison is a born swimmer and just loves the water. She could stay in the pool all day if we would let her! Unfortunately, I left my camera at the party so it might be a few days before I can get some more pictures up. Since I know I couldn't go another week without an entry, I found this picture that I had download and I thought was sweet. Bryan was out back fishing and of course Addison wanted to join him with her little pink Barbie fishing pole. When I went out to check on them I saw this fishing lesson taking place. I wish I could have gotten closer to take a better picture but I didn't want to interrupt. Enjoy!

Syberts in Florida: Part II

It's been a very active two weeks but the fun is finally coming to an end. We are all a bit sleepy but we're going to miss the excitement! Addison went from pushing Mattox on his bottom every chance she got to alternating pushes and hugs. That's progress, right? Little does Addison know that he will be alot bigger than her in no time and just might remember this trip! Michaela was a little helper, ready with a firm "No, Addison" when Addie got out of line as she often does. It was so interesting to watch them interact.
We had a great trip to the zoo and fortunately the kids got to end the day at the splash park... it was a hot day! We then spent Fathers Day Weekend in Winter Haven with Nana and Papa and logged quite a few hours in the pool. Addison and Lexi slept the whole way home. Here are a few of the many pictures that were taken.

Daddy is so proud... She loves fishing already!

Lexi just couldn't resist all the fun!

Syberts In Florida

This weekend right on through to next weekend, my sister Kelly will be in town with her daughter Michaela and her son Mattox. This past weekend has been a whirlwind of craziness with all the kids! We played in the pool, at the splash park, and around the house. There have been lots of lessons on sharing and keeping our hands to ourselves. I napped today. Addison had a big day and did some swimming on her own, no floatie. This, of course, resulted in her spending some time underwater but she handled it great! She will be an Olympic swimmer by age five. Here are a few pictures to keep you coming back for more next week. Get excited because we will be going to the zoo and to Nana and Papa's in Winter Haven!

Look Ma, No Hands!

Addison had a BIG weekend! Saturday, we went to Haylee's house to do a little swimming with her new floatie. She started off a bit petrified but quickly got the hang of it. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera! Lucky for me we went over to Uncle Brad's and Aunt JoJo's house for a little more swimming with her buddy Noel. Noel is a fish and she can finally sort of keep up with him! It was impossible to keep the kids out of the water. They had so much fun!!

Memorial Weekend

This weekend we all packed up and headed to Smith Lake in Alabama to stay with Gramma and Papa at their gorgeous lake house. We had a great time. Aunt Elizabeth, Uncle Tommy, Baby Caleb, and Grandmother joined us. Addison loved Baby Caleb and if he wasn't right in her line of sight, she asked where he was. I even heard her ask for him in her sleep, seriously. Caleb couldn't take his eyes off Addison. We all agreed that next year the two of them were going to be trouble! Here are a few pictures of the weekend. Enjoy!

Happy 3rd Birthday Haylee!

Haylee turned three this weekend and she had a great "My Little Pony" party at her pool on Saturday. I swam pretty much the whole time... kept Daddy busy! When I wasn't swimming, I was eating as usual. Haylee even let me open a few of her presents. She's so nice.

Playing with my Friends

What a fun weekend! Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took me to the zoo with my friend Brenden. He shared his watermelon with me and I let him have some of my snacks. We spent some time playing with the water at the splash park too! Here is a picture of Mommy and me with the elephants. On Sunday, Haylee came over and we played at the playground. We wore our matching Dora dresses... aren't we just the cutest little pair?!

Another Beach Weekend

We went back to Melbourne this week for some fun in the sun. It was an absolutely perfect weekend to play in the ocean. This time my friend Noel came with me and we had a blast jumping waves for hours. He brought some sparklers and even though Mommy was a nervous wreck, I didn't burn myself or anyone else!

Skiing in Vail

Bet you thought by the title that I actually skied in Vail... tricked ya, didn't I? Mommy and Daddy went on a nice vacation at the Ritz Carlton in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Mommy skied for the very first time and Daddy hit the slopes like 15 years hadn't passed since he was on skies last! Here is a picture of them going to dinner at Saddleridge.



MEANWHILE, back in Florida, Grammy and Papa Irish babysat me and we went to my Great Gran's house. We had tons of fun swimming and playing but for some reason, they told my Mommy and Daddy that they were really tired and couldn't wait to sleep in as late as possible!


Here I am dancing to Dora with my Papa, swimming and just hanging out.

Happy Easter

Haylee and I had a busy Easter weekend this year! While I'm still petrified of the Easter Bunny (or Santa for that matter), I caught on to the egg hunting this year and was a pro by noon on Sunday. Haylee helped me figure everything out though.

My 1st Trip to the Petting Zoo

Last weekend, I went to a petting zoo with Haylee. Our first stop was the sheep... which you feed. That scared me lots but I slowly warmed up and was petting ducks and pigs in no time! It was the perfect opportunity for me to get really dirty! Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Beach Bunny

I went to the beach this weekend and loved EVERY second of it! The sun was shining with not a cloud in the sky however, the howling artic wind put a damper on too much fun in the sun. I did get to get my feet wet Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Here are a few pictures of Daddy and I doing the best we can to "swim".







Even with all this time spent in the water, I still had some time for a little lounging and kite flying! Uncle HJ and Alaina came too. HJ and I logged a few hours sitting on my Dora couch watching Dora the Explorer over and over and over. Alaina built sand castles, blew bubbles and colored with me. I'm glad they were there to play with!
