Sydney celebrated her 3rd birthday on May 13th at Sunflower Farms in Longmont, CO. She celebrated with three of her friends who were all turning three around the same time. Sunflower farms is basically this old farmstead just south of Longmont that they've turned into this big kiddy land. Compete with tire swings, trampoline, sandbox, tractor, bulldozer, tree house, and of course petting zoo, this place had it all. We were one of 3 parties there at the same time so there were easily over one hundred people there and it didn't even feel crowded. The kids all had a blast climbing over everything, feeding the animals, and riding the pony. Later in the day they even sheared the sheep while we were which is something I haven't ever seen live. It's a great place for a kids party!

Hard Drive Crash!
Warning! If you do not back up your computer on an external hard drive then it is time to start doing so! I learned this the hard way a few weeks ago when the Maxtor hard drive in my iMac died. It died very horribly too, so much so that when we took it to a local drive recovery place (which was going to charge between $500 - $2000 for data recovery) they said there was nothing they could do. Luckily the computer was still under Apple's warrenty and they gave me a new one without any problem. My last backup was in October so I've spent the last week downloading all our email since then and all the pictures we sent to people and uploaded to Flickr. The first thing I did when I got the repaired computer home was buy a 250GB external hard drive to mirror everything on the iMac hard drive. Sometimes you have to learn lessons the hard way but don't say I didn't warn you.
