First 4 Wheeler Ride!

Papa decided he needed a four-wheeler and we decided we needed to drive it!
(Of course I didn't have these fun things when I was a child! {Slightly bitter}

Sidney Kate and Daddy took off around the yard and she didn't fuss one bit! When he stopped she made movements indicating she wanted to go again. You know, when kids act like they can push something by moving their bodies back and forth, as if they are saying, "Go Go!"

How adorable is that-she's holding on!

She even let Grandma and Papa take her for a spin! I can see a new ritual in her visits to their house!

A Little Randomness

It's been awhile since I've snapped pictures in the morning. She was having a cute morning so I decided to get a quick picture of her before a day of play at daycare.

She managed to grab one of Kevin's coupons, and a pen, and go to town. She was making a list and checking it twice...using all her coupons of course!

Sidney Kate and Rylan after the Pittsburgh game...honking at anyone that came close...with my and Emily's support. We had mega fun even though it was raining!

Uncle Brady!

Uncle Brady visited this weekend and Sidney Kate made it worth his while. She said "Uncle Brady" several times; on the phone to him and in person. Her vocabulary is a growin'! In her words, "Yah!!"

"What Advil Can Do" (The Video)

I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there. I honestly think Advil should use this video as part of their marketing campaign.

Sidney Kate was "near death" on her changing table, eyes rolling back in her head; she was about to go to sleep. Since she had a fever and was just super yucky I wanted to give her Advil before putting her to bed.

Not 10 minutes later did I record this video.

So enjoy, "What Advil Can Do". (She went in circles much longer than this video...I knew if I kept rolling I'd never get it uploaded-haha)

Dance! Video

I have placed our YouTube Channel on the right hand side of the page so you can see our videos as I upload them. They will appear there before here in some cases. However, I will try to tell the story behind them here too.

This one was taken one night when Sidney Kate had rediscovered that her tea pot played music. She danced for the longest time, going back to hit the tea bag button every time it stopped. She insisted that Kevin and I dance also. You can see her in the beginning point to Kevin.

After we stopped filming we started to ignore her to see her reaction. She would walk over to us yelling "Dance! Dance!" until we rejoined the fun.

Last Football Blog...for the moment

What you don't see here is something I am kicking myself for missing!
I was in the RV and looked out to check on Sidney Kate and the fun she was having; she was standing up at the sidewalk with her arm stretched out giving high fives to all the college kids entering the game. All by her lonesome (no one was holding her, but someone was with her). I was cracking up-didn't get the shot, but it was so sweet. The students really got a kick out of her, both the girls and guys. If she does it again I will surely have a camera ready!

Da boys!

Talk about getting pumped up! It's such a fun atmosphere!

More Football Fun!!

Going back to the Murray State football game...
Here is SKV and Daddy having some fun before the game. You know once you start something like this you have to repeat it until someone throws up!

Sidney Kate is scared of no dog! That is both good and bad; she walks right up to anyone's dog and inspects them. This dog was a friendly fella though-he had three little girls all around him.

Check out these shoes! They are AWESOME shoes by Team Squeaks and they squeak when you walk. Sidney Kate shall have a pair...or two! The NC State ones are beautiful; they have boys and girls. And I've also recently been shown the plain shoes that are squeakers. So stinkin' cute!

We do not know where this is coming from. But when she does it you can see her teeth way down in her gums and it's frightening! I even had a doctor check it recently. I will have it checked again at her 18 month check up. I really don't think that's normal.
Anywho, she enjoys doing this. (We're proud)

Behind on Blog-Oh My!

I'm just leaving you a little note telling you that I've been a little behind on blogging lately. Between life in general and the germs floating around here I haven't had time to sit and blog. It's killing me-I have a ton of pictures and videos to post.

While you're waiting-hop on over to the Moser Mania blog (see link on the right side) and check out how much Brett has grown. I can't believe it's the same little boy born 17 months and 3 days ago!

By the way...Happy 17 Month Birthday to Sidney Kate!! Happy 17 months and 3 days to Brett!

(I'm preparing blogs right now...so check back in a few minutes!)

She May Be Sick...But She's Still Funny

Sidney Kate and I are hanging at home today with some yuckiness. We are both on the upswing however; I think Kevin is just starting his journey.

Our story begins a little after 12. We heard signs of Kevin arriving home for lunch so we hurried to the couch to "hide" from him. (FYI-this is Sidney Kate's new favorite game...she can be sitting near a blanket, grab it and say, "Hide"...meaning she wants to get under it.)

So we're both on the couch quiet as mice...or as quiet as a 16 month old child can be when he came up the stairs. He began calling for "Sidney Kate" and "Mommy". You have to know that her congestion has taken her voice and left her with the sickly/scratchy voice that makes her cries even more pitiful than they really are.

So here we are hiding and Kevin is acting like he can't find us. She has learned the quiet part recently but still gets giddy and does that nervous/excited movement thing as he gets closer. He was right over us and said, "Is Sidney Kate and Mommy here?" Out of nowhere you hear this little sick voice say, "No." As serious and honest as can be. Needless to say I couldn't stay under the blanket anymore from laughing so hard.

She's sick...but still funny!

Pre-Game Festivities

As we pulled in the RV lot some sweaty guy walked in front of us...it was Coach O'Brien! I would have had a much better shot but I was slow to get the camera out.

I don't know who she learned this from.



This makes me snicker a bit. She's pointing to the letters like she's reading the words. I guess her comprehension skills are lacking; otherwise she would have not walked on the grass. ;)

Football is Baaaack!

Since football season is in full swing you know where we are every Saturday! The game wasn't until 6:00 PM, so to get there in time we left at 8:30. Shew! We barely made it...
Sidney Kate was decked out in her State gear, face tattoo and football necklace...adorable!

Family shot!

Guess who she sees? "Ri Ri!"

Another adorable moment! These two have it made! On the way home they both fell asleep in the same position with their DVD players going. Tough life!

Let's Eat!

Our last night at the beach we had a hard time deciding where to eat. When we finally found a restaurant with a "30 minute" wait we decided to stay. About 2 hours later we ate...
Until then we watched the wildlife eat their dinner!
We actually watched this crane catch his fish-so cool!

This guy came swimming from across the water. Made you sing "Du dun" in your head. Once he arrived everyone started throwing food his way...I don't know how smart that was, but they did it.
We watched.

Sidney Kate has totally lost the concept of smelling flowers and has gotten into the pick flowers mode.

Simply sweet.

First Pier Walk

After breakfast one morning we decided to take a stroll on the pier. It was so close to our "villa" we couldn't say no.

Sidney Kate enjoyed walking on the pier, waving to the fishermen and saying, "Hey!" She had no issue going straight up to the people and looking at them. They got a kick out of her I'm pretty sure. :-D

Cheese!

After the long walk down the pier she got carried back.

Houston: We have pee pee in the POTTY!

Sidney Kate just pee peed in the potty! I am trying to get into the habit of letting her sit on it before bathtime (I have no clue how to potty train, so who knows what works!) but this time she just happened to go pee pee! Super exciting for me! Yet, I totally realize this may be the only time for a long time-still counts in my book! Way to "go" Sidney Kate!! (I totally took a picture...might not post that...but I have it! haha)

**On a note for the future-Her true potty training date began on November 9, 2010 and was successful from there on!

Famous First Words!

This week has been a BIG one for Sidney Kate, and us! She has put together quite a few sentences and we're enjoying her new found communication skills!

Monday I went to the bathroom at Chick-Fil-A and she cupped her hands around her mouth and called, "Maaaaamaaaa" until I returned. (No sentence there; just plain sweet!)

On Tuesday of this week she asked, "Where's my juice?"

Wednesday she told Blues Clues, "Bye bye Blues Clues" as we were turning off her DVD player in the car and getting out.

Thursday she said, "I love you" to Kevin! I know, stop right there...it can't get any better!

**However, her first sentence will always be "I got ice cream!"

Sand and Ocean

We tried a different approach with Sidney Kate this trip. We let her wear some shoes on the beach. It seemed to help but she still wasn't in love with the sand. You know once you get within a mile of the stuff it magically appears all over your hands and feet!

It may look like she's enjoying herself but I'm pretty sure she's crying from the other side. Kevin ended up holding her and standing in the "waves" with her. She enjoyed that and it was fun to see them play.

Every girl needs to lay out and tan awhile. She did a great job, under the tent-haha!

Beach Fun and Games!

We arrived at the beach Friday and hit the pool first thing. Sidney Kate has gotten so much better at pool play. She was worn out after we played in the chilly (yes, chilly water in September!) water, so she decided to chill a bit before catching her second wind.

When went out to eat at Joe's Crab Shack (I loooove their coconut shrimp!). Getting a picture of Sidney Kate and Rylan has proved to be a killer task and near impossible. However, we still get cute shots.

We hit this way fun shop and Sidney Kate ran straight to the table once she spotted the tea set. (She has one at home that she loves dearly and the girl knows how to use it!) When Rylan saw what she was doing he walked right over and said, "I want some tea!"
Adorable! I love watching these two together!

Sidney Kate learned to play "Duck, Duck, Goose!" while we were at the beach. Of course, this was a restaurant game. I'm sure this is a no no, but it was cute. She never got to the "Goose" part though.

N...C...State! Part II

Don't let her small stature or age fool you; this girl knows exactly what she's doing and her looks say so!

Exploring the hill behind the tailgate party.

That's a mighty fine looking cornhole board!
Sidney Kate quickly figured this game out; at least the get it in the hole part.

Then she got too lazy to stand-haha!
