Froggy

Feeling froggy!
Time to try out handbands from Aunt Mary...so many outfits and headbands to wear!

If Sidney Kate would have worn one of these she would have looked like an 80s aerobic instructor...oh wait-I have a picture of that!

hahaha...she stuck with bows :)

Making Pizza

Homemade pizza!! Grandma makes us homemade pizza, when we beg-hehe, and SKV loves to help!

Pineapples for me-yum!
The "helper" likes to eat flour, go figure. She also likes to roll out her own dough.

Watch out Papa Johns!

Naptime with Dad

Awww...this doesn't happen often enough.

Bath Time for Real

Someone should have taped us trying to give this child a bath...it soooo does not all come back! We were fumbling and making such a mess...but in the end-she came out smelling good!

The Many Face of ECV

The many faces of Embree Claire...after all those expressions she is worn out!

Happy Mother's Day!

Our quick attempts at pictures on Mother's Day...

Maybe by Father's Day we'll know how to do better. :)

Mayfest Recap

Seriously trying to catch on the blogging...
Baby Jackson and Embree Claire...off to the Mayfest.

Carter and Sidney Kate crusing in style-they had it made!

The one and only happy shot I was able to snap. That is Brett riding with Sidney Kate. She was having so much fun and they were smiling and laughing with each other...after one round she spotted Kevin and lost it. Oh well...we'll try again next year.

She was fine in the bounce house though...

Can you check out Carter's face? That kid is hilarious!!

Baby Jackson and Embree Claire relaxing after a long trip downtown.

Until next year! Because we're crazy enough to try it again. :)

Around the House

The fun to be had with a newborn and 3 year old usually happens around the house. Just a few sweet moments...

Sometimes when the stars align, and everyone is happy, Sidney Kate and Embree Claire watch a show together before bedtime. Sidney Kate is an awesome big sister, shushing and talking to "Jetta" when she shows signs of being upset. In these pictures Daddy is hanging with the girls too.

Awwww...

Whose Baby is That?!

I would like to take a minute and check the score. :)
Please check out these darling pictures.

I dare say we won't be hearing "Little Kevin" with Embree Claire.
Daddy 1 Mommy 1...But I still win ;)
Feel free to leave several comments on how much Embree Claire looks like her Mommy...humor me folks!

Embree Claire's Birth Announcement

When Sidney Kate was born we made beautiful birth announcements using Shutterfly, so when Embree Claire arrived I headed back to make another one...here it is!  Adorable!  It was extremely difficult picking a card, so many fun ones to choose from!  Welcome Embree Claire! :)

Memorial day

Holla!

Bath Time!

Note: It hasn't taken us this long to give Embree Claire a bath...just this long to post about it!
First bath for "Jetta"
We had a few baths in the kitchen, waiting for that belly button to be waterproof. She really didn't seem to mind it; I think the sound of the water pretty much calmed her. Check out those wrinkles-love 'em!

Daddy and our newly cleaned baby!

Shivering chin probably started about now.

Proud Big Sister

That's one proud big sister we're talking about! I remember a picture of me and Brady...him in the swing and me standing beside it-being so proud. (Hint to Joan-scan and send) :)
When Sidney Kate gets home from daycare she always asks if "Jetta" tried her swing. I'm proud to say that Jetta is really enjoying it these days, smiling and cooing at the animals above. Just like her big sister did!

Visitors

Some of the visitors that came to meet Embree Claire...and to see Sidney Kate, of course!

2 Princesses

I have a feeling I'll use that title a lot! Here are our two princesses watching a princess movie-Tangled. Awww :)
