Tired

So tired from all this swimming. ;)

Poolside Smiles

Rocking it

Rocking the hat UB got her on her way to swimming lessons.

My Great Dad

This is Sidney Kate's fill in the blank for Father's Day that she did at daycare.  Her words are in " ".

My Great Dad

My dad is "4" years old.

He weighs "30" lbs and is "this little" ft. tall.

His hair is "black" and his eyes are "brown".

My dad loves to relax by "snuggles with me" and he likes to wear "a baseball shirt".

He loves to cook "pizza".

His favorite household chore is "he likes to clean on the rug".

His favorite TV show is "baseball" and his favorite song is "Twinkle, twinkle little star".

Daddy always tells me "I need to go to time out".

It makes him happy when "I sing all the songs for him".

My dad loves to buy "orange juice" at the store.

If he could go on a trip, he would go "to Grandma's house" and he would take "Mommy, baby sister and me"

I really love it when dad "squishes me with the garage door".

Excuse me as I continue laughing...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy two little girls could have!!!
Embree Claire, Sidney Kate and I are SNEAKY! We did our own little photo shoots to surprise Daddy! Embree Claire's photo shoot was all Red Sox!

Seriously?! So stinkin' cute!

3 years ago Sidney Kate and I started the sneakiness with a State themed shoot.

Go Pack!

"We love our Daddy! He's the best!"

Rough night

It was a rough night of sleeping and now that it's 11:00 she's down for her first nap.

Enough said

The shirt says it all. This is her serious face.

Cuteness on a onesie!

Who doesn't want to have their way fun name painted on a way fun onesie?! Adorable! Thanks Jennifer!

Huggies Fail

A little morning snooze...in my favorite pjs! Cupcakes and ice cream-adorable!
**The reason for the title...we went through 3 outfits thanks to Huggies.

Straight thuggin'? Not with those cute socks!

How you doin'?

What a look...I'm sure Grandma has something to say about this.

Haha!

Cutie Pa-tootie!

Between the socks, dress and hair accessory...she's a fun doll to dress up!

Oh happy day!

Wedding Day Shots

Excuse the lack of quality pictures...
Here is the mega fun car the bride and groom drove to the reception in and away in...no AC...whoops!

Daddy and princesses...

Aunt Dot and Gigi...Brady is Gigi's baby...all I hear is "Marsha Marsha Marsha" ;)

Curls have fallen but still adorable! The end result of her flower girl debut was that she walked all by herself (yah!). She made it 1/4 of the way down the aisle, began running, and at 1/2 way she started crying. I believe Jeffrey, one of the groomsman, said it best when he described her as a "flower girl torpedo." She did a great job though!! All by herself!! (She said she cried because people were looking at her and she didn't want them to see her.) :D

The new Hauser family!

Cousins...6 months between each. Kambreya, Sidney Kate and Grace

Aunt Deborah, Uncle Mike and Deddy (missing Aunt Ellen in this one!)

Siblings...

They gave out sunglasses with their initials and date-pretty fun!

The beginning...

UB's Wedding Day!!

It's tough being a princess...it's even tougher having a house full of three of them!
Sidney Kate was the flower girl in UB's and Aunt Mary's wedding...here is the beginning stages of her getting ready. Nails done, hair curling...

Seriously tough job..."Can I take them out now?" "Are they dry?"

She was very impressed with her curls! I told her the secret to keeping curls was NOT to touch them. I don't really know if that's the secret but I wanted her hands off. :)

Ta da!! Please notice how her hands are facing out-nails are dry but she walked around like that all before the wedding...not sure where my front shot of her is?! :-0

Sidney Kate Goes to the Dentist!

I'd say we've been preparing for the dentist for about 6 months. Sidney Kate went with us to our appointments and then Grandma got her a book titled Dora Goes to the Dentist. She has read that book so many times she's practically an expert at what you'll find in the dentist's office. However, I was still super nervous that she'd panic and not let them look inside her mouth...or that she'd have to be on my lap. Basically, I was really worried.
SKV on the other hand seemed really excited about the trip. We dropped Embree Claire off at GG's work and she told everyone where she was going. Normally she doesn't want to talk to anyone when we visit the office but on this day she had something to say. She kept telling ECV, "Baby sister, I have to to the dentist, see you later."
So we walked down the sidewalk to the dentist!

We compared the waiting room here to the waiting room in Dora's book. We didn't find crayons but we found a TV and animal magazines!

Sunglasses to protect her eyes from Mr. Sunshine! The hygenist was awesome! She did so well with SKV!

Counting those teeth! 10 on top and 10 on bottom!

When it was all said and done she allowed them to count her teeth, clean her teeth, floss her teeth, squirt water in her mouth and use the suction thing plus paint fluoride on her teeth! It was an awesome trip and she's looking forward to her 6 month check up where they'll do x-rays!!!

Cheese!

The girls...



Cute-just plain cute.

Pooltime!

To celebrate Memorial Day we headed up the street to hang with the Freemans. Sidney Kate enjoyed her first dip in the pool this year. Swimming lessons start tonight! Woot!

ECV and Mommy were a bit stressed over the pool trip-too hot for baby...we lasted an hour maybe.

The crowd of Freemans :) Fabulous Five!

Daddy trying to tell ECV it's alright...it totally wasn't. It was hot and bright and she wasn't in the pool. :/ Maybe next year sweetheart.
