Another Game...

I can't even remember what game this was...one where I was more worried over the girls being warm than wear State stuff...
Here is a shot of the Grans being taken over by kids...Sidney Kate is like a magnet to food too...it's like we don't feed her!

She actually requested her hair be in a ponytail-I was shocked!

Look who is learning to scream early on...right there with Daddy and Uncle Keith!

This year since we don't have the RV we all drive down and park away...turns out to be a pretty sweet deal (I say this because I haven't walked in the heat yet)...but we just stroll the girls to and from the RV lot. Everyone seems to handle this nicely. Except...we might have revoked Papa's strolling priviledges :)

Girls and their Pearls

Just too cute...Daddy has his hands full!

7 months

And we're still growing! Like-a-weed!
Month 7 on our sweet bear rug (thanks again Dawn!)

Changing Clothes

Apparently turning 3 and changing clothes go hand in hand. This girl would change clothes a million times if I let her. When she first starting asking to change I wouldn't let her...then I realized she wasn't going to give it up. So she usually wears two outfits a day. One to school then she comes home and changes immediately. She always changes her shoes and if she doesn't love her outfit she'll change that too. Sometimes it's dress up but most of the time it's regular clothes with lots of accessories.

Take a Picture!

These days someone is all about the silly face...alllll about it!

Cleanup!

Nothing like a Saturday to clean up the massive amounts of leaves surrounding our house. These two were heavy at it while Mommy was inside working and Embree Claire was snoozing and hanging out.

We had to convince her to wear the hat...she's so picky these days :)

New Hats!

Grandma and Gran Mary stocked Embree Claire with new hats after the Autumn Leaves Festival. She got to wear the red one to a few State games...here is is sporting her pretty blue one. What a face!

Cuddly chick!

Feeding the Baby

Sidney Kate LOVES feeding Embree Claire. Usually we share, she feeds then I feed. But on this day she did it all. I find it hard to watch because she's left handed...but she does it well. I remember Uncle Tony saying something about watching Susu cut a tomato left handed...it's just a hard thing to do. :)

Bathtime Baby

Embree Claire has moved to the big girl tub...I may have blogged this before...but it's so my favorite thing! It was a Christmas gift from us to Sidney Kate her first Christmas...so the age difference is Embree Claire 7 months and Sidney Kate 8 months.

Look-at-all-that-HAIR! We haven't used a hair dryer once on ECV...SKV was using it since month 1. Ah the many sweet differences in these little ones.

State/Carolina VICTORY!

This is usually the girls' reply when we tell them we're going to a State game...at least it's Sidney Kate's. It appears Embree Claire is catching on...

Our section (odd) was assigned to wear white...it's pretty hard to manage white during the colder games-but we did it.

These smiles were taken after the game-one happy crowd!

Poor Papa and Gran Mary...one of two girls are always on them during the game. I don't think they mind too much though.

When I grow up...

I am constantly amazed at how much Sidney Kate knows. I am amazed what she picks up without us "teaching" it to her and I'm amazed at what she knows that I can't even place where she would have learned it. It was a year or so ago that she pointed a coconut tree out to me and I didn't know where that came from (probably Dora) but she's just a sharp one. (like everyone else's kid)
Today on the way to the State game she took a picture of me with her iPod touch and said "Mommy, when I get older I'm gonna put it on Facebook and everyone can see it." So stay tuned for SKVs Facebook account...when she's 13.

We be shopping

Today-Black Friday-is a day that I go shopping with Momma. So today was daddy's first day with the girls. They cleaned and played...and went shopping.

More Vids of the Kids

Embree Claire growls when she is tired, which is hilarious (and a great sign for us parents) but she also loves to sing and make noises at other times. Especially when she's being bounced.

I never have the camera ready when cute things happen the first time...well, rarely. So Sidney Kate told the whole 5 Little Pumpkins story perfectly and when I asked her to retell it she was all scrambled. But it was still adorable.

Fun times in a new toy...she's not moved on to the bouncer (thanks to Macey) and she loves it so much! Hopefully I'll get that on video soon.

Cousinly love right? Poor Jackson, he probably had no clue what she was trying to do to him. She just wanted to hug, kiss, squeeze and maybe nibble on him. :)

Nothing like a happy baby in the morning! These are the days I can put her on the bed while I get ready and I don't have to worry about her crawling off it...

Embree Claire loves when Sidney Kate pays attention to her...and frankly, Sidney Kate loves with Embree Claire pays attention to her. A perfect pair!

Me too!

I wouldn't say that Sidney Kate is jealous of Embree Claire but I would definitely agree that she wants in on all the fun! While we finished dinner Daddy and ECV played in the chair. As soon as SKV was done she went over and asked them to play it again.

No Tears!

Well, no tears were needed! The boys must have seen our sign and busted a big move! They shut out Carolina and it was the happiest I've seen our group in a long time. Great plays left and right and two girls that did great! ECV napped twice and SKV once. Games during naptime are tough but they were fabulous!

Go Pack!

We are ready for the State/Carolina game! We can probably guess the outcome but we are hoping to guilt state into busting a gut and winning one! Also sending this to the jumbotron email addy-if nothing else we will see two cuties on the screen! ;)
