Goat Fun!

Well the fun didn't stop this Sunday! Grandma had a field trip planned and it involved KIDS! A local goat farmer (is that what you call them?) had a fresh litter (again, right word?) of kids. Four baby girl goats were waiting for us to come and ooooo all over them. They were just five days old!

I'm pretty sure that all Sidney Kate said was, "Aw, they are so cute!" You can see her opened mouth expression here.

 and here...

The goat plan, I'll distract her and you eat her skirt! Sidney Kate didn't mind the tugging of her skirt being devoured...and she walked away still wearing it. All was well.

Awwww...I think this goat was going in for the sniff too.
About the 3:50 mark you'll hear Sidney Kate not wanting to hold the goat...after holding a few already.

Sunday's Best

Why they don't make adult clothes as cute as these I'll never know. (They probably do and I just can't shop for them-haha.)
This outfit came straight from Gran Mary and isn't it too cute!

Hair by Mommy.

Pose by Daddy.

Cheeses all around!

Sunday Best

See the doll? She loves the doll. Must take the doll everywhere. She even says, "I need a blanket, a 'yittle' one. Which means, go grab me a washcloth "Mom!" (Yes, she now calls me "Mom" and Kevin "Dad" Our defense? Call her "Sid" It's working for us so far.)

Minus said doll

Wanting to see the pictures I was making.

Home Sweet Home

As blueberries were getting picked I walked around and attempted some picture taking with my (more than old and beat up) camera. Not too shabby. Funny how the feeling you had when you were a kid is still there when you return to your grandma and grandpa's house.

I dare say that Momma and I had minor heart palpitations when Grandpa (94) decided to venture out into the unstable soil. But he managed pretty well.

Tony or Donald one had told him there were some big watermelons out there...they ended up being way out there.

Can't get her to do a thing for the camera anymore...but that doesn't stop me from snapping. :)

Just Call Me Diego

That's right...just call me Diego, Animal Rescuer! Driving home from dinner with the Hausers we saw this stray cow just eating grass in a field. By the time we turned around it had made its way to someone's yard. Consider this "most fun ever" and something my dear friend Jeremy Strader would love to have been apart of!
I called Momma and my uncles came to the rescue. Turned out to be someone else's cow and not Grandpa's...but sure was fun finding out!
I went to snap a picture or two and got called back by Sidney Kate, who then put me in time-out.  (Funny child!)

Random Cuteness

Birthday party night, Sidney Kate wore her "Pin-cess" pajamas.
The next morning she asked for her usual, "I want pancakes." (That is now an every morning request...EVERY morning-which stinks on weekdays because she doesn't get them.)

Sunday morning meal. How cute is that dress?

And she sat this long for me!!

Hammin' it up!

First Marion Easter Egg Hunt

So we missed the Hauser Easter Egg Hunt, due to a sleepy baby, but we got a call about a last minute planned Marion Easter Egg Hunt! Woo hoo!! Uncle Donald had a great idea to have an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandpa Marion's house. That way he (our 94 year old Grandpa) could see the kids and watch the hunt if he wanted.
Here are some of the hunters. (The entire massive family wasn't there, but we had fun!)

Some of the "old folks" as I called them. (I sure got some looks for that comment!)

And the hunt was on! Uncle Donald gave strict instructions that all obvious eggs were SKV's. Those older kids were so sweet with her-they gladly let her have all she wanted. Bryce was her new big buddy. (see first picture) Bryce would find eggs and throw them in front of SKV. Does it get any sweeter?!



Inside each egg was money! One special pink egg held a dollar. (Way to go Morgan!)
Sidney Kate got right under $2 and Bryce gave her some on top of that.
I hope we can do it again next year!

First Marion Easter Egg Hunt Continued...Again

SKV, Papa and her big find! Twelve eggs!

So...funnies thing ever!! Sidney Kate looked at Connie so much during the hunt, with a very confused look on her face. Can you see why? Could they look anymore alike? She walked up to Connie on several occassions just like she does Grandma.(You're welcome for the up close shot ladies!)
**Somehow this post didn't take the first time, but don't worry-I fixed it! hehe!!

The hunters with Grandpa.A collective, "Awww!"

Easter with Cox cont and Easter Exhaustion

Peace!

Rylan and Kevin taking in some basketball time, following by some baseball time with his Dad.

We were so on our way to Kaye's house for another Easter Egg hunt...Kevin changed her diaper and she fell asleep. Poor tired little girl!

Easter with the Cox Family

After church on Easter Sunday the Cox family came over for lunch. GG had some goodies for SKV and Rylan.
Yips! They both got big ol yips!

And bubbles-what fun is Springtime without bubbles?

Easter Sunday, bribery

This is the most pitiful thing I've seen. Sidney Kate refuses to pose for a picture anymore...

Cheesin' it up!

Cute right? Well, the next picture explains how we managed this shot! (Good job Daddy!)

Caught her!

Finally caught her for a picture. What you don't see are the restraints used in the background. (joke)

We've got a cheeser on our hands!
