State @ Wake

If we thought the first game had a little heat...we were scorched come game 2! The day started out with lots of kids meal toys from Liz-that kept the crowd occupied for...minutes. :)

Marty played ball with SKV on the hill for a bit-well, as long as her attention span would last. He's good like that. He's also good if you need someone to be a backup parent-we won't talk about the number of times he's found my child or kept an eye on her when we were distracted. (Thanks Marty!)

One excited girl for another ballgame...that is, before the heat wave zapped her energy.

Riley and SKV-that had mega fun together.

At some point she was putting her arm around Riley and Kevin was joking with her that she shouldn't be doing that...here is a picture of her quickly putting her arm in her lap when Kevin turned around.

I caught the hug in action this time.

 

It was so terribly hot during the 1st half that I was sure SKV was going to pass out-she was wanting to lay on me and kept saying "I'm sleepy." By halftime something changed, probably the lemon icy we shared...but the kids got pumped up and did great the rest of the game.

Video Catch Up Part II

So many videos and pictures...ahhh!  Need more time...
First up is Sidney Kate and her snazzy dancing routine.  This child cracks me up.

Please don't be jealous of her mad skills...you too can take her class.  It is offered in every car ride-come on!  (Please note she reminds of us Cohen's party...lol)

Houston we have A THUMB!

Are you listening?  Because I have a lot to say!

Still talking...and who wouldn't with SKV for a cheerleader?

Around the House Kinda Fun

We all have fun around the house. There is fun and then the fun that you wouldn't dare do outside of your house. Here is a little of both.
My new favorite invention is the eye patch (thing) I can wear while Kevin watches TV all night-LOVE IT! (Add that to the list of Carrie's Favorite Things-"Every-body-gets-ONE!" in my best Oprah voice)

Poor child...her morning routine involves watching one Dora or Diego (or other favorite show of the moment) until time for daycare. On this day she discovered a new way to watch it while looking completely bored out of her mind.

Our cute nerd.

I think should be part of "don't ask-don't tell." She calls it her cowboy hat, but it so isn't.

WITH

Wolfpack In The House...however, we lost this one. SKV might have known that given the look on her face. She really does have fun at the games, she cheers, "wooos" and more with her Daddy, Papa and Uncle Keith.

She's figured out how mobile she can be...landed with Lyvonda and dancing is her favorite part.

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Yo Gabba Gabba might have a little influence over Sidney Kate.  She's a fan and the karaoke machine from her cousins sure adds to her imagination!  Here she's doing her "Dancey dance"..."This is how we do it!"

After the dancey dance they always "Go crazy!"

Squeak for NC State!

Last year we saw some little girls with these super cute shoes on.  We told GG about them and SKV got them for her birthday.  She'll be super cute comet his football season...and she'll add some sound to the "Powerhouse Sound of the South!" (or whatever they call the band)

http://www.squeakmeshoes.com/ If you're interested-they have girls, boys and regular fun shoes.  The squeaker comes out too.

Dancing Cowgirl

Someone loves their cowgirl boots and dancing. Put the two together and you get one cute video!

Random Girl Life Part 2

Big puffy jacket, courtesy of Mama V. It's super cute and cozy!

Cheese! (I seriously need to quit that and maybe say "smile!")

Told you-another corner funny! Elaine from work (Hey Elaine!) gave me this super cute purse. Well, I wasn't even up the stairs with it before someone took it from me, declared "Mine!" and ran from me. I found her in her corner clutching it for dear life. No sweetheart, Mommy won't steal your purse!

Just a naked cowgirl we found running through our house.

Bringin' Back the Sit and Spin!

As we all know, Sidney Kate brought back the 80s here and at Christmas she brought back the Sit and Spin. (of course Mommy tested it out first to make sure that it was in working order, possible picture to come later.)

Not only does SKV enjoy the S&S but she loves herself some dancin'! Next time you see her ask her to dance and you might see a little booty shake. (Still not sure who taught her that...)

SKV Performing Arts

Last night Sidney Kate had a wild streak. She started the hyper activity by taking her shirt off and refusing to keep it on-so much that she'd run from you if you tried to put it over her head. (We're in trouble!)

So that explains the half naked child in the next three videos.

She was dancing, singing and having a grand ol time awhile before I pulled out the camera. These next three pieces of sweetness are what I was able to capture.

ENJOY!

Also, I learned that she took her shirt off in the gym at daycare today and ran from the teachers. (giggle giggle!)

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.

Dancing in the Bedroom

Sidney Kate has recently discovered the power button to my alarm. And thanks to daycare she's up on the lastest dance moves. Here she is bustin' a move!

She's so excited that she's discovered something new! Don't you love when you learn something new? I hope she always has a love for learning and discovering!

Square Dancing

We interrupt the weekend blogs to bring you Sidney Kate's Square Dancing Video...she's on YouTube!

I would like to send a big THANK YOU out to all the daycare ladies that get her doing this funny stuff! They play music during the day and all the kids have mega fun dancing!

Sick...

Sidney Kate is home with Momma today...she woke up at 1 this morning with 103 temperature and diarrhea. Pretty sure we all just had the stomach bug...so our first words were..."NOT AGAIN!"
Here are pictures from her day at home...looks real sick huh? Apparently a 103 temperature can't hold her down...oh no...she's got to keep on moving!


What you can't see here is the TV is playing Yo Gabba Gabba, one of the weirdest shows on Noggin'. But she enjoys it and is actually dancing to 'Don't Bite Your Friends!'

I think she was doing the Carlton.
