Brett Turns 2!!

Our best birthday buddy Brett turned 2 three days before Sidney Kate and we all went to celebrate! Pucker up!

He was very excited over his cake and yelled for Saul to see it. Glad he was so happy!

Party people! Grayson and Jason had his party at the most fun place around! The kids had just enough attention to last for the hour party and then plenty more to take them through the 2 stories of fun!

This is so like something on Yo Gabba Gabba! Uncle Josh had to get all technical on us, but Sidney Kate just liked that she could make music by sticking her arm in it. :)

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!

Happy Birthday Carter!

Happy Birthday Carter!
To celebrate, we headed to my old stopping grounds. The kids have big fun on the church playground and I say it's a perfect birthday spot! Shelter for the adults and running room for the kiddos.

Here is SKV's favorite Uncle Chad helping her live our her swinging dreams-the girl loves a swing!

I was very impressed to see her maneuver so well on the play equipment. She has successfully figured two different sets out enough, where she can skip out on asking us for help. (Insert mixed emotion here)

Yeah...this was the closest thing I could get to a group shot...and there are kids missing here.

Shirt or Dress?

Dear Dad put this one on her...he said he thought it was a short dress.

More like a Brady Bunch dress...too short!

Still can't get a still picture of her!

Castle Fun Continued

Check out those fun shades! A gift from daycare!

Still loving those legs!

With hair this long, any style that gets it out of her face-works!

Park with Aunt Patti

It was a pretty day, no aerobics class scheduled so SKV and I hit the park with Aunt Patti!

There are several parts we haven't seen since they've been working on it. Sidney Kate really enjoyed seeing the water.

By the end of our ride Aunt Patti was teaching her how to throw rocks. I believe we can say this is her new favorite activity!

And she continues the left handed shenanigans!

Lovin' Those Legs!

I have seriously been missing those legs! I was so excited when I got to put shorts on her! I just want to squeeze them!

She's pretty happy too! She couldn't figure out why I was squatting down, so she joined me.

Adorable, capital A!!

Another reason I love those legs...it means it's warm outside and she plays hard! She was one tired puppy!

Random Girl Life

So here Sidney Kate is sporting some of her new pajamas (Thanks Haithcocks!).

She actually sat still for a bit and I was able to braid her hair. If she gives me a little more time I can really fix her up. :)

Her favorite corner: Does it get any cuter? Stay tuned for more funnies in her corner. But here she looks like she's seriously on a stylish mission.

Muah!

Playdate Part 3

Who couldn't love a face like that? Especially decorated with pink shades?!

No playdate is complete without ice cream...and this wasn't just any ice cream! This was unbelievable ice cream! Grayson took butter pecan ice cream sandwiches (I didn't know those existed) and put them in a dish covered with sweetened condensed milk, pecans...I can't even recall it properly (maybe they'll comment the recipe for us)...anyway, it was fabulous! Sidney Kate had two...yes two servings.

Sidney Kate and Brett found another function for her new toy-a bed. So precious!

This was the scene toward the end of the night-both standing on the tiny stool with Grayson playing the role as their base. I guess standing on the ground just didn't have the same appeal.

Fourth of July @ Uh Kah Key's (Uncle Keith)

Saturday (7-4-09) we went to Uh Kay Key's for a 4th of the July cookout. It's safe to say that for the past bunch of years we've all gotten together on the 4th to celebrate and hit up the famously known, watched and celebrated fireworks at V. Park.
So we dressed Sidney Kate in her best red, white and blue and headed to the part-tah!

Not before we took several pictures though.

Now she's ready.

More July 3rd!

So after Aunt Jill pulled these babies all the way up that big ol' hill we went to swimming...it was such a short water visit we have no proof of them getting in! They did however enjoy all that the pool surroundings had to offer. Here Brett and Sidney Kate are enjoying a nice swing together...like a little old couple!

I can't say how many times I told her to give Brett sugar and she puckered up...but there was no one on the receiving end!! He would look at her and go off to play.
Look at that fishy face!!

Here you can see everyone laughing at her attempt to give some 'love' and Brett not participating. They were so funny together!
Still offering sugars!
Pretty sure she was giving him the "Look here Bud" speech...
