Pics Fixed

The More July 3rd has been fixed...something crazy happened with the pictures...it's 2 posts down-enjoy! :)

July 3rd Cookout @ GG's

To finish off our day we drove miles away (snicker snicker) to have a cookout at GG's house. It was big, fat fun from the get-go! Sidney Kate learned a little bit about golfing, or at least the tools one uses to play golf.

Monkey see, Monkey do and Rylan shared nicely! Sidney Kate saw Rylan in Uncle Keith's lap and she wanted to join. She saw Rylan drink water and she wanted some. Such a fun fella!

Sidney Kate loooves Emily! She frequently reaches for her right out of our arms!

It was a night of bubble fun! Rylan would make bubble mounds for Sidney Kate to come and pop.

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...

Big Day for Daddy!

Today (7-6-09) was a big day for Daddy! When I left to go to work, Sidney Kate was still snoozing. Now this may not seem like a big deal, but it is when your little girl requires pigtails to function! I told Kevin he could just take her to daycare and ask the ladies to fix it for her. When I left I totally thought that was what he was going to do. I talked to him later and learned that he fixed her hair himself! AND he took pictures of it for me! (I tell you ladies I'm learnin' him yet!)

TADA!!!

Later in the day I received an email which said, "The hardest thing I've had to do...cancel my NFL package :(

He had forwarded me the email from Direct TV confirming his cancellation...I had to call him because my heart broke a little for him. I guess we're both learning that with a baby comes some sacrifices-his first big one...the NFL package. (Goodbye Rivers...see you when you play Carolina!)

Happy 3rd of July!

What better way to celebrate the 3rd of July than ice cream and a pool party?! Aunt Jill, Uncle Josh, Grayson and Brett came over for an ice cream party that turned into a pool party. Sidney Kate quickly saw Aunt Jill's dessert and wanted some for herself. Everytime she was ready for more she'd start bouncing her left leg up and down and then open up her mouth. (She's our little bird.) Aunt Jill shared everytime! And let me tell you-that is a BIG deal...Aunt Jill doesn't share ice cream! hehe

Shocker...she found Grayson's cell phone and immediately made some calls.

Brett fell asleep on the way over and Sidney Kate thought it appropriate to wake him with a kiss!

After everyone was full and awake we headed up the hill for some 3rd of July fun!
Notice the women do all the work!

I was just wondering if this reminded you of anyone? I have now figured out who Sidney Kate is talking to (on the phone) all the time!

See July 4th post for a comparison!

Just Cute

Sidney Kate has cute moments with Indy and Buster. I miss many of them, but was able to snap this one.

Way fun shirt from Amber, Jack and Kambreya! How cute can you get...check the front out below!

Yes she is! (And May, June, July...I hope I get to keep October!)

ASU!

With the disheveled looking pigtails and ASU shirt, she looks just right!

Cheeeeese!

Figuring Things Out

After not having her new car long, Sidney Kate has figured out why it has a hood. To keep her drink, paci and sunglasses of course! She knows to point to it as we're driving if she needs something from it or wants to put her things away. So very funny!

After picking up the paper she wanted to tell Indy and Buster all about it. They were very interested!

As seen in her video below, she loves a good phone convo. And believe me, she had one this day!

Hi! She's extremely happy because she just discovered that if she would take the small, white rock (she behind her on the right) and hit it against the metal part of the garage door it made this wonderfully loud sound! I so wish I had a picture of the smile (ear to ear) she turned around and gave me after her first hit. I think it was her best discovery yet!

Oh the looks

This girl can give some looks...my favorite is when she tilts her head down and cuts her eyes at you...but any look behind sunglasses or a paci are precious!

Cage and Range

Last weekend Kevin got the urge to hit some softballs and golf balls (thanks to Keith for getting him on his church team and the upcoming Venable family reunion). So we invited Grandma and Papa to go with us. We first went out to eat, you know hitting the batting cage after a full stomach is the best idea yet! Sidney Kate gave Grandma one kiss and it led to a lot more! You know you can't say no when that little face it tilted back with smoochy lips!

Kevin's swing...one of the better shots. I've got good ones of high swings and golfing swings!

We had one tired baby on our hands. When Papa and Daddy made it to the driving range, us girls headed home to get our PJs on!

I'm not as young as I use to be...I was reminded of many things taking those swings...my legs ached for days!

Talk-a-de Talk

I can not figure out how to get this video flipped...so you'll just have to enjoy the sideways version.

We were playing outside one afternoon and she got ahold of the garage control. She treated it just like any other thing that shape and size...like a phone! I really would like to know who she's talking to and what she's tell them. I think she's giving directions...what do you think?
