Super Bowl & Friends

I totally know I'm a month overdue for posting blogs...so here goes...a quick game of catch up!
For our Super Bowl party we drove home from Wild and Wonderful WV and heading to Jonathan and Lyvonda's house. There we met up with all our friends and all their babies!
Here are the girls of the group, Ansley and Sidney Kate.

Sidney Kate so loves the boys but they aren't 100% sure about letting her join in on the fun yet. Derek and Rylan have become fast buds and love to share their gaming systems.

Here is a shot of everyone minus Ansley. Nathan, the youngest, is back there eating his dinner with Mom.

Here is everyone minus Nathan, he's hanging out with Aunt Liz at this point laughing over how she's eating his hand.

Miss Smart Pants

So here I am bragging like every other mom out there, doh!! I always wanted to stay away from that...but how can you? You watch them grow and you just want to tell everyone the fun, funny and smart things they do. I probably (in reality) brag on her too much anyway, oh well!

Here's another bragging video.

I have an app called Baby Apps and it will quiz her by calling out a word and she has to select the correct picture. She is really impressive at it, minus the numbers part.

Enjoy!

WV Part 2

I didn't take a lot of pictures on this trip, due to a sick baby but here are a few more.

Taste of Asia-awesome restaurant!

So we did a little shopping in the Village and a certain someone, feeling a bit better, crawled under a locked dressing room door to hide from us. I wish I had been able to activate the ol camera a few seconds earlier because she was standing in that corner with the best expression! This one is pretty cute though.

Just cleaning up a little.

West Virginia!

For Christmas we all got the gift of skiing! So come February we hit the trails to Wild and Wonderful West Virginia! We had a lot of fun even with a super sick Sidney Kate.
Here she is with Chase (Chasie) in the elevator.

On this night out to eat, she slept from moments after this picture ntil we finished eating. She was not feeling like herself....but you can't tell that from this shot.

It was totally clear when I took this picture! So I'm guessing the fog rolling in was caught up in my flash. But check out that major snow pile in the background. See kids on it? Had she felt better we would have had her sliding down that hill!

Cheese!

February's Snowstorm

For our second big snow we played things a little differently. We BOUGHT a sled! Thank you local army surplus store! I'm not saying it made sledding any better, but at least we have a sled for her now. :)

This snow was rather deep and on the verge of impossible for her to walk in. Even if she could I think she'd rather hold your hand or have you carry her.

Here Kevin is trying to con her into walking to him. I wanted to use her as a measuring stick.

Success!! She didn't seem to mind that too much either.

February Snowstorm Continued

The great city workers already scrapped our road but it probably helped Daddy out with all this heavy pulling he was doing.

After one turned over ride and one face plant in the snow we decided to give up the dangerous game of sledding for a trip to town. Sidney Kate said the driving was much easier in the grocery store.

Cheesin' it up for passersby.

So when we got home we found this. Clearly Kevin's car is no longer safe to carry her. Anyone want to contribute to his car fund? Someone has already donated her piggy bank.

Magic Push

I'm not sure when this started, but Kevin and Sidney Kate were playing on the bed one day and started this Magic Push. She will stand up on the bed and Kevin will pretend to push her down. She falls everytime and we get to hear a great laugh. Our new thing is to blow her over. Such a pretender!

"Oh Gracious!"

This is another example that shows you just never know what you'll capture on tape-so run that video recorder all the time!!

I thought I was just recording one cookie-faced girl who was be-boppin' to her own tune. Listen closely for the "Mommy, Oh Gracious!" Where does she get her language!

Buster Love

Buster might not admit this, but he likes that little girl.

He still runs from her when she is chasing him and yelling, "Horsey!" but he did pretty good here.

Dancing Cowgirl

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

"Horsey! Horsey!"

Sidney Kate loves some 'Horsey!" This involves her, your leg and a lot of muscle work! She has killed almost all the horseys in this house...except two. But I don't think they're buying.

Sweet Puppy Love

Sidney Kate thought Buster might enjoy wearing her hat. He was a good sport; although it's Carolina blue it does have NC State on the front. (Kinda looks like a true 'dawg' doesn't he?)

She loves her Indy!

Say "Cheese" Indy!
