Beautiful Places

I don't know if anyone would ever think to say that Hospice is a beautiful place, but I say it is. We spent a few weeks visiting Aunt "Yinda" there and the grounds were very nice-even relaxing at times. Sidney Kate really enjoyed visiting Aunt Linda, the nurses, the fish and the playground.

Sometimes you just need to see life through the eyes of a child.

She didn't let one beautiful wonder pass her by. Even in times of sadness we should appreciate the small things that make life wonderful-like kids. Aunt Linda sure did that.

Swimming Lessons!

We didn't sign up for spring swimming lessons due to brand new baby, but we did manage to catch the summer ones. We assummed that she'd be taking the same class as last year-parent/child...NOPE! It was big girl classes this year...Kevin was relieved...till the heat set in, then he was wanting to be in the water. :)



A new friend! Gracie and SKV were immediate friends!

Adorable!

Ending always involved playtime...getting yourself wet is always fun!

Happy Grands

Embree Claire hanging with Mama-two little ladies just chattin' it up.

She cooed and talked-I think they were swapping secrets.

The only person allowed to hold her like this...Papa...she fusses like a crazy woman when anyone else puts her in this postion!
(Except...Ashton was able to hold her this way at the reunion this past weekend-those two must have the charm!)

We're Sisters...Uh Huh!

I love that I'm finding so many shots of the girls together...Sidney Kate is becoming quite the holder. Here are a few...more to come I'm sure!

This may be Embree Claire's face for "Help!"

Awww...

Awww again! Happy girls!

Video Catch Up

I seriously can not keep up!  Life is just cRaZy sometimes.  Sooo...

Sit back and enjoy some hilarity that is the Lil Venable Fam. 

So, you may recall SKV's busted eye from Easter.  Grandma decided to interview her about it.  Sidney Kate loves (LOVES) seeing herself on the screen...hence the very funny on and on about everything.  "All my peoples"

Someone notices everything-here is her impersonation of "Jetta."  (Kevin comes home at the end-hence Momma's confused look.)

Venable Family Reunion 2011
Sidney Kate and Rylan jumping off the diving board...at the end Rylan tells SKV she's in 10 ft of water...she replies with "No, I'm 3."

Redneck Riggin

Leave it up to Grandma to make something more exciting...with lights! She has summer lights, Easter lights and now lights-on-a-baby-swing...

Susu and ECV

Uncle Tony and Susu came by for a visit. I told SKV that they came by
and want me to tell her that they missed seeing her and she asked "on
Facebook?" haha

Tired

So tired from all this swimming. ;)

Poolside Smiles

Rocking it

Rocking the hat UB got her on her way to swimming lessons.

My Great Dad

This is Sidney Kate's fill in the blank for Father's Day that she did at daycare.  Her words are in " ".

My Great Dad

My dad is "4" years old.

He weighs "30" lbs and is "this little" ft. tall.

His hair is "black" and his eyes are "brown".

My dad loves to relax by "snuggles with me" and he likes to wear "a baseball shirt".

He loves to cook "pizza".

His favorite household chore is "he likes to clean on the rug".

His favorite TV show is "baseball" and his favorite song is "Twinkle, twinkle little star".

Daddy always tells me "I need to go to time out".

It makes him happy when "I sing all the songs for him".

My dad loves to buy "orange juice" at the store.

If he could go on a trip, he would go "to Grandma's house" and he would take "Mommy, baby sister and me"

I really love it when dad "squishes me with the garage door".

Excuse me as I continue laughing...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy two little girls could have!!!
Embree Claire, Sidney Kate and I are SNEAKY! We did our own little photo shoots to surprise Daddy! Embree Claire's photo shoot was all Red Sox!

Seriously?! So stinkin' cute!

3 years ago Sidney Kate and I started the sneakiness with a State themed shoot.

Go Pack!

"We love our Daddy! He's the best!"
