Ready to play!

Won't fit!!

Why-won't-this-fit!

Embers Claire is all about trying to put shoes on her feet.

Saturday morning

Daddy is off golfing and we are at home cleaning (Mommy) and reading (girls). :)

Big swing!

Sidney Kate's Tball team had their cookout tonight at the park. Before and after eating we enjoyed time on the playground. Embree Claire enjoyed time on the big swing.

The 80s return

They probably never died in some parts of the world, but the 80s came to the Venable house full steam this morning. ECV is rocking some Converse while SKV slept in braided hair for some nice crimpled hair this morning.

AND YES: ECV is officially walking this week!!!

Happy Mothers Day!

Mayfest

We headed to the Mayfest today with the Freemans. Our yearly venture gets crazier and crazier but we continue on. This year was better than last year-we said no to rides and such..got cotton candy instead (don't tell Dr. Fuhrman). I think we mainly got it bc the oldest wanted it...and I don't mean SKV.

Our riders this year were ECV and Jackson. Poor Jackson fell over asleep before we got home.

ECV birthday celebration with grands

I somehow failed to forward this lovely shot to the blog!! ECV and SKV went to Mexican around ECVs birthday. She was adorned with the traditional hat. SKV however, made sure she didn't get anything smashed in her face-she was afraid it would scare her. Such a great big sis!

Sunday Afternoon

Just hanging at Grandma and Papa's on a regular Sunday afternoon.

Tball with Daddy

Nothing like a little Friday night tballing with Daddy.

Mommy Met a Star!!

I guess he was really an extra-but Mommy felt like she was meeting a star! This is Marshall and he was an extra in The Hunger Games-go ahead-squeal! He was in the movie at least 3 times! I was so pumped to meet him-he came to speak to the 5th graders and I was right in there with them!

Parties Coming to an End...

For church the girls wore their matching dresses from Mama Cox.  Embree Claire, for some reason, hates for me to ever, EVER try to take their pictures before church.  I must be ruining playtime or something.

After Mama V's and a quick nap, we headed out to play again. Joe and his mom along with the Heaths came over for some more fun.

I wish I had a video of the night before...where we bounced well past 9 and got into some fun competition. 
These kids can fly through this obstacle!

Grandma and Papa came up for dinner so we could play in the bounce house till closing time. :)

ECV discovered a love of ice (just like her sister!)

There is one huge difference in the girls...examine below...

The girl hates a blade of grass on  her foot and she'll go to such lengths to prevent it (and other strange feeling objects) from touching her feet.

This one however says, "What grass?"

 

 

Two precious girls!
