Baby Ring

Aunt Jill's Mommy, Peggy, gave Sidney Kate a ring at her baby shower. She's finally grown into it and LOVES to wear it! She decided she wanted it on the same finger as Mommy's; because the other was "yucky" of course!

THE Christmas Card

Just so you know, the following pictures about killed this pregnant woman!
Getting these pictures, these 3 pictures, took longer than anything I've done in my life! (Well, it felt like it.)
77 pictures later we ended up with exactly 3 pictures that I would let be published. Craziness I tell you-this may be the last year of the Venable-do-it-yourself-at-home-Christmas-card
This one almost didn't make it, then I rotated it and found it acceptable.

I wish upon a star that this was a real live shot-but it was totally scripted. Don't be bummed-it's still cute. :)
I'm sure she'll have the same face Christmas morning-just different outfit and hairstyle.

Surprisingly the dogs cooperated-for dogs that is. She said some funny things while we were posing them. "Des boys are too big." was one I remember.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE VENABLES!

Fall Fun with Friends

Here are some fun fall pictures of a night with Ben and Jackson. Somehow I missed getting a picture with Jackson.

Ben and Jackson play so well with Sidney Kate. I hope she learns how to be a friend like them.

They both helped her up and down the climbing walls so she could slide into the leaves. Super sweet and kind boys!

Sunday's Best

Why they don't make adult clothes as cute as these I'll never know. (They probably do and I just can't shop for them-haha.)
This outfit came straight from Gran Mary and isn't it too cute!

Hair by Mommy.

Pose by Daddy.

Cheeses all around!

All dressed up and nowhere to go...

Actually we DID have somewhere to go. We had to go see a princess get married!

Dress-check. Matching hot pink shoes-check. Matching earrings-check. Gum-check.

She would have followed Courtney around all night had I let her. She wanted to touch her dress, talk to her and just plain look at her. She had a very fun time at her first wedding!

Childhood Dreams and Headphones

All children (or at least we once did-back in the day) grew up with these massive headphones at home. Fun for playing around in and listening to whatever music our parents deemed "in" at the time. :)
Here is SKV playing in some Winston Cup headphones at Grandma and Papa's house.
Who doesn't use a Christmas candle as a micrphone?

Here is her Mommy, about 29-30 years ago, playing in some too. Notice these have cords, wireless hadn't quite made it around I guess. :) Or headphones that picked up radio stations (as seen above).

Daddy has a picture in some too but I don't have that...maybe GG will scan it and send it over. :)

Football Fun with Friends

It's been so long since I took this I can't even tell you which game it was. A chilly one toward the end is I can say (based on clothing).
SKV and Daddy chilling during tailgating.

Our pal Nathan, who has grown a ton!

Nathan and SKV enjoying some quality game time together.

Someone caught their attention-probably the neighbors next door.

Rosetta

Dress up is a favorite thing around here...I'm sure you've all seen pictures of Kevin in various embarassing (yet hilarious) outfits...if not let me know and I'll do a special blog (chuckle.)
Rosetta is Sidney Kate's Tinkerbell friend fairy she got last Christmas. Well, it took sometime but now she loves it! We won't mention to her that the shoes are a different princess.

Showing off her clip-on earrings and tiara.

Cheese!

Around the House Kinda Fun

We all have fun around the house. There is fun and then the fun that you wouldn't dare do outside of your house. Here is a little of both.
My new favorite invention is the eye patch (thing) I can wear while Kevin watches TV all night-LOVE IT! (Add that to the list of Carrie's Favorite Things-"Every-body-gets-ONE!" in my best Oprah voice)

Poor child...her morning routine involves watching one Dora or Diego (or other favorite show of the moment) until time for daycare. On this day she discovered a new way to watch it while looking completely bored out of her mind.

Our cute nerd.

I think should be part of "don't ask-don't tell." She calls it her cowboy hat, but it so isn't.

Caught Reading

Sidney Kate and I have been playing with PhotoBooth and iPhoto today, since we're snowed in.  While I had the computer still open she decided we needed to read a little.  After a bit I realized I could record her and she wouldn't notice.  You can tell the point where she realizes she's being recorded-such an animated child.

I have no idea what is going on to Mommy's blog but I know she's been spending too much time yelling at her computer.  Maybe it's working now; I don't know.

Please work

I will treat everyone to ice cream if I can fix this crazy blog! Or at least myself :)
