Sex and the City's Take...

Ready for some funny?  Last night I was in the bedroom and noticed an old Sex and the City episode was on...I never thought about watching this show so I've never seen a single one.  I thought I'd watch a bit to see what the fuss was about.  I don't know what drew me to do this, but I'm glad that it did it.

Please turn up your speakers and enjoy.

If you don't laugh-see my explanation below the video.

My sweet, dear husband Kevin, works for a sock corporation...and he is their e-commerce manager.  So in turn, I (Carrie) sit at home with a guy that sells socks on the internet!

I'm still laughing!

Sunday Fun

Since Sunday proved to be a nice day too, we woke up early from our nap and headed to the grandparents house. We wanted to get in as much outside time as we could. We started off with a little trike riding up and down the driveway. She didn't want to get in the "street"-poor child doesn't know they are called "roads" out there. (City girl-sigh) Since she was worried over the "street," Grandma and Daddy stood down there and caught her. She had a tough time peddling up the driveway to me and Grandpa-she'd struggle and struggle and say "Hard, hard, hard." By the end she was rocking it out.
After a little sidewalk chalk she played some ball. I dare say we have a left handed hitter on our hands. We were all impressed with how hard she was hitting from that side. Such fun!

That picture of me-she took it. :)

Belly Shots

I think it's 29 or 30 weeks. Hard to keep up these days. ;)

Her baby hasn't grown like mine.

Another spastic pose. She never stands still...

Sunshine?!

Quick, what was that shiny thing? The sun?! EVERYBODY OUTSIDE!
For it to be sunny and be on a Saturday couldn't have made Kevin any happier. He made BIG plans to wash the cars...it's been a long time!
Sidney Kate and I thought it would be the perfect time to ride some bikes. This is how we started.

Minutes later she was on this...

She thinks she doesn't know how to ride the bike, but she does-it's just different.

Yes, the helmet stayed on all day!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

For Kevin's birthday, Sidney Kate and I took on decorating the house. She really enjoyed getting it ready for him to come home to. Every time she hung a piece of streamer she would say, "It's perfect!" She drew him a big poster that we hung over our bedroom and watched me as I drew a Happy Birthday message on her chalk board. (Please pay close attention to my spelling on that board-yeah, nice huh?!) After he opened his cards we sent him on a scavenger hunt through the house. Sidney Kate, indy and buster were hot on his heels! She wanted to read every clue to him-I love how she made up clues...I had pictures on them and she'd incorporate them into her clue reading-adorable! After a fun find we headed to Chile Verde (forever CV) for some yummy food!
Happy Birthday Daddy!

Every Little Princess...

Every little princess deserves a daddy that is interested in helping her be a real princess!

Tada!

I totally want to point out she has no idea she's posing like this. She was in face turning and be a 2 year old and I just happened to snap her this way. I think it makes her look too grown up-but it's still cute.

"My Mommy..."

Sidney Kate has really started to recognize:
1) "My Mommy is as big as a whale."
2) "My Mommy wears her pants like this."
And she tells daycare so.

I'm pretty sure she's now fully aware that there is a baby in Mommy's belly and it's her baby too. She wakes up several mornings and says, "I wanna talk to my baby." On morning recently she said, "I wanna talk to my baby and wake her up." She proceeded to tell the baby good morning and ask me if she was moving. When I said not yet she got excited and said, "I'm gonna wake her up, be right back." She returned with a megaphone. "Wake up baby, time to move!"
Good times ahead!

This is the Stuff

This is my new, favorite song!  Just a few of the lyrics that speak to me...

This is the stuff

That drives me crazy

This is the stuff

That's getting to me lately

In the middle of the little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

...

But I've gotta trust

You know exactly what

You're doing

Might not be what I 

would choose

But this is the stuff You use

The Monkey Lives!

Okay Marion grandkids-who remembers this monkey?! Momma asked Grandpa if she could bring it over to let SKV see it...well, it wasn't working. However, Uncle Tony came to the rescue and he works!!! I totally remember days of us watching that monkey do his thing on Grandma and Grandpa's kitchen floor!

Happy 60th Birthday SuSu!

Uncle Tony built this beautiful tower...then tried to get SKV to pull a block from the bottom. It was like she knew what was going to happen and was too scared.
Don't worry-I did it! :)

Outfit by...

Seriously-I am about to give people my sizes so they can buy me clothes too! I really love this little outfit!
Vest by Grandma, Dress by Jonathan and Lyvonda, Tights by Gran Mary and Papa, Boots by Mommy and Daddy
It's almost like she's a movie star and needs an entourage of people to dress her!

Sidney Kate's Snow Day

1-11-11
SNOW DAY with Mommy!
She made a snow angel, built a snowman and went sledding!
(Sledding included being pulled around-but to her, it totally counted!)

Josh Turns 30-Part 2

Pretty much what I enjoyed all weekend, company and that chair. :)

There were four crazy ones who went skiing Saturday. Looks miserable, but they said it wasn't bad.

Part of the group. Aunt Jill and Uncle Josh up front, Andrew and Cindy in the back.
FYI: Andrew turns 30 next :) You can run but you can't hide Andrew!

Our ride out Sunday-behind a snowplow! I think he left some behind.
