Keeping memories

2011-05-15T22:05:00.002-06:00

Since turning three Sadie has started singing songs word for word, reciting movie lines and trying to write her name. She's growing up too fast so I'm holding on to the cute little things she does and says that show she's still my little Sadie lady. She still calls the garage the fridge and she says "orngin" when she tries to say orange.

She's a big girl now....well almost.

2011-04-18T23:36:00.002-06:00

Sadie is growing up so fast! We have been potty training for just about forever. I have finally stopped putting her in pull ups but she still won't tell us when she needs to go. As long as I put her on the potty every 20 to 30 minutes we do great but if I forget....then I get to clean up the mess. This does not make for a happy mommy! I just got some good advice today to have her help clean up the mess if she pees on the floor or anywhere else really. I'm really hoping she potty trained in time for preschool in the fall!

On a fun note...Sadie LOVES to sing and pretends she's a princess just about all day long. Lately she sings songs from Tangled. She'll run around in circles singing "And running and chasing and running and chasing..." and on and on. Now it's "keep wonderin' and wonderin' and wonderin'....when my life beeeeeginnnn" She's never on tune but she makes up for it with cuteness.

Sadie is a wonderful big sister who even let Sarah hold her very special bag of fruit snacks today when I asked her to share with her sister. The girls make a big deal out of getting to hold the bag lately...I guess it's probably that if you're holding the bag then you get to eat as many as you want. :) She loves to teach Sarah how to talk and Sarah tries so hard to copy and repeat everything her big sister does.

Great deals!

2011-04-05T08:38:00.004-06:00

I just got an all day pass to Hollywood Connection for $5! Sadie is SO excited to ride the dragon rollercoaster! http://www.citydeals.com/?ref=CDUMTcxNjUx

All gussied up and goin' to church!

2011-04-02T00:16:00.001-06:00

Oh what BEAUTIFUL make up Sadie!

2011-04-02T00:09:00.003-06:00

Whenever Sadie sees her mommy putting on make-up she wants to put some on too of course. I usually do some really light eyeshadow on her and then let her go to town with my powder brush. Well, it was one of those times where I knew she was being too quiet and sure enough... this is the face all that quiet play time produced. OH my! I'd say she has a future as a make-up artist, wouldn't you?! My favorite part is the eyebrows!

Goofy girls at bedtime

2011-04-02T00:02:00.002-06:00

Right around bedtime Sarah gets

really loopy and Sadie is such a silly goose

that she plays right along with her baby sister!

Oh how we love the bedtime giggles!

More Christmas fun

A hug from SANTA!

The REAL Santa and Mrs. Clause

2011-04-01T23:24:00.002-06:00

Oh my goodness! Can you believe we got to meet Santa Clause and he even brought Mrs. Clause with him?! Sadie was so cute with him!!! Her older cousin Rachel was NOT a fan and would not sit on his lap. Sweet Sadie tried to talk her into it and convince her that he wasn't scary but Rachel just wasn't having it! I got the funniest video of Santa telling Daric that he was going to bring our family a Wii for Christmas but that it was for me and Daric could only play it with my permission. :)

Christmas morning at our house...

2011-03-31T07:50:00.013-06:00

When we all walked into the living room together and said "Santa Clause came!" All Sadie had to say was "Where's Santa Clause?" She was expecting the big guy to be there Christmas morning! I guess we forgot to explain that he was going to come, leave the presents and take off without saying Merry Christmas. :)

Sadie's favoite uncle!

Daddy doing his Christmas morning duty of setting the toys free from their boxes.

There's the smile :)

It's early, open some presents and then I'll smile.

The neglectful blogger

2011-03-31T07:35:00.002-06:00

Hi, that's me. Dec. was a long time ago in the world of blogging! I didn't even post any Christmas picture! Well it's 7:38 am and my girls are still in bed and I'm going to take advantage of this blissful quiet time to update my sad little blog with some family pictures and try to write something of memorable value. :)

Such a fun Halloween!

2010-11-02T23:03:00.003-06:00

My sister and her whole family came from Vegas and it was a lot of fun to have all the cousins together for Halloween! We dragged the kids trick or treating for an entire mile and a half! No wonder the older kids were complaining that their feet hurt. We kept pushing them to hit one more house which would turn into one more street. :) Sadie had a TON of fun! Her feet didn't get tired though cause her favorite uncle (Tyler) was with us and carried her a lot of the time. She LOVES her Uncle Tyler!

Sadie was too cute in her little Dora costume as she'd knock on the door and say "tick r treat" with perfect timing as people would open their doors. We practiced for weeks and now that it's over she tells me "I want to go say trick or treat again"

I hope you all had a fun Halloween! Bring on the Holiday season!!!

My new calling...

2010-10-17T22:35:00.003-06:00

I am so stinkin' excited about my new calling!!! I was just called as the secretary in the YW presidency in my ward! I was just telling my mom last week how much I would love to be in YW and that being the secretary is the best cause you get to be with the youth AND you don't have to teach on Sunday. :) I'm so excited to work with the ladies that were called, it's going to be lots of fun!

Summer Fun!!!

These are the days...

2010-06-18T22:58:00.003-06:00

Our silly Sadie came outside to play at "Moma's and Papa's" house looking like this. Doesn't she look so grown up in this picture? Our baby is growing into a little girl right before our eyes. My favorite Sadie moment lately is when she gives me sudden hugs and kisses at random moments. I especially relish her fishy kisses!

2010-06-18T22:41:00.002-06:00

Wow, it's been a long time. I have neglected our little blog for so long I would be surprised if there are any followers left out there. Oh well, I'll post a quick update in hopes that a few friends out there in the world haven't given up on our sad and lonely little blog.

Sarah is 9 months now and is all over the place crawling around and eating all sorts of gross stuff off the floor and out of the grass. She and Sadie are so cute together these days. Sarah watches her big sisters every move and loves to play and giggle with her. Sarah now has two teeth coming in so her nursing days are numbered. I can't believe my little Sarah Bear is on her way to turning 1 at the end of the summer.

Our $10 double stroller

2010-03-16T18:56:00.005-06:00

I love to shop the classified ads on ksl.com! I have bought so much from off of ksl it's getting a bit ridiculous. I bought my car after my mission, our townhome after we got married, our awesome futon (only $10), tons for free clothes for Sadie, a kitchen side counter thingy (also free), Sarah's tummy time mat and Bumbo and now this double stroller for only $10! It's obviously old but it works just great! Today we took it out on it's maiden voyage and Sadie couldn't have been happier about it. She actually cries when I put it away. You'd almost think that was cute...it's not...but that's how much she loves it.

I did it!

2010-03-16T18:48:00.003-06:00

So this is how it feels to set a goal and actually achieve it?! Huh, feels pretty good. I guess I'm just not a goal setter but after this...I might just become one. :)

I really am giving myself one big pat on the back for this one. I haven't touched a sewing machine since Jr. High and I actually made something cute and crafty for my girls! My mom did help get the machine ready for me and helped me figure things out when I messed something up but for the most part this cute hooded towel is a creation of my own two hands. Sadie wouldn't just smile for the camera so this pic will have to do for now. :)

A rose from Daddy

2010-03-01T13:10:00.002-07:00

I guess I'm a little late but Sadie looked so pretty on Valentines day. She's holding the rose her daddy gave her. She loved to smell it and was dancing with it in the front yard. I think we all have spring fever!

I'm going to get crafty!

2010-03-01T12:24:00.003-07:00

So to be accountable to someone I'm telling all of you about the cute hooded towels I'm going to make for my girls. My friend Julie shared a fun blog with me www.makeitandloveit.blogspot.com and the stuff this lady does is so cute and she makes it look so easy. So here it is http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/search/label/baby?updated-max=2009-08-25T12%3A49%3A00-04%3A00&max-results=20 I'm giving myself 3 weeks to get it done. I'll be sure to share pictures of my girls enjoying their Mommy's first creation of creativity. Wish my luck!

Love the Olympics. Hate the BIG red hair!

2010-02-12T19:01:00.009-07:00

The hubs and I are really enjoying watching the Olympics. Love the figure skating, love the short track speed skating (Go Apollo!), love the moguls, love the snowboarding! Hate and yes I mean HATE the big red hair. Remember the song "No Scrubs"? Well that scrub needs to cut his ugly red mop! Ok so he's an Olympian, ok so he's got mad skill on the half pipe but hello! The WORLD is watching you. You don't like your nick name...DO something about it! Get a freakin hair cut buddy!

All I blog about...

2010-02-03T22:25:00.002-07:00

I love reading other people's blogs and it's made me realize that all I blog about is my kids. As cute as they are and as much as I love them, there is more to me and my family than these two cute girls. Although we're not as cute and we're certainly not as entertaining you're going to get an update on Kathie and Daric. Right now Kathie is missing Daric as he is in Idaho for the entire work week. I'm so thankful that he has a job that he loves but it really stinks when he has to travel. I know they say that distance makes the heart grow fonder but in all my experience the truth is that distance makes the heart grow lonely. I guess I will say that I appreciate him a lot more when he gets home.

Daric works for Praxair as a manager. They have promoted him which is great and it will be even better when he receives the raise that should come with a promotion. That is coming in April, don't ask me why they didn't come at the same time. I'm just keeping a optimistic view in that he has a great job when many are losing their jobs. Daric turned 30 this past month and for his big day he got to go to Denver with his bro and two cousins for a Chiefs game. I know, I'm such a nice wife! Just ask Daric.

I get to stay home with our girls which is a major blessing! I love every minute with them and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am starting to do some babysitting. I have placed an ad on ksl to be a back up babysitter. I don't want to watch kids every day of the week as my hands are already pretty full but it is nice to get out of the house and switch up the routine now and then. It's also great for Sadie to have other kids to play with and a little extra cash never hurt a shopaholic...or so I'll pretend. I've got one family that I will be a back up for (they have one very cute 12 month old boy) and I'm meeting another family on Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. :) Outside of mommyhood and babysitting...hmm...I love to shop and really need to find a healthier and more affordable hobby. Sad that all was going to report was a few shopping trips without kids and a girls night out to see When in Rome. (Very cute movie, surprisingly clean too, you should see it!) I shouldn't say that it's sad though because those girls make me happier than I ever knew was possible. I'm so privileged to have them and to be their mommy. I love my cute little family so much, they are my world, what more do I need?

Well there you have it, a post that wasn't all about Sadie and Sarah...don't worry, I know it was pretty boring...I'll stick to the girls most of the time. :)

growing so fast and learning so much

2010-02-02T22:38:00.003-07:00

When did my baby girl grow up to be big enough to eat cereal like the rest of us?! She absolutely requires that I give her a spoon and put milk in her bowl of cereal in the morning. Can you believe it?! She eats it so well that she even asks for more. It is rare that the second helping is eaten let a lone even touched but she's so dang cute when she signs "more" that there is really nothing else to do than to give in and waste that hand full of cereal. Yeah, her cuteness is worth it. :)

This little lady has grown up so much that she now eats sandwiches without pulling them apart (sometimes). She ate a taco all rolled up the other night and she can peel her own clementine! What a talented child I have!

I have started doing time outs with Sadie and she totally knows what it means when I ask her if she needs one and she usually stops whatever bad behavior she's doing right then. I didn't think she was ready for it but after visiting a family with a little guy her age that understood it perfectly I thought it was worth a try. Man, I should have started this months ago! She's really cute when she comes over to me all sorrowful and gives hugs to say sorry. It's amazing to watch her learn.

pretty in pink

2010-01-30T17:55:00.002-07:00

I can't believe how big our girls are getting! Sadie is so sweet with her sisters and loves on her a little too much sometimes. Sarah has starting grabbing her dangly toys and is making the cutest noises as she discovers her voice. She still loves her swing, she's sleeping through the night and she isn't a big fan of her car seat. Sadie always hated the baby carrier too. Sadie says new words every day. Her favorite word right now is no and she uses it ALL the time. When she wants a piece of candy she gets very serious and holding up one finger asks "one?". Hmm, I wonder where she learned that. Oh how we love these girls!

Oops, cut off her cute hair in the first one. Let's try that again.

So Cute!

Trying to soak it in while she sleeps?

2010-01-11T12:13:00.001-07:00

Sadie likes to look at her books in bed these days. When Daric went in to check on her this is what he found. :)

3 Whole Years!

2009-12-08T23:06:00.002-07:00

Three years ago we were married in the Salt Lake Temple. What an amazing day that was! We now have two baby girls and life is just as crazy and happy as we could have wished for on the Dec. 8th three years ago! I'm so thankful to be married to my best friend! Happy 3rd Anniversary to us Love!!! I want my skinny face back!

Blessing Day

2009-12-08T23:01:00.002-07:00

Sarah was blessed on Sunday. I totally thought she was going to be a screamer but she was a complete angel! Her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing and made her mommy cry. She's 3 months old now and gets cuter by the day! Oh how I love this Sarah babe!

Diapers, diapers and more diapers!

2009-11-17T09:19:00.010-07:00

Two babies in diapers! I feel like I'm constantly refilling the little diaper baskets that are scattered through out the house which means I change A LOT of diapers each day. I don't know if any of you have tried Targets Up & Up brand diapers but they are super cheap and we haven't had any problem with them. I never would have tried them but my cousin that has 2 year old twins recommended them. I figured if her busy girls use them without a problem then I've got to give them a try. So far so good and you can beat the price! Happy shopping...and happy bum changing!!!

Protect the little one!

2009-11-11T20:48:00.003-07:00

So I've known all along that I can't leave Sadie and Sarah alone together for even the shortest amount of time. Well tonight we were all downstairs enjoying a relaxing evening. We had just put Sadie in her sleeper, brushed her teeth and she was having a few minutes of play time before we put her to bed for the night. Sarah was sleeping in the swing behind the couch which being behind the couch means she's out of view but only feet away from us. Well Sadie found a maraca and it wasn't until Sarah started crying that we realized that Sadie wasn't just making cute music, she was hitting her sister on the head with it. OH MY GOSH! I jumped up out of my chair and ran to save my tiny sweet Sarah from her monster huge maraca shaking sister. Daric put Sadie on the couch and gave her a talking too while I comforted Sarah. Minutes later she was just fine and smiling at me again thankfully. We have consequently moved the swing to the other side of the room where we can see it and better protect the little one.0.

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-02T14:01:00.006-07:00

Our cute little bumble bee had so much fun at the trunk or treat in Arizona!

Sadie and Sarah

4 weeks!

2009-10-05T17:37:00.003-06:00

I can't believe our sweet little "Yeah, Yeah" is already 4 weeks old. I need to post some new pictures so you can all see how much she has already grown. I'm at my sister's place in Vegas for another week so I'm not sure how to do it their computer. You can click on www.triciabagleyphotography.blogspot.com to see some pictures of her that my cousin took recently. They are very sweet!

Two weeks old!

2009-09-21T21:21:00.004-06:00

Sarah is two weeks old now! She had her first doctors appointment today and passed with flying colors. She is now 6 lbs 4 oz which is awesome considering she came home from the hospital at 5 lbs 9 oz. She's also grown half an inch! The craziest part is that we still haven't even reached her due date. I was fully expecting to carry this little one full term so it was a major shock when she came 3 weeks early! It is a bit crazy at times with the two of them but my parents are a HUGE help every day! I don't know how I would do it if I were home alone all day long. I'm sure we'll get there but right now it's so nice to have some extra help. Mainly they distract Sadie when I'm needing to feed Sarah or when I'm just wiped out and need a nap. I'm SO thankful for their help!!!

Sadie LOVES her baby sister and even says her name...well, sort of. It sounds more like "Yeah, Yeah" but she really is saying Sarah. It's really cute! She loves giving her kisses and would love it if mom would just hand her over and let her carry baby around herself. :) It is hard at times because I basically have to protect Sarah from her big sisters love. Sadie loves to point out Sarah's eyes(which means they are going to get poked out), she'll try to grab her ears, put her finger in her mouth and pat her head. Although we remind her all day long it's hard for a 16 month old to remember to be soft. :) Sadie is a great little helper though. She loves to get me a wipe when I'm changing Sarah's diaper and then she's always willing to go outside with me to throw the stink away. After she drops the nasty little thing in the garbage we both plug our noses and say "Ew, stinky" Sadie's sounds more like "DeeDee" but she sure plugs her nose on Q. She also loves to give Sarah her binky and she even tries to share her bottle with her. I love my girls!!! It's so fun to be a mommy!

Pictures to come!

2009-09-16T11:09:00.002-06:00

Sarah is now more than a week old and she is doing great! Her days and nights are still a bit mixed up but we're working on that. Sadie loves her sister and can already say her name...baby crying...I'll post later. :)

Sarah Elayne Booth

2009-09-07T23:17:00.002-06:00

Sarah Elayne Booth joined our family today, Monday September 7th, 2009. She arrived at 6:33 am after just less than 7 hours of labor & only about 25 minutes of pushing. She weighs 6 lbs 1.2 oz (I know, the 1.2 is weird, but that's what it said!) & is 19 inches tall! She has a full head of very dark hair, her daddy's chin, and the famous "Phillips ears." (very small ears for those of you not in the "know"). She is beautiful. She is healthy. We are so blessed to have her in our family!

Kathie is doing well also. She too is beautiful, healthy, amazing, wonderful - and the greatest blessing in my life! I love that our children have her as a mother, to teach them, guide them, nourish them, & love them. I love that she will be a role model for our daughters as a woman, mother, & daughter of God. She is my light, my love, my life, my heart - I love her SO much!

Here are a few pictures of Sarah, our new family, & some of our friends & loved ones that were able to visit us today. I cannot post all of our pictures because of the network here at the hospital, but I will put together a slideshow for our blog & create a photo album to post on facebook for any of you who follow Kathie &/or I on there also. We love & thank you all for your support and love towards us!

New things EVERY day!

2009-08-16T19:18:00.003-06:00

Sadie is growing and learning faster than ever lately! I have to share some of my latest favorites!

My mom was on the phone and Sadie did one of her high pitched squeals so I put my finger to my lips and told her to "SHHH!" She immediately put her finger to her lips and said "Shhh"

I've been trying to teach her the sign language for "more" for about 2 months. She would do it now and then but never as a regular thing that she really understood. Well now she does "more" and "please" and she actually knows that it's going to get her something. SO CUTE! We're working on signs for "milk", "thank you" and "finished".

Sadie is a jabber mouth so don't worry about us pushing too much sign language on her. This morning when she woke up she sat straight up, grabbed her feet and said "shoes?" We're in big trouble with this little girl with one of her first three words being shoes.

Daric and I were set apart today for our new callings. We're teaching the 14 year old Sunday school class together. (We're botyh really excited!) Sadie stared at the small circle of men with their hands on her daddy's head with a very confused look on her face. The next thing I knew I had both of her small hands on top of my own head. I kicked Daric hoping he'd get to see but he didn't look quick enough. He was being set apart and receiving a blessing after all. I know it wasn't very reverent of me to do but it was too cute, I wanted her daddy to see. :)

A few last small things...
She loves to have her finger in her nose
She can show you where her belly button, her ear and her nose is.
She thinks it's hilarious to find mommy's belly button and tries to pull my shirt up to show just about anyone. Good thing there are lots of layers usually. :)
When she wants something she points and says "Me, me, me!" That one isn't so cute for very long.
She makes the "vroom" sound when playing with cars.
She loves to help wipe just about anything in Grandma's kitchen with a rag and she throws her own diapers away.

Well, I could go on and on, I just can't believe that my baby is turning into such a smart little girl. I'm so thankful to be a mommy and I can't believe we're so blessed to be having another baby girl! Although I have my freak out moments at the thought of it, Sadie is so sweet and so cute that on a daily basis I think to myself "Heck yes I want another one!" I know, good thing, cause there is no going back now! :)

45 DAYS?! WHAT?!

2009-08-14T19:15:00.003-06:00

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that number! Can it really be that soon?! These little countdown things are cute but it can really hit ya when you don't look at it for a while and all of the sudden it's displaying such a small number! I'm really excited to get this baby here but I'm also freakin out a bit. I know that the first 2 or 3 weeks will be really tiring and hard and that's really the main part I'm freakin' out about. I'm counting on the help of my wonderful family to help us through it.

Yummy Snacks!

2009-08-03T07:38:00.002-06:00

just like any other kid her age.Sadie loves to put just about anything and everything in her mouth, just like any other kid her age. She's ate a mouth full of dirt while I was pulling weeds. She's tasted leaves, flowers, wood chips at the park. She LOVES rocks! All very typical things for kids to put in their mouths when playing outside. Well just the other day we were inside, I was doing her hair and I noticed she was muchin' on something. She was nicely distracted from me doing her hair though and I figured it was the typical hair thing that she thinks is a fruit snack or something else relatively harmless so I finished doing her little pony tail real quick and took her in the other room. A come seconds later I remember "oh, what do you have in your mouth child?" To my surprise I pulled out 2/3 of a lady bug!!! Gross! I don't know if she found it outside and it's been in her mouth for the past 20 minutes, whether it was already dead when she got a hold of it...eww, let's just not think about the details. Poor ladybug!

~My sweet Sadie lady~

2009-07-22T09:46:00.005-06:00

We have had a very fun summer so far! We have been camping three times and Sadie has had so much fun each time! My parent bought a new motorhome and Sadie thinks she just rules the place. These are her two favorite places to play. Soon she won't fit under the table though. :)

Where is my brain?!

2009-07-22T09:30:00.003-06:00

I need to vent! I'm just such a dope lately. I missed the wedding reception of one of my old roommates last night and I'm so mad at myself! I know I wasn't missed because the bride and groom are so overwhelmed by the day and everything going on that they will hardly remember who came and who didn't. And Becky is so sweet she'd never make a big deal of it. What really stinks is that I missed out on seeing her all pretty in her dress and glowing. I missed out on meeting the guy who took my cute roommate to the Temple. I missed out on seeing some old friends. I missed out on a lot by missing this! AND she was such a huge help at my reception and I didn't even show up to hers for 10 minutes. I'm really bumbed! I got Sadie to bed late last night, went in my room, found the invite on my night stand and thought to myself "Oh! When is Becky's reception? It's got to be soon" Pregnancy brain has never been so cruel to me before. Sure enough the date was Tuesday, the twenty first of July. I'm so mad at myself for not putting the date in my phone the day the invite came! Grrr!

I hope I get my brain back someday! And to those of you out there that didn't hear a happy birthday wish from me or I didn't show up to your shower, please know that if I had a brain I would have been there. :)

We LOVE Summer!

2009-06-02T09:29:00.003-06:00

Memorial day we took advantage of Daric having the day off and drove up American Fork Canyon to enjoy a little picnic. Sadie had SO much fun trying to eat every rock she could get her little fingers on. We're going to have so much fun camping this summer!

Mommy's little helper

2009-06-02T09:02:00.004-06:00

Sadie is just growing too fast! She loves to help me with the laundry! When I'm taking it out of the dryer she'll stand in front of me and hand me one piece at a time for me to put in the basket. So cute! Sometimes she thinks she's helping when she's really just making a big mess. It's amazing how it can take you all day to clean up the house when normally it would only take you an hour. This is only because you have to distract the little one with something to get a certain chore done....hence the picture. I love my little helper!!!

GIGGLES!!!!

FOR RENT

2009-05-23T13:03:00.002-06:00

Some of you may know that we're trying to rent out our townhome but I thought I would take a second and let the rest of you know. :) Maybe you know someone who is looking for a place. Our cute townhome is a 3 bedroom ,1 1/2 bath, 1350 sqr foot two level home. We love it but we're wanting to put all that we can towards getting out of debt. My parents are doing us a huge favor and are opening their home to us. Even knowing there is a baby on the way! They must love us or maybe it's just that Sadie is so cute they couldn't say no. Pretty sure it's both. :)

I'm really excited to be in Murray again! It will be SO nice to see Daric on his lunch hour every day and for his commute to be cut from 30 minutes to 3! We have had a good amount of interest in our place...just no solid takers yet. So help us out and either spread the word or say a little prayer for us. Thanks!!! :)

Names...

2009-05-18T17:35:00.002-06:00

It's such a huge decision when you're trying to name someone! I'm slightly obsessed with names and I'm pretty picky too. Sadie was named at 17 weeks and we just haven't been able to settle on a name for this baby. It does help that we finally know that we're having a girl and I've loved all the names we have talked about but I was going crazy cause nothing was clicking for me like it did with Sadie's name. Today I was talking to my mom about names and I remembered that both Daric and I really liked the name Sarah when we decided on Sadie. For some reason we just hadn't brought that one up this time around. Well, I didn't have to think about it for long at all. It just clicked! Once again, it isn't my absolute favorite name out there, it's never been on my "list" of names I would use for future children. (And I have had many lists) I just know that this baby's name is Sarah. Her full name will be Sarah Elayne Booth. Daric felt her move for the first time last night and I can feel her little wiggles more and more each day. I'm so excited to have another little girl! Man, I'm blessed! It's such a relief to have this baby named!

Sadie will have a sister!!!

2009-05-16T14:14:00.002-06:00

I'm so excited that this baby is a girl! Daric has been thinking it's a girl all a long but I really thought it was going to be a boy. There haven't been a lot of differences with this pregnancy but I did think that because it's been easier that it could mean that it's a boy. Well, I'm happy to be wrong. Sadie and her sister will only be 17 months apart so we'll have our hands full for a while but we're all really excited! This baby doesn't have a name yet and it's actually driving me crazy since Sadie was named at 17 weeks. Something will click sooner or later though. This baby is due Sept. 28th so it's going to be a long hot summer!

Sadie's Birthday Party

2009-05-13T09:33:00.004-06:00

Cute Jack Wiggins

Sadie playing with her cousin Lincoln Bagley and Kyler Booth

The Birthday girl!

Sadie was so cute eating her cake. She didn't get super excited but just dug right in

like she knew it was her right. She ended up with frosting everywhere of course! It was

up her nose, in her ears and all over her dress. And yes, it did wash out. I'm really

glad it did too cause it was a new Osh Kosh dress and she'll be able to wear it all summer.

Her party was lots of fun and I'm glad there were lots of kids there. Sadie had so much

fun just playing with the other kids. Thanks to everyone who came!

Happy Birthday Sadie!!!

2009-05-08T09:55:00.002-06:00

Sadie is a whole year old today!!! I can't believe how fast the last year has gone by! She is such a little ball of fun and I can't imagine our family without her! She is walking all over the place these days and getting faster each day, she has her 6th tooth coming in (it will fill the cute gap she's had in the front for a while now), she is super chatty and loves to laugh at so many random things it's hard to figure out just what's she's getting a kick out of each time. Oh how we love our Sadie lady!
Pictures will probably have to wait til after the weekend but we'll have some fun ones of her digging into her cake for sure!

11 Months Old!

2009-04-08T09:42:00.003-06:00

I can't believe it but Sadie is 11 months old today! I guess it's time to start planning her birthday party. I can't wait to see what she does with her cake. I think it's so funny that some kids don't even want to touch it and others just dive right in. I think Sadie will be super into it but you never know...I could depend on her mood. She is learning new things every day and it's so fun to watch her grow and discover. This past weekend she started clapping. I had been playing a lot of "Patty Cake" and 'If you're happy and you know it" with her. Now she claps all the time, except when someone wants to see her do it of course. She also loves to climb stairs, thinks it's hilarious when she gets in trouble for it and gets extremely frustrated when we block the stairs with the stroller as a make shift gate.

She has five teeth currently and they are coming in quite randomly. She has the matching front two on bottom but on top she has the right front one, one next to that and one next to where the left front one is yet to appear. She looks a bit like a jock-o-lantern when you get a big smile out of her. It really is dang cute! I could go on and on about our adorable little Sadie, she is an absolute joy and it's an incredible blessing to be her parents! We're excited to celebrate her first birthday in just 4 short weeks!

Happy Sadie

I need Daric...

2009-03-25T09:31:00.003-06:00

I don't know how to make it bigger so this is what you get for now. I'll have Daric fix it when he gets home tonight but hey, atleast I got it scanned into the computer! If the pic where bigger you can see his two little hands. It was a fun ultrasound because the baby was such a wiggler.

13 Weeks!

2009-03-24T09:37:00.002-06:00

On Friday Daric and I went to my first appointment for our new little peanut. I had to switch doctors because my doctor that delivered Sadie isn't delivering through my due date for some reason. I was a little unsure about choosing a new doctor but we love this new one, Dr. Hebert (pronounced Ay-Bear), so far. We were at the office forever because she was called away for a delivery but it was worth the wait because we got to see our tiny baby for the first time. I was surprised that she did an ultrasound this early but it great because I was just expecting to hear the heartbeat. I will post the pictures as soon as I get them scanned in!

Update on the lady...

2009-03-15T22:44:00.003-06:00

I am such a slacker when it comes to this blog so my apologies to those faithful few who still check my sad little blog for any updates. I hope you enjoyed the slide show of our trip to Missouri. We had a great time with my in-laws and Sadie got to meet a ton of family she'd never met before. I really wish Missouri weren't so far away. We're going to try to make it out there more than once a year in future years!

Our Sadie is growing so fast! She is 10 months old now and weighs about 17 lbs. She has 5 teeth now, well she's working on a few of them but she sure likes to grind them against each other. I keep telling her she's going to grind her teeth away before she even gets to really use them but she's just doesn't listen. :) She's still our little angel and is as happy as can be...unless she's hungry! This girl can eat and there isn't anything she doesn't like! She really likes to feed herself and loses interest real fast when we try to spoon feed her actually baby food but we try to sneak in a few things now and then. She walks behind anything she can get her hands on to use as a walker, she bobs her head to music and it seems she's starting to wave at people but we can't tell if she's just excited or if it's a real wave. Maybe a bit of both. :) The newest development, which just happened this morning, is her new found love for climbing the stairs. Guess it's time to buy a gate! I love being her mommy, she makes me smile and laugh every day, I love to watch her play and learn and I just can't imagine life without her! She loves her daddy SO much! She lights up with the biggest smile when he gets home for the day. It's really fun to watch them together!

Isn't this such a cute picture?! I love that she looks all confused...hmm...I wonder why... :)

Eating Bees!

2009-02-26T11:51:00.002-07:00

Wow, it's been a long time! I need to post some new pics but for now I have a crazy story to share. A few days ago I was at the park with Sadie and the two boys I babysit. I had a small bag of Finding Nemo fruit snacks. I was sharing them with Casey, the older of the two boys and after we had been playing on the swings for a while I walked over to the stoller and popped the last one in my mouth. Surprisingly there was some kind of little fuzzy that came with it. I flicked the mystery fuzz out of my mouth and YUCK it was a BEE! I almost ate a freakin' bee! blahadhaha BHalhk! The nasty little thing was still alive in the little cup holder of the stoller but it just curled up and died. I called Daric to share I horrible experience but got no answer so I called my mom. I knew she would really appreicate the story! She REALLY hates bees!

Christmas Slideshow

2009-01-18T20:48:00.005-07:00

I know this is so late but I just had to share pictures of Sadie at Christmas! While we were decorating our Christmas tree Sadie got a hold of a candy cane and I didn't think anything of it. They're wrapped in plastic, no harm in her gumming on it for a few minutes. HA! Rookie mistake! She broke it and of course broke through the plastic. She had candy cane drool all down her bare belly and she got SO mad when we took it away. We'll always remember Sadie's first sugar rush! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. Can you believe the first month of 2009 is already almost over?!

Sadie's first Christmas

The new walker toy...

2009-01-18T19:25:00.003-07:00

Daric reminded me tonight that in 3 1/2 months we're going to have a one year old and the reality of how soon she'll be walking hit me pretty hard. She's growing so fast, I can't believe we're going to be the parents of a one year old! This video is kinda long but she makes some pretty cute noises at the end. :)

This you have to see!!!

2008-12-28T18:42:00.003-07:00

So the lighting on this is horrible cause the the blinds on the window were wide open. Sadie actually looks like she's glowing but she's still cute! She really just wants to walk already! She has been pulling herself up on stuff for about two weeks now and she's been perfecting it since she figured it out. Pretty sure she'll be an early walker. She hasn't quite figured out the whole crawling thing yet but she sure wants to walk! We're doing our best to encourage crawling first but this little lady is determined and is only happy when she's standing up. Hope you enjoy this fun little video of our growing Sadie.

2008-12-28T18:29:00.002-07:00

This is the family picture that went out in our Christmas cards. We really only sent out a very small number of them. So you really shouldn't feel bad if you didn't get one. The only excuse I have is that I ran out of time. That, coupled with the fact that you should already know how bad I procrastinate, should be enough of an excuse really. All I can do is promise to do better next year. That could mean that you can expect a "Happy New Year" card but don't hold your breath. :) We sure hope you all had a very merry Christmas!!!

Family pictures!

2008-12-13T16:55:00.008-07:00

My wonderful cousin Tricia took these pictures for us! There are lots of good ones and I just wanted to share a few real quick. I'm excited to send out our first official family Christmas cards with a family picture. :) I guess I better get on that!

Two years goes by so fast when you're having fun!

2008-12-08T09:57:00.002-07:00

Happy 2nd Anniversary to us!!! Two years together has taken us from our little basement appartment in West Jordan to our new townhome in American Fork, which we bought in June of 2007. We have welcomed our adorable sweet little Sadie to our family and life just couldn't be better. (Oh! And Sadie is 7 months old today!)
I want the world to know how much I love my amazing husband! He is a wonderful daddy and takes such good care of Sadie and I. He's my bestfriend and I'm so thankful to be his wife. I love you Love!!!

Coming soon...

2008-12-08T09:55:00.002-07:00

We just had my cousin Tricia take family pictures of us yesterday and I thought I would share the sneak peek she posted on her blog. Go to www.triciabagleyphotography.blogspot.com She did a great job and I can't wait to see the rest! Thanks SO much Tricia!

Twilight the movie!

2008-11-19T10:52:00.003-07:00

So all I really ever take the time to blog about is Sadie but I thought I would mention real quick that I'm really excited to see the Twilight movie tomorrow night! That's right, I'm going with a big group of girls to see it at 12:15 Friday morning. Which to me is still Thursday night really. I can't remember if I've ever done this before but it should be pretty fun. We're even going to make fun t-shirts to where. Just a little silly fun. I am worried that Sadie is going to be a nightmare for Daric to put to bed since she's used to me nursing her to sleep but he's a good daddy and I'm praying hard that she'll be good for him. :)

Sadie in the saddle

2008-11-19T10:48:00.003-07:00

My mission President had a little open house for his 60th birthday last Thursday and this was taken there.
Looks like Sadie is going to like riding horses some day. Or maybe she'll just really like the pretend ones you only have to put a quarter in. We'll stick with those ones, they're much less expensive to ride! :)

A little late on the post...

2008-11-14T21:38:00.002-07:00

Halloween was pretty much uneventful for us but we did dress Sadie up to show her off. I know these are super late but I just had to share them. Isn't she the cutest?!

We're in trouble!

2008-10-29T20:34:00.004-06:00

Sadie rolled over for the first time today and I totally missed out on the moment! I was in the kitchen where I nanny and I had left her lying on her back in the living room for a few minutes. I look over the high counter into the living room and she's lying happily on her belly holding herself up. I asked Casey (the 5 year old that I watch) if he put her like that cause he has been known to prop her up for tummy time before. He says he didn't but I didn't believe him at first. He insisted that he was over on the couch watching his show. My little girl rolled over and I missed it! I called Daric to tell him about the exciting event we both missed. Once I hung up I put her on her back again and sure enough she rolls right over like it's no big deal! I got the third one on camera!!!

Pictures as promised!

2008-10-29T20:23:00.010-06:00

Vegas road trip!

2008-10-29T07:58:00.004-06:00

Sadie had a lot of firsts this past weekend and I've been so excited to blog about it. I was waiting for the pictures to be uploaded to the computer but I can't wait any more or I'll forget everything I wanted to tell about. So the pics will come shortly...

She had her first road trip, her first boating exprience, wore her first life jacket, her first time playing in sand...

We left super early on Friday morning with my mom and Jeff's girlfriend Dayna. (Jeff having a cute, extremely Mormon girl for a girlfriend is a completely different post in and of it's self but we're not supposed to talk about Jeff, he hates that.) Sadie normally doesn't wake up until about 9:00 or 10:00 but the excitement of having Grandma there to pick us up so early woke her up. No worries, she was a complete angel. She was an angel the entire drive there with only short bouts of fussiness and who would blame her? We all need to stretch our legs and get something to eat.

Saturday we went boating. I thought we'd have a few people stay on the shore and just trade off being with the little ones and getting to do a little boating so that Sadie wouldn't have to be on boat at all. Wrong! Lake Mead doesn't have a "shore" unless you boat in about 20 or 30 minutes and find a little strip of sand so Sadie HAD to come on the boat. We got her an infant life jacket, well Grandma got it for her actually. I thought she's hate wearing it and cry and scream the entire time. Wrong again! She was an ANGEL!!! Even with the noise and bumpiness of the boat, the crazy wind and her annoying bulky life jacket she was just happy to be there! I finally put a towel over both our heads to shield her from the wind and she fell asleep!
She had so much fun playing in the sand with Grandma and cousin Rachel. I got to jump in the lake which is something I missed out on at girls camp...another story. I even got to wake board!

I could go on and on about how good Sadie was! We had such a fun trip and she was such an angel. I guess this trip taught me that I need to stop being so surprised about Sadie's good nature. She's such a happy baby and we're so blessed to have her in our family! We love our baby girl so much!

2008-10-29T07:48:00.003-06:00

Sadie has been enjoying rice cereal for a few weeks now and we've just started her on baby bananas.

What a big girl she's becoming! Hope you enjoy these cute pics. :)

wet Sadie!

2008-10-05T09:57:00.003-06:00

I just LOVE the look on her face!
Our little lady will be 5 months on the 8th!
Time just flies by when you're loving a baby!

Conference weekend

2008-10-05T09:29:00.003-06:00

This is one of my favorite times of year. If you've never heard me say that it's because I just decided this today. I love the changing colors on the trees, I love the crispness in the air, I love that it's hoody season again and I love looking forward to all the fun Holidays that are right around the corner. The thing I love the most though is Conference weekend. I love church in your pajamas! It's such a great blessing to listen to the Prophet and the General Authorities. I love feeling recharged and even getting that little bit of a rebuking by the spirit for not living the gospel as fully as I should be. I need a good push now and then and Conference always comes just when I need that push. The Lord's timing is truly perfect in everything! Hope you're all enjoying Conference as much as I am!

Stick out your tongue!

2008-09-24T22:39:00.001-06:00

Finally some more pictures...

2008-09-24T22:26:00.003-06:00

I'm a very slow blogger. Below you'll see the pictures from the Sunday Sadie was blessed. That was clear back on Aug. 31st. Time just flies by! We had lots of family there to support us and I'm so glad all who came were able to make it. Lots of family was missed but we won't hold it against any of them for not buying plane tickets to come out for it. :)

Pictures from Sadie's special day!

2008-09-21T17:08:00.002-06:00

She's so excited about your birthday that she's just all tuckered out! :) We love you and hope you have a great day!

2008-09-15T08:38:00.002-06:00

I always have the camera turned the wrong way when I'm making a video! Thankfully on this one I realize it in time. I just love this dress on Sadie and she's almost grown out of it. She has so many cute little dresses and she's growing too fast! I had her is a dress every day for a whole week. And that means she has a lot of dresses considering she goes through a few each day.

I start my new job today in about 30 minutes! I'm really excited about the whole thing. It's been great to enjoy this morning with Sadie and not have to rush her off to a sitters. Speaking of the wonderful people in our lives who so willingly and lovingly watched Sadie for the two and a half months that I worked part time. I can't thank them enough!!! Sadie has quite the weekly schedule playing with different friends and family. Erin, the best friend a girl can have, had her Mondays and Fridays. Sadie will miss playing with her little guy Jack. My, too sweet for words, Aunt Cherie had her on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Spencer and Lillee did such a good job of keeping her entertained! I know she'll miss her days with them. And my Mom and Dad had her on Wednesdays. And of course she was coddled and spoiled at Grandma and Grandpas house. A huge shout out of thanks to my wonderful friends and family!!! Love you guys! Thanks a ton for all the hours you spent loving Sadie while I was at work!!! I still owe ya big time so let us know when we can watch your little guys. We'll have to pay Mom and Dad back some other way. :)

A new job!

2008-08-30T22:49:00.003-06:00

Update...I got the job! I met Tiffany on Thursday night and I knew right off it was going to wok out to be the perfect situation. We talked for a good hour and 20 minutes. I can't say how excited I am. It felt so great to put in my two weeks notice at work on Friday. Sadie is excited too, she just doesn't know it yet. I'll be working about 28 hours a week, Monday through Thursday. The boys I'll be watching. KC (alomst 5) and Tommy (2), are really cute. This job really is such a blessing, I'm so thankful for Heavenly Father's perfect timing!

Finally a minute to write...

2008-08-27T21:53:00.002-06:00

Sadie is just so much fun it's hard to tear myself away long enough to post let alone type something up. Maybe that's because I'm still working part time so I have to make up for the 4+ hours I miss out on while I'm away. I'm actually might start watching two kids Monday - Thursday so that I can quit my part time job and be with Sadie all the time. I'm meeting with a lady tomorrow night who has two boys, ages 2 and 5, so we'll see how that goes. I guess I just committed myself to post again cause I'll have to update ya on what happened. If any of you have thoughts or advice on the whole nanny thing it's more than welcome. I've tried to weigh the pros and cons of the situation but the biggest "pro" of being able to be a mommy 24-7 out weighs any of my hesitance in leaving a big corporation that will pay me for sick days and such. You have to take the bad, well it isn't bad really we'll call it the "not so good" and deal with it if you're going to do what is right, what is best.
I'm pretty much just rambling on now and I'm not sure that this will be of interest to anyone who reads it but you could have stopped reading when you got bored...but no, here you are just reading along hoping I'll say something more interesting.
Oh! I've got something! Sadie had rice cereal for the first time tonight! She wasn't too thrilled but we sure got it all on camera. :) She's also starting to scoot on her back a little. I laid her down on one of those activity mats and left the room for a couple of minutes and when I came back she was almost off the mat and her little body was turned pointing almost to ten o'clock instead of the 12 o'clock position I had left her in. I can't believe she'll be 16 weeks old tomorrow! They really do grow too fast!
