Such a fun Halloween!

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...

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!!!

Summer Fun!!!

These are the days...

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!

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

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!

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. :)
