Keeping memories

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.

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!

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!

Oh what BEAUTIFUL make up Sadie!

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

A hug from SANTA!

The REAL Santa and Mrs. Clause

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...

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!

There's the smile :)

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

The neglectful blogger

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!

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!
