Our Missouri Trip!

Eating Bees!

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

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...

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!!!

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.

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!

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!
