My baby is TWO!

Happy Birthday Sadie!  

This is what she wanted to wear to her party--pretty typical--she is in a house with boys all day.

I managed to get her to take off the mask and put on the birthday crown but she was not having anything to do with a shirt. Okay, she's 2 and it's her Birthday so whatever right?

Dad did the honors of making her Birthday Cake.  Pineapple Upside Down cake-Yum!

Her gifts included lots of girlie things like Strawberry Shortcake purse, My little ponies, new swimsuit and clothes and a lovely grocery shopping cart that she had been eyeing on our last Toys R'Us visit.  

Having Sadie in our home has been nothing but a joy.  She is my snuggler and such a big helper.  I definitely have a little shadow following me around  doing what mommy does.  Does it get any better?  I love you Sadie Ann

Reece preschool party!

Reece had an end of the year preschool party where we went to a puppet play and then the Spaghetti Factory after for lunch. It started out okay but then....

Reece started in with one of these......
then this......
and finally this....
Sadie is like her mom and doesn't have much of a poker face and wasn't impressed. Can you tell?
Finally ending with all the preschoolers running amok at the restaurant. Sounds pretty much like what you would expect. Good times had by all.

Mesa Temple visit

Travis, Landon and myself were lucky enough to be able to attend a broadcast of the Gila Valley Temple dedication here in Arizona. I've been to a few dedications and it is always such a wonderful thing. The next day while Landon and Dayton were still in school I decided to take the littles and visit the Mesa temple grounds. It was a beautiful day.
