Old memories of Sadie 7+ months ago.

So I have about 15 different blog posts that I started on and never finished and have decided that if I liked them back then I might as well finish them while they are still somewhat fresh on my mind. So here we go.


About 8 months ago Sadie had this little phase she went through. I guess it really wasn't a phase then because she is still doing it just not as full force as back then. I would so often and still do find her playing in the sink, whether it was filling up cups of waters and dumping them back and forth into different cups or....

washing her hair in the sink



This was back in June. As you can tell from behind her she was initially playing with cups, but decided she needed to wash her hair. Why would she ever think to do this? Well I think she has been taking showers with me to much because I have a crazy shower routine. Whenever I wash my hair I wash it under bath faucet and not the shower head. I just so much better water pressure from it that way. I don't even know when I started doing it that way but I know it has been for years and years.




I don't have a ton of memories of when I was a kid like under the age of 10 or so, but one memory I do have is when my mom would fill up the sink full of bubbles for dishes and let us play with them. I think she would even let us put them on the ceiling, or maybe I wasn't suppose to and still did but regardless I had fun. Well this little girl ( 7 months ago) probably realized how deprived she was one day because I found her doing this (ignore my dirty counter). Actually to tell you the truth a lot of it is my fault. She went through a phase that she didn't like me doing her hair so I would put her on the bar by the sink and let her just play in the water. She then started doing it on her own but just went decided to use her bubble bath with it.

She of course was in heaven and I sure had a great laugh from it. LOVE HER!

Randomness (kids, memories and BACHELOR!)

So today we did our weekly trip to Costco to go re-stock up on milk. We decided we would treat ourselves to a little berry smoothie. Jaden went CRAZY when he saw it. This boy knows what is good :) Well Sadie LOVED sharing with Jaden and he loved her for it. Everyone walking by kept saying how cute they thought it was. This old guy started walking right next to me saying how cute they were and asked if they were twins :) I thought to myself "really? Here Sadie is talking to Jaden clearly while Jaden is going UH UH UH to her asking for more. Sure they might weight about the same but she sure has some height on him". I just smiled at him and told him that they were 2 years apart. What I have learned is old men have a hard time distinguishing age and sex of children. One time an old guy asked me if Sadie was a boy when she was a baby. She was wearing a bow even :) but in his defense she was wearing a cute green sweat outfit that I could see him thinking a boy could wear even though it was totally a girl outfit.



It was cute though for both these old men to at least be friendly people. By the way I LOVE old man. They warm my heart, SERIOUSLY! Something about old men make me happy. I don't know if it is because of my awesome Grandpa Jones that I was so close to but you gotta love'm



Randomness: Me going to the bathroom is usually a family event here in this home. Sadie and Jaden both for some reason think they always need to join me. Well last week I decided that heck, I was going to pee by myself so I shut the bathroom door and enjoyed my 45 seconds by myself. I went to open the door to Miss Sadie and Mr. Jaden kneeling on their knees leaning themselves on the door just waiting patiently for me to open it. LOVE THEM!


BACHELOR: I know this show is SO SINFUL :) but I LOVE IT! I have cut pretty much every other show out there that I didn't think was good or have avoided getting into others ones, but man oh man this one just calls my name. Why you ask, well there is ONE reason. GIRLS NIGHT OUT! That's right, me and some of the ladies get together at 9pm when the kids are to bed and watch it and I LOVE that time I have with them! I have such great friends and I am so lucky to have them in my life.
So I want to know what people are thinking about Bachelor this season. Who do you love and who do you want to get the boot, let me guess VIENNA!?! Who is going to win do you think?

Just the 2 of them (6 months ago)

Oh my heavens, I just ran across this post that I was working on back in the beginning of AUGUST!!!!!!!! I had all the pictures uploaded but must have forgotten about it. Lets see how well my memory is :) I can't believe how much they both have grown up in these last 6 months.


Back in July we decided to go boating with Grandma and Grandpa Christiansen before they sold their boat. What I LOVE about this picture though is that Sadie and Jaden love holding each others hand in the back of the car.
Why would this little girl have this little smirk on her face.....
because she use to LOVE to put her fingers in Jaden's mouth and she knew she wasn't suppose to. You will never see her finger in his mouth anymore with those chompers he has now :)
No need to explain why I LOVE this one.
Sadie always wants to be a big girl, and do the things her mom does.
Sadie helping Jaden feel his touchy feely books.
This was right before Sadie was potty trained and Jaden and Sadie were in the same size diapers. Jaden as of a few months ago started wearing bigger diapers then Sadie has ever worn. Don't you love that his thighs and belly is bigger then hers :)
One night Jaden was laying on our bed and Sadie "was" in her room asleep. Travis and I went upstairs to go to bed to find little miss Sadie who must had woken up and walked into our room, and fallen asleep right next to Jaden. I remember using just laughing so hard wondering how she was able to sneak in there without us hearing her.
Sadie has always been so good to help me out with Jaden. She use to LOVE to feed him when it was the "new" thing. She still wants to now, but isn't constantly asking to every second like she use to.


Oh I love this picture for many reasons. Sadie's silly face, Jaden caught off guard by the camera, and it showing "life" whenever I am on the floor (or laying down) with one of them, there is usually the other one wanting to join in and climb on me. LOVE these kiddos!
Oh how grateful I am football season is over :) but how not so grateful the kids probably are because sad to say they LOVED sitting on Travis's lap watching it with him.
Sadie wanting to join in on Jaden's fun!
Jaden and Sadie have always had fun taking baths together, she would even join him in his mini bathtub occasionally.
Luckily for Jaden he advanced to his big boy tub. Sadie still of course so happy he is there with her.
Oh wow, I look like a battered wife in this picture, but the truth is that occasionally at night I will rub my eyes like crazy and not even care that it is smearing my mascara, now with that said.... Whenever I am sitting in the rocking chair with Jaden, whether it is me nursing him, reading to him, or just rocking him Sadie wants to join in. There is like a tiny spot that she can fit her little legs, but it is a tight squeeze and it just getting tighter and tighter.
Sadie use to always love to help Jaden brush his teeth. He looks like he wasn't quite sure what to think about it, good thing now his toothbrush is his most FAVORITE thing ever!
Well now seeing all these pictures of them back then makes me want to catch up on the picture of just the two of them. I am just about 5 months behind :)

My little Sunshine!

First off lately I feel like I have not been taking very many pictures of the kids, so when it comes to their monthly update I always think to myself that there wont be very many pictures, but I am always very shocked on how many there really are. I really need to go about doing this different because these just drag on, but until then here we go

Wow we love this girl. She is one funny little thing. Sadie is such a little tease and is SO hilarious! She is starting to get her dads crazy sense of humor and she KNOWS when she is being funny and will roll with it as long as you will let her :) I can't believe it is 2 more months til she is THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!?! I am trying to love every second I can with her. Here is what has gone on with her this last month.
The first couple weeks after Christmas was HEAVEN! She was loving the excitement of all her new toys and would play with them for so long.
She LOVES making me yummy ice cream cones. She is working out those guns because man oh man I even have a hard time pushing all the play dough out of that bad boy.
Sadie got Moo Uno for Christmas from Grandma. She loves this game, but is kind of a cheater :) We are working with her on that :)
Travis is such a fun dad to our lucky kids. He sure is young at heart at times. :) Sadie and Travis are so funny when they talk to each other. They tease each other all the time. Travis LOVES hearing Sadie say certain words like "hyurt" (hurt) (it is darn cute how she says it) They will have "hurt wars" saying random things that hurt for pretends just so he can hear her say "my arm hyurts" or "my leg hyurts". Sadie also had an obsession with Santa's reindeer's. I don't even really remember how this started but they always joke about his reindeer's coming to our house and Sadie now always jokes saying "not have chairs for the reindeer's". She once asked me if they would come in our house and I told her they better not otherwise they might poop on my carpet which she thought was so funny. She will still randomly remind me that if the reindeer came to our house they would poop and that I wouldn't be happy.
Sadie is my little singer. She memorizes songs so quickly and LOVES singing. She will sing to Jaden if he is fussing and in this case when we were watching her new baby cousin Lilah. Sadie has a pretty good voice and is good at staying on beat, but she is starting to experiment with how her voice works and will use her vibrato and maker her voice shake and do other funny things with it.
One day my cute sister Joy called and asked if she could come over and play with Sadie. She brought some sugar cookies and frosting for the two of them to decorate. It might look like it is bedtime for Sadie, oh but no, it was mid day, but Sadie as always has to change her outfit, especially lately before her nap in which she likes to wear her "how does she know" dress and this was right after her nap :)
She made one for each of us. Joy asked her what she wanted mine to say and Sadie said "Thank you Mom" so there you go. I realized I should have taken a picture of it after I took a huge bite from it. SO SO GOOD!
IF ONLY TRAVIS KNEW WHAT THIS WOULD LEAD TO :) Oh dear oh dear. Sadie LOVES band aids. She will do her silly little whine which we know is fake, and she knows we know it is fake, but she still does it to be funny. She is always telling us that something hurts and she needs a band aid. One day she told me she wanted a band aid for her eye (I think it was just allergies) I of course just wouldn't put a band-aid on her face just for fun. FAST FORWARD a couple hours when Daddy is home and isn't using the best common sense :) and agrees to give his little princess who is wrapped around his finger (for the most part) a band-aid for her face. Right after I saw it I was dreading the time we would have to take that bad boy off which if she has a say in to it, it would be NEVER or until it falls off on its own.
FAST FORWARD a couple more days after she has still refused to let it be taken off. Imagine a early morning. Sadie had come into my bed in the middle of the night (she seriously is so sneaky) and was still sleeping in my bed. Jaden had woken up for the morning and I had nursed him in his room, and brought him back into my bed and he fell asleep with us. I was dozing off a little bit and I believe Travis was still in the bed. I woke up to Sadie crying. I look over and her band-aid was off of her face. I was confused, I had no clue how it was taken off. Jaden was of course awake at that point (who couldn't wake up to that crying). Our conclusion was Jaden must have ripped it off of her face, or else I did somehow during my sleep without even realizing it. The wonderful outcome........ Don't worry though, it wasn't like Jaden had a 9 month doctor appointment the day or two after and here my child looks like she was battered at home :) Travis learned his lesson very fast after that :)

Sadie has also learned how bad it can hurt when a band-aid is ripped off so anytime she has a band-aid on her now she will remind me over and over and says "mom I need you to be careful, I don't want you to rip my band-aid off of me". A certain somebody (not Travis) put a band-aid on Sadie's tummy after she got a rug burn. Well anytime I try to bath her, or help put a shirt on her she will always remind me "be so careful be so careful on my oowie".
This might look like a potty dance to you, but in this household we know it is just Sadie attempting to do her curtsies. This girl is a dancing machine at home, she always brings so much excitement and entertainment to us
Sadie is my little photographer and is always wanting to take pictures with my big o'l camera, she even got her own small one for Christmas but of course moms is more fun. This is a picture she did all by herself. I wish I hadn't looked so goofy but oh well, we were having a good time :)
Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE Sadie's laugh. It is seriously one of the best noises you could ever here. She has a few different kinds of laughs, it all ranges from a deep belly laugh, to a little girly laugh. LOVE HER!
I don't know why, but this is probably one of my most favorite pictures EVER of the two of them. Jaden LOVES LOVES LOVES his Sadie. She is always looking out for him and he is always trying to copy her. Now of course they are both just taking a drink of water so it's not like he couldn't be copying her, but I don't know, I just LOVE THIS! Sadie also always wants Jaden's highchair next to her so she can help feed him. She is loving the fact that he is eating what we eat now, but is always so protective of what he eats. She is a good big sister!
Sadie was in HEAVEN this day. She asked me if she could sit in Jaden's highchair and eat lunch in it and watch Anastasia (we had rent it at the library and she was obsessed). She was thrilled because I told her she could.
my little curly Sue. Sadie is starting to realize how much she loves her locks. She loves to comb her hair, but the best is when she tips her head to the side and tries to run her fingers through her hair and fluff it up. What a little hoot!

Sadie is learning new things everyday. I was teaching her her birthday a couple weeks ago. Here is how it went. R: say March S: march R:24th S: Mark Christiansen hehe he (her Grandpas name). She refused to say her birthday and just wanted to joke around, but the next day randomly she decided on her own to tell me her birthday. She is also learning how to count, not just saying 1-20 but for the last few months she has been able to put numbers to objects. She has been able to do it to 2 things for a long time, but I have seen her be able to count things and get them right up to 7 or 8 things.Sadie is always so good at making me feel loved. She loves hucking kisses at me. Yes hucking. She throws them SO hard that they make me fall over to the ground. She also loves to catch all the kisses I throw to her.
Sadie's FIRST DENTIST APPOINTMENT! We were just about to head on over to the dentist for Miss Sadie. I had been talking to her about it for a week. We were so excited talking about all the great things she got to do at the dentist
We got there.... she loved the waiting room, it was kind of exciting getting to walk in the back area. Then something went wrong...very wrong. The assistant was BORING! She told Sadie to sit on the table, she didn't bring any excitement to anything. I first of all should not have brought Jaden with me so I could have given Sadie a little bit more attention. The assistant tried to get x-rays of Sadie's teeth. First of all honestly do you think little 2 year old are going to open their mouth so you can put something very foreign in it while there is this weird old machine right in front of there face. Maybe some kids but not this one. It took a little bit of explaining on my part for her to finally be willing to do it.

Next came the teeth cleaning. Again, is a 2 year old going to open her mouth while you have this loud spinning thing headed right towards her mouth especially before you explain what the heck it is. NO! Was there anyway of convincing or talking her into opening her mouth NO! I tried it all but this girl was not going to have anything to do with that ;) When the dentist came in though we were whistling a new tune. He is upbeat, silly and very friendly. Now was she willing to open her mouth for him so he could count her teeth. YES! Lesson learned, when you are trying to work with a 2 year old try to add a little bit of excitement :) K I really am not that bugged, I totally could understand that the assistant might have just had a bad day. I just thought it was funny that she was working at a pediatrics office. Was Sadie thrilled about her new toothbrush and toothpaste YES! All in all it was a pretty good appointment.
Aunt Joy and Grandma came over to visit for a bit and get some boxes out of my basement Halleluah. Sadie wanted to dance with Aunt Joy. I think I now know where Sadie gets her sweet moves :)
Sadie's cousin Avery came over to play one Saturday. They had such a fun time having craft time.
Sadie makes me laugh. When we go to get Jaden out of his crib after his nap she often has to climb in there first before I grab him. Her thing at this time was to put her babies in there and have them go to sleep.
So Travis served his mission in Haiti. So the Sunday after the earthquake they had a little get together at temple square. After that we decided to head to the visitors center to defrost my toes and to look around a little bit. Sadie was in heaven because of course there was an elevator for her to go in.
This child is my little striper. She always sneakily changiner her clothes. Well I went to check up on her during her nap one day, and she didn't finish all the steps of changing her clothes and instead just decided to sleep in the nude. Afterwards I found out she was completly in the nude undies and all GONE!
RANDOM: Whenever Sadie is talking to someone on the phone she always wants them to talk to Jaden to so she will get excited and say "Jaden say hi buddy" and then she will talk baby talk as if she is talkng for him.
As you might now Mr. Jaden has been crawling for the last couple of weeks now, and Miss Sadie has sure been a good cheerleader for him. Sadie is always wanting to crawl with him and be so cute with him. Until she gets bored, and remembers that she has clothes on......
Then this happens. She strips down and decides she wants to do what I am doing at the moment which is cooking.
She grabs her blasted chair that allows her to get into anything she wants to and got all of her pots and pants and starts to cook. It is fun having a little cooking buddy even if she does still a ton of your noodles that she uses for her own purposes and man handles them to the point that even with a blessing you wouldn't dare eat them :)

unless you were her :)
I love this face, but I KNOW it is going to lead to .....
this face, and this face is NO GOOD! Beacause I consider it as her "playing dumb" face, as if she is pretending like she doesn't know why her clothes are somehow slowly coming off of her. And like her wondering why I am wondering why she is taking off her clothes
BLAST YOU Sadie :) Man I can't wait for her to stay in a outfit. Oh the things I have tried to do to encourage it. NO HOPE!
WE LOVE YOU OUR LITTLE TURKEY BUTT!

Happy 21st!

So my cute sister in law Nicole turned the big 21 last week. We celebrated the day before going to the Mayan like we do every year. Sadie and Jaden has a blast watching all the divers.

Well on her actual birthday I found out she was just going to be home for the night so I thought it would be fun to go over there and and have a little party. Travis was at school that night so it was just me and the kids that ended up going.

We had a fun night playing games together and just hanging out
They had a Birthday cake for her that we ate the night before, so we decided to eat the rest that night hence half of a cake. Sadie of course was all about blowing out the candles, and I think Jaden wasn't quite sure what to think about it. Jaden did try and grab the flame and I don't know how he didn't burn himself.My frosting trying to slime Aunt Colie
I brought some bubbly to help celebrate the big 21

This non experienced drinker kind of getting a little loopy at this point. LOL
We even let Sadie join in on the fun. Twenty-one eh, 2 is old enough right!?! :)
We pretty much got as wasted as we possibly could be with our sparkling cider.

Sweet Baby Boy!

Wow my baby is already 9 months old, it seems like he has been in our family forever! Sadie and I during the day will always thank Jaden for being part of our family. We all just love him SO much! So this cute guy just had his 9 month doctors appointment. He was weighing in at 21lbs 11 oz, and 29.2 inches which means this boy is starting to thin out a little bit :). At his 6 month appointment he was 95% for weight, height and head, now he is 75% for all three things. If you can't tell by all these gazillion pictures of this cute kid he has red rosy cheeks that look nice and dry, but even better his poor little legs are all irritated. The doctor has had me try lots of different creams and steroids (none has worked) thinking that it could possibly be just a real bad case of eczema but it was determined that it is for sure not that, and he had some long name of what he thinks it is and yet again we are trying something new (still not working). He also had yet again another ear infection. This boy gets ear infections like I get zits which means ALL THE TIME! The bad thing though is half the time he gets them he doesn't get the typical fever that comes with them, so I don't even know. It was a double ear infection this time and the doctor said it was really bad but he wasn't even fussy or giving me any signs (tough boy). They gave him a extra strong dose of antibiotics to get rid of it because they aren't sure if they ear infections are completely going away. ENT doctor here we come!

Here is what this handsome thing has been up to this last month.
I have always said I just know Jaden will always have a special place in his heart for Sadie. He just LOVES her and is so patient with her. Especially with all the things she does to him for her personal entertainment.
We watched our friends kids who are the same age as ours one night. Sadie was in HEAVEN torturing 2 boys when she was in her phase of putting bows on Jaden. Poor little Parker never knew this way of life til that night since he only has an older brother.
Oh poor Jaden. I sure do have some great black mail on you :)
Call me crazy because I thought some people were when they would tell me things like this but this boy says certain words ALL the time and they fit to what is happening at that moment. He says Hi, one time Sadie handed him something and she said "here buddy" and he said back "dank oo" (thank you) Sadie and I both looked at each other and got excited for Jaden. I have also heard him say "I luv oo" after I have told him I love him. And many other things too that I can't remember right now.Sure this is kind of a girl toy (Sadie got this for her first Christmas from Santa), but Jaden LOVES it. It was the toy that sparked his interest in pulling himself up by himself
It was somewhat of a process for him. First he was able to get up on his knees
Then to a knee and a leg and then decided that he was just as happy as can be about that because he could reach everything he needed at that height.
He also has been working on crawling. This whole last month he has been able to sit up from laying position and from sitting position go on his hands and knees, but as much as I knew he could just crawl if he would try once he instead.....
would roll on his back! BLAST! But he knows how to get whatever he wants without crawling at this point. We would put something far away from him and he would go from his bum to his tummy and stretch as far as he could to try and reach it. Once he realized he couldn't he would roll on his back and then scootch on his back towards it, then roll back on his tummy and grab it. TA-DA. (he actually knows how to crawl right now, but since I writing about the past month, the good crawling news will be on next months post, CRAZY I KNOW!)
Little CRIMINAL! This boy loved the Christmas train and thought he could just snatch it off the tracks. He was sure a proud boy.
I think he Mickey crown was actually my doing this time even though Sadie has put it on his head many other times. Three things this boy loves- His Momma, remote control, and toothbrush. Some nights he's gotten away with sleeping with it in his hands because he has one tight grip and will sometimes get SO mad if we take it away so we pick our battles. Jaden is the happiest boy ever, but when he gets mad he gets mad to the point of holding his breath when he is crying. silly kid
He is also starting to get into things and has discovered the great entertainment a box of baby wipes provides
Jaden and his best buddy
We know Jaden is definitely related to us because he sure has a sweet tooth. He definitely gets away with more little sweets here and there then Sadie did at this age. I guess that's what happens with #2
This boy loves his nice wheels

Jaden is usually in his highchair but for some reason we had the booster chair upstairs and it was so fun having him sit at the bar next to Sadie. Definitely not convenient with trying to feed him but it was fun for the day :)
Travis and Jaden are good little buddies and love playing with each other
Mr. Jaden started a little phase of sticking his tongue out whenever he was doing anything. He would always stick it to one side of his mouth with it rolled up over his lip.
What a goof ball :) His other thing he LOVES doing is clapping. YEA Jaden! He hears that all the time in this house. Jaden LOVES to clap. He will clap for himself all the time. He will do something he knows is cool and will clap right after. This was kind of a big deal for us, because Sadie REFUSED to clap until after she was 1. I tried and tried to put her hands together to encourage it and she just wouldn't.
This boy has become such a GOOD sleeper. He has always been real good for naps, but bedtime was a different story from 2 months -6.5 months. Now he rarely will wake up in the middle of the night and sleep from 8:30 pm - 7:30 am. He does have a few requirements though to fall asleep. He HAS to sleep on top on his polka-dot blanket, and then has to have his strip blanket on top on him. He will always sleep on his back and stay on his back except for this day. I went to check up on him (which by the way he has become a real good deep sleeper and rarely will wake up from noises and if he does he will go right back to sleep) and he had moved to the bottom of the bed and rolled onto his belly. This picture kind of makes me a little dizzy from his bumpers. No wonder why he falls asleep so fast with how dizzy that fabric makes you.

I have never really had to worry about Sadie ever trying to feed Jaden things he shouldn't have when he was a baby. It was like black and white for her that he just couldn't have anything but "mommy's milk" so she said. Well ever since he is starting to eat more of our food she is always asking if she can give him a bite too. He loves it and so does she. Of course there is no way he could take a bite of the pizza (even though it sure looks like he is trying to) but he sure did love sucking on it.
Fat boy in a little stroller. I think he got a little stuck. Way over the weight limit though, good thing it didn't give in on him.
The most exciting thing for him turing 9 months old was now we aren't "sneaking" little bites of our food to him. But it is official now he can have whatever we eat and he is LOVING that idea. To celebrate on his 9 month B-day I made the family yummy dinner that would be super easy for him to eat too. He ate it all of course. Side note: leading up to this day he was starting really get mad when I fed him baby puree food. I discovered one time when I fed him one that had been left in the car and was cold that he would only eat his baby food if it was really cold.
What would we do without our Sadie who loves to help with everything.
Happy 9 months to you my sweet baby boy!

A late Happy New Years and few Seasonl activities

Seriously how can it be 2010 already!?! My fingers have a hard time even typing that, it is so trained to hitting two 0's. 10 years ago I remember babysitting like 15 kids on New Years Eve for my darling friend I use to help with her daycare and preschool. She was having a party at her house and had me watch all the kids. I remember her calling me like 3 months in advance to snatch me. I was a sophomore in High School and was yet to be introduced to a flat iron which equals very sad and ugly days for me LOL!

Who would have ever thought 10 years later I would have been married for over 5 years, have 2 kids. Well this year we were invited by my brother Dougs's and sister in law Wendy's house for a New Years Eve Party! We watched movies, ate yummy snacks and had good conversation. Sadie's favorite thing for the night (and I think mine too because it was so fun watching her excitement) was when we went hot tubing outside.
Do you love how she is trying to be cool like her cousin Samuel trying to make fun hand signs :)
Earlier that night some of us were eating the best Popsicle's EVER! My cute sister Joy was holding Mr. Jaden and decided she would try and sneak him a lick, little did she know how good of a grip that boy has as he snatched it right out of her hands and REFUSED to give it back to her :)
Oh he was in heaven!
Miss Sadie ended up taking over mine and decided to be the coolest kid on the block and share with all of her little cousins (Dawson & Brayden). They were following her around like a lost little puppy. LOVE THEM!
I was cheap this year and decided not to buy a gingerbread house to make even though we had SO MUCH fun last year making them. Well after Christmas they were super cheap at Costco so I thought what the heck and caved in and bought one.

Sadie and Jaden waiting patiently for me to get it all out. Sadie had organized all the treats in separate bowls.
This girls impresses me on the things she picks up so fast.



TA DA.... The beautiful finished project done mostly by Miss Sadie. Way to go!
Sadie thought it was so funny to pretend to eat it.
And to finish off the year we had a fun time sledding with some of our friends. Sadie didn't really enjoy the sledding part pretty much like last year. But was a huge fan pushing Travis down the hill. She also refused to wear her snow pants but oh well, good thing it really wasn't that cold and a good thing she really didn't even get in the snow.
Jaden on the other hand was a great sport the whole time going down the hill. Good thing he didn't really know any different.
A couple of the cute kids she went sledding with. Thanks again for inviting us!
