Vacation

Sadie had her first family vacation last week. We went with the Barbour's the Myrtle Beach. It was a lot of fun. We did lot's of shopping, pool fun, and eating. It was nice spending time with family. Grandma couldn't come, so we missed her a lot. That was the only thing missing that would make it a perfect vacation. We left on Friday and traveled down to Atlantic Beach to spend some time with the Johnston's. They surprised us by bringing our nephew Jacob. It was so neat seeing Sadie and Jacob interact. He loves her so very much! We also had lot's of fun there and really enjoyed our beach time. We look forward to many more family vacations! I attached some pictures that were captured during our vacation week! Enjoy!

Three months old!

Wow, it's hard to believe that our little Sadie is 3 months old! We have seen lot's of changes this month. Our favorite has to be when she laughs out loud. It is great! She is a very happy baby and we see how blessed we are as we interact with her daily! Our friend Rachel Henderson gave her a photo shoot for her 3 month photos! I have attached most of the cute ones......of course we think all of them are cute!

Busy in July

July has been one very busy month. We are seeing Sadie change so much every week. She is a lot of fun and we love her so very much. She attended her first wedding. Beth Cummings got married and Sadie did great at the wedding! We also had a visit from our good friends Rachel and Brian Henderson and their little girl, Abby. It was a lot of fun having them over to spend time with and catch up. It was also neat to see Sadie and Abby interact. We look forward to seeing them as they grow up together! We've attached a few pictures from these two events as well as some random pictures during July! Enjoy, and we would love to hear how all of you are doing!

Happy Birthday America!

We had a blast at the annual 4th of July cookout at the Cokers. We had pig and lot's of goodies to go with it. The fellowship was awesome and the fireworks were quite eventful! Sadie did great. She loved the fireworks. She just stared at them in the sky and there were NO tears! Hopefully it will stay that way as she begins to get older! We look forward to next years excitement at the Cokers!! Here are a few pictures from our eventful evening.

2 months old!

It's hard to believe that Sadie is 2 months old. Monday she had her 2 month check-up and she was very healthy. She's getting a little on the pudgy side, but we love it. She is also beginning to learn new things. She is trying sooooooooooo hard to talk and it is hilarious to watch. Little sounds come out and it is super cute. She is also learning how to throw a fit (also known as a temper), when she has to be burped or has to go to sleep. All-in-all, she is still our pride and joy. JJ and I are learning how to best raise her in a Godly home. It's a challenge at times, because you want to give in to her cute attitudes and actions. We continue to remind ourselves that she is a gift from God that we are so richly blessed with. Here are a few pictures from the past month!

Father's day!

This year was JJ's first Father's Day. We spent sometime with his dad at the beach and then we spent some time with Shelley's dad on Sunday. We went to church with Roger and then Grandma cooked a really big lunch. JJ got a bocce ball set for Father's day and he loved it! Here are a few pictures from Father's day!

First trip to the beach!

Last weekend we went to Grandma and Grandpa Johnston's beach house. This was Sadie's first trip to the beach and we had a very enjoyable time. We're looking forward to many more trips with the Johnston's! Here are some cool pics from the trip!

First trip to the pool!

When Sadie was four weeks old, we took her to the pool for the first time. We went to the pool at ECU and the Radez's went with us. It was a nice relaxing time, but Sadie definitely thought the water was a bit cold. Over-all, she did great! We look forward to many more times of fun in the water!

Bumbo seats rock!!!!!!!!!!

The bumbo seat is used when babies can hold there head up. It's recommended at age 3 months to 18 months. Last night we thought we would try Sadie in it since her neck seems to be strengthening up. She did a great job and we can't wait until she can use it more. The pictures were pretty funny!

First Playgroup!

Today we attended Sadie's first Playgroup. We went to the park and took lot's of pictures. Playgroup is every Thursday and it includes a lot of women in the church that we attend. There are lot's of people having babies, so Sadie should have no problem finding friends. Check out some of the pictures from today!
