Creative Carolyn!

So my Aunt has been pretty creative in the past month. She made Sadie's birthday cake which was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and now she just made Courtney's graduation cake and it was beautiful! Check them out!

Mr. Cookes Birthday!

A few weeks ago we celebrated Mr. Cookes birthday! It was a nice day out by the pool. Everyone had a wonderful time and Mr. Cooke finally got to meet Dakota!

Sadie of Course!

Then there is Sadie of Course! She is continuing to grow and become sassier and sassier. We are quite often toughening up her behind!!!! She is fun though and also a great kid to have around. Here are a few pictures of her. One is her playing with her water ball that Jaxon gave her. The other is just a cute one with her new hat!

Dakota is growing more and more!

Dakota is continuing to grow more and more. We go on the 14th for his 4 month check up. We have seen a lot of changing the past week or two. He is talking a lot more ( in the video it looks like he is whining, but he is actually just talking and had been doing this for 30 straight minutes) and starting to play with a few toys! He is still a really good baby so far and I am very excited for that!

Phillips First Birthday!

Last Sunday, Phillip had his first birthday! He had it at Screamin Meme's, which was a building full of jumping things, playgroud equipment, and video games, and then none other than ELMO!!!!!!! Sadie loved meeting elmo even though he wouldn't sing her the elmo song, but he did jump with her in the blowup thing!

Sadie first!

I am of course behind in my blogging. Anyway, here is a quick update on Sadie. She went to her first dance recital this past month. One of my volleyball players gave us tickets to go. Sadie does love her up some Courtney! It was three in a half hours long and Sadie sat there in amazement the entire time. She absolutely loved it! She then came home and the next day got her dress up stuff out and said she wanted to be like Courtney when she grew up. It was so sweet! I guess dancing will be coming in the next couple of years. Its definitely at the top of her list of fun things to do!

Just a cute one!

This is just a cute picture that I took when we got home on Monday from school! We were all totally exhausted from a busy weekend! We were all actually watching "The Blindside" and we couldn't believe Sadie was into it! She even said, "Daddy, when we have water in our eyes we have to cry". It was too cute! Anyway, I thought this picture was adorable!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was very busy, but wonderful! We went to church with my mom and grandma at her church! We then went to Amanda's to eat lunch and that was very nice. Then the icecream bonanza began. Homemade icecream at Grandma Grace's and then we had more homemade ice cream and sandwiches at mom and dad's with mom's side of the family. It was wonderful spending time with all my family. I even played basketball again. I mean I can't let people rule the court that I created and owned for so many years! It was all a blast!

Sadie's 3rd Birthday!

Last week Sadie turned three years old! We had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday with nana, papa, and nannie on Friday (her b-day) and then we had her party on Saturday. She really enjoyed it all so very much and was exhausted when it was over. Her favorite gifts had to be Mickey Mouse Clubhouse from nana and papa and the pink soccer ball from nana and papa. She also loved the art easel that we got her and the bathtub barbie and dress up kit from Mike and Sarah! I have put some of her gifts away, so she don't even remember some of them and will enjoy them sometime in the near future! There just wasn't room for it all right now! I guess that's a good thing. Here are some pictures from the weekend. There is also a video of Sadie dancing to her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (make sure you recognize her ending pose). Enjoy!

Sadie and Dakota's Room

Many of you have asked how I changed Sadie's room from being so girly to some boyish for Dakota. They will be sharing a room sometime soon (if Dakota decides to sleep through the night). Anyway, here is what it looks like now! Let me know what you think or what you would add or change?
