Chrismas

Christmas this year was amazing. Sydney understands how to open presents. She does not really understand why she is getting them, but she loves that she does! We were blessed to have family come, from Missouri, and Colorado. It was so fun to see everyone. Sydney loved playing with her cousins. At times it would not seem like that....but she really did! We spent most of the holiday at the mabin. It was so fun just to relax, and be with family. On the Friday before Christmas, a few of us went to the Nativity Scene at Tuachon. It was FFFREAZING, but so worth it. The spirit that was felt was amazing. I cannot to be able to tell my children of our Savior's birth, and of the true meaning of Christmas! I told Jeff this year I did not want any presents. He always does such nice things for me. It was my turn to show him how much I care. I was able to earn money, and get him just what he wanted. The look on his face was more than I could have asked for. Sadie got a simple toy, but ended up being all of the kids favorite. I actually had to put it away, because it was wanted by everyone! She also got some fun baby treats, clothes, and books. I love Christmas. I know it is easy to get carried away, but I know also the importance of simplicity. I hope more than anything our Chritmas's are filled with Service, family, and love.

Sadie 7 Months

Sadie is the sweetest baby ever. Sure she has her hard moments, but she has been such a joy. Sadie has officially started on solid foods. She LOVES them. Sydney, would kinda spit food back out. Sadie on the other hand, devours it!! Once it gets past those cheeks, it is gone. She will eat about anything I give her. She loves her dad, and Sydney so much. Sadie has always been so aware, and continually amazes me with what she understands. Her one pet peeve is, being left alone. I think she has gotten so use to people being around, and when she is alone in a room she panics! Kinda cute, but at the same time hard. Sadie normally has a smile on her face. Even in the mornings, when she has just woken up. Her eyes will be half shut, but she will have the biggest grin on her face. If I take too long to feed her, she lets me know. She takes her food very seriously. This month was such a fun month. We were blessed to be surrounded to by family!

Sadie 6 Months

This is what I wake up to every morning. She will sit and goo at me. I love this precious little girl.
Sadie is such a joy. She is really good at sitting up. Sadie goes to bed at 8, and wakes up at 8:30-9. She loves people. Especially her mom, and I totally soak it up. Sydney was/is a total daddys girl. This was Sadies first thanksgiving, and I am so thankful for her!





We were at IN N OUT, and Sadie wanted to eat so bad! So I thought the safest bet would be lettuce. She loved it.
