Day 192

Finally a day at home to catch up on laundry and do some cleaning.

Day 191

Lunch on the patio just sipping her oreo milkshake. I am not sure it gets much better than this. A perfect weekend away in Montana, and Nana & Papa came out too. "Papa always gives me licorice" -Sadie

day 189

Just starting out the road trip to Montana and Hannah as usual gives smiles and giggles so so easily. I still get a real kick out of her mess of teeth.

day 183

We did it, 2Km race. Me and these 3 little girls ran the Raymond 2 k race. It was honestly so fun, they were so excited and cute about the whole thing. It was the perfect race for me too!

day 140

When these 2 get together they can be the best of buddies. I just hope they are always good friends, cause how cute are they. I feel like James is like her caring, sweet older brother, but he is such a good friend to play with too. Here they are watching a baseball practice and Sadie for some reason can't keep her sports straight, while James knows way too much for a 4 year old.

day 138

Thank goodness for Grampa Steed. He is so happy to entertain and play with my kids. This weeks been a blur for me so I am grateful for the extra love my kids got from Granparents, cousins, and aunt Lindsay. Of course my kids don't even notice.

day 102

Not a great picture, but can you believe it, it was so sunny she had to keep squinting her eyes from the sun. Ryan & I both agree she just got big like, she is ready to be 1, not a baby anymore.

day 101

Oh no big deal, just outside with no coat and flip flops. I am so happy for days like this where I am like oh where did the day go? oh we were outside playing all afternoon.

day 100

Spent the afternoon snuggling with Hannah on my chest sweetest thing ever. Almost one year olds don't do that, unless they are so terribly weak and sick. Wish I had a picture, and Ryan was even home, but he was too busy watching the Masters and it was intense.

day 99

Carrie & I took the girls to Aggie days. So many farm animals to see and smell. Cute chicks, stinky pigs, goats, sheep, cows, horses, and lots of fun stuff to see and do.

day 98

Friday night pizza night. Can't go wrong, Sadie loves to climb up and help out to make the pizzas. After this picture, I promise to make a renewed effort on making her hair look decent (for the record we did not leave the house today, but we did have friends over, so at least it was on our turf)

day 97

At the end of a day, how good does this look? Yum like my 2 favorite treats. Only avaliable in the states, this is both good and bad. I just try to savor my cherry pepsi, and hide them from Ryan, he totally doesn't appreciate them enough.

day 96

Mom and Hannah. Hannah & mom. We sooo go together right now. In a good way - she loves me like no other, and a not so always convenient way - can cry and scream when I need to walk away.

day 91

On our way to Eureka, MT. First stop Nanton Candy Store. I am sure they stay open late on Friday night for people like us. Sadie & Dad loved it.

day 95

I do love when kids learn independence. I can't deny her when she wants to make her own sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter, butter, jam she couldn't have been more proud of herself.

day 94

A great day for a walk outside, no jackets and of course Sadie needs her sunglasses.

day 93

Spring Snowstorm?? Trip home had to stop and see the biggest truck in the world. "It's humongeous" -Sadie

day 92

This picture is brutal, but it is the better of Tom. These 2 girls love Tom and I am pretty sure he thinks they are pretty cute too. For the weekend the answered to stringbean and peanut.

day 90

We splashed through puddles and pushed our way through snow just to see this happy little face on the swings. Hannah just loves swinging on the swings at the park.

day 89

I believe this was the night of a 101 bedtime staulls. It ended with "Mom, I'm hot"

me: "fine take your pyjamas off" A few others were mom, there is not enough room in my bed, I'm falling in the crack, need a drink, need something else, I NEED a stuffie,

day 88

Another day at the park. I love how the wardrobe changes with the slightly delayed spring. gumboots, hoodie, and mitts.

day 87

Totally caught her staying up and "colouring" in her scriptures.

day 86

Sadie LOVES to write Hannah's name more than her own. She still writes hers, but I am always seeing H's on paper, and if I help her write Sadie on a paper, she quickly adds now Hannah's name.

day 85

we are all a little sick of being inside, so sure why not a little picnic outside on the front steps.

day 84

Decided to make the most delicious breakfast. Homemade waffles and coconut syrup, I LOVE this stuff.

day 83

"no mom no pictures" and this is all I got today, my two little lovelies all bundled up in the stroller.

day 82

Sadie's last day of gymnastics. She has totally loved it. She would still get a little nervous jumping into the foam pit, but still loved all of it. Including the stamps they got every week, as well water break at the fountains was another highlight. She liked jumping, climbing, running, hanging, and somersaulting too.

day 81

Hannah napping. She fell asleep in her carseat & I am too afraid to disrupt the sleep so I lugg her upstairs and let her finish her nap in her room.

day 80

Just can't wait for hot summer days outside... mini pool party inside!

day 79

Sadie & the double hug. A night away at Nana's & Papa's. It's a good thing she missed Hannah other wise I don't think she would've wanted to come home. Her reaction to see Hannah was pure excitement and the hyperness did not fade all night long.

day 78

Good bye Grandma B and Grandpa. Higlights from the visit: babysitting, playing outside, ipad stories, green breakfast, sneaking down and staying up late.

day 77

Went to the temple, and Dad took some darling pics of the girls.

day 76

A GREEN St. Patricks Day at Grandma B's. It all started with green milk, then green waffles, and finished with a whole lot of green cupcakes.

day 75

Baby video monitor. Hannah wakes up, Sadie cannot just let her sit and do baby talk in her crib for even a minute, she is up there in the crib jumping, singing, and talking to her.

day 74

day 73

Drawing some chalk people on the nice sunny day.

day 72

"Mom one more taste to see if it's good" Sadie age 3 chocaholic

"mom I'm right, I'm smart" Sadie know it all age 3

day 71

spoiled... I was totally spoiled on my birthday.

breakfast with friends, dinner & movie with Ryan, visit and what not from Linds, breakfast with Linds, party with friends, phone calls from family and more friends and messages and what a great day!

break

day 70

Happy Birthday to me.

day 69

It was above 0 degrees today. Yipee. I asked the kids if they wanted to go outside to play, and they all ran to get ready. Goodbye winter...maybe?

day 68

Sadie's gymnastics use to be quite relaxing, but with this girl on the move and not wanting to sit still for long, it feels quite busy now.

day 68

How exciting, we got to meet the real Cat in the Hat. Sadie & Ryan love Dr. Seuss.

day 67

Lunch break with Alivia. They played all day together, even though Sadie is only 3 and Livi is 4. ha

day 66

I think what Hannah is saying is somebody please lower my crib before I fall out and really cry

day 65

Bath time. I love it, I can't wait for it to end. Of course bathing 2 kids together is the smart thing to do, more effecient right. It is contained fun, which is nice at the end of the day. But I really have to watch these 2. Sometimes as soon as Hannah gets in she is trying to get out, she doesn't really want out, but she wants to stand and reach and grab everything. Then of course Sadie can be demanding of her own space, or too much in Hannah's. But, at least I have 2 girls so I can and will bath them together.

day 64

5 mins to myself, and probably 5 mins to clean up. must have been worth it today. I really think I have a picture of Sadie very similar to this

day 63

Nana came up for a visit and of course she brought some yummy cupcakes to share. Sadie couldn't have been happier. We had a fun weekend & I hardly took a picture of anything. Nana reading stories, going to the movies, and eating out. Nana said next time Sadie needs to come to her house. The next morning Sadie woke up what "what day is it, what day is it? Is it next day?" She really wanted to go to Nana's.

day 62

Guilty. Sometimes Sadie gets to watch Strawberry Shortcake on the computer while I make supper. She can choose some clips herself, but you really got to stay close by some crazy things can come up on youtube.
