Girl Talk

Tara's girls were having fun talking to each other. Emma would babble and then both Kenadi and Emma would start laughing! It was so cute! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

My Birthday Week

Flowers for my birthday! Yay! Good husband!Kenadi, Sadie, and Emma (the closest) all piled into Nick's parent's durango that we borrowed for the week.

Kenadi loved my sexy black boots I got for my birthday! Watch out Tara!

Nick got me sexy black boots. I love them!

Can you believe this is the only picture I got of Tara and I while she was here?!? She got me cranium which I am so excited to play! She is so awesome! Don't you absolutely love her cute new haircut? I love it!

Maddy and I (Nick's second cousin) have the same B-days! See those yummy cupcakes in front of us? Tara made them. They were chocolate with caramel frosting. Really really good.

Sadie sleeping with her horsey on my birthday. So sweet.

Kenadi holding Sadie. Sadie looks bigger than her! Kenadi was really cute with Sadie. She would play with her, hold her, talk to her, and tell her that she loved her.

Holiday and Random Pictures

Tara made this cute sleeper for Sadie a few months ago. She fits it perfectly now! We love it! Thanks sis!

Reid and his volcano.

I took my 14 year old sister Jenna to Claire's to get her ears pierced over Christmas. (She had them pierced at one time but they healed up.) She didn't even flinch! (They numb the ear before they pierce now! What's up with that! Back in my day, ear piercing was done all natural!)

My Mom. That says it all.

My 16 year old sister Kayla with Sadie.

Sadie taking a snooze. I love it when her arms go up like a zombie!

Curled up in a papasan chair at home in Washington over Christmas break.

My Mom crocheted all of us hats for Christmas! We all love them! She is so talented!

Nick and Sadie. She was blessed in the same dress I was blessed in when I was a baby.

A 94 year old woman knitted this blanket for Sadie. She has knitted a blanket for each new baby in our ward for years. In fact, this blanket is the last one she is going to do because of health problems. We sure love this blanket and it was a perfect blessing blanket. What an amazing woman!

Sadie was a little concerned about the bonnet we put on her.

Sadie sleeping on her Grandpa Terry.

And on her Grandpa Simonson. She is such a cuddle bug!

Thanksgiving weekend my mother-in-law put together an "Amazing Race" for all of us. We were split up into teams and had to solve clues and complete challenges to win. As you can tell, challenges were pretty creative!

Here's another challenge we did! We had to play our own rendition of "Happy Birthday" on recorders! It was fun!

Nick blowing out his birthday candles! Big 2-8 now!

I took the liberty of decorating his chair! Ha ha!

Sadie and her boyfriend Kevin. They briefly held hands and Kevin touched her bum a few times...Typical boy!
