Water Fun (Idaho Style)

Flooding Grandpa's field is so much fun!

This little girl is probably already growing leg and armpit hair to protect her from the cold canal water! Or maybe it's because she has Oregon/Hippie blood in her...Hmmm...

Sexy Man=Half Marathon

Well, Nick did it! He ran his first half marathon last Saturday in Idaho Falls! I was so proud of him! He trained very hard and although he swears the race killed him, he did very well! I kinda abandoned him (we were supposed to run the race together but then I injured my knee and couldn't run 2 weeks before the race) so I felt really bad! I tried to make up for it by getting up early in the morning with Sadie and coming out to support him! Not to mention making Sadie a shirt that read, "RUN FAST DADDY" on it. He loved it! Sadie and I sure love him! He is the best Dad and Husband I could ever ask for!!! (Not to mention he got major points in my book for running a half marathon!) Love you honey!

Sewing is like Golfing

I've decided that sewing is like golfing: Most of the time it really sucks and you wonder why you decided to give it a try in the first place. And then sometimes you do things right and you say to yourself, "That wasn't so bad...I might try that again sometime." Yeah.

Summer Fun

Cool hair Sadester!

4th of July Cutie-Pie!

Enjoying the parade (and ice cream bar) with Grandma!

Sadie loves to hold her "diaper puff" after she's had her bum changed. Gross but stinkin' cute right?

Enjoying the sprinkler.

She liked it I swear.

Pulling the Tiger's tail at Tauphaus Zoo.

On the first day of summer you can balance an egg on its end. Cool huh!

Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman.

Taking a walk in Montana. Sadie loved feeling this dandelion. It was so cute! I love this girl!

Swimming in the pool next to our condo in Big Sky. The water was sooo warm! Sadie loved it!

Hiked to Ousel Falls. Beautiful!

On the hike.

My sweet family. Love these two!

Moose and calf.

These are the condos we stayed at right on the lake! It was so beautiful in Big Sky, Mt...We loved our stay!

My friend Steph had a birthday and...

I made this strawberry cake! This was the first ever from scratch cake that I had ever made! It was super moist and delicious too! I was so proud of myself!

It's FUN being ME!

Hi guys! My name is Sadie and I am almost 8 months old! I love hanging out with my Mom everyday! She is awesome! Anyways, what I really wanted to share with you guys is all the fun things I do these days! I take baths, take naps, play with my Dad, and have started to army crawl (to name a few). Check out the videos of me below just being my cute spunky self!

I love bath time in the kitchen sink!

I dream about sucking my binkie (or nursing)! Watch my lips come alive towards the end of this clip!

Daddy loves to throw me on the bed! I love it too! I'm not scared at all!

I like to army crawl and am getting better at it everyday! When I first started learning, I would sometimes get lazy and cheat just a little...Hey, I'm American! I want to eat and not exercise just like everybody else sometimes!

We are getting a HOUSE!!! Woo-Hoo!

We are in the process of closing right now...Takes at least 21 days we are told but I can't resist sharing the awesome news!!! We are so excited! Here is a picture of the house and some info. on it. It is located in Idaho Falls. I can't wait to have a backyard for Sadie to play in and to finally plant a garden! I also can't wait to have SPACE! I get kinda claustrophobic in our apartment! We have definitely been blessed! I will post inside pictures and a backyard picture hopefully sometime soon! :)

Random Happenings

I am going to make this decadent dessert on Mother's Day when we have dinner with Nick's family...Can't wait! It is amazing and very bad for you! That is why it is so good! Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle...need I say more? What else...I made strawberry freezer jam yesterday with my friend Jen! It turned out great and I feel so accomplished! I love the smell of fresh strawberries! What else...Sadie is 7 months old today! Her stats as of last week are wt: 25% ht: 12%. Just a little girl! She figured out how to roll from her back to her stomach a few days ago! It is fun to see her do it but also really annoying because she does this maneuver in her crib when I am putting her down for a nap and either a.) stops crying and plays with the crib bumper or b.) Cries and cries because she can't get back over and doesn't want to sleep like that! Silly girl!
