I am a big girl now!

For the last couple of months Sadie absolutely refuses to sleep in her crib. At the beginning we would put her in her crib and she would just climb out...she never actually came out of the room but we would find her asleep on the chair or randomly on the floor and would try to put her back in her bed but would come back in the morning and she would be back on the floor asleep. So we decided to make her a pallet on the floor until we could find her a bed. It is so sad...I love my nursery and I am not ready for my barely 2-year-old to be big enough to get into a bed but apparently she is.....In addition she has pretty much potty trained herself in the last couple months. It started off with her constantly taking off her clothes and being naked and then she started telling me "pee pee". Wow...I am so not ready for this. Over the last month she has pretty much potty trained her self and now we fully potty trained at the age of 2 years 3 months. Why is this so sad for me...You are amazing Sader B and we love you!

Wow...I am so behind on my blog. Here are some random pics of the girls!

Get-away

For mother's day weekend Ryan took me up the JW Marriott up in Scottsdale and it was so relaxing....we slept in, laid out by the pool, went out to dinner and even went country dancing one night....I know what you are thinking, dancing with all of our coordination but we used to be kind of good at it (shocking I know)! It was so fun! On Sunday Ryan went and picked up the kids and brought them up to the hotel to swim and hang out....I think this has to be a tradition, we went overnight somewhere last year for mother's day but the weekend was perfect...I am hooked, just what every mom needs on mother's day a break long enough to relax but not enough time to miss the chaos! No picutres from the weekend...I know again shocking, me forgetting my camera that never happens, hee hee

Swim lessons

Asleep in the car after swim lessons

Why is that whenever I want to take a picture all I have in my purse is my camera phone....so annoying. So of course these were the only two usable pictures that I took. Anyway Sadie is taking swim lessons from Mrs. Celeste and loving every minute of it...it is so funny to see that little body swiming around. If you ask her about swim lessons she says I am going to "kick, kick, kick"...she is so cute! She absolutely hates putting her face in the water, Celeste has to force her face in the water every time.

Gila Valley Temple

We had the opportunity today to drive up to Thatcher, Arizona and walk through the new LDS temple before it was dedicated. It was an amazing experience and so cool to walk though the different rooms and see the detail put into each and every temple...we are excited to go someday!

Mother/daughter activity

Tonight we had a mother daughter activity for activity days and it was so fun to spend time with Paige just the two of us. We had two great speakers the daughter talked to the moms and the mom talked to the girls, we ate dinner and made these super fun Barbie cakes, it was so fun and Paige's cake turned out so stinking cute....I think you made have found your calling in life!

Play-doh

Sweet headband...think she is on her way to workout, hee hee

After the kids left for school this morning Sadie was standing at the pantry yelling Play-doh over and over...I opened it up and got it from the top shelf (by kid 4 I have learned where to keep the messy stuff). I got it out on at the kitchen table....and she sat there for a good hour....I am pretty sure none of the rest of my kids ever did this, it was hysterical. She so excited. She was sporting a bright blue head band she found in Paige's bathroom that she put on herself. She is so independent at 2 and is still willing to let me take her picture....love you Sadie!
