Sadie's Nose

Sadie vs Dogs

Dogs Won!

We were outside playing on the swings and Sadie decided she needed to play with the dogs. Which at that moment in time the dogs were playing pretty hard with eachother. Before I could stop her I heard a THUD! She came up crying and covered in grass, dirt and blood.
I thought she broke her nose but upon examining her nose we discovered it wasn't broke. But is was bruised pretty good and sore.
I was pretty certain she was going to have two black eyes the next day but luckily enough she didn't...she just had two bruises on either side of her nose.

Poor baby!

Sadie's Hair Cut

It was that time again. Sadie's hair had grown out on top and made her hair very funky and challenging to style. So off to see our favorite hair dresser...Carianne.

I forgot to get an after picture so this one will have to do...it's just about a week later.

Hart Park with Baby Jude

I got a call yesterday for a family photo shoot out at Hart Park this coming weekend. So today I loaded up the kids and we drove out there so I could scope the area.

We played on the swings for a while...

I love this picture. I was actually behind them picking up trash so I wouldn't get any in my photos and they both looked back at me at the same time. I couldn't pass that up.

Our little baby Jude. Sadie just loves her little cousin.

Then we went by the pond to visit the ducks. Of course Sadie wanted to feed them but all I had were gold fish. So that's what they got. They didn't seem to mind.

It was a quiet, pleasant morning.

Potty Training Begins...

So the month of August we decided to start potty training. We've tried on and off for months but Sadie never really fully understood. But as soon as we got back from Utah her whole attitude changed. So here are a few of our most memorable moments. Needless to say we haven't gone out or done much this month so we could stay close to home. It's worked out great and she is doing wonderfully! (sorry these are all on my camera phone so the quality is as good)

Sadie's New Swing Set

I had a great opportunity to photography a wedding on the 7th of August. While I was at the wedding Steve and Sadie went to Walmart to look at the swing sets. We had been thinking of getting Sadie one since she had so much fun at her cousin's house. We had a reasonable budget and since I got this job with the wedding we decided now was the time. When I called Steve to check in he told me he found one for a little more than what we had budgeted, but it was 50% off. This is what I discovered late Saturday night when I got home...

On Sunday, Steve went to work. Well actually everyone got involved...

This was midway through the day. We still have a ways to go...

But by Monday evening this was the final result...

Sadie was so very happy!

We are still working on going down the slide. She's still not to sure about slides.

Love this girl!! This was the whole reason we got her the slide...
