Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!

I am so very lucky to be their Momma! 

Thank heaven for little miracles!  I don't know what my life would be like without them all!

Easter Pictures

Giving the twins some love.

Here I am in all my glory.  Ugh I'm huge but that's ok.  I'm 34 weeks pregnant with twins so I think it's allowed.  Right?!

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny left Sadie a giant caterpillar and a pink bunny basket filled with goodies.

Sadie and Daddy making sure all the eggs got picked up.

Sadie and her loot

Sadie with the eggs with her name Hettie's name and Gus aka Auggie's name (we didn't have enough letters to do Auggie just Gus.)

A New Tradition

Thanks to Pintrest we have a new Tradition in our house.  I found this idea here. The night before Easter we (Daddy and I) filled some plastic eggs with glow sticks and hid them for Miss Sadie to find.  She that this was the coolest thing ever.

Not the best picture but here is a picture of the glow in the dark Easter eggs.

Coloring Easter Eggs 2012

It seems that everything these days are getting left to the last minute.  Coloring our Easter eggs for tomorrow is no exception.

Here is Miss Sadie getting things set up with her Daddy. (Thank you to Kelley, a co-worker of Steve's, for the wonderful Easter Egg dye set. Otherwise it may not have gotten done.)

She is a pro at dying eggs...just ask her.

After a couple of eggs someone got bored and left the dying of the rest up to Daddy as Mommy couldn't reach the table.

After a quick change to put on a long sleeve shirt she was back at it with Daddy.

My beautiful girl!

Auggie and Henrietta were there in spirit.  They also made their presence known by kicking the table.

St. Patrick's Day

Thank goodness for the rain this morning.  I was running out of things that I could do to keep Miss Sadie entertained. So I bundled her up and sent her outside to play in the muddy puddles.

Miss Sadie LOVES puddles and the rain.  Luckily she didn't get too muddy. Clean up can be a pain and I can't bend over very well. haha.

After she got cleaned up and dressed I made her some warm comfort food for lunch but with a twist.  I put some green food coloring in the mac n cheese in honor of St. Patty's Day.

At first she wasn't too sure, but after I took a couple of bites she was game to try it.

CALM Lights

We met up with our friends the Fieldsted family at CALM to see the beautiful Christmas lights.  Sadie was so excited when we pulled into the parking lot.  There were so many lights she didn't know which way to look.

They had a carousel set up in the entrance of the zoo and Sadie LOVED it.  It wasn't your typical carousel it was a very fast moving carousel which added to the girls excitement.

I love this picture because it shows just what kind of relationship these girls have.  They truly are best friends and I love that.

We walked around the entire zoo and everything was decked out with lights.  It was amazing.  It is definitely a new family tradition...even though it was rather cold.

Here is Susie Q waiting in line with Emi for the train.

Nina and Sadie waiting anxiously for their turn on the train to see the lights.

The Fieldsted Family

Steve and I on the train.

Sadie on the train extremely excited to get going.

We stopped by the Chevron exhibit so we could get a picture.  You think they could get any further away from eachother?  haha.

Daddy's Stay-cation

Steve got to take some much deserved time off during the Holidays.  So he and Sadie started a project.  A routing table.  Sadie LOVED helping Steve.

Sadie even got to keep a spare piece of wood for her very own.

It was such beautiful weather that we spent most of our time outside helping or watching Daddy work.  Sadie practiced her scooter skills and also spent her time with her sidewalk chalk drawing pictures.  It was a great way to relax and spend time together as a family.

Christmas 2011

Christmas was nice and quiet this year.  Sadie's last being the only child.  It took forever to get through the presents because Sadie kept going back to her Santa gift...the doll house.

Sadie got lots of fun games, school workbooks and many more things including this cash register which she kept calling a "castrator" haha. 

She also got some tinker toys.  Steve made them into a guitar and microphone.  She had a blast pretending to be a rockstar.  She sang along with anything and everything.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day this year was very low key. We had softball on Saturday and then went for ice cream as a family. Steve made me the best bbq and got me a new portable hard drive for all my pictures. And Steve got a Dell Streak. Because without Daddy there would be no Mommy.

Easter Sunday

Can you believe how big she has gotten? I can't! I just love this picture. Looks like I planned it right?
My sweet angel

This was after Church so she was a little tired

Our Easter best.

Love my baby girl!

After Sadie had a nap we went outside to discover the Easter Bunny did come to our house.

She LOVED looking for all the eggs.

And LOVED opening all the plastic ones to see what was inside.

Here she is with her loot...oh and Strawberry Shortcake who helped.

After we were done inside we came in to find the Easter Bunny had left one more thing for us.

Yep...Introducing Baby Cupcake.

She has had a lot of fun with her new baby. Oh and the Easter Bunny didn't forget Mommy and Daddy. Mommy got Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One and Daddy got a gift card for his game. All in all a pretty nice and low key day.
