Preschool Performance

Sadie had her preschool performance on Tuesday. The kids sang Christmas songs and recited poems. At the end of the performance a surprise visitor came, Santa.

When Santa called out her name she went right up there and him that she wanted a doll house with barbies.

Random Pictures.......

Savanna playing with Sadie.
We had Makenna (from our ward) come over and play. They played so good together. They didn't fight over toys once. It was nice to have somebody entertain Sadie. Sadie is styling Makenna's hair in the picture. She put the blanket around her like they do at the salon. Thought it was funny.

Doing one of her silly poses.

Savanna helping me clean out the fridge.

Helping me empty the dish washer.

She is quite the little helper.

Family Night!

On Monday night we went and saw the Zoolight. We have never gone before and thought that this would be a good family home evening activity. The kids enjoyed them. We didn't get to see any of the animals though, they were all asleep. Sadie wanted to come back to see them when they were awake.

Sadie wanted a picture in front of all of the lighted animals.
Here is one of them.

Here is Savanna-she would dance to the music. It was fun to watch her. She does it everytime she hears some kind of music.

Of course, we couldn't leave without taking a ride on the carousal.

Savanna started crying when we got off. She wanted to ride it again.

The past couple of weeks we have done activities like this. Last Monday we went to see the lights at the Temple. We have gone every year since we have lived in the valley. Sadie liked the Nativity scene there and wanted to hold baby Jesus. At the visitors center they had alot of different Nativity scenes from different countries. Very interesting.

This is my favorite time of year. It helps me think more about Christ and why we really celebrate Christmas. I also like spending more time with family.

Savanna 1 Year Pictures

I got Savanna's pictures done last Friday. She did okay. No screaming, just wouldn't stay still. Of course a few hours before getting them done she falls on a toy and gets a scratch under her eye that kind of looks like a black eye. Oh well I guess she's one, right.

Look Alike..................

Does Sadie look like her daddy or what?

I was going through pictures the other day and I came accross this one of Dale and his little brother. Dale and Sadie were both 2 years old when these pictures were taken. I can't believe how much they look alike.......eyes, smile are exactly the same.

HALLOWEEN!

Well, Halloween is officially over! We went to our ward party, which was a carnival last week. There were lots of games, prizes, and they even had cotton candy. It was fun. Sadie had a good time this year trick or treating. She got to go with her preschool class yesterday and she went again tonight with her cousin Porter. They had a good time. Little Fairies......

Here they are with Auntie Terri and Cousins Porter and Stela.

Happy Halloween!

Sadie's Dance Recital

Sadie had her dance recital last night. She has been so excited for it. I had to take her an hour before it started. Just before they started to dance they bring her to me and she was crying. She didn't want to do it. Right when all the kids were starting to dance, with a little convincing she decided she wanted to be apart of it. Once she got up there and started dancing she was fine.

Sadie the Rock Star!
Here she is with her group. They were called the rock stars.

Sadie with her friend Macee.

Here is Sadie's teacher. At the end she gave all the kids an award and a bag full of goodies.

Savanna turned 1

Savanna turned 1 on October 9th. She is starting to walk more on her own and is getting into everything. One of her favorites is the kitchen cupboard- oh well whatever keeps her entertained. She loves to play outside and go bye bye. Everytime I open the door she starts waving. Time has flown by, I can't believe she is already one.

Here she is opening her presents with alot of help from her older sister. She wasn't to sure what to do, but Sadie did.

Here is her cake. She ate the whole top layer. She loved it of course.

Family Pictures

A couple of weekends ago we got family pictures with my family. Its not often that we all get together, so this was a good time for us to get them done. These are a few of my favorites.

All the girls.

Jay and his sisters.



G'ma and G'pa with all of the grandkids.

Here we are in order.

Here is everybody. We are a big group and still growing.

Just a Little Late..........

I've been wanting to post these for awhile now. -Mostly for our family that lives so far away. Dale's parents came at the end of August, from Germany to spend a couple weeks here. We did a lot with them while they were here and one of the things we did was take the kids to the zoo. This was the first time that Dale's dad got to see little Savanna and the Second time he got to see Sadie. Well, the first for Sadie, since the last time he saw her was when she was 2 months old at her blessing. The girls had a fun time with them.

After we were done looking at all of the animals we went to pet some of the animals. Here is Sadie with Grandma petting the goats. Sadie wouldn't touch them. (Thats ok, I didn't either.)

The zoo has a splash park and the girls just loved it.

Savanna would just sit by this sprinkler and waited for the water to come up.

This was her expression everytime. She had a good time.

After they got out of there suits, they rode the carousal with G'ma and G'pa. And then they took them to get a little something at the souviner shop.

Dance Class.....

Sadie goes to dance every Wednesday. She loves going. She always comes home and shows me some of the moves she has learned. I can't wait until the recital to see what she has learned. Here are some pictures of her.

Here she is striking a pose.

Here is Sadie with her friends, Macee and Charlotte.

Silly Girls!

Sadie loves her baby sister so much. Sadie will play around Savanna all day while she just sits and watches her. Just about everyday when Savanna is napping, Sadie will keep telling me that it is time for her to wake up so she can play with her. I think she gets bored and wants somebody besides me to play with. Sadie acts like she is Savanna's mom sometimes. I will catch her changing her diaper while Savanna is just laying there stairing at her, (she never holds still for me). The other day Sadie had to push her in the umbrella stroller and she kept talking to Savanna in her baby voice.

Savanna kept trying to get in this until I finally put her in it. She was smooshed, but she loved it.


Sadie loves to pull Savanna around in the "dragon" (as Sadie will say it). Of course Savanna loves it just as much as Sadie does. She will always put her purse in there and they will go to the store, which will be the other room.
