Congrats Drew!

Drew completed his second sprint triathlon yesterday in Orem. Congratulations honey!

This was part of his rigorous training....with Sadie as his coach! But really, Drew spent a lot of hours training daily for this race. We're so proud of him!

Naming Baby doll

Sadie has a doll at my mom's house that she loves to play with, and up until now its always been called "baby". But Sadie has recently learned to answer "what's your name, her name, my name, etc.", so the other day we ask Sadie what the baby's (doll) name is....I thought she would say Tessa or Kinsey, (her two baby cousins), but instead she says her baby doll's name is "Teisha", and she still continues to call her baby doll Teisha. She says my name as plain as day, and she knows that's my name, even though she calls me mommy most of the time. At first I think this is really cute, and then I think about and wonder if this is the first sign of insubordination? If so, we've got a long road ahead :)

Too much Pizza

You know you order way too much pizza delivery when the door bell rings and your 21 month old baby says "Pizza!! Pizza!!", when we didn't order pizza that night. Maybe it's time to cut back.

Girls will be girls

Sadie got this baby doll for Christmas and she has now suddenly become fascinated with it. She has to comb its hair and brush its teeth. She even likes to try and put ribbons in the baby's hair. It's so funny to me how she's fit into the role of "girl". (I didn't tell her to do the baby doll's hair.) Also, Sadie loves to have her hair done. She practically begs me in the mornings to do her hair. She also loves purses. She has a couple of her own that she likes to carry around and put things in...she's also obsessed with my purse....wanting to hold it and put it on her shoulder. She also has a shoe obsession! No joke! She lOVES shoes....even more than myself. She has to have them on her feet and she gets all gitty when we are at the store trying them on. In fact, the only time she throws a fit when we are at the store, is when we walk by the shoes and I don't try them on her. So it's now our routine to stop by the shoe section and try on a few. This has entertainment value for me too, because when she tries the shoes on she giggles with excitement. (Luckily we don't have to buy the shoes....right now she's content to just try them on). She also loves the word "pretty" and "cute", and most of the time when she says them she's referring to herself....her cute bow, bracelet, necklace (that she steals from me), dress, hair, and of course her shoes. She loves to show daddy how cute all of these things are on herself. I tried to get her to play with a couple of her cousin's toy trucks, thinking she might like something new, but she wanted nothing to do with the trucks. Girls are just wired to be girls and boys are wired to be boys. (most of the time)
