Puerto Rico

Drew and I went to Puerto Rico the first week in November. Basically, all the sales reps from his company and their wives go, along with their clients that purchased enough products throughout the year to "qualify" for the trip. Drew's also a manger, so that's why we went on both trips this year. We stayed at the Rio Mar Resort. It was amazing- we basically hung out at the beach and by the pool all day.

You can't really see me, but you can get a good idea of what the resort looks like.

Drew is sneaking up on the iguana. There were a few of these things that hung out at the resort. At one point this thing decided to jump in the pool for a cool swim, and all the kids started screaming like it was a crocodile or something. It was hilarious.

Hope you can see us. We kind of blend in with the white sand :)

One of the nights (on my Birthday), we went to something called the Bioluminescent Bay. There is a microorganism in the lagoon that causes the water to glow when you touch it. It was so cool! We had to kayak up a canal to get to the lagoon in the dark. It was kind of creepy, but so worth it!

Sadie's 2nd Birthday

Sadie turned 2 on November 1, so we celebrated with a party.

My friend Jenn, helped me make this Elmo cake. (okay, Jenn did most of the work, but I was very supportive.) It turned out so cute! Sadie is obsessed with Elmo, so she loved it.

Sadie loves to "cook", so we got her this mini kitchen.

My mom gave her this little rocking chair. It was made by the Amish

Sadie had to walk around the room and show everyone her new clothes.

Her first gun! Yikes!

At Sadie's 2 year old appointment she was in the 75% for height and head circumference, and her weight in the 50%, so she's still pretty average- (except that she has very little hair!)

Favorite things to eat: Elmo crackers, fruit snacks, peas, pancakes, beans, chicken, and her most favorite- Mac N Cheese. (anytime I ask her what she wants to eat, her response is always Mac N Cheese.)

Favorite songs to sing: ABCs (she can sing this all by herself and is very clear), ittsy bittsy spider, twinkle twinkle little star, and jingle bells. Sadie loves to sing. She even tries to sing with the congregation at church.

Favorite things to play: cook, peak a boo, and dolls. She has a doll bed, and most of the time Sadie will say the doll is sleeping, but sometimes Sadie will put the doll in the bed and say "time out".

She knows her colors and learns new words everyday. She's very curious and observant. She now points at things and asks "what's that?" The crazy thing is that she always remembers, so she never asks me about the same thing twice.

Potty training is not going so well. You would think a child that knows the ABCs can also go to the potty, but she's pretty insistent on not using it.

She is so much fun to be around, and always surprises me with the things she learns. She is always putting a smile on my face. We are so blessed to have her in our home!
