Honesty

This was Sadie's always honest comment from a few days ago.

"I'm nice, so Santa will bring me presents,........but I'm a little bit mean too."

She must have felt guilty saying she was nice, becasue her time-out for pushing her cousin was still fresh in her memory :)

Update on Sadie






I had these done for Sadie's favorite Aunt Cami Jo for Christmas.



So for journaling purposes- here's what's new with Sadie- (Christmas and winter pics coming soon!)

At her 3 year old wellness check-up we found that she is in the 30% for height, and the 80% for weight. Think about that for a minute, and yes, she is a little on the chubby side compared to other kids her age. The doctor kindly used the words "disproportionate", and that she will eventually even out, but that she will probably be on the shorter side. (we of course, think she's perfect!)
Her favorite colors are purple, and pink. She's very into princesses right now- her favorite is Belle, from Beauty and the Beast. She tells me that the beast was not nice, but now he is, and he turns into a prince, and kissed Belle. Sadie giggles anytime a princess is kissed in a movie. She also really likes Snow White. Of all the Disney princess movies, it surprises me that this is one of her favorites- this movie was made 60 years ago, can it really be that entertaining for that old of a movie? (YES!).

She finally has a hair style! How exciting is that?! She loves for me to do her hair. The daycare that she goes to does the cutest hairdos- so I get all my ideas from them. Sadie still loves her daycare, and going to grandma's house while I'm at work. If fact, on Thursday nights I tell her, "you get to stay and play with mommy all day tomorrow", and she simply says, "no, I want to go to Sandy's and Grandma's". You would think that this would make me feel bad, and it does a little, but I'm mostly glad, and feel better knowing that she's loved, taken care of, and has fun when I'm not there. I would feel very guilty and sad if I had to take her to daycare kicking and screaming.

She remembers everything! Really, she blows me away everyday with the stuff that she says and can remember.

She loves to sing and tell stories, but only at home. She gets really quiet around people she doesn't know very well, but once she warms up to someone, watch out- she won't stop talking!

She loves her gymnastics class and likes to show us her "tricks".

She loves to get dressed by herself, and when she wears the beautiful dress that Grandma bought her, Sadie will say her name is "Sadie Taylor Swift". Sadie can even recognize Taylor Swift's voice on the radio, even if she hasn't heard the song before.
She does NOT like chocolate. (weird.) Instead she prefers crackers and fruit snakes as a tasty treat.

Sadie is becoming more and more helpful at home, and is a really good girl.

If I could describe Sadie in 4 words it would be girly, girl, girly, girl. She is way into hair, clothes, makeup, sparkles, and princesses. Really....she's more of a girl than I am, and she's only 3!

We love Sadie so much! She makes us smile and laugh every day, and I love kissing her chubby cheeks!

Hawaii

Our trip to Hawaii was wonderful!

Our resort- The Fairmont Orchid in Kona

In between snorkeling and hanging out on the beach and by the pool, we went on a helicopter ride to see the valleys and waterfalls.

We also rented a Harley for one day, and drove around the island.

Hunting Pheasants




Happy Birthday Sadie

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Sadie Monkey


Drew has wanted Sadie to be a monkey for Halloween since the day she was born, so I finally gave in this year and bought a monkey costume. I'm very glad I did, because she looks adorable! She was even jumping around in circles, and looked like a real monkey. I've never laughed so hard!
