Fall, Halloween, and Sadie's Birthday

We went to St. George for a weekend and saw The Little Mermaid. Sadie loved it. She didn't move an inch the entire time, and sang along with most of the songs. Ariel is her favorite princess right now. We also did some hiking in Snow Canyon and just had fun being with family! Here's Grandpa Smith telling Sadie how to feed the ducks.

Sadie Also had a really fun time riding her scooter..

One of Sadie's favorite movies right now is the Wizard of Oz (I thought it was kind of creepy when I was little, but she loves it), so that's why Sadie chose to be Dorothy for Halloween. We went to 4 Halloween parties in October including the Ward Halloween Party which we (the Primary Presidency) were in charge of. Sadie went to two more Halloween parties- one at her daycare and the other at preschool. We definitely celebrated Halloween this year! At least Sadie got good use out of her costume.

She loved playing in the pumpkin guts more than carving her pumpkin! 

Sadie's 4th Birthday! 

Notice the 4 fingers on each hand!

Sadie was the princess and special helper at school on her Birthday.

Drew and I took Sadie bowling.

Sadie was very happy to get a Taylor Swift DVD. Sadie can sing just about every Taylor Swift song! 

We needed to move Sadie out of the nursery before the baby gets here, and figured her Birthday would be a good time to give her a "new room", so about two weeks before her Birthday, we had her new room painted and then Drew and I worked on having it all ready for her Birthday. We kept the door locked all the time, so she had no idea. She was very surprised and I love how it turned out! 

Sadie loves helping Daddy, and I love it when Daddy lets Sadie help him! 

Of course work is no fun without a little play! 

It's a BOY!

A beautiful bouncing baby boy is coming to the Wilson home on February 25, 2012!

....now what to do with all the boxes full of pink clothes that I've been storing for the last four years??

Sadie Sings and makes an announcement!

This video is Sadie singing two of her favorite songs along with some spectacular dance moves! She also makes a surprise announcement at the end of the video!

P.S. I took this video on a Saturday, so please ignore the messy hair, and mismatched clothes that Sadie has on. :)

The Fuzzy Stuff

Drew was recruited for a new job in the same industry that he is currently working in, but with a different company, Shaw Industries, as a distribution sales rep. He made a switch in product- he was selling hard surface flooring and now it's the fuzzy stuff (carpet). It's a good career move for Drew with a reputable company, and better for our family with less overnight travel, lighter workload, and better salary. The only two negatives about him leaving his previous company are 1) no more awesome and amazing trips, (i.e. no more Australia, Europe, or exclusive resorts) however, we may get to sneak in a Hawaii trip every once in a while with his new company, and 2) we will miss his co-workers. We developed lots of friendships with amazing people that we will truly miss! We are feeling very blessed and grateful for this opportunity, and are looking forward to this new experience! Thanks Drew, for being a wonderful husband, hard worker and supporting our family! and......What's a post without pictures? So here's a new family pic!

All the cousins made these t-shirts at the cabin!

Cabin pics

We spent a couple days at the cabin for Memorial Day weekend. Sadie had a blast with her cousins!

Gymnastics

Here's some pics from Sadie's gymnastics meet today...

Ironman

We went to St. George a few weeks ago to watch Drew's cousin, Keb compete in the Ironman. It was a great experience, and very inspiring. Keb has the perfect excuse for not exercising, and yet he pushed himself to do the Ironman. There was a story written about him in the Daily Herald. Here's the link-
