Christmas Morning 2013

Sadie was really good this year so we woke up to see that Santa had come to our house! 





Santa even wrote Merry Christmas to our sweet girl!
He (Tyler) was very creative with his letters ;)

Pretty sure this ended up being the favorite gift of all!






I actually had to wake the sleeping beauty up to let her know we had had a visitor during the night.  She was a little unsure when she walked into the living room.  Please excuse my morning beauty..







Silly girl

 Then she finally starting digging in! Especially the slide. I have heard "slide down slide down" no less that 1,000 times since Christmas morning.








Even Mickey and Minnie had to slide down

BOO MAMA!!

Of course you have to take a family picture on Christmas morning, so here we are in all of our gloriousness....

Christmas Eve 2013

Christmas Eve started off the same as every other year since I can remember...getting up before the sun is up to get ready to go to my grandparents house! We have always had this Christmas early because at one point some of the family had to be at work...meaning we had it at 5:30am...those days have changed at we now have it at 7:00.  My moms side of the family is very large so it takes time.


tooo early for family pics

my big helper!

Sadie loves her Nessy

Mickey and Minnie are her current favorites

tearing into presents!





We headed home after breakfast to rest and hang around the house.  Christmas Eve we have the Turner family Christmas.  Dinner was delicious as always and we had a great time visiting with everyone.

After a wild night we headed home to snuggle up in our beds so Santa could come!

Thanksgiving 2013

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! Time is passing way too quickly for my liking. Anywho, on Thanksgiving day we had lunch at my parent's house with her side of the family.  All 22 (maybe 24??) of us! We are growing every year with people getting married and having babies.  The more the merrier!

Our sweet turkeys!




Thanksgiving night we went to my dad's parent's house to eat some more and watch that dreaded football game. Dinner was delicious...the game..not so much.  I am a proud Rebel all day, but I guess that night just wasn't our night to win.  Everyone has bad days and this was ours.  Oh well, time to go bowling! Hotty Toddy!

Our little bulldog and little rebel!



Friday we ate lunch at Tyler's parents house with his family and visited.  Lots of delicious food was eaten and we are tired!
We are so blessed to have such great and loving families! Our cup runneth over! We hope everyone had as wonderful of a Thanksgiving as we did.

Halloween 2013

This year for Halloween Sadie went as a kitty cat.  She loves cats so I thought it was appropriate.  She says "meoww" all the time!
The weather wasn't too great so we hopped around to our family's houses and trick or treated then headed home.  She tolerated her costume great and it was lots of fun!
Our sweet meow

19 Months

On October 1st our little Sadie Lea was 19 months old.  Every day she says and does things that amaze me.  Her vocabulary has quadrupled over the past month or so.  It's unbelievable! She is such a sponge.  She mimics so much that I do.  I love watching her brain tick.

At her 18m check up she weighed 21lbs 19oz and was 32 in long. 
She is wearing size 18m clothes and a FEW (very few) 24m/2T.
Her eating has not gotten any better.  No more likes/dislikes to add since the 16m update.
Still only strawberry milk and water to drink although I have given her tea and lemonade a few times.
These are the words (hopefully I can remember most of them) that she says clearly and understands their meaning:
Mommy, Daddy, Mimi (my mom), Poppy (my dad), Dede (Tylers mom), Ziza (Eliza), Chip(my brother), Nessa (Vanessa), Boo Boo (my dog Buster), Dixie (Tylers parents dog), Meow, dog, cat, horse, milk, NO (and says it often), outside, eat, truck, airplane, water, duck(s), quack quack, bye, bye bye, ride, golf cart, grass, bed, night night, cereal, sausage, cheese, blocks, baby, paci, blankie, berries....I know there are more but I have listed as many as I can think of...
She says pretty much anything you ask her to so the list literally grows daily 
Her current favorite things to do are: RUN, run...and run away from us!:), ride in the golf cart, read books, feed the ducks, anything outside, play with baby dolls, jump off the couch into my arms (still not sure why I started this wonderful event)
Nap/Sleep Schedule- Still 2 naps a day varying from 45min to 1.5 hrs at a time.  Normally goes to bed between 7:30-8 and wakes up around 6:30.  Here lately I have been having to wake her up to leave for work. PTL! Lets hope this trend continues.
She has all of her teeth but her 2 year molars.


I think God every night for such a sweet, smart and HEALTHY baby girl. 
We love you Sadie:)

First Day of Toddler Preschool at FUMC

Sadie started toddler preschool at FUMC today! Such a big girl.  She is in the 18-24 month room.  Her teachers are Ms. Tina and Ms. Martha.  We have heard great things about them and are super excited for her to be in there.  I was able to go late into work to take her.  That made this working mommy super happy:)  We had grilled cheeses together, played a little then got ready for "school"!
Of course we had to have a photo shoot before we went....
















Thats about as good as it is going to get, getting an 18 month old to hold a sign while trying to get a good picture.  I think they are pretty sweet though:)

Once we got there she was a little unsure at first but then wanted down to play.  She roamed around for a minute then started to play...  






 I tried to sneak out but once she noticed me leaving she cut out running and crying for me.  I had to hand her over to Ms. Martha and leave.  I stayed outside the door for a moment just to check.  I peeked back in and she was fine, so that made me feel better.

All of her notes said she had a great day! Ate well, played well and believe it or not, napped well! We will take it! 
Heres to a great year of toddler preschool! :)
