Christmas Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the fun we had while Tanner's parents were here for Christmas. We took them to the Yuma Territorial Prison, the town of Felicity, CA (where the official "center of the world" is - its a weird place, another story for another time), we took walks with Sadie on Christmas morning and opened presents in the afternoon. Sadie was spoiled to the max, but what are grandparents for?!?

Sadie loved to walk all around the huge
gravel yard they had at the prison!

That's the church in the background. It's their town law that the
church has to be the highest point in the community.

Grandpa on Christmas morning.

When we take walks, Sadie always has to stop and play with
the mailboxes. And it was really windy that day, so her hair
was blowing all over the place!

Opening the last of the Christmas presents!
Look at that mess!

Sadie playing with her new purse and all its contents!

Sadie loved the bubbles she got for Christmas!

Tanner's parents got Sadie a little bike that's made for toddlers, she's still a little small for it, but she likes riding around on it! She also got some new sunglasses. Here's a little video of when we took her out today to ride around.

Christmas Dress

Tanner's parents are here visiting for this week and they bought Sadie a Christmas dress to wear to church today. We all went to church together and then drove around Yuma for a little bit to show them to town, such as it is. We went to a park on the banks of the Colorado River and got a few pictures of Sadie. They turned out so cute! Enjoy! Merry Christmas to all!

Pretty Smile!

Yay! Clapping Hands!

Playing Dress Up

Sadie has really been into putting clothes on lately. She really likes to wear hats, or put shoes on; any piece of cloth that she finds, whether its a towel or a sweater, she tries to put on now. Its so cute! She gets so excited when you put whatever it is on her - she always runs right away to go look in the mirror in her bedroom so she can see what she looks like! Here are a few pictures of the things she's modeled lately!

Wearing her pajama pants on her head!


She brought me my hoodie, so I could help her put it on. She actually wore it around for a long time! She thought she was pretty cool!


Looking at herself in the mirror - so vain! :)


Wearing Daddy's baseball cap!


Wearing a towel on her head!

Getting into things

Sadie is becoming a master at "getting into things". We have this corner cabinet in our kitchen - you know the kind with the shelves that swivel. We haven't figured out how to put a child-lock on it yet, so she is constantly getting in there! I don't know how many times she has all of the sudden brought me a bag of powdered sugar, or a box of taco shells! She can also get into the drawer that we keep our ziplock bags in and likes to take the whole box of them out and pull the baggies out one by one. So these pictures are of the goings on at our house this morning!

Clean Hands

Tanner taught Sadie how to wash her hands! Here's a cute little video of it! Enjoy!

Poor Girl :(

Sorry we haven't posted the last week or so, we've been keeping pretty busy. Sadie has been teething all four of her one year molars for the last several weeks, so she's been super fussy and clingy. On top of that she had a cold for a while, and then today she had a doctor's appointment and she had to get four shots! Poor thing! So she's getting spoiled - as you can tell from the picture.
There's nothing like watching a movie wrapped up in a blanket eating graham crackers and milk and looking at a magazine to help a girl feel better! She had just woken up from a nap and was having a hard time - that's why she has "sad eyes" :(

We did get her to smile today though - even though it's a little hidden behind her pacifier. Anyway, we'll try to post a little more this week to make up for lost time for our faithful blog readers!

Happy Birthday Sadie!

Sadie's first birthday was last saturday! Here are a few photos of it. She was really fussy the whole day, so she looks super tired in some of these, but she enjoyed playing with the balloons, unwrapping her presents and stuffing her face with cake!

The Birthday Girl just woke up!

Yay! New pajamas!
