Happy Birthday my BIG girl

I am so proud of My Sadie Belle! She has grown into such a wonderful little lady. Sadie was born December 15, 2001 8 weeks premature. She weighed in at 4 lbs 3 oz and dropped down to 3 10. She was such a little fighter. Her immune system was under developed and had a blood transfusion but only had to stay in the hospital 3 weeks before I could bring her home. She was such a good baby and slept through the night as soon as the doctors told me that I did not have to wake her every 3 hours to feed her.

Sadie is so full of life and is bursting at the seems with personality! She has always been super silly and loves to pretend but this picture is one of her calm moments She was about 1 in this picture

This next picture is a Val's house this was Sadie's favorite thing to wear like I said she was big into dress up and pretend, in fact the first 6 months or more we lived in St. Johns Sadie could be found on any given day in a princess costume, she was almost 2 here.

This picture is of her 3rd Birthday

Here she is now, 7 years old, like is said she is such a little lady. She makes me smile (and about pull my hair out) every day and I am so thankful she was sent to me! I love you so much Sis!

Stockings

Hey everyone, these are some stockings I made. I took a ton of them to a craft fair and sold them for $30 a piece, but I  have 12 left, If anyone is interested in buying them I will sell them for $20 a piece, they are made out of Wranglers, these are just 2. I have them in different fabric.  They are 16" long and 91/2" wide across the top and from the heal to toe they are 13"

So spread the word, I would love to get rid of them before I go out town on Friday Thanks everyone. Oh yeah I will mail them out if I need to.

 

My little Helper

Cody loves to help in the kitchen lately, any time he hears me cooking he wants to help stir so I usually give my a plastic bowl with a tiny bit of flour in it and let him stir. Well he decided to get his own...

I couldn't get upset he looked too cute! Oh notice that his shoes are on the wrong feet, he has learned to put them on himself since he has such a shoe fetish.

We LOVE Aunt Marybeth!!!!

Dear Aunt Marybeth thank you for these scarfs, they are comfy and they keep me warm at school. I love to dance with mine and pretend magic with it. Thank you so much I really like them! Love Sadie

Aunt Airebes I love you because you gave me my scarf. I love you SO much and I love Uncle Scott that he made it too. Love Jordyn

These are their words.

Dancing Queens

I totally forgot about this video I took of the girls, I took it while my computer was down so I thought that I would post it now. This is Jordyn's favorite song ever she knows every single word. Check out the gum chewing it is to funny.

Update

Well I am back...I have not had a computer forever and it has been awful! So here are some update pictures of the kids from the last month that are kinda a bunch of nothing but here they are anyway's.

Cody is such a Daddy's boy! He loves to go and be with him whenever he can.

Playing in the leaves at Grandad's house

One of the kids favorite things is when JC brings home his saddle to oil and clean so that they can play on it

Halloween

Asia came over and spent Halloween with us. We started by carving pumpkins while Cody was down for his nap, I figured that it would be much easier this way. The girls all drew on a piece of paper how they wanted there pumpkins to look then the cleaned them out and I carved, the best I could. Here they all are, they had so much fun. Once they were finished Sadie and Asia pretended they were chefs and played with the seeds and goo for over an hour and made a huge mess.

They all had tons of fun!

JoJo's Birthday

Well its official she's all grown up...Jordyn turned 4. She is so excited about being "BIG". We were in the valley at my mom's for her birthday so we asked Jordyn what she wanted to do for her day and she told us that she wanted to go to the zoo, so that is what we did. Heather, Millie, Matt and Chase all went with us. We really did not see that much it seems but we were there for 3 hours I think and after that much time the kids were tired, I did not get that many pictures but here are a few.

Sadie, Cody, Chase and Jojo in a cave

This was Sadie's favorite part of the zoo, she found this goat in the petting zoo that just layed there and she felt sorry for it so she stayed by it the whole time we were in there.

at the playground he loved this kangaroo

After we went to the zoo we had a party for Jordyn at my parents house My sister Ashley and my brother Chris and there families and Heather and Millie came. She wanted a Rainbow birthday so that's what she got.

Sadie, Jordyn, Zach Whats that you ask...Where did I get that cute cake? I made it!

Jordyn and Nick opening her presents they had so much fun together!

I know I know it has been forever but my computer crashed on me and I sent it to the valley to be fixed I will have it back this next weekend so I will post something then and catch everyone up to speed!

Sooo Yummy!

Kay I have been wanting to make caramel apples for a while now but you can't get the little square caramels in this town anywhere so I thought that I was going to have to do it all from scratch, yuck! Then I stumbled across the Werthers web site and I made these oh so yummy little things. Here is the web site for the recipe. I doubled it to make about 11 med. sized apples and I got toffee bits and sprinkled over them after I drizzled chocolate.

Sorry the picture is a little blurry
