i went on a field trip with Sadie's class to Sunrise Dairy the other week. It was not the most fun field trip Sadie was not very impressed she told me she can see cows whenever she wanted to. but she did think it was interesting to see how they were milked. Then after the tour we went to the park and ate lunch and headed back to the school.
I really think that Sadie had more fun then she lets on.

This post is more of a grandparents post. I think they turned out really good!
Saturday afternoon after we got all of our chores for the day done, we all got cleaned up and Sadie was having a bad day so I pulled her into my room while I was doing my makeup and asked her if she wanted hers done too before she got to spend the night at Grandma Vals house. Of course she jumped at the chance and so we did full make up with eyeliner and all. She was so happy that she wanted me to take a few pictures of her.
These are pictures of Jordyn this morning after I took her hair out, she slept in the 4 french braids that I did on Saturday. Have you ever seen so much hair on a 4 yr old.
I found this in Sadie's backpack the other day
It is hard to see but it says "I love you Jen" and it is a picture of JC kissing me. I thought it was so funny that Sadie drew this at school, and was glad it was not of a picture of me yelling at Sadie to clean her room which seems to be what I do lately.
Can you tell who this is. No one could tell this was Jordyn, I think even my mom and sister had to look twice. She looks very different don't you think.
Well it has been a while since I have updated my blog. really nothing major has been going on. We did Christmas and is was great then New Years/our 5 yr anniversary was next. My mom and dad came into town so they could sit for us, Thanks guys it is nice to not have to pay a sitter for once we really appreciate you!
Then it was back to the grind, Getting kids up and ready school (this is a real struggle in our house) and BABYSITTING.
We have made one trip to the ER for nun other then Cody but it was nothing serious as usual and he is fine now.
The only real exciting thing around here is we have a little calf that we are taking care of right now. Its name is Miles, the kids cousins' Parker and Charlie named him while they had him. We bottle feed him 3 times a day and the girls and Cody LOVE him. Sadie gets up every morning before 7 and feeds him before she can get ready for school, then Jordyn and I feed him lunch and Sadie does it again in the evening.

This year, much thanks to my parents, we took our kids to Disneyland for Christmas. We had SO much fun and so did the kids with their cousins. My older brother Jason and his family and my little sister Ashley and her fam and my parents. The only ones who were missing was my big bro Chris and all his, we missed you guys!!! Anyways it was the best time. I thought that I would post a few pictures, my camera was not working so well, I would take a few pictures then my batteries would die so I am waiting for my mom and sisters to send me some that they took.
James, Paige and Sadie waiting to walk over to the Park.
Cody after a long day
She was the only one that he would stand next to, every other character mad him freak out, what a ladies man. (I think JC liked her too.)
We were waiting for the Pixar Parade in California Adventure it was a really neat one. Doree came up and gave Jordyn a hug.
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!
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.
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.
