Our little gymnast

When we first moved to Florida I was looking for some fun things for Sadie to do around the area. One of my neighbors told me about a gymnastics place around here that you can go every Monday and Friday for $5 and let your kid run around, jump on the trampolines and use all the equipment. So for months I was taking Sadie there and then I decided to enroll her in a class. I am so glad I did. The girl loves it and always looks forward to tuesdays when we get to go see Coach Jean and learn how to do cartwheels, front rolls, handstands, triangles, pike, straddle legs, tucks, do tricks on the tumble track, swing on the rings, do tricks on the balance beam and so on. Hey, I have even learned a thing or two about the sport. I can't wait to see Sadie take Gold in the 2020 Olympics.

warming up is always a good idea before exerting your muscles

I think it is so fun to see Sadie use all these things she has learned at home. She has become a little monkey around the house climbing and swinging from everything.

Official documents (officially cute)

One thing to check off the long list of things to do before Germany. Passport pictures. I hope they accept these, they are too cute not too. (Mark just informed me that they probably won't accept them due to cropping errors. He's the one that did them, but they are still cute.)

I just have to say that I cried like a baby during LOST.

Best gift ever!

For Mark's Birthday back in April I got him a bike trailer. It honestly is the best gift I could have gotten him. Not only does he get to do what he loves to do (ride his bike), but I get a nice little break all to myself. Genius!! And the girls LOVE it. So everyone wins here. We are planning on doing a lot of biking while in Germany So this was a must-get on our list.

Sadie thinks it is so much fun. She keeps asking to go on bike rides. And Mark even heard a little chuckle out of London while riding, even though she tried to look serious for the pictures.

The road lulled her to sleep...

You make think we stuff her cheeks with cotton balls or that she is holding her breath. But those are her legit cheeks right there. Those are pinching, kissing cheeks.

Sadie later fell asleep too. Looks like life on the road is hard.

This morning I realized how great this gift was. Sadie woke up at 5:45 this morning so daddy and Sadie went on a long bike ride to the park and ocean. Genius!!

Pretty little thang...

Mark graciously took Sadie to mutual with him the other day so what did London and I do with out the little wild rascal?

Photo Shoot!!

I love how they turned out! Now if only Sadie was half as good as London while taking pictures (minus the grazing), I would have some cute pictures of her too. But noooo! I have to do cartwheels and buck like a bronco to get a smile or even a glance out of her. So thank you London for making this an enjoyable experience for me. Enjoy...

p.s. London is 7 months old now and is only a few pounds away from Sadie maybe the same now. They are actually fitting into a lot of the same clothes. I love it.

Graham crackers and prunes for good behavior.

I love you so much my little chub!
