Little Beauties

Just some pictures... Because I like to take them, because I like to look at them, because I think my girls are little beauties.

Ahhhh... To be two again.


You should see the production I put on to get a real smile out of this girl. You may think I have issues after watching.

Check out our chunk fresh out of the tub. This may be a favorite.

Nothing like a good read from ol' Shel himself. I love that Sadie picks her nose in 80 percent of the pictures I take. And I love that London is so into the book.

Anyone who wears this towel in our family is designated as "the froggy princess." There is even a song that goes along with it. Oh I just love the chunky stage! I want to eat her up.

Sadie's big number 2!

I can't believe my little baby is 2! Really, I can't believe it. Really! Sometimes I feel like I just had her or maybe I'm confusing it with London, I'm not sure. And then other times I feel like she has been with us for forever. I love this girl! She really makes everyday just a TON more fun! I love you Sadie!!

I know, like one million pictures, but my family really wanted to be there but couldn't due to the fact that we live so dang far away. This is my way of including them.

First off, today I took Sadie to her 2 year check up and she only weighs 19 lbs. 15 oz! London is totally going to pass her up in weight, like tomorrow. Oh and she still fits into her 1 year b-day suit. What a shrimp! I really hopes she passes the 5-foot mark.

So ever since December when I explained to Sadie that she would be turning 2 and that we were going to have a birthday party for her, she has been talking about her "Mickey Mouse party" ever since. Every morning she would wake up and say "My Mickey Mouse party, mommy!!" She would talk about who was coming and the plates, cups etc. Ever since Thanksgiving when we went to Disney World she has become Mickey and Minnie's biggest fan, so a Mickey/Minnie party was only appropriate. A week before the party we started to get ready for the big day. I made her a Minnie Mouse skirt. Big mistake. Showing her too early it made her even more anxious for her party and she had to wear it every day, even to bed. Here is a picture of her a week or so before her party sporting the Minnie mouse skirt in bed. She wanted to wear her Disneyland hat (which she wore to the store the other day) to bed but I tricked her into something a little more comfortable (a beanie).

So needless to say she was very, very excited for her party. We had a fun BBQ with Sadie's cute friends and there families.

whenever I can get her to actually smile for a picture it is this head turned up high cheesiness.

Mickey and Minnie everything. We even had Mickey-shaped cheese and Jello Jigglers.
Mark did a FANTASTIC job on the cake! Sadie couldn't believe her eyes. She especially liked that he had a pink tongue.

Mark came up with some cute games... Mickey skittles toss and Pin the nose on Mickey. No Pinata this year. Last year's pinata slaying was a little too hard on our tender hearted soul.

Sadie loved Pin the nose on Mickey. She kept saying "I did it mommy, I did it!"

Yummy cake! There was so much black die in the frosting. Let's just say Sadie's diaper was very, very dark the next day. Eww!

I helped her blow out her candle.

at the end of the day all she wanted to do was play with all her fun new toys.

I promised her Minnie balloon like forever ago and she loved it. She wants to take it everywhere. It's a little hard to drive with that thing in the car.

My big girl. She is so cute!!

Twinners!!

Birthday Girl

It is 12:13 am and I almost forgot to give a big Birthday shout out to my precious Sadie. Even though we spent all day celebrating the big day. I still want it recorded...

Happy Birthday Sadie!!!!

Because I am tired, because I have been celebrating to my heart's delight, because I have Relief Society lesson for tomorrow on the brain I will make this short and sweet...

2 years ago today, (well technically 2 years ago yesterday since it is past midnight but anyways), you have enriched my life and have made me a happier and better person. You have made me a mother and I love being your mother.
