FUN NEW TOY

Matt recently purchased a Rhino, it is a 4X4 side by side. He is really excited to have it, he has wanted one of these for so long. He has already been out in it about a half a dozen times. He took me and Sadie up into the mountains one late afternoon for a ride, it was so fun, we took sandwiches up with us and had a picnic, the leaves are turning colors right now, and so it was so beautiful. Sadie loved every minute of it, she just kept saying how beautiful the mountains and the trees, and the leaves were. It is a fun little toy!!

Sadie loves it, She asks for rides every day!!

I just thought this picture was priceless!!

UPDATE

So it has been a while since the last time that I blogged, i haven't had to many pictures lately because my model started Ist grade, and she is gone for most of the day. It is weird to have her gone all day, I have free time to go shopping without someone complaining the whole time that she wished she was at home playing with friends, I have fun going to lunch with family and friends(I am available any day feel free to call). It is nice to have freedom, but I also miss her and being around her during the day. I sure love being a mom. Sadie has been a huge blessing in my life. I have been told by doctors that I probably won't be able to conceive another child, which crushed my heart, although we have tried invitro fertilization twice, getting pregnant both times and losing them both shortly after, we aren't going to give up. My awesome fertility doctor was sent to jail for a year. I know, I know, sounds bad, but I believe that he was falsely accused. He has been the best, most caring, most understanding doctor that I have been to. He is very smart, knows his stuff about fertility, and rises to the new challenges that people bring to him. He has helped so many people have their dreams of having a family come true. I haven't been to another doctor yet, and I feel right now that I just need a break from all of that stuff. So after long consideration, prayers and fasting, we have decided to adopt. The process has been long, lots of paperwork, and interviews, but well worth it. We just have one last letter to write and we will be good to go. We don't necessarily feel like we will never have any of our own children again, but we feel that we needed to proceed this way to grow our family. We are really excited, Sadie especially. She has told me time and time again that she wished she had a brother or a sister, which breaks my heart every time, but she knows that we are working hard to get her one, and let me tell you she will be THE BEST BIG SISTER ever. I sure love her, and my awesome husband who has been there for me to lean on through this whole situation. He truly is the BEST
Aren't I lucky!!!!

Gotta wear shades!!

Here are some pictures of the neighbor girls hanging out in their shades.
They are so adorable.



Sadie is looking hot!!!

Schools in session!!!

If you can believe it or not our little munchkin is already in First grade. She was so excited to go back to school. I thought at first she was kind of putting on a little front, and that she was nervous to go, but she wasn't she went right in without any hesitation, and absolutely loved the first day. Her favorite part was eating in the lunchroom with all of her friends and being able to play with them at recess. I must say that I was a little nervous to leave her there all day, but she did awesome.

Family Fun

Last Friday we wanted to do something fun, but relaxing. We decided to try the lift ride up at Sundance. It was the first time that I had ever done it. Actually it was Sadie first time too. It was sooooo relaxing it felt amazing, the weather was perfect and the views were breathtaking. I enjoyed myself so much. Matt absolutely loved it, and Sadie had a fun time too. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, good time.

Conquering Fears

Well she finally learned how to do it. Sadie can ride a two wheeler. Last year we tried to teach her, but we didn't have success, in fact she was deathly scared to even try again. She told me that the only way she would ever ride a bike was if it had training wheels, I asked what was going to happen when she became an adult, and she told me she would still have the training wheels on. Well we conquered that fear. It really only took her about five minutes of me holding on and then she took off on her own. That is all she does now. Mom, can I go and ride my bike, I hear that about fifty times a day. I am so proud of her, way to go babe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday Mom,
My moms birthday was on Monday. My dad was out of town for it, so me and my sisters decided that we needed to have a party that night for her. We all went and got pedicures while the awesome sons-in-laws watched all of the kids back at home. Then we went back and rescued the men from the kids and got some take-out Chinese food and had a feast for dinner it was tasty. I think that my mom really enjoyed the pedicure ( I did too!!) and she definitely deserves it. Thanks mom for being a great mom and a great example to me. I love you.




Just relaxing
