Welcome Home

We are loving every minute at home with baby Rowan. When Sadie allows Mommy and Daddy a turn to hold her baby brother, we enjoy his cute faces and sweet sounds. He has been very sleepy and such a joy to have.

Big sister Sadie was excited to show Rowan her room. Bedtime stories and prayers are so much fun with Rowan around.

Happy Father's Day

Daddy, will you marry me? This is a common question at our house these days. Of course to her this means a dress, flowers and a dance. Sadie Pearl loves her daddy, and so do I. Happy Father's Day!

Okay baby...

We are ready for you to come.

I'm ready to meet my little boy.
Sadie is ready to be a big sister.

We all thought you'd be here by now. Let's make this happen tonight!

Strawberries

My sweet little strawberry blonde was cute as can be as she picked strawberries.

Yum!

After eating a ton of strawberries, these girls used their energy to fly like butterflies.

Lazy 5

In April, we also went to the Lazy 5 Ranch. We've been a couple times before during the summer, but I've decided spring is the best time to go. The weather was perfect and there were pregnant, nursing and newborn animals everywhere.

Abby and Sadie ready for the wagon ride.

When we first arrived, my little girl was a bit skeptical of the giant peacock. She got braver with time.

Here are some of the animals we saw:

Don't get too close with that big slimy tongue!

Feeding the goats and sheep was one Sadie's favorite activities. She would only feed the babies though and got annoyed with the adult animals when they would try to sneak food out of her hands. It was quite entertaining to watch.

Easter

We loved celebrating Easter.

Sadie dyed eggs with her friends.

She hunted eggs and met the Easter Bunny at the YMCA.

She ate peeps with Dad.

Next time we'll take pictures before giving her candy.

Then we had friends over for dinner and the kids hunted eggs, again!

My favorite part of Easter was teaching Sadie the song "Did Jesus Really Live Again?" She learned all three versus and performed on Skype for her grandparents. Practicing the song each day for weeks helped us stay focused on the Savior.
