Isn't she squeezy?

So BIG

Anniversary

THREE years together and still in love! I think we are doing pretty good. To celebrate Phil, Ben's dad gave us tickets to the jazz game Friday night and we spent the night in Salt Lake. We were planning on going skiing for our anniversary, but Ben forgot his snow board. So we went to the Clarke Planetarium and did lots of fun shopping. This is us preparing to watch a 3D movie.

Birthdays! Sadie and Dads

Dad insisted on her wearing her "Daddy's little present" shirt.
We went to Jeremiah's for breakfast for their birthdays. I invited all of Ben's family. To say the least it was an eventful day. Breakfast, family pictures, family Christmas party, and Jazz game!

What is a 1st birthday without the mess?

Christmas

She liked the wrapping paper more than the toys this year. Better luck next year I hope.

UPDATE

We are officially moving to Brigham! We are renting for a little while to save up money to buy a house. Ben is accepting an offer from ATK (Thiokal) this week. Things at this Jeppsen house have been stressful lately. Ben is constantly working on his projects, reports, test, etc. I'm stressing out like crazy because of his stress and the fact we have so much going on this month. Our move in date is the 1st, but move out date is the 31st. It's kind of poopy. I'm going to miss the primary and I'm sad about that. We will be moving most our stuff on the 13th right after Ben graduates. Ben starts ATK on the 15th. Ben and Sadie's birthdays are Dec. 26th and me and Ben's anniversary is the 27th. As if the Christmas holiday isn't enough stress. This too shall pass, right?

Sorry if this isn't updated for awhile I'm sure you understand.

BOWS AGAIN

I have told many of you about the bow holder I made and here it finally is. I'm obsessed I know, but I have to have something to keep me sane.

She Loves Her Books!

Sadie has discovered books. It's so fun. She opens them turns the pages and reads them really loud to her mom and dad. The other day she saw a dog in the book and said woof woof. Grandma Lama taught her that one. Every time she sees a dog she says woof woof. It is interesting some of the things kids pick up on.

The New Bow

These are the new bows I'm making. I love them! Sadie just woke up and her face is a little red from sleeping on it.

New Blankie

She loves her new blanket Grandma Carr made her.

GRADUATION!!!

It's the final count down. Ben is graduating December 13th! ATK (thoikal) is offering him a job as an engineer. We are way excited as you can tell. This is our kitchen wall. We are looking forward to moving to Brigham and moving on with our lives!

She is so Silly

Blogger: Mom, Dad, and Squeezies - Create Post
This little one has learned to say no. NOT COOL! Okay actually I think it's pretty cute. At least for now. She kind of looks like a bobble head.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

It's been awhile. We have definitely been busy. The primary program was this last week and it went really well. The children sang so good. I'm so proud of them. Halloween we had our quarterly activity and it went awesome. I was in charge of Jonah and the Whale. I told the story and then we did the fishing game. My counselors and secretary all did an activity too. They are so good at everything they do. Along with all of this I made mine and Ben's Halloween costumes. To say the least it has been a very eventful couple of weeks.

Halloween

I guess their is a creative bone in my body. I decided Ben and I needed to dress up for Halloween with Sadie. I made the flower with poster board, cotton balls, and spray paint. I made Ben a bee with a clearance $5.00 shirt and some yellow duck tape. It was fun being kids again and Ben was a real trooper in his sweaty hot costume.
Sadie decided to show us her new trick on Halloween. SHE CRAWLS! We thought the day wouldn't come, but she proved us wrong. There goes our freedom.
Grandma Carr gave me some money and I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. I guess I'll begin by counting it.

Pumpkin Walk

We went to the pumpkin walk with Brett, Heidi, and their two girls Tawni and Kaylee.


This is Sadie's very first bus ride.

Kaylee totally fits this part.

Isn't Tawni beautiful!

We didn't get enough of it the first time. So we went back again with the twins , Caden and Daylon. This was infront of my favorite one Noah's Ark.

I can fly. Zoom Zoom!

Caden did so good with all the picture taking. He loved riding around on his scooter.

Our Little Butterfly

While we were down in St. George we went on a shopping trip to the outlets. This little butterfly we found at Childrens Place. It was half off only $11.25. They have the cutest things.

Little Danica

My friend Megan finally had her baby Danica Oct. 14, 2008. She is so cute! Sarah and I headed down to St. George the day she went into labor to surprise her. It was a lot of fun to be back together with the friends.
Look at her mouth. No wonder she is a good breastfeeding baby. It's so darling!

Mommy and Danica
Sarah, Mom, Danica, and me.

Babysitting

I'm staying at my brothers house for a few days and watching his two boys while him and his wife celebrate their anniversary. It has actually gone pretty good. This is everyone having snacks.

Mmmm Milk

She likes to pinch the nipple of the bottle. This time it went all over her face.

Learning

The other day I just decided to let her try out a straw and to my surprise she gulped it right up!

Sepia or Black and White.... Which one do you like?

Sepia
Black and White

Ben thought it would be fun to use my new talent with the pumkin picture.

Which one do you like?

I'm crazy! I saw a picture colored like this on the internet and decided I was going to figure out how to create the effect. So which one do you like? Colored Bow

Non Colored Bow

Can't get enough of her

You can tell daddy was here this time. She was all smiles!

9 Months

Sadie just turned 9 months and I wanted pictures. So I decided I was going to do them myself. I had a few ideas in mind. We headed our for a picture taking adventure. Unfortunately Ben wasn't able to come with us. He can always make her smile.



I was driving around looking for sunflowers and saw these weeds along the train tracks. Thought it would make for some good pictures.

I thought it would be fun to try sunflowers until she started eating them!






I took these on some equipment at the park.



She was really getting tired at this point.




On our way home I spotted a family out picking pumpkins. So I asked if I could take some pictures. Their pumpkins were amazing.
