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.

My New Hair Style!

It is about time I do something different. I had my bangs cut and put more dark in it.

So Excited

So this morning we turned on Signing Times and Sadie went crazy. She started clapping (for the first time) and cheering. It was the cutest thing ever. She melts my heart every day.

Bath Time

She loves her whistling hippos.

Bad Day

I wanted to get a picture in her new dress, but she didn't like that idea. She's TICKED!

Sadies first bike

Grandma Carr helping Sadie get on her bike. Heidi bought this hot rod at a yard sale.

Broom.....Broom......

Peach Days

We started off peach days with Sadie's first parade. She didn't like the loud fire engines and cried through that, but after that it was smooth sailing. We had fun with her cousin Bregenz, aunt Linsay, and uncle Jake.


We had to go to the car show and find Ben's Chevy 63 Nova. He owned one of these in high school and one day he will own one again. When he was younger their was a Nova 63 a couple miles away from his house and every day he would ride his bike to go and see it.

Megan's baby shower

Can you believe Megan (one in the middle) is due Oct. 15th. She looks so good! This is all my high school friends. I have missed them so much. It was a blast hanging out and catching up on life. Steph (one on the far left) and me are the only ones not pregnant. It is so fun to see all our families grow. Good luck to all my girls with their new babies. I can't wait to see all the little ones.

Will she ever learn?

I'm trying to get Sadie to scoot. Food always motivates this little one. So I decided to put the two together. As you see it doesn't work. She has figured out that if she rolls to her side it moves her forward therefore she can get her food. If you look closely she rolls over her arm. This has always been Sadie's style of rolling over. What a stubborn little squeezie.

Sweet thing

I had Sadie's hand and foot prints done when she was six weeks old. Aren't they precious?

All the BOWS

Here is my bow making skills!

Lovin Our Squeezies

Finger eating food

Lovin her Carrot

What Nap Time? What's that?

End of Vacation

After we got home from Moab we headed up to Bear Lake. In the morning we were daring and decided to take on Minnetonka Cave. BEGINNING

VACATION

So this last week Ben decided to surprise me with a mini vacation before he went back to school. It was amazing. The first night we stayed in Salt Lake and the next few days we stayed in Moab. I didn't know Utah had such beautiful scenery. It made me have a better realization of the creation of this earth. We went on a rafting trip which was my favorite! The guide let me float off the back of the raft holding onto a rope. I don't have pictures of that but here are some we did get.
This was the nicest bed and breakfast I have ever been to. We had our own deck that we ate dinner on and they even had a pool that we swam in at night.

Such a Big Girl

Sadie's first time in a shopping cart.
