Sadie and her friends-

the wall...


and the swing!

Chats With Sadie

Sadie has become much more aware of her voice in the past few days. Here is a recent conversation I had with her in pictures.

Yelling about something. I'm guessing poop.

Listening to my response.

Telling me why I am wrong. The pointer finger adds emphasis.

Oh and a cute picture with dad:

This morning Sadie was just about the smiliest she has ever been. Here is what I got on camera...

My favorite:

Museum Outing: No Boys Allowed

We have lived by the Pioneer Heritage Museum for 3 years but never gone in. So as Sadie and I were on a walk the other day and I saw a big "OPEN" sign on the front door, we decided to check it out. This museum is a girl's only club if I've ever seen one. Upon entering we found a bunch of women with an average age of roughly 72.5. Sadie loved it! She is learning early the age-old saying "girls rule and boys drool".

But seriously, this museum has some really cool stuff from the pioneers who settled Provo. And it's free. It's open from April to October the last two Wednesdays of the month from 1-4 PM. It is operated by the Daughter of the Utah Pioneers; hence why there were all women inside.

Sadie just had to test it out. She's a rule breaker!

We enjoy laughing at our daughter

Sadie has found....

1. Her thumb. Whenever she finds it she'll inevitably start squirming again, pull it out of her mouth, and get mad.


2. Her swing mobile. She smiles at those little lambs more than anything else.

3. Her inner snob. Look at that pinky raised in the air!

Update on Daniel's Job- Sorry for my vagueness; Daniel said he was going to do a post on it. He wants me to write that he is now a Wolverine. It was sad to leave the people at BYU, but this is a step in the right direction for his career.
