Big Girl

We've just noticed recently that Sadie has had a growth spurt! Okay, so it's been over the last 3 months, but we're seeing differences in her height, her weight and other features. I think it all became real when we had a cold spell and we had to dig out last winter's clothes. Her pants were like capris, her shirts were near midrift, and don't get us started on her feet! I pray she doesn't get Aaron's feet. Her hair has gotten so long too! It's fun coming up with different things to do with it. Although Aaron doesn't care for it much, I love it down, wth nothing in it. Aaron alwasy insists upon putting some sort of clip in it so it will stay out of her face, but I think it's beautiful on it's own. Sadie gets impatient waiting for me to finish my creations, but she always loves the end result. She insists upon looking at it in the mirror when we are done. She has also otten to the stage where she is a little more concerned with what she wears. She doesn't really care what I pick out for her, but once she has it on, it stays. We find this more on Sundays, after we get home from church, we try to get her to change, but she won't change her dress for the rest of the day. We love our little girl and are amazed at her growth everyday. She is so intelligent too. Her vocabulary is fabulous and she loves using big words. She talks NON-STOP! Good luck getting a word in with her.

Disneyland!

The Happiest Place On Earth! We have a friend in the ward who works at Disneyland. Twice a year they get two free day passes. He has no children, so he usually gives them away. Were were the lucky ones recently! Since Sadie is still fee, we only had to pay for parking! YIPPEE! Sadie had so much fun. This was her second time at Disneyland and she loves it. Her favorite rides are the teacups, Dumbo and the carasol horses. We went on teacups twice, or should I say, Sadie and I went on teacups, Aaron can't handle them! Poor guy has a weak stomach. But he got to go on other rides with her, so we all had fun. We got to go on the new Nemo ride, which was kinds cool. Little to close for comfort, closterphobic anyone? The only character we had the chance to take pics with was Eeyore. Aaron and I have beef with the whole character thing. They bring the characters out, but they only stay out for about 10 minutes and then they sweep them away, if you don't make it to the front of the line, too bad! We got to see Tigger... as he walked away! That's okay, Sadie thinks it's all cool from far away, but once you get up to them, she freaks. She actually did okay with Eeyore. I loved how the park was decorated for Halloween. The Haunted Mansion looked awesome, but we didn't dare get close with Sadie. I love how all the pumpkins looked like different characters. All in all, we had a blast. We hope that we can get season passes next year!
