May 2009

With May came the beginning of beach season and everything else we love to do during the summer. We were able to take our first trip to the beach andhad a fabulous day!

Later that month we enjoyed a visit from my mom. Sadie loves to see her Grammy honor and enjoyed all the back logged presents she brought with her. We also got to go to the strawberry patch in Carlsbad again. Sadie had fun picking all the strawberries she could.

April 2009

Easter. Sadie picked out a cute dress for Easter, which included a matching dress for her baby doll Saylor. We went to a park before Church and hid eggs for her to find. Church was wonderful and we wnjoyed a great dinner.

March 2009

Sadie is 4! Our little girl got bigger. I had a great day Sadie and I think she really enjoyed her birthday. It was a no-party year, but it was her day. I made her a big banner to wish her a happy birthday when she woke up. She thought it was so cool! She loved it so much that we hung it in her room and it is still up! I made her favorite blueberry muffins for breakfast. Sadie loves to blow out candles, whether they are hers or they belong to someone else. she loved putting one in her muffin, with Aaron at work, I sang happy birthday to her and let her blow out her candle. Sadie had been wanting one of those cute little stuffed dogs that came in a fancy little bag, so i took her to a store to pick one out! she picked out a fuzzy one named her Fluffy. I felt advantageous and made her cake also. It didn't exactly turn out how I envisioned, but it worked. All sadie cared was that it had Princesses on it and tasted great! When Aaron got home, we took her out to her favorite place for dinner, Del Taco. (YUCK!) She loves the quesadillas there. She was in heaven, and that is what mattered most.

Aaron turns 33!

This year was a little different, Aaron didn't have his Dad around to share their birthday, but we made the best of it. Aaron always gets cheesecake instead of birthday cake, so I made one for him this year. It turned out GREAT! I enjoyed it more than the store bought, and not just because I made it. A year older and wiser.

January 2009

Jesus Wants Me for a SUNBEAM! With the new year came Sadie's first day in Primary! She had no problem with the transition which was a relief after what we went through with Nursery. Sadie loves everything music, so to her advantage she knew all the primary songs. The year is almost though and she still loves going! I am now serving in primary and I enjoy interacting with her in a different setting.

We're Back!

So 2008 had it's ups and downs. The biggest change for our family was selling our house in Victorville and moving to Ontario. Although we truly enjoy being out of the high desert, we miss our house and everything that comes with it: our friends, the space, the yard. Aaron misses doing yard work on the weekends. I told him I was sure there were people in the ward who wouldn't mind him coming to do their yard work for free! So we've made some adjustments, but we're doing great! Aaron is 5 minutes from work and doesn't miss the commute. Sadie and I have made lots of new friends and enjoy doing fun things with them. We are Happy and Healthy and Together, that is what matters most!
