a little Sadie update

Sadie went to her physical therapist for the first time. The place was so great, it was better then a Chucky Cheese. Sadie loved it! But the therapist said she was baffled by Sadie and couldn't figure out why she wasn't walking She said she was a "puzzle". I replied with " Yes she's my puzzle and it's my job to figure this out!". Why can't anyone have some little clue?! The therapist was super nice though and she implored me to see a neurologist so that is what we are doing next week. Maybe then I will get a piece to my puzzle.

It's a BOY!!!!!!!

We are having a boy! Yikes! I'm so excited but so surprised at the same time! My family is full of girls so this will be quite a change for me! To tell my little sisters the happy news we dropped off a pack of blue Jones soda with a big blue bow at there door. It took them a second to get it (except Jessi she got it right away) but I think they were excited. Micah's mom is bracing me for a little Micah. The crazy stories about her mischievous little boy used to be funny but now I'm scared! Well it will be fun anyway!

Colorado

Micah and I haven't taken a vacation with just our family since our Honeymoon so he came home from work one day and said lets go to Colorado! I was all about this idea, first of all because my husband has never suggested a vacation and second he served his mission there so I knew we would both enjoy it. First we stayed in Colorado Springs at a beautiful hotel called the Broadmoor. Our view was awesome. Everything about this place was awesome. It was right against the mountains. I loved staying there! If I could live at the Broadmoore I would live in Colorado Springs! We went to the Cheyenne Mountain zoo. You can get really close to the animals which was fun. Sadie fed a giraffe. She wasn't sure if she liked that or not.

Our view!!!

Happy after a long day at the zoo!

After Colorado Springs we went and stayed in Downtown Denver at this boutique hotel called Hotel Monaco. They put us in " the 60's artists suite"! We are talking beads, lava lamps and a giant peace sign! I thought it was so fabulous! Micah on the other hand was not expecting such a hippie room. He picked the hotel so there wasn't much grounds to argue. At this hotel they bring you a gold fish to be your pet during the stay. Sadie was over the moon about this! Of course we had to get her one as soon as we got home. I loved staying here, you could walk all over downtown to shops and restaurants. The city was so fun and surprisingly clean.

We went to the Denver art museum and the Natural Science museum . We tried to cram in all we could without me getting too winded being almost 5 months pregnant and all. It was a super fun trip . It was fun to see everywhere Micah lived on his mission and all the stories that went with it. I have a new appreciation for all he did there 7 years ago. Thanks for the fun vacation Love!!!

Match Box Twenty

This last Thursday I went out for a girls night with my sister in law Holy. It was so incredibly fun. We went browsing around South Coast Plaza then stuffed ourselves with the most divine dinner and then to top off the night we went to a Match Box Twenty concert. I remember being 14 years old and having a big crush on Rob Thomas. Any teenager who watched MTV and saw that "Push" video probably did. Any way I had to laugh at myself with how giddy I felt to finally see him live. He was so fantastic! I still wouldn't trade my Micah in for 100 Rob Thomas' but I did feel like a little girl with a tiny little crush. It was funny. It felt so good to go out and have fun. I really needed that!!!! So thanks Holly for sharing such a fun time with me!

Sand Sand Sand

So we finally made it to the beach this summer. It was such an exasperating event that it's taken me a couple of weeks just to write about it. I went with my friends and there little ones and let me just say that I could not have done that with out them! I feel so handicap being pregnant with a 35 pound child that can't walk yet. Thank goodness for those girls, I would have died just unloading and loading my car of all that is required to take an almost 2 year old to the beach. Lets just say that Sadie's excitment for the sand and ocean made it so worth it!  Unfortunatly my dream of taking a million adorable pictures of Sadie playing at the beach did not happen. Everytime I put her down this was her crawling sraight for the waves as fast as she could. She has no fear of the water and I could either wreck my camera and save my child from being washed away or take a picture of her being washed away sooo......

This is how we kept her ashore. Thankyou Mellisa for having the foresight to bring the baby pool! 

I think all of us moms are probly kicking ourselves for not taking a group picture of the kids but I know I wasn't the only one worn out and overwhelmed by the amount of sand these little ones managed to eat or rub in eyes, hair ,and EVERYWERE! The pictures I did manage to get will be fun to look back on. So here is Ellie. Her mom, my friend Roxanne is pregnant too! So we were helpless together.

Here is Aftyn, she loves the water and sand as much as Sadie.

Easton knew what I was up to and didn't want any part of it. Sorry Amy I tried!
