Sweet Birds Sweet Babe

Okay so I love little birds. If I'm not careful they will end up everywhere in my home. For right now sweet little birds seems to be the theme in Sadie's room. I finally found some cute bird art to put above her crib. Plus she's making the sweetest little face in this picture so I thought I would show them both off.

"Little Friends- The Movie"

My sister Jacki helped me figure out how to post videos on my blog. Make sure my little i pod is turned off before you push play. It was a fun day at Disneyland with our friends. Sorry the camra was partial to Sadie. I was trying to get her to jibber jabber. Since that failed I dubbed it over with a cute song.

Little Pink Dress

I couldn't resist this dress from Crewcuts. I hope it will fit Sadie for easter. It may be too cold but I guess I can save it for summer. Oh the joy from buying little pink dresses!

Progress

This was Sadie last summer 2007. Basicly this was Sadie everytime we took her into the great outdoors. She wasn't quite keen on what Mother Nature had to offer her.For those who know Sadie she has an adverse reaction to things of the outside world. You know, trees, grass, dirt, flowers, the things other kids can't wait to run on, touch, feel, eat. Perchance she's still mad about the time I hiked up to Half Dome pregnant with her. We've had hysterics in the apple orchared and tantrums in the pumpkin patch, but we are making progress people! Once in a while we go outside in our backyard and have a pretend picknick on a blanket. She has fun with that for all of three minutes and then decides that the unbrella I'm shading her with is far more facinating. I'm trying to expose her little doses at a time. She found a lemon that fell off our lemon tree and felt it's bumpy skin without chucking it across the lawn. She will also stand in grass (as long as you hold her sweet little hand)! Yes she has come a long way. She will be hiking Half Dome before we know it!

Happy Birthday Aunt Julie

On Valentines Day Sadie and I went to the Huntington Library to celebrate my Aunt Julie's Birthday.(She turned 31 by the way). It was the most beautiful day! Sadie however was a bit under the weather with a cold and being slightly more difficult then she usually is (okay she was throwing a fit), but my Aunt Julie has a way with her. She would sing her a song and dance with her and then it would seem to Sadie all was right with the world. It seems when Aunt Julie even starts to speak it puts a smile on Sadie's face. Our usual high tea was not so usual that day with my poor grumpy Sadie taking every opportunity to throw a scone or cucumber sandwich on the floor. We decided to take shifts, one would eat and the other would try to charm Sadie's temper by any means necessary outside. I of course felt awful Aunt Julies Birthday tea was hardly a peaceful lunch but she assured me that she had the most special day being able to dance and play with Sadie on a day where she obviously needed a little cheering up. I just love my Aunt Julie. Everyday we get to spend together really is like she says a most special day.

Babes for Mitt!

We went to a Mitt Romney rally yesterday. It was pretty cool. I've never done anything like that. I am embarrassed to say that I have never even voted. I know, what kind of American am I? Last year it was my new years reseloution to be more politicaly aware so I read Bill O'Rilley's "Culture Warrior" (wich really got me started with this whole idea), I watch the fox news network almost every night with Micah and I'm trying to be more involved in this election. It's a small start I know but I'm really enjoying keeping up with it all.

Ellie and Sadie at Disneyland

Disneyland

Today was Sadie's first time going to Disneyland! I want with my friend Roxanne and her little girl Ellie. It was so fun The girls are soooo cute together. Sadie watches intently everthing Ellie does. It's so adorable when they copy eachother and then crack up about it. Sadie did pretty well on all the rides. Well the kid rides, we didn't brave space mountain or anything, Mr. Toads wild ride is about as daring as you can get with a 16 month old. If there was music she was dancing and other then that her cute little face seemed courious about everything.

Toe Pick

Last night Micah and I went to a Ducks vs. Red Wings Hockey game with my parents. The Red Wings won! (That score board pic is for you Dana). It was actually quite fun! I never thought I would enjoy it so much. There was alot of fighting! The gloves really do "come off" quite a bit. Seeing it live was super entertaining, considering any knowledge I had of Hockey came from the cinematic masterpeice " The Cutting Edge".

Woobie Fun

Okay I had to show this sweet picture of Sadie having fun with her Grandma and Auntie Holly. Sadie loves going to Grandma's house to play! She especialy gets excited to see the puppies (Pippie and Tony)! She is known as "Woobie" ,"Whoobs", "the Woobster" and so on on the Smith side. It's fun and silly and of course her dad made it up.

Slide show

Wicked

For Christmas my parents got my sisters and I a girls night out to see "Wicked". It was incredible!!!! The actress who played Glenda was fabulous! I can't wait to see it again.

Christmas Coaster

Sadie recieved a roller coaster this year from Micah's parents! At first I was unsure about how much room it was going to take up in the house, but her squeals of delight make it worth the slight obstacle to the dinning table.

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas! Sadie was a little more involved in the gift opening proccess this year.

Smith Family 2008

Okay so I just started this blog. Can't promise I will have much at first but this should be fun. So here is my hansome hubby Micah, my beautiful baby Sadie and then me! We had fun taking these pictures in old town Temecula with my father in law. I think they came out pretty dang cute!
