Cabin pics

We spent a couple days at the cabin for Memorial Day weekend. Sadie had a blast with her cousins!

Gymnastics

Here's some pics from Sadie's gymnastics meet today...

Ironman

We went to St. George a few weeks ago to watch Drew's cousin, Keb compete in the Ironman. It was a great experience, and very inspiring. Keb has the perfect excuse for not exercising, and yet he pushed himself to do the Ironman. There was a story written about him in the Daily Herald. Here's the link-

What Sadie thinks of me...

Sadie's preschool teacher wrote down some things that Sadie said about me:

I like to give my mom hugs and kisses.
It makes me happy when my mom plays princesses and ball with me.
My mom's a queen and I'm a princess.
My mom likes to play "blankies" (I have no idea what this means??)
My mom's favorite food is bananas. (I actually don't care that much for bananas but I'm always trying to get Sadie to eat them, so she must assume that I like them.)
And my very favorite: For work my mom talks to herself at the city offices.

New Dog

Here's the newest member of our family- Jessie. She's a Drahthaar German Hunting dog. She's just a puppy right now, but she'll get really big.

Sadie really likes Jessie.....
And this is one of those bad mother moments. I had to beg Sadie to hold the puppy so that I could get a cute picture, and Jessie, being a puppy, wanted to chew on Sadie's head! It's really not that bad- this picture makes it look worse that what it really was. Jessie only left a tiny scratch on Sadie's forehead.
Despite this, and the incident where Jessie peed on Sadie's princess sleeping bag, (another very dramatic event) Sadie really does love Jessie. She talks about her often and wants to play with her. Sadie also really enjoys shouting out commands such as "No", "Down," and "Sit".
