Today was a great Sunday! Adam, Sadie and I went out with my Mom and Tommy on their boat. we went down to Crystal river. It was a lot of fun. We drove down the river, had lunch and just hung out. We even got to see a manatee, it was like a foot away from my leg! We didn't get any pics with our camera but I think my Mom got some. I'll post those later. Sadie seemed to really enjoy the boat. She didn't love wearing the life vest, but, it has to be done! When we weren't riding, we took it off so she could be more comfortable. She loved moving and going fast! We had a really nice lunch and then slowly headed back. It was HOT HOT HOT by the time we got back to the boat ramp and Sadie (and all of us) were burning up. It was a lot of fun but it was nice to get back in the a/c. The river had NO air movement. I can't wait to go out again. Later in the evening, we went over to Adam's parents' house and swam in the pool. Adam's Mom, Irene, made peanut chicken and it was delicious (as usual). The pictures are backwards. The top one was this evening at the Shugans' Sadie kept covering Zena (the dog) with her blankie and rubbing her and saying "night night Zena". So cute. Well, I'm super tired so I am going to take a shower and go "night night". I hope everyone had a great weekend! Enjoy the pics.
My mom had given this china hutch (the top part is not in any pics but it is sitting in our office) a while back because she got a BEAUTIFUL buffet from Tommy's grandparent's house. I have always liked the "bones" of this piece bur it was always a little too country for me. When she gave it to me I asked her if she monded if Ipainted it. Well, that was in January...I fianlly did it. I LOVE how it turned out and I did it all myself, on my patio and in our office! This past Friday night I sanded it down (and striped the top), Saturday night I put a tarp down and painted it an off white to match our dining room chairs, after it was dry I put it on the patio and re-stained the top to match our dining table and the wood in the chairs. I also spray painted the brass handles, knobs and hinges black. I was going to get new handles but everything I liked as kind of expensive. I decided I would just paint the ones I had and save up for the ones I wanted...turns out I like these way better! Anyhow. I decided to leave the center door off and take the magnet off and leave it open. I am so happy with how it turned out. Any opinions? Loves
Sadie is 23 months today!! In one month she will be 2! I can't believe it. The pics are kind of out of order, blogger uploads them weird. But, Sadie has been doing new stuff, most importantly sleeping in her "big girl" bed. We put the twin back in her room, just to try it for naps, and left her crib up. She took a nap in it, then that night she climbed up in there at bed time. We let her sleep in it. The whole next week she kept choosing to sleep in that bed! After a week of her doing that we took her crib down! She loves her new bed. The pics don't show it but we did put a bed rail up so she won't fall out. She did sleep in it for naps without one but I was a little worried she would roll out. So, now the crib is under our bed until we another have another baby or decide we're done making babies! Luckily we have a huge, tall bed to store it under (thanks Mama & Papa).
Here it is!! I fina;;y posted pics of Sadie's playhouse! We got this on Satuday and she's been enjoying it since Adam put it together on Sunday. She is cute going in and out, smiling and giggling. I love that kid. Enjoy the pics! Loves
Yes, I know, there are a lot of pics from this weekend. Photobucket is being weird again so I just posted them all like this! Saturday morning one of my best friends (Jenn) had her baby shower. Unfortunately I only got one pic of she and our other best friend Vanessa. The baby shower was so much fun. It was so great to see Jenn open all of her wonderful gifts and see her mother (who is such a fantastic woman) and laugh and have a good time. Right after the shower, one of my other best friends (since high school) got married!!! Kristin and Benny had their wedding in an airplane hanger and it was so awesome. They put everything together themselves and it looked fantastic. She asked me to do the flowers, so I made her bouquet, 2 boutonnieres and a pomander flower ball. They turned out pretty well. The wedding was super fun too. Sadie enjoyed playing with Benny's daughter Ciara (they've played together before). Ciara was pushing Sadie around in her stroller and taking her on walks and dancing with her. It was so cute. After the wedding we just came home and hung out. Today we just ran a couple of errands and enjoyed not having anything planned. We took Sadie to the museum and walked around. Other than that today was pretty uneventful. Although, we did get to have breakfast and dinner with Adam's mom and that was really nice. We haven't seen her in a few weeks so it was nice to catch up (and talk about Grey's anatomy, which we both love!). Sadie is in bed now and Adam is watching tv. This week will hopefully be low key and then next weekend is a long weekend. And (Mom, don't forget) Thursday, a movie I am VERY excited about opens!!!! Mom and I are going to have a girls night and see it. Anyways. Hope everyone has a great week. Loves.
So...today when Sadie woke up, her hair was plastered to her face with snot. She had a huge rat's nest in the back of her head and would not keep in the pig tails I kept trying to put up. Sadie had her first hair cut. It's a little shorter than what I wanted but it'll grow. Now, I know some of you out there are thinking 'oh, no!!', but I think, for the summer, this will be better for her. She is so hot natured and won't keep her hair up. We needed to do something. She seems to like it. She kept shaking her head around to make it fluff and smiling. We forgot the camera when we took her to get it cut. But, we went to my Dad and Carrie's house this afternoon and got some pics. They bought a turtle sandbox for her to play in at their house. After she played in that for a while we went swimming. We ate some delicious burgers on (Dad grilled) and went for a walk around the neighborhood. It was nice. I feel like I need another day off. I worked 6 days, off today and work 5 this week! I am tired. I have a baby shower and wedding this upcoming weekend and am making the flowers for the wedding! I am really excited about that. Work is going well, busy, but well. Adam is applying for multiple jobs every evening all over the country. It'll be interesting to see where we end up. I have tons of pics to post from last weekend (when we went to Disney, again, and Epcot). But, I'm not sure if I'll get them posted tonight. I wanted to get these up since she looks so cute with her new hair do! Sadie has been sick with a sinus infection. She was sick last weekend at Disney and Epcot but she mostly rode in her stroller was carried or was on a ride so she did fine. As soon as my insurance kicks in we plan to take her to see an ENT doctor. After thinking about it and talking with both of my parents I am convinced that she wouldn't have so many problems with breathing if we had her adenoids and possibly tonsils) taken out. From what I've heard, I had the same problems when I was her age and the procedures greatly helped me. I also want to talk to them about her ears. She still falls over easily and looses her balance and if you watch her you can see it's her equilibrium. She just has too much fluid in that little head. But, hopefully we will get that taken care of soon! I love that kid to pieces. Well, I will try and get those other pics posted. Loves.
