Happy 3rd Birthday Sadie!!

I can't believe my baby girl will be 3 tomorrow. Wow!, how time flies. This is a small compilation of pictures from over the last 3 years. I have LOTS more but these were the few I picked. It's hard to think about Sadie being in my tummy 3 years ago (right now) and seeing her sweet face for the first time. Words cannot describe the vast amount of love that I feel for her. She has opened my heart in ways that I never knew were possible. Happy birthday Sadie Rose. You are loved so much by so many people. You are my sweet little sunshine.

HAPPY FATHER"S DAY!!!!

Here are the most recent pictures of our cute Sadie. She gets cuter and Sillier by the minute. Adam Got offered a position at Shands!! Yay! I am so happy for him and proud of him. He starts on July 25th. He will be working 8-5 Monday to Friday with paid holidays and weekends off. FINALLY!! The only down side is that our trip that we had planned in September to Hawaii will have to be pushed back 6 months (booo). Luckily that can be done and luckily we are doing it for a fantastic reason. New Shands employees are not allowed to used vacation time for the first 6 months of employment. So, 6 months is like February 2012 and our 5 year wedding anniversary is May, so somewhere in there we will go. Other than that things are moving along. Work for me is insane and one of the other Portfolio Managers quit so I will be taking over the majority of her properties until after our busy season (August). This means I will be managing about double the properties (owners and tenants too!). This summer is going to be INSANE for me. Hopefully it will go by fast. Just trying to look forward to Sadie's 3rd (can't believe it) birthday and Adam starting his new job.

Today was a pretty good father's day. My dad is out of town so I didn't hear back from hinm until about 9:45 tonight and I wished Tommy a happy father's day via the phone. We did go over to Adam's parents house for a bar b que and swimming. It was so much fun. We ended up watching old home movies of the boys. It was hilarious. I made a homemade ice cream cake with devil's food cake, boaroo buzz ice cream, devils food cake and cool whip on top. It was yummy!

Today (earlier) we went out to the Waldo flea market and got this old shutter for free! We cut off the center bar and mounted it on the wall. Now we have a cool mail center. I love purposing things! You can't really see it in the picture, but it's all old and weathered. I LOVE it. I have a couple of other projects in my pocket right now, but we'll save those for later...

Pool Party!

Had a great Memorial Day! Swam in our pool twice today and just hung out. Gigi and Grandaddy came over and we grilled burgers and hot dogs and ate delicious cupcakes!! It was a great day.

Back to work and school tomorrow!

On the move

Things have been crazy for me lately. Work has been insane! We had the full time person that works at Cricket Club II (the girl who took my old job) quit, so I have been back and forth covering over there as well as my regular Portfolio Manager job. I have been working 50+ hour weeks and am exhausted every night. Anyhow, it's been a little nutty and I haven't really had the energy to post. On the upside, we have found a replacement for my replacement and she starts Tuesday. So, I will be training her next week and after that, hopefully I can just concentrate on doing one job (and just in time for turn!).

Since things have been a little crazy lately, I decided to take a PTO day this past Friday so I could have a 4 day weekend. Friday I basically worked from home catching up without interruptions. Saturday Sadie and I played and went to the museum, today we went swimming and went grocery shopping. Tomorrow will be another laid back day.

The pics I posted are from my phone. Since I always have it with me, I usually get quite a few pics on there that never make it to the blog. Also, since we haven't been doing as much family stuff the last month, I don't have any new pictures on the camera! Hmmm...what have we done lately?

Adam and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary (**dreamy smile**), we have been doing work on the house (ah, home ownership) like the roof, replacing AC parts, siding work (it was dry rotted). We have been asking Sadie what kind of party she wants for her birthday (Mickey Mouse or Curious George) and pretty much just trying to hold on to each other as much as possible. We have been riding our bikes a lot. Sadie has been LOVING her trailer and we go as many places as possible on our bikes. Once I am back at one office all the time, I am going to go back to riding my bike to work, I'm excited about that.

Other than that, there is not much else to say. Sadie is great, she is as sassy as ever. I cut her hair again this year. She is starting to get very independent about doing things on her own and does not like me to do anything to her hair. She was going home to school with her hair pulled back and brushed and coming home with gobs of questionable sticky stuff in her hair. So... I cut her hair. Yes, I cut her hair. It actually looks pretty cute. Everyone has said she looks adorable, so I guess I did okay.

I would also like to take a minute to say thank you to my family members (Papa, Grandaddy J,Uncle Ron, Aunt Dona, Uncle David) and everyone else out there who are or who have served our country. It takes an amazing sacrifice to do that. Thank you!

I'm going to go enjoy my hubby and a good movie!

Sadie Lady

Just wanted to post this silly girl picture of Sadie. So totally adorable!

swinging into spring

Sadie had a fun time at the park this weekend. My friend Jenn and her little boy Connor came over and played with Sadie and I. Connor is going to be 1 on July 1st and is so adorable.

Other than that it has been a pretty slow laid back weekend. Sadie has been playing with her baby dolls a lot lately. She puts them in this high chair and lays out all her plastic foods and "feeds" them. It's so cute.

I am so ready to go to the beach. I am hoping maybe next weekend. I need to taste that salty air! The weather is perfect for the beach. Hopefully it will be hot and clear next weekend! Looking forward to another week of work and school.

Funfilled!!

Well, things have been busy lately and I haven't had time to blog!! The past couple of weekends have been pretty packed. This weekend was mostly laid back though. 2 weekends ago we went to Silver Springs and spent the night at Mama and Papa's house. It was great visiting with them but Silver Springs was a little disappointing. Last weekend Sadie and I went to Uncle Donald's farm in Lady Lake with Poppa (my Dad) Grandma Carrie, Grandpa Chuck (Carrie's Dad) and Jean (Chuck's lady). Sadie got to see a bunch of farm animals, peacocks and even cougars. Her favorite were the cats walking around (she loves kitties). On Sunday Adam, Sadie, Gigi Granddaddy and I went to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Sadie didn't really like the rides but she really liked seeing the characters. After we spent some time at Magic Kingdom, we went over to Epcot and did the world showcase. It was nice to walk around and enjoy the weather. My frozen lemonade was good too! Hopefully one weekend soon we will go to the beach, I'm definitely ready for that...

Not much else going on. Sadie is still really happy at school. Always comes home talking about her friends. She is such a little chatterbox, I LOVE it. She has these cute black patent leather shoes that she loves to wear around the house. She always goes on the tile and shuffles and "taps" in them. She'll say "Mommy, I'm tapping". I see some tap lessons in her future! I've been jamming out on my piano some and I am so happy to have it in our new home.

Work is great, busy, but great. I love it. Adam's work is good, he's been pretty busy too but good.

Life in the Shugan house is just moving right along, one day at a time...

Shiny, happy Sadie

We went to Ikea today and got the leaf canopy I had been wanting to get since before I had Sadie!! We don't go down there very often and it seemed every time I went, they were always out of it. FINALLY!! Sadie loves it and it looks so cute in her room. I may lower it a bit, but it's fine for now.

As you can see from her pictures, Sadie wore her big girl undies today. No, not all day, only for about 30 minutes. But, she told me to "change her diaper" when she had to go pee pee. She held it and went in the potty!! Big step. She was so proud of herslef for being in her big girl (Yo Gabba Gabba) panties that she was dancing around. I figured this is probably it for being able to post cute panty pictures, so I'd better do it now.

Also, Sadie has been dressing up in one of my old play slips from when I was little. She loves to wear it around with her tiara and play. She is so funny.

Yesterday we went to Jerilyn's 4th birthday party and saw family and had a good time. Mellina is pregnant so there will more birthday parties to go to soon! I can't believe Jerilyn is 4 and that in a few months, Sadie will be 3!! Time flies.

Well, back to work tomorrow. I'm finally starting to get used to this new job. It's fun but challenging at times. I like the people I work with and we have a fun time. Plus, I found out that in October Aaron takes the Portfolio Managers (Daisy, Bredna and me) and the Operations Manager to a conference. Last year they went to Seattle, this year I think it's Dallas! Hope everyone has a great week!

The cow says...

Sadie went out to the "country" on Monday and saw some new baby cows. Tommy's parents are taking care of a neighbor's land and the calf's mother wouldn't feed her, so, they were bottle feeding her. I was at work but Adam took her and said she had a great time. Everyone is doing really well. We are settling into our house nicely and planning some things that we want to do. I'm busy with my new job/promotion and learning lots of new stuff. Hopefully we will get to take a nice day trip this weekend. Enjoy the new pics! Oh...I found out I am going to be an aunt again! My younger sis, Mellina and her boyfriend are expecting. Congrats to them.
