Daddy's Girl

There just isn't anything better than watching Tadd with Sadie. Her eyes just light up when he walks into the room or she sees him. He is such a wonderful Daddy. He's so much fun and such a "hands on" Dad. He's been helping out so much with the housework since I've been in school and going crazy. He's the best and I just couldn't do anything without his help. He brings light into my days, my eyes and my heart. We love you Taddy Daddy!!

Grandpa

We had a fun visit with Grandpa Kimbler. He was in Vegas and took a quick trip to say Hi! It was so fun for him to see Sadie and she had a great time with him. (so did we) She snuggled with him to drink her "ba-ba" and then he read some bedtime stories with her.

Father's Day

Yesterday was Taddy Daddy's first Father's Day and it was great! It's been so fun watching him be such a wonderful daddy and to honor him on this day was really special. Sadie gave him a little book about daddy's and daughters that they can read together and a few other little things.

Later, we went to Kevyn's to have some yummy casseroles with the fam. We had a fun time, but the best entertainment ended up being Sadie and Luke! They played for so long with these wooden balls and were soooo excited!! Neither one could keep their mouth closed and Luke even added the all too famous tongue!! Way to go Luke!! We laughed so hard at the two of them and these memories are certainly priceless!!

Mama

Yippee!! It finally happened! 10 1/2 months later Sadie has begun to say ma ma!! She has been saying da da, daddy, dad since she was born it seems. G and D were her first sounds, soooo it's been a while!!

But---with Father's Day here I'm so glad she can look at him and say Daddy!! What a great dad tadd is!! Sadie just adores him, and I do too!

We've been hangin' at the pool the last few days and Sadie has been in heaven!! She just loves every minute of it! Becky and the girls came over to swim today and she couldn't stop watching them, she soaks everything in!

As for me----2 classes down, 2 A's and 2 to go!! ug ug ug---

Yay to Maggie!

Maggie is just the best ever! She posted some pics of Sadie's first swinging experience! I didn't even know she had a camera so this was such a sweet surprise!! Daisy is pushing Sadie in the first pic and then it's Jake and Sadie in the second. We love our cousins!!

Also-- more props to Maggie for the fabulous embroidered Sadie shirt!! A treasure for life!!

Grillin' Out

We enjoyed a little grill fest for dinner last night. Tadd grilled the best pork chops ever, but the very best part was watching Sadie enjoy a little corn on the cob! We had a good laugh and she was the hit for sure!

After dinner was over we cleaned up as a family, and this is a true caption of how the Gunther's do it!!

Swings & Swimming

Tadd & Sadie went up to see Maggie and the kids yesterday. They had such a great time together and Sadie had her first swinging experience. Tadd told Daisy to just be slow with her, but the higher and faster the swing got the more Sadie loved it! Tadd said he's never heard Sadie laugh so hard! I'm so glad Maggie got to see what a rad baby girl we have!

Later that night we had a little family bonding time at the pool. Sadie just LOVES her floaty tube. She just laughs and laughs and thinks it's so much fun! Although she doesn't laugh as hard as she did on the swing! She also looks pretty cool in her little sunglasses!

Summer Dayz

Wow! What a crazy week it has been!! Tomorrow will be the last day of my Children's Literature class and then I will have 1 1/2 classes completed. This one was pretty intense for sure, but I learned soooo much!

Major props to Taddy Daddy for making it all possible. I truly have the best husband ever.

Also, a big THANKS to Brielle for tending Sadie girl. Looks like they all had a great time! Molly & Sadie are so dang cute together! I had to "pirate" this pic from Brielle's blog so I hope it shows up!

More Firsts

Today we had our Billie over to eat Sunday Dinner with us. As we got ready for prayer Tadd said "Sadie fold your arms." And SHE FOLDED HER ARMS!!! Oh-my-crazy!!! She has never-ever folded her arms before, so she sat there during the prayer for a few minutes with her little arms folded!!

Of course it could be a total fluke, which it probably is......but it was great. We just all looked at eachother with wide eyes and continued on with the prayer! These are the moments that make life complete. I so love being a mommy!

First Haircut

I'm beginning to realize that this may just become a Sadie Blog!! It seems that she is what happens to be interesting these days!

Today was Sadie's First Haircut!! We only cut about an 1/8 of an inch off, but I still saved her precious locks for her baby book! I heard that if you cut their hair it will help it grow in thicker. It was starting to look a little straggly on the ends. I've been putting it off because the tips/ends of her hair are jet black. It's her newborn hair and a part of me just wanted to keep it there forever!! But I'm all about a healthier set of hair I guess.

We had the camera all ready to document our big undertaking......but it seemed as though no one had a free hand!! It took all we had to get her to sit still long enough to make one little snip at a time! But she was a good girl, and amazingly enough her hair curled under at the bottom! Really strange---but cute!!
