Sadie's New Pictures

Okay....I know this is a little obnoxious to put all of Sadie's pictures on here, but they were all so cute and I'm a proud mom so why not? And....for those of you who know me, I hardly ever get her pictures done professionally (I do feel guilty by the way) so when I do I need to show them off!
This was an exhausting day which confirmed to me why I don't do this very often. Trying to get her to stay pretty until they were ready for pictures proved to be nearly impossible. Then trying to get her to pose right and smile was exhausting to watch! Those Kiddie Kandid people don't get paid enough in my opinion - what a job! Well, in the end we got some great shots and I'm glad to say that I don't need to do this again for awhile.

An Easter post will be coming shortly....Mike used the "nicer" camera and needs to work on a few pictures before I can do the post. Hey, this is coming from someone who posted Christmas in February remember??? :)

Doesn't she look like a little angel? Don't be fooled! Looks can be deceiving.

My personal favorite. It shows her cute little...or should I say big, personality.

Happy 4th Anniversary!

Four years ago today Mike and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. It actually was a day very much like today....cold and windy! I remember praying very hard that it wouldn't rain or snow - well it didn't rain or snow but it was VERY cold and VERY windy. Next time I will be more specific in my prayers. Despite the weather, I thought it was the perfect day. That is from a girls perspective though, I think Mike would have been happy if it wasn't such a big affair. To me it was the perfect day!
We got married very early in the morning and after freezing to death while getting our pictures taken we had a nice wedding luncheon at the Lion House. That evening we had our reception at "The White Willow" in Provo. I remember being overwhelmed with how many friends and family members came to wish us well.
After that...it was off to Hawaii for 10 days! Despite Mike having a cold we made the best of it and were more than ready to relax on the beach. It was perfect.
Although the wedding in my eyes was just the way I wanted it, I think the thing that was the most perfect was the man I chose to marry or should I say...chose to marry me! We had such a great friendship before getting married that I knew we were starting out on a strong foundation. It has been an eventful 4 years but I wouldn't change anything. Happy Anniversary Babe!

Sadie's First Big Boo-Boo!

Sadie and I were outside enjoying the nice weather on Saturday and apparently mom wasn't watching her as closely as I should have been. I was visiting with my neighbor Nicki and she climbed up on the porch stairs. Usually she is really good about turning around and going backwards down the stairs but this time she decided to just step off like a big girl. I of course saw her step off but by that time it was too late....she did a face plant right onto the concrete. She actually didn't cry that much so I guess she is a pretty tough girl. I felt terrible though - I guess this is just the first of many accidents that will happen and I better get used to it.

This is right after it happened, it doesn't look too bad.
This is a few days later. It definitely looked worse the next day. Poor thing. She was exhausted and fell asleep while eating dinner.

Going to Church

Sadie had her new Spring dress on this particular Sunday and she looked so cute I had to get some pictures of her in it.

So pretty!

"Let's go guys, we don't want to be late!"

It's Never Too Early...

It's never too early to learn how to clean right? I was sick one weekend and my incredibly thoughtful husband decided to do all the cleaning. He was very "lucky" to have a little helper by his side the whole time.

Too bad by the time I really need her help this will no longer be fun.

IT'S A GIRL!

It's official...today we found out that Sadie is going to have a little sister. Mike already predicted it so he didn't seem too disappointed although I'm a little sad for him. It is hard getting a boy in this King family! No grandson's on that side!
I'm excited that Sadie will have a sister and a friend (hopefully) that close in age, it will be fun for mom and challenging for dad. I foresee a lot of fighting over the bathroom and clothes in the distant future and I must say I am NOT looking forward to that, but I am looking forward to more PINK, Dolls, Barbies, trips to the mall, pedicures, manicures and all the girly stuff that comes with it! Those will be fun times!

Everything looked good in the ultrasound although she was unable to get a good view of the heart and face so we will be doing another one in 4 weeks. This little one was exactly like Sadie, curled up in a very tight ball and not willing to budge an inch!!! From what we saw today though, she looks very healthy. Now comes the challenge of finding a name. Wish us luck!

15 Month Stats

Sadie had her 15 month appointment today and she is doing very well. She was unable to get her required vaccinations because she was running a little fever, so we will have to go back for those. Dr. Later was impressed with how bright she is and was especially impressed that she knew so many animal sounds. She now knows what the kitty, dog, snake and cow all say....very impressive if I do say so myself. She continues to be an angel and joy to have around, we couldn't ask for a better little girl with a cuter personality. She has everyone she meets wrapped around her little finger in seconds. She is very social and says "hi" to anyone who passes her way. We have gone on lots of walks the last couple of weeks and she says "hi" to anyone and anything...she even says "hi" to the cats and dogs we see along the way.

Here are her stats:

Weight: 25.68 lbs (87%)

Height: 32.05 in (92%)

Head: 19.5 in (99%)

Big Sister!

Yes that's right! Sadie is going to be a big sister in July! I am due on July 22nd which makes me a little over 16 weeks pregnant. This hopefully explains why I have been so behind on blogging. I have been more sick this time than I was with Sadie but considering I just started my second trimester, I have high hopes that I will start feeling better soon.
Sadie has no idea what is going on yet, but we are excited for the new addition even if I panic a little bit when I really think about it. They will be 20 months apart! What were we thinking? I know we have an eventful summer ahead of us. Wish us luck!

Sadie was playing with Dad's safety glasses and it was so cute I had to put it on here.

Christmas Morning!

Christmas day was fun and very relaxing. Sadie must have been good because Santa brought her lots of fun things. She got a new baby doll, a grocery cart with lots of food to put in it, a Magna Doodle for church, bath toys and lots of cute outfits from Santa, Grandma Karen and Grandma and Grandpa King. She had a fun day playing with all her new things!

Santa made it!

Sadie is slowly but surely figuring out what she's supposed to do with wrapped presents!

Feeding her new baby doll that Santa brought her

Kisses for baby! What a good mommy!

The responsibilities of a mom are never done...off to the grocery store!

This is the cute little outfit that Grandma and Grandpa King got her for Christmas. She's reading one of the books that Uncle Alan, Aunt Dianne and the girls gave her for Christmas. Thank you!

"I'm gonna get you!"

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was at Grandma Karen's this year. Everyone was there which was nice, usually we always have one family missing. We had a great time. We ate wonderful food and then went down stairs and played chimes. We all got a chime with a number on it that corresponded with music of Christmas carols. I think everyone enjoyed it. Then we had Grandma open her presents, watched a movie on Christ and all shared our favorite Christmas memories. It was a fun night.

Lovely girls! Jessica, Madison, Whitney and Chelsey
