My little Dancer!!

Sadie has loved coming down to the Dance studio when I teach since before she could walk. Lance has always played music with the kids and they have loved to dance with us since they were small as well and they both just start Dancing as soon as they hear music, it's so cute! So the other day my Mom bought Sadie her first pair of Tap shoes!

Sadie has seriously not taken them off since she got them and if I would let her she would wear them to bed! Each morning when she wakes up she will ask me for her "Taps" that is what she calls them. She even wanted to wear them to the store the other day when her and I were having our girl shopping day. Sawyer is always trying to take them and put them on ( I mean come on why should she have all the fun) but as soon as he even gets close to them she freaks and starts yelling at him to get away from them! So on Sunday when Sawyer was sick Lance stayed home with him while I went to my parents and had our weekly Sunday family dinner and my Mom and I had Sadie down in the studio and I got these cute pictures of her and a video. And I can not for the life of me figure out how to turn the video, my computer just keeps telling me I can't do it. So I will still mess with it and try and fix it and then post it in another post. And next time I will video it the right way! My mom also gave her a little Leotard and so next time we are in the studio I will have to dress her up in that and take some pictures to share and then I will hopefully have the video figured out by then as well. :)
So here are a couple of the pictures that I took of her. I just love my girly girl!!

Our Valentine's Day fun!!

We had a fun day together on Valentine's day and I think the kids enjoyed having Daddy home with us too! We went to my parents house for dinner and goodies and hung out there for the day and then Lance had the next day off from work for Pres. Day and so we went and bought ourselves a new bedroom set for our gift to each other! We have never had a bedroom set that we had bought together since we have been married. We have just been using my stuff that I had before we were married and so it was nice to get something new and I love it! I will post some pictures of that later.

Here are the kids in their Vday shirts, Sadie had just woken up so she was a bit out of it for pictures.. But still cute!

Sadie and Daddy

Sawyer and Mommy

Sawyer was not happy that he had to take more pictures, so he was super grumpy in this one. He even wanted his bink which he normally does not care to much about during the day.

And my sweet little girl.

We took the kids to do their first Build a Bear for their Valetine's Day present and they loved them and have slept with them every night since.

And here is the traditional family photo that I make us all take every holiday! Sadie was getting annoyed and was trying to escape.

A miracle story for sure!!!

My friend is friends with this family and when I heard about their story it made me hug my kids a lot tighter! Their little boy is just a few months younger than my kids and this story just made me cry! Check it out and have some tissue handy because it will make you cry. This little boy is such a miracle!!

♥ Sadie and Sawyer's 18 month pictures ♥

We finally got Sadie and Sawy's pictures back and I am really happy with them! After all the crazy day we had trying to get pictures done at a new place since Kiddie Kandid's is no longer and having our appointment a hour late since they were so busy and then trying to get Sawyer to even sit still and not cry they ended up turning out really good I think! Glad it's over with till their 2 year pictures. It's a lot of work! haha. Sawyer was just fine until the photgrapher started getting things set up and then he knew what was going to happen and he started freaking out and being really clingy to Lance and started crying to where his face got all red! I thought great after all this and trying to find a new place to take pictures since Kiddie Kandid's went out of business and I didn't want to take pictures outside since it was cold I was worried he would not let us take any of him. Sadie on the other hand loved it and was all smiles! She had probably 20 shots of her and I wanted all of them. But since Sawyer was being shy I decided to choose the close up of both of them so they would look the same on my wall! Sawyer was trying to escape in most of the pictures of the two of them and so he is slowly sliding off the boxes she was having them sit on and so he looks a bit shorter than Sadie, but hey, he is smiling and that's all I care about!! haha

He is also sitting on Lance's lap in his single, but you wouldn't be able to tell unless you knew it. He just would not let Lance go and so the girl said well maybe you should just sit with your legs stretched out and have him sit there and we will have him throw a ball to us and see if we can get him to laugh and sure enough he loved that and we got a cute smile out of him and she was able to just crop Lance out! I was glad we got one of him smiling. So anyway here they are. Enjoy!
