Sadie's 9th Birthday!

My Sadie is now 9 and the cutest 9 year old at that! For her birthday breakfast she wanted pancakes shaped like Minnie Mouse, as you can see Minnie likes the big hair bows just like Sadie!

I just love this little girl and how excited she is over getting new clothes and really enjoys having a special day!

Then as soon as I dropped the girls off at school we headed home to work on Sadie's "big" present! I had been working on sewing new bedding for her room for a couple weeks, I only had the 2 1/2 hours a day when Mr Tate was at school because he isn't that good at keeping secrets. But I was able to get it all sewed and then Kevin took the day off and we started painting her room and I re-did some furniture so we could do a room makeover!!!! We took some before pictures:

And here are the after pictures:

So when I picked the kids up from school I told them all to go clean their rooms and Kevin was waiting in Sadie's room so we could get her reaction! It is a little blurry but her reaction was priceless!!!!!

Then of course we had a birthday dinner with friends and family that could make it! Sadie is a big fan of ribs so Kevin smoked some really good ribs for us :) Emily gave Sadie some delicious cupcakes for her birthday too!!!!

We love you Sadie! :)

Kennedy's 5th Grade Graduation

I am way behind at updating the blog so these aren't in the right orders of our life but that is how we roll around here!!!!  So here is Kennedy's 5th Grade Graduation

This is Kennedy's awesome Teacher Ms. Anderson!  Sadie had her for some after school tutoring and they both loved her!

Last Day of School and Tate's Kindergarten Graduation

We survived another school year and even with moving more than half way through it!!!!  The kids were lucky to make new friends and have GREAT Teachers while at their new school for such a short amount of time! 

And here is Tate's Graduation pictures!!!!  He was super cute and so excited to Graduate :)

This is one of the mom's that came and helped in the class a lot and her name is Tate and she always told my Tate that they were "Tate the Greats!"

 Kennedy starts Middle School, Sadie is going into 4th grade and Tate is going to 1st grade!!!!  

He Finally Lost a Tooth!!!!!!!

Pirate Sadie

Oh I just love this little girl!!!  She is so fun, kind, happy, caring and full of life!  

She loves to perform and loves the spot light (I have no idea where she gets that from)

She had to dress up as a pirate for school and I just think she made the CUTEST pirate EVER!

Getting her to hold still for one pose before I actually get the picture is always a challenge 

but it just makes for some cute pictures!

ARRRRRRRRRRRdorable Sadie :)

Happy Birthday Tate!

So my little guy turned 6 on December 22nd!  Don't you just love that smile :)  We had a birthday party early since his birthday is so close to Christmas.  It had been raining so we had to improvise and play games in the house and keep kids entertained indoors!

Thanks Emily for the AWESOME and DELICIOUS Birthday Cake!!!!!

 Tate Loved having Sarah here for his birthday! 

On his actual birthday we took 3 of his friends from school and went to Del Taco (it was the closest Playland) and had a Birthday lunch!

Happy Birthday Tate!!!!

Sadie's Dance Recital

Sadie loves to dance and had her first dance recital here in St George and she did a fabulous job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadie is a great dancer and I love watching her.  The bad thing was the lighting wasn't that great so half the time she was dancing in the dark:(  But I still enjoyed her cute dancing!
