Yearbook Yourself

I had way too much fun on yearbookyourself.com (and spent way too much time making these pictures. Sadie looks like a little old lady! Levi is cute as ever.

I love the hair. I must be using a "bump it" to get that volume.

Andy looks just like his brother Phillip here.

First Steps

In the past two weeks or so we noticed Sadie standing on her own more.
And we saw her taking leaps between pieces of furniture and across her crib. She gets so excited and sometimes falls down laughing! Then it happened. One step turned into 4, then to 10. Now she can go across the room (which you know isn't far if you have been to our house.) She still prefers to crawl, but is chosing to walk more often lately. As I am typing she is pulling the pillows off the couch onto the floor and "falling" and rolling on them. I wonder who taught her that!?! LEVI! Monkey see, Monkey do!

August Rush

The happy couple--Liz and Kurt Wagstaff! There is a creek that runs along the side of our church's property. They climbed down a steep slope to get this picture, but it was worth it!I was a bridesmaid so Andy had to wrangle the kids during the ceremony and most of the reception (and get the kids dressed and to the church- not to mention watch them for the shower and rehersal the week before--Yes, he is pretty amazing!) All the girls got to pick their own dress (with a few rules- any shade of blue, knee length-ish, no sleeves) and we really looked nice together!

The fam.

Crawling down the isle.

I call this one "junk in the trunk" because we really think Sadie has a big bottom!

Levi insists on wearing long pajamas but it has been too hot for that lately. I wanted him to sleep in an undershirt and underpants but he didn't want to. To make it sound like better idea I told him that he would be like his Uncle Shaun. He now calls this his "Uncle Shaun Shirt." (I actually have no idea what Uncle Shaun sleeps in, but I won't tell Levi that!)

We found that dragging the kids on a towel across the kitchen floor can be a whole evening of fun. It is so amazing how the simple things really are the best!

Family Camping

Our cabin at Rock Mountain Bible Camp. Pretty nice! There were bunk beds but the two bottom ones could be put together to make a double bed.

Testing out the bed.

A nice little lake!

The tiny speck on the water is Andy and Levi in a canoe.

S'mores!

I told Levi to sit on the rock so I could take his picture. He proceeded to pose about 10 different ways. When I said that we were all done taking pictures he said, "Aww cute."

The snack shop. This may have been Levi's favorite part of camping!

Nature hike.

Camp donuts.

When we pulled into the driveway Levi was OUT! He had a rough ride home. We took some winding back roads and he got sick!

525,600

Sadie was born 525,600 minutes ago!

Singing "Happy Birthday" Levi blew out the one candle.

BeforeDuring After.
Opening a gift (with a lot of help from Levi. He is a pro at this by now)
I was video taping and my camera ran out of memory half way through the song! Boo! At least you can see a little bit!

First Birthday Photo Shoot

Sadie's pretty pillowcase dress that Aunt Erin made. Getting a lot of hair in the back!

Trying to get the camera.
