Suger and Spice and Everything Nice...

Here is mommies little helper in the kitchen! we love baking and cooking dinner together. She even knows when things are hot.. she say "ott! ott!" As soon as mommie gets her sewing machine back she is making an apron saiges size!!! Little girls are just to much fun!

Spagetti...ohhhh!

Well this is what saige loves about spagetti... the big mess! By the time we were done eating our dinner it was everywhere! In her eyes, hair and even her ears! She looked so cute.


Mommies favorite thing is the clean up... I love playing with her in the bath.. this time daddy was playing and mommie was taking pics! Here is Saiges new face! that was a good one!
Out little girl is all grown up now..
Loving her bath!

After her bath all ready in her favorite jammies.. Elmo! She picked them out that night.

Family Matters

well this weekend was so fun! we went to my parents house to celebrate my little brother Noahs 14th birthday! wow! Now that is crazy. I remember when he was just a little baby and i used him as my baby doll. Good ole days! He has always been my little bud. I'm so proud of him! Out of all of us kids he is the most steadfast in the gospel. Even though he is my little brother, I admire and look up to him so much! Lets just cross our fingers and hope he keeps it up! While we were there my other sweet brother Sam had a new toy... a camera. As you can see he liked to use it! We didn't mind because these are really one of the only pics we have of ourselves and also family pics with saige! Thats pathetic! I want a new camera! I'm jealous of Sam! His camera is sweet! He also took some random funny pics of little miss Saige! Shes so goofy! She is doing this thing where she sucks in her lips. It looks so flippin funny! We where cracking up! This past weekend we also went to the camper again so that Drew, the handy man that he is, could fix the leak in the roof! well... He found it and fixed it! yeah! That made my mom very happy! We laughed a ton and really enjoyed being with the fam! We also got to talk to my bro Jared who is on his mission in San Fransico Cal. Ya we weren't supposed to but a family in his ward suprised him with having us on speaker phone when he got to their house for dinner! It was so nice to hear his voice! he's so cute...the whole time he kept saying "Leah, I'm not supposed to be doing this!" It was great even though it was only a minute! we sure miss our Uncle Jared!


Here is the new face!

Kitty Kartin

Our new kitten Leon sure does love his big brother milo! Its so fun to watch them play. I have to figure out how to put video on here. We have some good ones!

P.S.

Saige has learned to pray! It is the sweetest thing ever! She folds her arms and bows her head and says "da, da, da, da". So sweet. Out of everything we say she understands we our talking to our Heavenly Father! Man little kids are amazing! She stuns us more and more everyday! Love it!

Beach Buisness

Ok, so here is something I need to complain about... the beach and parking. Yesterday Drew, Sam, Katlynne and I went to the beach, ya so it might have been stupid since it was a saturday but we didn't know it would be as bad as it was! The parking was ridiculous!! We seriously drove around for over a half hour looking for a stupid spot! Everywhere was no parking signs or cars! what ticked me off even more was that people were getting spots that had just showed up! We were there forever driving around trying to get a spot, not even a good spot at that! Man, it was frustrating! But, of course my dear sweet husband dropped us off at the board walk so we wouldn't have to walk and parked himself! It was a great day and perfect to lay out!! Poor little Saige got a little more color then expected but she was a trooper! Note to self...Put sun screen on before you leave the house so while your eating pizza for 10 minutes in the sun you dont fry the skin of your 1 year old! she wasn't that bad, but still it made me sad! Needless to say, our happy little girl sure did love the beach! she really loved sams beach chair! It was cute because while Drew and I would be lying on our backs she would copy us and do the same! I'll tell ya what...beside the wrestling at church, I love this age! Saige just copies everything we do. She tries to copy what we say too! Man, she sure is a doll! Well here are just a few pics of our awesome day! We're so bad and need to take way more pics next time! Some family shots maybe??

Our little beach babe!

Here she just layed down next to drew. It was cute!
Oh... the faces she makes!

she loved these chairs... her butt kept getting sunk into it!
We just love the piggy tails!

Yes this last pic is bad but it was the only one with the three of us in it... We finally cut Drews hair off a little too short this time! haha and mine is ugly red...both will be fixed in less then a week (drews grows, mine dyes). Saige looks beautiful as always!

saige playin

here are just a few fun pics for the grandparents and the uncles on missions... and anyone else! haha we just got a new kitten for our cat to play with.. we also bought a new cat box for them. saige sure thought it was fun! it was brand new so yes, it was clean! ;) the next pics are what saige looks like after daddy gets her ready for bed! drew is so funny! he gets a kick out of dressing saige all weird to make me laugh! this outfit was just to funny! she looks like a soccor player! saiges new thing is bags. anything with a handle she loves to put on her shoulder and carry around like a big girl. she found that macys bag and put a bunch of things in it. then she went to the door like "see ya mom! i'm going out for a night on the town!" so cute! so my new thing is buying her purses. everywhere i go i look for little purses. she just looks to cute carrying them! ( thanks to Danika! she shared her purse with saige when we were in Utah). so that man in those next pics is my grandad! he is so funny! he loves his kittys and grand daughter! the two things that make him smile! when we bought the new kitty we let him name it. for those of you who don't know it, he has demenia. so to ask him to name it was very funny. everytime we ask what his name is the name is different. here are a few examples of what he thought of, Tom, garfield, motor (cause the kitty purrs alot), those are the ones i remember.

home repairs

well here is some of the pics from our bathroom we just gutted and redid. It was a bad two weeks but it is finally complete and looking beautiful! here are some pics.. we ripped everything down to the studs! dust was over everything in the entire house! gross!
