Family Picture Day

We had our pictures done by Margie Turner. She did a great job! We went to a few places in Salina and finished right before it started raining. Her grandson Dylan was with and he was so entertaining! We had a few pictures taken with him but I can't seem to find them on my computer. Brady had fun with him and Dylan was sure to entertain us. I like this picture of us and am trying to except that I just have squinty eyes and there isn't a lot I can do about it.


Sadie LOVES pumpkins! Whenever she sees one she has to try and pick it up.

I just love her!


This is one of my favorites!



Awe I love my cute Family!


Mom has always been worried about having a picture for her obituary just in case something happens =) She is funny. But I love this picture of her. My mom is my best friend and I couldn't imagine life without her. I hope she knows how much Brady, Sadie and myself appreciate everything she does for our family. I hope to one day have the same relationship with Sadie as I have with my mom. LoVe YoU!

Smile
















Today I was uploading some pics from a friends wedding and started going through some of Sadies old pictures. I can't believe she is already 16 months old! She is getting so big and independent. Brady and I we talking about how we are crazy because we are just getting to a stage where she doesn't need our undivided attention, no more bottles and sleeping all through the night, and now we are getting ready to start all over again... I am trying to get a better attitude and after getting more IV fluids yesterday I am feeling a little better. I will share some of the pics that brought a smile to my face today =)

Guilt

Forwarning: This post is basically me whining
Today I am 11 weeks pregnant and I am FREAKING out. I don't think its due to the fact that I am pregnant that I am freaking out, but more the effects of being pregnant. I HATE morning sickness! bleh I thought last time this was hard but boy was I wrong. Last time I just had the guilt of not entertaining my poor husband. This time I am having the struggle of trying to entertain him and my 16month old daughter. This is not going over well. There is also the guilt of not spending enough time with Sadie girl and then the time when I am with her I am not fun mommy, I am grouchy vomiting mommy who is always on the verge of tears. Sadie is also getting her molars in so the last few days have not been at all pleasant. She has also decided that she does not need a nap and throws these fits that I could never imagine that "my sweet precious baby girl" could ever do. Not to mention getting her to bed at night has also been a nightmare. Meds in her and she throws another fit that I have no idea whats wrong, I don't know if she is hurting or what but I panic thinking is she hurt is she sick, then the logical side of me says she is just throwing a fit and it will pass but the guilt of maybe something is wrong does not pass.
I have guilt that I wish April would hurry and get here but then think that's not fair because I am wishing away Sadies littleness. I am envious of people here at work with their new babies and think boy I wish I could have mine now. But then I dream that I am not grateful for this wonderful gift that I have been given so there is an irrational fear that it will be taken away. I feel bad because I should be so happy to feel this YUCKY.
I also have guilt because I know that I need to become an active member of our church. I believe it but it is so hard to get my butt there on Sunday mornings when I am struggling to even function. Not to mention that the thought of trying to wrestle Sadie the whole time while trying to control the nausea is terrifying. I also know that I am just making an excuse and just need to go.
If anyone reads this know that I know I am losing my mind and at this point I think I am OK with it. Prozac anyone?

This is my sweet Sadie Jade. She is 15 months old and is into EVERYTHING. Brady has been teaching her to throw her hands in the air when he yells touchdown! Its their new favorite trick. She also can show you that she is 1, give kisses, blow kisses, and she loves to show everyone where her bellie button is. She is growing way to fast. I love you!

Ok so I am just learning how to do this... hopefully I will learn quick!
