Sadie's Party #4 at the Carousel

Sadie's 4th and final birthday party took place at the City Park Carousel. Although B's third birthday at the Carousel was a bummer since she couldn't be there, we tried a party there again. Luckily Sadie was healthy, the weather was beautiful, and we had a great turn out. The cake was amazing as usual and the carousel horse cookies were perfect (thank you, Momma Lady and Grandpa!). Sadie was all about Peter A and wanted him to hold her the whole time. When I picked her up and brought her to the cake table she may have said to me, "I don't want you." But I know I am not nearly as much fun as Uncle Peter! :) She blew out the candles and loved her cake and she loved seeing her family and friends. It was a great party!

Sadie's Party #3 at Jama's

We celebrated Sadie and Calli's birthdays at Jama's. Sadie specially requested gumbo and instead of a cake she wanted a chocolate mouse. Thanks to everyone for her fabulous presents!

The Beach/ Sadie's Party #2/Mother's Day

On the night before Sadie's birthday the girls and I headed for the beach with Marme, Attie, Katie, Lawson, and Penny. We grabbed PJ's for the road and got there without stopping once! The condo was very nice and we unpacked the car and crashed. The next morning we went to the beach and stayed there all day. Peter and Beau came in town in the afternoon with lots of groceries. Thanks, boys! We ordered pizza from Lillian's (yum) and celebrated Sadie's birthday with Bee Sweet Cupcakes. Saturday was a full beach day and the boys cooked a fabulous taco dinner on Saturday night. The next day was Mother's Day and the ladies hopped in one car and the boys took the little ones home. We shopped till we dropped. The boys were home by 2 and we didn't get home till 8. It was a great trip and we hope to do it every year!

We asked Betsy what she was doing and she said, "Relaxing."

Sadie's Bday Party #1 at Bee's

After the Zephyrs game we went to Bee's house to celebrate Sadie's birthday. We ate a delicious dinner and Sadie just loved her chocolate (her favorite) and hot pink cake! Thanks, Bee and Gumbo!

Baseball Game

On May 1, the ASH Nursery class sang the National Anthem at the Zephyrs baseball game. The girls practiced at the field and they were ready on game day. They did a fantastic job despite the sweltering heat! Go, girls! We were so proud of our Betsy. Thanks to all of the family who came out to support her!

Happy Birthday, Sadie!

Happy Birthday, little Sadie. You are getting so big. You love your big sister so much and if she leaves your site you quickly run up to us and ask, "Where Betsy?" And every week day after school you ask, "Where Daddy?" dozens of times until your Daddy gets home. You are such a good momma to your baby dolls and your panda bear. When you tell me "you are my best friend" it makes me want to cry. You love to tell Mommy and Daddy "I love you sooo much." You say "pee-cawz" for "because" and it's the cutest thing ever. You say "yittle" (little) and "jank you" (thank you). You love to eat plain spaghetti, plain rice, broccoli, feta cheese, bread, blueberry muffins, and you are starting to like salad "cuz it's like a leaf" and cucumbers. Whenever you mention Lawson's name she says, "Lawson my cousin." Your hair is super blonde and it's getting long. You love to help me cook and help me unload the dishwasher. You love playing with the magnets on the fridge. You like your bed stuffed with books and dolls and "sleepy animals" every night. You love to be held even though you are a big three year old. I'll never forget three year old you, Sadie Boo. We love you so so much.
