I can't believe Spencer is now 3 months old and Sadie will be turning 4 July 22!!!  My kids are growing before my eyes!!!  Spencer is at such a fun age where he is now starting to recognize things especially mom, dad, and his sister.  He loves to smile, coo, and sometimes even a little laugh especially when he is watching his sister dance for him or reading him stories.  Sadie is still so gentle with him and loves him to pieces this has made the transition to two so easy Sadie is always asking where brother is and always concerned about what he is doing.  Spencer is now sleeping about 7-10 hours at night he takes his binky and a full bottle to get him through the night.  Which has been heaven sent since I went back to work about 1 month ago.  Going back to work was very hard but my kids are so blessed to spend time with grandma/grandpa Woolley and to play with kids one day a week at the babysitter Shyla's house.  Sadie loves to play with friends right now so this time at Shyla's house is sooooo good for her!  Working makes my time with the kids more valuable!!!  I feel so blessed to have the best two kids!!!

Memorial weekend at the Silver King Hotel!!

This year for memorial day we were supposed to go to Moab with neighbors and friends in the ward.  We got all packed up to leave Saturday morning and Friday night we got a text from our friends the Steeles to let us know that it was not a good idea to come down the winds were horrible.  They said their tent was full of sand and it ws just  blowing in your face and in fact broke some of the tents because the winds were so strong. We were sad about that because we were all ready and it was the first memorial day trip we were joining the ward on but we decided with a newborn and Sadies first time camping winds would not be fun.  The weather was horrible every where so we decided to get a condo and stay in Park City at the Silver King hotel and let Sadie Swim her little heart out, and that is exactly what she did!  We pack all the clothes and food for Moab and headed for Park City.  Our clothes selection was tank tops and swimsuits since we were prepared for the warmth but that did not matter because we stayed inside the condo the whole time and watched movies and swam because it was snowing in park city.  Sadie does so well swimming but always takes a little time to adjust to being back in the water but after a short time she was going under the water swimming like a little fish.  This time she liked Eddie and I to throw her to each other and catch her.  Spencer even got in the water for the first time and seemed to like it.  This was such a fun way to spend a weekend of crappy weather together as a family.  We ate all our food that I bought for camping and cooked in the hotel room so we didn't even have to go out for any food!!!  Sadie watched along came polly with us and thought it was the funniest show!!!  My mom and dad also had a condo up there too so they came on Sunday night and had dinner with us and hung out for a while.

My 3 favorite pool rats!!!

The weather was finally nice on Memorial day so went up to the resort center to go on the slide but the line was way to long because of the holiday so Sadie was really good and we took her to get a chocolate at Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory.  She choose a chocolate dipped marshmallow with sprinkles on the top!!!  Yum!!!

After the resort center we headed to the outlet because we told Sadie she could ride those rides instead of  the resort rides because they were much less crowded.  We shopped a bit bought sadie some really cute pink sparkly shoes and then we had to head home for the week!!

Picking out the swimsuits to wear for the weekend!  Yeah for swimming we can't wait to swim a lot this summer with our raging waters passes, Sadie loves the water and especially the slides!!

Sadie's last day of preschool!!

Thursday May 22nd was Sadies last day of preschool and last day with Mrs. Sylvia and Mrs Marcie because Mrs. Sylvia is retiring this year.  We are so sad she is retiring Sadie is going to miss her she loved going to the Sunshine Preschool.  The last day of school was so fun they had an Alice in Wonderland field day and they had stations setup around the backyard with different activities for the kids to play like balls, basketball, ring toss and lots of other things.  Mrs. Sylvia and Marcie made each kid a little scrapbook and on our way home Sadie started to cry and said I am going to miss all my friends soooo much mom, this was so cute.   Sadie grew and matured so much this year with preschool and now can write her name, listen to instructions, and socialized i can't believe how much this girl absorbs from any where she goes.  We loved having her socialize in school this year she was so ready to go and be with friends this year, she has been asking about preschool for about 2 years now.  She even used her tinker bell back pack she got from Santa Clause 2 years ago that she asked for so she could start preschool.  This little girl is too smart for her own good she knew the whole alphabet at about 18 months and remembers things and names like you would never believe.  We are going to miss Mrs. Sylvia but she will start in the fall at another neighborhood preschool with Mrs. Dana Anderson Sadie already has some friends that she knows there.  I am sure she will do great and will be very ready for kindergarten!!!  We are very proud of this girl!!

Summer Fun!!!!!

Biking with Great grandma and grandpa at Liberty Park!!

Today after rushing home from work Eddie had to go to the YM/YW stake dance so the kids and I rushed off and met mom and grandma and grandpa Davis at the liberty park.  We had to hurry put the dinner I had made in the refridgulator (as Sadie would say) and save dinner for the next night and go play instead.  We took Sadies bike and the stroller and rode all over liberty park,  Sadie loved this because it was so flat! What a perfect spot to learn to ride a bike.  Grandama and grandpa walked around and watched the kids and the ducks after grandpa's stroke a couple of weeks ago my mom has been very busy with them trying to make sure they get their pills, meals and get out for walks because they are both having a hard time remembering things.  After playing at the park we went and got ice-cream and burgers at Hires, what a great place to go after playing at the park!!

 This week the kids and I also took dinner to Grandma and Grandpa we took them stuffed peppers and ate with them and made sure they took their pills.  Sadie always loves to play there and Grandma loves to hold Spencer.  I thought they both seemed to be doing a lot better and remembering things more, I love my grandparent so much and I am going to try now to go over every Thursday and bring them lunch and let the kids play with them for a bit!!

Mother's Day 2012!!!

Mother's, grandmothers, and being a mother boy am I so blessed in every department of mother figures in my life!  I am so grateful for especially my own mom for her always being there for me and of course being my best friend in the whole world.  I talk to my mom everyday and she still makes me feel the best and always has the best advice!!!My kids are so blessed to have her in their lives as well, they have the 2 worlds best grandma's kathy and Jeanette- thank you for all you guys have done for them.  Sadie always has a smile on her face when she gets to go to either Grandma Jeanette's or Grandma Kathy's house to play.  

On Mother's day we spent  the morning at church and Sadie got to sing with the primary a mother's day song on what she refers to as the "stage" she was so cute to watch but really had no idea what she was singing!!!  After church we went with the Woolley's for our annual Market Street brunch always a delicious ham and cheese omelette because there is soooo much ooey gooey cheddar cheese on it!  We sat around and ate and talked for quite a while and enjoyed the brunch and wishing jeanette a happy mother's day!!  After brunch we went home for a bit and I played with the kids while Eddie took a nap.  Then we packed up and went out to Nick and Kesha's house for a barbecue we had steak, lobster, shrimp, salad veggies, fruit, and brownies for dessert.  Everything was delicious but 2 meals in a row I was way too stuffed.  After dinner we played outside for a long time the kids jumped on the trampoline that Nick got from a friend.  Sadie loved the trampoline until water balloons got involved and her clothes got wet.  This was sooo funny because Boston and Easton loved getting wet when the balloons popped on them and Sadie freaked out because she didn't want her clothes wet talk about a role reversal.  The evening was so fun and ended with presents.  As kids we gave my mom a juicer, my mom gave us all planter boxes, and we gave grandma some treats.  I made Jeanette a little herb garden for her patio in terra cotta jars since she has no room for a garden!!

Me and my mom,  best friends happy Mother's day!!!

3 generations Grandma Davis, me and my mom Kathy!!

Best mother and grandmother in the whole world!!!

Time for a juice party my mom says!!!

I feel so lucky to be a mother of the two cutest and best kids in the whole world.  My kids are so much fun and Sadie just loves her baby brother.  I can't believe we have 2 now but don't know what life would be like without both of them.  Sadie wished me a happy Mothers day so many times and made me the cutest list of things about your mother in primary!!

Ready set go!!!!

Today we got to start the day off at Gold's Gym in Sandy and met Boston and Easton there for some play time while the mommy's got to workout.  After the gym we went to the old yummy salad bar at sweet tomatoes and the kids loved being able to choose from whatever they wanted!!!  When we were  finished Sadie and Boston were begging to play together so we took Boston to our house and played so that Kesha could get some last minute things done to sell their house!!  On our way home we stopped to rent a red box we rented happy feet and had popcorn.  My stomach hurt and Spencer was asleep so while the kids watch the movie, while mostly just playing downstairs I took a bit of a nap.  I couldn't believe how well they played together!!  When the rain was done and my stomach was feeling better  I took the kids out to Upland Terrace elementary for their summer carnival the kids loved it.  They had bounce houses, games, treat, ticket stores, music, and a play ground.  We played til their hearts content and then sat down and had snow cones.  When we were done they ask when we could go back there again too bad it is only once a year, aren't kids just so cute!!!  Then we went back home and met Nick and Kesha and we went to fat cat/pizza factory and had dinner and played some games.  Boston and Sadie had such a fun day together but by dinner time were kind of battling it out because they had had no naps and been playing full force all day!!!

Sadie is our little dare devil she loves big kids things!!

Both the kids loved this one and it was nice because there weren't so many big kids on it!!

Spencer's Blessing Day May 6, 2012

This week was a very eventful weekend filled with sad/happy feelings.  We had family come in town from Idaho which we always look so forward too!!!  Especially because there is a lot of cousins for sadie to play with!  On Friday I babysat Boston and Easton for a bit while Nick and Kesha went to a movie for his work the kids had so much fun playing together outside and got along really well- playing outside is the best can't wait for summer to do this everyday!  After Tiff , Sandy and kids got in town Tiff and the kids joined us in playing outside the kids were all so happy and played very well.  When Eddie got home from work he did a ton of yard work to get ready for the blessing at our house and he took advantage of the bins being in front of our house!  After playing with the kids outside we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Davis's house and took Rubios over for a late dinner/visit.  When we got there we were all noticing that grandpa was not acting normal and seemed that he was forgetting things which he normally doesn't.  Grandpa had fallen down outside a week ago and thought he had just hurt his knee but everything seemed ok until a few days later.  When we were all there on Friday the kids took grandpa to the hospital he didn't think he needed to go because his knee had been feeling better!  When they took him they had to keep him for a few days and the did an MRI and found that he had a stroke but was doing fairly well but would need to stay a few days.  We all went to visit him in the hospital he was so ready to get out and go home to see grandma they are not good apart from each other.  Grandpa is now doing well but will need some therapy and can't drive possibly forever- he is soooo sad about not driving.  My mom and the kids have been there every night to take care of them and make them dinner and run their errands.  Sandy stayed all week and helped best she could.  The kids are all very exhausted but happy to see grandpa doing pretty well for what he had been through!  

After all this with Grandpa we had a shower at my mom's house for Matt and Mckenzie who are having a baby boy in a few weeks.  The shower turned out wonderful my mom had a lot of help from neighbors and family because she had been at the hospital with grandpa and couldn't get last minute things together. We had the usual chicken salad fruit and artichoke dip delicious this is a family favorite party meal.  They got a lot of wonderful things for this little baby boy and are very excited!  We all chatted all night and the kids enjoyed playing outside.

Sunday since we had so much family in town we blessed Spencer that day.  Eddie had performed such a wonderful blessing he always does a great job with blessings- so many great things he blessed him with!  As a family we are so blessed to have Spencer Calvin Woolley in our lives he has brought us so much joy and happiness we cannot believe.  He is such a good mellow baby and was so quiet during his blessing- unlike his sister who cried her whole blessing!  He looked so handsome on his special day and was also as happy as he always is!  We are so blessed that we got to have so many wonderful priesthood holders in our family join us in the circle for the blessing!  After sacrament meeting we went to our house to have a barbecue we grilled burgers, hot dogs and brats!  We had a picnic with everyone in our backyard and everyone brought yummy dishes and we provided the meat and drinks.  Thanks everyone for making this such a special day for us all.  

What an incredible weekend with all it's ups and downs we all accomplished what we needed to and had some wonderful parties.  Most of all though we missed grandpa while he was in the hospital and especially missed him in the blessing circle!  What a spiritual weekend and the weather couldn't have been better sunny but not tool hot!
