First Taste of Dirt...Mmm

I took Sadie outside this afternoon to play and take some pictures. Before long she discovered the dirt and, of course, had to taste it. So, here you go. Mersadie ~ my precious little girl eating dirt. Yum.

Hmm...is this chocolate?

"whoa, that's not what I expected. it looked like chocolate to me."

"how do I get it out?"

This face was not because of the dirt, but I thought it fit mighty nicely in the sequence.

Dirty and snotty. Where's the sugar and spice?

Mersadie's Early Birthday Party!

WARNING: THIS IS A VERY LONG PICTURE POST

Okay, so I couldn't help myself and I put a ton of Sadie's 1st Birthday pictures on this post. Even though Mersadie won't turn 1 for 2 more weeks, we took advantage of the time that we were in MO with my family to throw her a party. She had a great time and we were so glad to have been able to visit everyone! Enjoy the pics!

Sadie was eyeing down her presents before the party even started!

She really wanted to open one.


How can you say no to those eyes?

My Aunt Lois made Sadie's birthday cakes! They matched the paper plates perfectly!

Sadie wasn't sure what to think of the cake.

She didn't want to eat any of the cake, but she sure did want to share it with me!

I think she was trying to tell us that she was done with the cake. The boredom is written all over her face.

"Seriously, guys, what's the big deal?"

We've been sooo busy!

I know, I know. It's seems to have been an eternity since I have last posted. Like any other thing in my life, I have an explanation. Busy. Yep, if you can believe it, we have been busy. After my mom left in April I posted the pictures of Sadie's room and then I seemingly fell off the face of the earth for the past 3 weeks. Well, I'm baaaack!

My aunt and uncle came out to Cali for a conference at the very beginning of May and I have some way way cute pictures of Sadie to post - but they are on my computer at home and I am in K.C., MO at the present moment so you will have to wait for those.

In the meantime, here are some pictures from Mother's Day, Brian's graduation (Master's Degree), time with Grandma and Grandpa Moore and more! Enjoy and come back after Saturday to view the way cute pictures of Sadie with my aunt.

Also, we had a birthday party for Sadie on Saturday (she'll actually turn 1 June 8th, but we were in K.C. with family and couldn't resist throwing her a party) and I have to sift through the hundreds of pictures to find the best ones to post. I'll try tomorrow. In the meantime, just know that we are alive and well!

Sadie and I are so proud of our graduate! All the long hours and hard work paid off!

Me and the little one who made Mother's Day a reality for me!

Grandma Moore and Mersadie

Brian was bouncing Sadie on our bed at the hotel and she was lovin' it!

You can just hear the "pomp and cirumstance" playing in the background.

Woo Hoo - He's done (or is he?). Do we see a doctorate in our future?
