Sadie is 2!!!!!! March 26, 2010

So its been a long time since I have blogged..you probably noticed anyway its been a very fun and busy month. So Sadie's birthday was a blast! She got two birthday parties!! I guess that's what you get when you turn 2! The first one was in Idaho. My family planned a mini party for her when we went up for spring break. We went bowling and then went to Kayla and Adam's clubhouse and had pizza and then sang happy birthday and had cake and ice cream. Then we opened presents and played and went home! It was a blast!


All of the grandkids bowled. It was so funny to watch all of them. In the end I won everyone again. I always win .


This is the clan. Troy, Jandy, Daeson, Tevan, Adam, Kayla, Adalynn, Mieley, Tora, Grandma G, Jayedyn, Mom, and Kaden. Heidi and Dad were on there way to Kentucky so they couldn't make it.

The grandkids having fun.

This is when we sang Happy Birhtday to Sadie... she really liked the attention.

So, I thought it was way awesome that Jandy just decided to make Sadie a birthday cake. Jandy is really talented at making cakes as you can see. She made this for Sadie. It turned out awesome and tasted even better. Thanks Aunt Jandy!

This is Sadie opening up presents. She got a really cute car toy from Daeson and Tevan. Grammy got her a beautiful dress. Grandma G got her a card and moola. Thanks so much everyone for celebrating with us!

As you can see she was a very happy girl.

Party #2... So then all the Shermanators came to Salt Lake City and we had a big party here. Its so fun to celebrate with her cousin Lauren who also turned 2 on the exact same day!! Their births were only a couple of hrs apart. So its been fun to celebrate their bdays together. This is their birthday cake that I got at the bakery by our house. I thought it was cute.

I picked it up early in the morning and all day Sadie wanted so bad just to touch it and lick it.. Fortunately it made it to the party with only one finger mark on it. :)

Sadie had a delicious birthday breakfast. I made her pancakes, bacon and eggs her favorite!

After breakfast we all went to the swimming pool at the hotel they were staying at and went swimming! It was a blast!

Aunt Tracy and Sadie swimming like fishes

The two birthday girls swimming.. they both loved swimming so much they were very sad to get out of the pool!

Daddy and birthday girl

So Uncle Cullin and Todd decided it would be fun to throw Sadie in the air to each other. .. I thought Sadie would cry but she actually loved it!! She went way high too.

Grandpa and the two birthday girls!

Ryker had a blast as well... He loved to jump off the side of the pool with Andrew and Austin.

After the pool we went to Chuck E cheeses and played games. Then we came to my house and ate pizza and had cake and ice cream and then opened presents! Sadie got a cute outfit and p.j's and a toy from Grandma and Grandpa Sherman. She got a cute outfit from Aunt Tassi and Uncle Tony. She got a really cute outfit and dress and bowling toys from Uncle Cullin and Aunt Tracy. Then she got a cute fuzzy teddy bear from Aunt Nicole and Uncle Tyrell. Then she got colored bubbles and a cute outfit from Aunt Terra and Uncle Peter. Then Aunt Elise got her a toy and a cute fuzzy duck. It was SO fun! Thank you everyone for the awesome gifts.

Then we just didn't want to stop partying so we put a movie on for the kids while the adults ate fried chicken, popcorn, veggie tray, soda and chips and salsa and played card games. It was so fun! I am so grateful for our families and the love and support they have always shown to my family. Love you all!

Moab Trip March 4-6

Every spring we go to Moab to enjoy the nice warm weather and to have a little break. This year we went because Todd had a radiochemistry class that wanted to collect uranium rocks. We went down Friday and came back Sunday.. It was a blast!

This is us getting to the hotel. The moment we got there the kids saw the swimming pool and wanted to swim so we suited up and went to go swimming but the heater on the pool was broken so we weren't able to go.. bummer.

The first day there Todd went to the Energy solutions site to learn about their operation site in Moab. The kids and I chilled in the hotel and then he came and picked us up and we went to the Moab park and had a bbq with his class. The kids loved playing on the rocks and toys there. The hamburgers were yummy. It was awesome to have a bbq in warm weather again.

After the bbq Todd and his class and I went to an old uranium mine to look for rocks with uranium. They took Geiger counters and walked all around looking for rocks with uranium. It was fun to watch! The kids and I looked for our own rocks too.

This is the rock that Todd found that was pretty radioactive. It made the Geiger counter make lots of noise. The uranium on the rock is a beautiful bright yellow color. It was really cool to learn about it and find a rock with some on it.

Afterwards we met up with our friends for a long time.. Scott and Mindi Saunders. We went and played on a big sand hill. The boys loved it!

I love this picture of Todd. Todd found a big rock and told Easton and Ryker to stand still.


After the sandhill we went bowling. When we took off our shoes we dropped sand everywhere.. I felt bad about that. We had a blast bowling in Moab. It was so fun... and of course... I won ;)




After bowling we went out to eat at Eddie McStiffs. It was good. Todd had steak and I had a big burrito. Then we went for ice cream at the Moab Diner. YUMMY!

Easton and Ryker had so much fun together they were hilarious together.


On Sunday we went through Arches National Park it was amazing as always. This was the first time that we took the kids and they loved it too..

This is balance rock. Ryker was trying to balance the rock.

This is my hot husband Todd-he doesn't like it when I post pictures of him... too bad

Sadie and I at Balance Rock

There is sandy dirt everywhere in Moab... Ryker loved picking up handfuls of sandy dirt!! Everywhere we went and every time I turned around he had a handful of dirt!

This is our family inside the South Window arch. What an amazing view (not us the arch;)

The arch behind Todd and Ryker was called Turets arch- I just knew you would want to know that;)

More arch pictures.. turns out there are lots of arches in Arches National Park

So these next pictures are of sandstone arch. The hike to it was awesome and there was lots of sand so the kids loved it!

This is the arch that we hiked to, I am standing under it with the kids.

Of course Todd had to climb on top of the arch... Sadie yelled at him the whole time saying "No Daddy get down." You can see her on the bottom telling him whats up.

All and all it was an absolute blast! Thanks Scott and Mindy for such a great time! Can't wait for next years trip.
