She's 4 months!!!

Sadie had her 4 month visit and shots. She is now 24.5 inches long and 13 lbs. She is still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but the length is too short on her! We always so she's waiting on a flood! She can hold her head steady, roll over one way, reach things, bable like you wouldn't believe, hold things... its amazing! Monday morning we started cereal for the first time. It wasn't awful, but no 1st time successes.... we'll keep working on it.

Last weekend

Last weekend Jef and I, and our friends Dan and Amy, went camping out at Dinasour Valley State Park in Glen Rose. Thank you Mom and Shannon for watching Sadie for the weekend! It was such a perfect camping weekend. We set our camper up Friday night, cooked dinner and then hung around a campfire. Then Saturday got up and cooked breakfast and went for a 2 hour hike. I don't know that my body was quite ready for some of the hiking, or I chould say climbing, that was going on since my c-section... but I did it! Then we came back, got showered up, had lunch and then went to Fossil Rim. Fossil Rim is a wildlife deal that you can drive through and see all the animals. You can even feed a giraffe out of your hand!!! So neat! THen when we were done we headed back and got dinner started, made smores, and relaxed. Sunday when we were heading back we were listening to our voicemails... my sister called and said Sadie rolled over 4 times! I cried because I missed it!!! But as soon as I got there to pick her up I got to see her do it myself! We, or I should say, I forgot my camera. SO... no pictures!

I need to do better!

I realized today, I haven't posted in a few weeks!

Well, last weekend we went down to Stephenville for the Griffin Family Reunion. It was such a nice weekend. We enjoyed seeing everyone and not to mention having some time to get away and be out in the country! Sadie got to meet her great grandpa Whitt and her newest cousin Hadley, she's 3 weeks in this picture.

Then, Monday Jeff left for Austin for the week. It was a long week, with Sadie teething, it got rough a few times. But, Thursday Jeff got back and we had a great weekend! Yesterday we wnt and signed up for a gym membership. LA Fitness offers childcare for 3 months and up!!!! YEAH! When my frien Tawny came in town this past week and I saw how great she looked, she had a baby 3 days after me, I was motivated!!!! We start tomorrow!!!! Saturday morning, Jeff kept Sadie while I got my hair cut and colored. I hadn't had it colored since Oct. of LAST year! Then we went and hung around Frisco and had BBQ at Spring Creek! YUM! When we got home I had to take Sadie's picture on our door step. She looked too cute in the onesie my mom made!

Today we went to church, had Quizno's and home to watch the Cowboys!!! Wish me luck tomorrow! I'm sure I'll be sore!

3 Month Pictures

Here are Sadie's 3 month pictures. They turned out MUCH better than her 1 month. I think I bought way too many!!!! But, she did such a great job! She's cooing at us (and by herself for that matter) a lot. To hear her little laugh is hillarious! She is sleeping great at night! Usually 8 hours and then takes a bottle and back down for 2-3 more. Its wonderful! We have joined a mommy and me group and have been staying pretty busy between that and I'm working on starting my own business. I've been just trying to get stuff together before I give it a go. It will be an embroidery and fashions boutique. I'd love to one day open a shop.... but that is SO far down the road, I'll just be doing it through my website for now... which I'll have more to come on that! For now, take a look at our little bug!!!

Celina Football

We took Sadie to her first Celina game last night! I'm so mad because I forgot my camera and then by the time we got home she was so tired I didn't take any then! But, she was decked out in her orange! :) I'll take some next time! Anyway... she did great! Celina has this HUGE horn thing... its like 8 horns all in one on the platform they drive and and guy sits on it and blows it every time they make a touch down. Well we got there at 6:30 (you have to get there early to sit, we were told) and it was time for her to eat. I was feeding her when all of the sudden they blew that horn for a long time! It startled her pretty badly! But, then the rest of the game when they blew it, we just covered her ears and she paid no attention to it. She loved looking around the whole time and seeing everything! We sat in front of a baby that was 11 months old. I can't believe she will ever be that big!!! We stayed until half time and that was about the time she let us know she had enough. When we got home we gave her a bath and then started her bedtime bottle. She struggled through it... wanted to sleep! BUT, guess what!!!! She slept for 10 straight hours! I couldn't believe it!

Now... how do I get a football game every night :)

Labor Day Weekend

We had such a great Labor Day Weekend... probably my best ever! Close is last year's Red Dirt Roundup :)

Anyways... Jeff and I were going to take Sadie to a football game Friday night but his boss called and gave us Rough Rider tickets... ALL YOU CAN EAT & DRINK. So, we packed up the stroller and took Sadie. We laid her down in the stroller and sat at a picnic table and watched the game. Then we walked around and looked at the gift shop... Sadie got a stuffed animal, of course! She loved the game... just laid in the stroller. She loves being outside!

Then Saturday we woke up packed the car and headed to my sister's house, picked them up and headed to Bunny and Jerry's Lake house to meet my mom and Jim for the night. When we got there Mom told us that Bunny & Jerry had already let people use the bottom bar/dance area for the night for a wedding reception... oops! THe people were really nice though and didn't mind us hanging out up top and even invited us down to join them. We were celebrating my sister's 40th birthday and i kept telling her she got the best birthday... a dj was there! It was really great until about 11:00 when we were all wanting to go to bed and the party below was just starting!!! HA! The next morning we all got up, cooked breakfast, Patrick and Steve went fishing and then Shannon and Steve rode the Trike. It was really fun!

Then as we were packing up and leaving, Jeff and I decided since we were already half way to Hico, we would go ahead and head downt here. It had been a little over a month since we had been down there. We drove down and stayed at his grandpa's. His grandpa lives in the country out on a TON of land. Its so peaceful. He wasn't there... him and his new wife, Anastatia were in Houston. Jeff's mom met us and we went to dinner. Then we came back to the house, got Sadie ready for bed and then sat in the hot tub outside... SO NICE!!!!

On our way home Monday, we stopped off at saw Cynthia... a close family friend. She hadn't seen Sadie. Then we drove through Glen Rose and stopped at the State Park. We have a park pass and thougt why not look around. We are staying there in October and I'd never been so I wanted to check it out. After taht we headed home! I can't wait until next year! When Sadie is older she will get to actually enjoy all that stuff with us!!! Not just sit there and look around! :)

Alaskan Cruise

We had the best time on our cruise! Jeff works for sucha great company... to send us on a trip that was so amazing! We left out of Seattle Saturday afternoon then ported in Junea, Sitka, and Ketchican, Alaska, and then Victoria Canada. It was my very first cruise and I was terrified! The first few days I kept thinking we would flip over or sink. It was very rocky water part of the time. But, during my pedicure the girl doing it told me that there are stabalizers underneath and that the ship is designed to not sink more than the bottom 2 decks! That made me feel so much better. We had an amazing room... and even better, a HUGE patio outside the room. The weather was great. Every where we went the people told us it was the nicest weather they had all year. One day when we were setting sail again, it was so nice that Jeff and I sat out on our balcony and took a nap on the lounge chairs! It was awesome! They told us that after we left Sitka, the next day there were 60 miles per hour winds. The ships couldn't even turn off their motors and the people couldn't get off the ship! We were very lucky. I think my favorite places were Ketchican and Victoria! I would love to go back to those places and stay longer sometime! You can have Sitka... its wasn't anything spectacular. On board, Jeff and I pampered ourselves to the extreme! His company gave us ship credit, so I got a pedicure, hour massage, and my hair done the first formal night. Then later in the week, Lori, another agents wife, talked me into doing this huge package special with her. I felt like a queen all week!

When we got home, My mom and Jim met us at the airport to bring us Sadie. SHe looked so much bigger to me. And she was so alert! We missed her so much... but, it was so good for us to get away and have a little refresher! Plus, my family LOVED spoiling her!!!

Now the countdown begins.... We are going to New York in April!
