Sadie is "1"

Sadie celebrated her 1st birthday last weekend at her grandma and grandpa Mortensen's house. Naturally we gave her a little cake to dig into. She started off a little timid and gradually got more and more into it.

In the end, Grandpa was the only one willing to kiss her grubby hand. Then came the presents. She received a touch and feel book from aunt Lisa, a strawberry shortcake doll from grandma and grandpa, and a purple tu-tu from her parents.
Her brother was kind enough to help her open her gifts, and the final picture shows her saying "I'm 1" or maybe its, "I'm #1" either way, she knows how to point fingers!

Girls weekend away!

A couple girlfriends and I had the chance to run away to Seattle for the weekend. We told our husbands we were going for a spiritual "Time out for Women" ha ha, suckers! Just kidding, we did get a very spiritual uplift. And a lot of shopping and lounging in the hot tub too! Thanks to Bryan for being so willing to stay with the kids, and even having the house cleaned when I returned!
