Sadie Isla

My little sunshine Sadie is here... & she's already almost 3 months old! Her personality is just so calm & go with the flow (totally different than Scarlett!) & thats exactly how she was when it was time to enter the world. I really think she was just in my belly smiling & happy with no plans on ever coming out. Once my due date came & went I decided to get induced. I was so beyond nervous about it though. Scarlett came a week early, with my water breaking at home & my labor was so quick & easy.. So I was terrified if I got induced that things wouldn't go as well & I was so worried about having to maybe have a c-section. Looking back on it now I loved getting induced because we made our last day as a family of 3 really special. ((oh can I also add that Tony Sadie & I were all born on the 28th of our birth months! & Scarlett on the 8th:)) I was a nervous wreck thinking about having to leave Scarlett, I had never left her overnight before & she sleeps in my bed & we cuddle all night (& I wouldn't have it any other way). My doctor had us check in at the hospital at 4am! I seriously love my Dr but come on Glassman! ha Needless to say Tony & I slept about 2 hours that night & then headed to the hospital to meet our second little girl. Well lets just say I had the most wonderful labor ever! I was in labor for 4 hours & little Sadie came out not making a peep! She scared me to death but as Ive come to learn she is just not a crier. She didn't really cry the first 2 months of her life.. that is until evil teething came to bite us early! This post is totally all over the place! I just have 3 months of stuff to talk about & its hard to stay focused! Anyways.. Sadie literally was smiling the day she was born. & not that whole oh she's passing gas thats why she's smiling bolognie.. she was really smiling, & she has been ever since. I am so beyond blessed with her & can not handle the happiness her & Scarlett bring into our lives. Seeing my 2 girls together makes me the happiest mommy ever. 

Some things Sadie has been doing...
Sadies first coo July 30 (1 month old)
At 6 weeks she slept 8 hours woo hoo!
Sadies first laugh sept 14 (2 1/2 months)
Sadie rolled over for the first time sept 23 (almost 3 months)

Sadie loves toys & will smile so big when you play with her. She loves when you talk to her, she will talk right back & have a "conversation" for a pretty long time :) She loves to be outside & trips to the park with Scarlett. Her favorite thing in the world though is bath time. She kicks & wiggles like crazy & is in heaven!

tired and rambling

I AM EXHAUSTED! Being 28 weeks pregnant with a two year old is no easy job! But tonight I am so thankful she did not throw a major tantrum when I put her to bed. I've finally decided its time to put Scarlett in her own bed at night. I absolutely love having her sleep in bed with me, but it's just not going to work when this baby comes. So last night was the first night in her own room. She cried and screamed, a lot... & I had to eventually bribe her with chocolate. It worked like a charm, & she was asleep in 5 minutes. She's always been a terrible terrible sleeper and still at two years old rarely sleeps through the night. Well last night she didn't wake up until 2am, which is a good night for us, and she was crying about scary snakes in her room.. So I let her finish the night off in bed with me. It's a process, for both of us, obviously. As I got in my bed all by myself tonight & popped in my favorite movie "You've Got Mail", I thought two things.. I would KILL for some salt and vinegar chips right now & wow I have a lot of things to be thankful for. I could literally complain about 100 things during this pregnancy but I have way more to be thankful for. Let me just start off saying my husband told me to go shopping the other day. I went all by myself & it was wonderful. Can I just say how much I miss and love Urban Outfitters. I havn't been in forever, and although I can't wear half the clothes I want to right now, I did get some cute stuff :) I also got some stuff for this baby girl which is always exciting. Tony gave up his office for this baby's nursery, and he might not know it just yet but he is going to paint this baby's room so cute.. I really am so thankful for such a sweet husband. I have had my days this pregnancy where I would expect to be murdered in my sleep with the way I acted earlier in the day, but he always just says he knows its because Im pregnant and understands. 
I am thankful for a nice day with my mom & Scarlett today. & I am so beyond thankful for my wonderful dad. Aside from my husband, he is the best man I have ever known. 
I am thankful for Scarlett helping me wash my hair in the bath tonight, it is almost impossible now. Coconut oil, which I use for just about everything. Still being able to workout. Peanut butter, id die without it. This amazing weather we have been having. Feeling this baby kick. Sweats & sweats again, because its all I wear. 

....Now I am back to thinking about the salt and vinegar chips. Pregnancy cravings are no joke. I truly think in my head.. "hmm can my husband leave work to get me a bag? It's kind of an emergency." If anyone wants to deliver 1 or 2 or 3 of these bags of gold I will love you forever. 

valentines day

I love love love Valentines day. 

I promised myself I would send out Christmas cards this year, but that never happened... so I decided on Valentines day cards <3 Which I think I love even better! We did a last minute (of course) mini valentines photo session at Kinderland.. luckily Scarlett is so cute because the photogragher had all these cute props but they are all cut out in every picture.. ummm... helloooo?! I guess thats what you get for being a procrastinator and not setting up a real photo shoot. Might as well add to my procrastinator-ness and add that I also went and picked out an outfit for Scarlett on the way to get her pictures done.. ya her pants are a little big.. You live & you learn, for next year.. Oh geeez I hope! Anyways, the pictures were just supposed to be of Scarlett, but the photographer told me to get in some with her. I wish Tony was there to get in on them too, but he was sleeping, so he didn't make it on the card.. Next year he will.. and all of our clothes will fit well.. and the background will not look like I am selling Scarlett for 25 cents... As if this photoshoot couldnt get any worse, Scarlett suddenly needed a nap conveniently when it was time to get her picture taken, so to try and get her to smile we had to sing her Happy Birthday over and over... and over.. and then she smiled this big.....

Thankfully our card is still pretty cute.. but I do promise to be more prepared next year.

This year for Scarletts valentines we did glitter noodle necklaces & decided to add something for the boys, since most of her cousins are boys.. so we added some bugs too. They turned out pretty cute. 

Since were on the topic of love... Can I just talk about how much I love Scarlett. My heart is so filled with love for her that I think it might burst. I have more fun and laugh harder with her than anyone else.. sorry Tony.. you come right in second <3 I have no idea how I got so lucky to have such a little angel, but I am so beyond thankful. Thankyou.Thankyou.Thankyou. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

.i love you Scarley poo.

& you too Tony... I love you so much <3

not even sure what to call this one..

Tonight Scarlett really tested my patience. I seriously had to call my husband at work to remind me how cute she is just so I didn't feed her to our dog or lock myself in the closet. No really though, it took me three hours to get her to finally get to sleep. In those three hours we.... read a million books.. sang happy birthday 25 times.. scratched her arm and her back.. sang baa baa black sheep 15 times.. & then she finally decided she was so over going to bed that she left the room and wandered downstairs. I was so over it by then too that I joined her and we ate four chocolate chip pumpkin muffins together. By then we were both really happy again and ready to try this bedtime thing one more time. Well she's finally sleeping and I finally have a little free time to finally blog. 

Hmmm... lets see.. well I just celebrated my 25th birthday.. I'm just about 20 weeks pregnant.. Im already feeling huge.. Im already obsessed with this season of the bachelor (judge away haha).. Im looking forward to Valentines day <3.. I would kill for a piece of pizza right now..... Why on earth am I   writing all of this pointless stuff.... Well probably because I'm too lazy to actually update my blog on the last four months I've missed and I might be a little tired.. (But seriously I'd kill for some pizza if you're reading this Tony)

On to more interesting things.... Whats new in Scarletts life... Well she is going to have a little sister.. which is the most wonderful thing in the world in my opinion. Scarlett is obsessed with anything princess, she changes into a different princess dress about 20 times a day. She loves to brush and style my hair. Like she will sit there and do it for hours... 

We have been having lots and lots of park days taking full advantage of this amazing weather. We are pretty much there everyday and we always meet our friends Carmela and her little boy Noah there. We have so much fun with them!....
The other day we were at the park way past Scarletts nap time and she saw a little birthday party going on... Well Scarletts love for birthdays mixed with her neeeeeed to take a nap did not go over so well... "PARTY!"... "PARTY!"..."PARTY!" was all everyone around us heard her SCREAMING! I rushed her to the car and called my husband in a panic saying "We need an emergency birthday party!" We live about two minutes away from the park so I was expecting to come home to him standing there empty handed.. but to mine and Scarletts surprise we came home to the best dang fake birthday party ever! 

Yes there is even a teeny tiny lit candle there in the middle of those bananas and chocolate. 

Well if you made it this far in this pointless blog post, thanks! Sorry for no real update on our lives, and no pictures except of Scarletts amazing fake party. Here ill add one more.... hanging out at our new fav spot.. our balcony :)

October

Back in October....

we took a little trip to Denver

We fell in love with all the old building & parks & found our favorite breakfast spot, Jelly. OMG they had the best donuts ever!! I ate about 80. Seriously. My brother also lives there so we got to spend some time with him which was so nice :) 

We ended up being in Denver the same time as our friends so we met them at the zoo. Scarlett has more fun with their kids then anyone else. They are all so cute together. We rented a little jeep to push them in & bought some popcorn & they were all loving life. The zoo had a carousel, Scarletts favorite thing in the world & a train. They also let you feed the birds, I thought Scarlett was gonna be terrified but she loved it. She even got a kiss in.

We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary.. Heres my amazing gift my husband made me. He's a keeper. 

We also celebrated Halloween... Scarlett was Cinderella (I was her mouse.. so she also had my mouse ears on :) & had the best time trick or treating with Samantha & Sebastian.  

north carolina & disneyland

Lots has been going on since Ive updated my blog.. which has been a while. So I'm gonna dig deep into my mommy brain to remember everything.. Tony & I have known for a while we don't want to be in Vegas much longer, so we've decided to start our search for a new place to live. We have just been picking pretty random places we've always wanted to go or that seem ideal for raising a family & we're going to check them all out until one seems perfect for us. In August we went to North Carolina....

on the flight there..

 We had lots of fun in North Carolina & loved all the green, but it wasn't the place for us. 

we slept in everyday :)

We found our dream home. Seriously in love with this house.  <3

We went to Carrowinds amusement park which had a huge water park. We had so much fun! Warning to anyone who is planning on going there, skip the dinosaur exhibit... BORING! 

 We found the cutest park & made some friends there. 

Scarlett HAD to wear this tutu bathing suit everyday

 A few days before North Carolina we met up with Tonys family in California to go to Disneyland. Im sad to say I dont think we will be going back for a while. Scarlett was a total monster! She does not do well with huge crowds of people. She takes after her dad because he hates big crowds. But she loved seeing her cousin Xave. She had so much fun with him! They were the cutest together! 

cute cousins

sitting on Xaves lap :)

The only ride she liked was the carosel. She was scared of every other ride. 



















 Our last night there, Tonys parents watched all the kids so we could all go enjoy Disneyland for a few hours. We had SO much fun! We went on the last ride at 11:59 & we were one of the last ones there. I loved it!
