Hannah's first week

Well we made it through our first week and so far Hannah has been an angel! She is such a sweet little baby and so far the adjustment to two has been pretty smooth. Sadie still has her moments where she doesn't want me to hold Hannah, but I am sure that will continue for some time. For the most part she loves her sister and is always wanting to help take care of her. I love my little girls so much!

Eric and his girls! He loves his little princesses. I thought this was such a sweet moment and had to capture it!

Sweet Hannah. I can't believe she has already been with us a week!

Sadie was so excited to be wearing the same pj's as Hannah. I love how Sadie will smile for pictures now, what a cheese!

Sweet sisters!

Baby Hannah is here!

Our sweet baby Hannah joined our little family on October 5. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20.5 inches long. The delivery was very smooth, and after 10 minutes of pushing she was out! She is such a sweet baby and we love her so much! Sadie was so excited when Hannah came home, but has since had a few melt downs. But with time and a little adjusting I am sure they will be best of friends!

Peery Family Getaway

Last weekend Eric's whole family went up to our sister-in-law Jeselyn's family's cabin up near Kamas. It was such a nice, relaxing weekend and it was fun to have everyone together! I am horrible at taking pictures but I was able to snap a few. Here they are!

This swing was a big hit! The kids were constantly playing on it, and begging to go higher. It is pretty cool, it is an old ski lift swinging on a chain between two trees.

Sadie and Daddy playing outside. Sadie loved having her dad around constantly, and loved being outside.

Sadie putting her feet in the river. She loved throwing rocks in the river!

We often found Sadie playing in these rocks. One moring when she was out on a walk she fell in the rocks and hurt her knee. Her aunt Jeselyn helped her find a "magic" rock and they rubbed it on her knee to make it all better. She was obsessed with the "magic" rocks the entire trip after that and kept giving them to people so they could fix their boo boos. So cute!
We also took family pictures while we were up there since to whole family was together. That is why Sadie is looking way too cute in this picture to be camping. I can't wait to see them! Jeselyn is an awesome photographer so I am sure there are some great ones.

Summer 2010

So I know it has been months since I posted anything and I am sure that the few people who were following our blog have completely given up on us. But just in case there are a few faithful followers out there here is a long post to catch you up on our Summer fun. I thought I better do this before the baby is born or else it would never get done! We had a lot of fun this summer and I can't believe it is already coming to an end! But I can't say I am too sad because that just makes us that much closer to welcoming our new little one to the world. Here are just a few of the highlights of our summer, and also the events I actually took pictures of. I was extra bad at remembering pictures this summer! Sadie is growing up so fast and talking so much! It is so fun to see her little personality take shape and I can't wait to see how she will be with a new little sister! She loves babies and I am sure she will be a lot of help, maybe too much help! I am sure pictures of the new baby will be our next post, unless I really feel motivated, so look out for that in the next 5 weeks!

Martin's Cove Trek
Our ward went on a trek this summer to Martin's Cove. It was a great experience for our family and our eyes were open just a little to what it was like for the pioneers. I was 6 months pregnant and we had a two year old and by the end we were tired! But we realize that it was nothing to what they went through! We feel truly blessed for the sacrifice of all the pioneers and what they went through so the could live the gosple. What a great experience!

GIRL!!
We are excited to announce that Sadie is going to be a big sister to a little sister! We couldn't be more thrilled! Eric may start feeling a little out numbered around here, but soon he will have two little girls who have him wrapped around their little fingers. It was so fun to see her moving around inside of me. It makes the bond that much stronger, and we are so excited to meet this sweet little one! Here are some fun pictures from the ultra sound.

Sadie Sings the ABC's

Sadie loves to sing! Lately she loves the ABC's. She is singing it everywhere we go! She is getting pretty good at it too! We thought this was pretty cute!

Baby on board!

We are excited to announce the 2nd little peanut coming to our family. This little one is scheduled to arrive Oct 13 2010, we are hoping for 10/10/2010! No one will ever forget that birthday. We are so excited to add to our little family, and Sadie is excited to be a big sister.... she has no idea what that means but when you ask her what is in mommy's tummy she says "BABY!" We will keep you all posted about the pregnancy and whether Sadie is going to have a little sister or a little brother!

Sleepover

Friday night Halle and Gray came and had a sleepover with us. Sadie thought it was so fun and was excited that they were there when she woke up. I thought these pictures were so cute. Sadie layed there and watched the movie with them for a good 15 min, which shocked me, she usually doesn't stay interested that long. She felt like such a big girl. We had so much fun! Thanks Halle and Gray for spending the night with us!

New Years Day Sleding

On New Years day we decided to take Sadie sleding for her first time this year. She absolutely loved it and it was fun to get out and do something as a family. The hill we went on was pretty small, but we were just testing the waters, I think next time Sadie will be ready for something slightly bigger.
