for Jenni...

Here is a current pic of Sadie for Jenni......

Sadie can sit in Aleah's bumbo for a couple of mins. She loves to sit up and has a really strong neck. At her 2 month appt she was 11 lbs 2 oz. and 23 inches long. She is such a good baby. She sleeps 5-7 hrs at night before she gets up for a 6 oz. bottle. She then sleeps again until 9 or 10 and then is only up for about 1 hr before she goes to sleep again for a couple of hrs. It's hard being so cute...she needs her beauty sleep. The boys are smitten with her and are always come up to her to say  "well hi my pretty girl" or " Sadie, you're so cute" of course this is all said in really high voices.

In other news, Peyton went back on track last week after 5...count em', 5 LONG weeks of being on Christmas break and then off track. Needless to say Peyton and Mom were both ready for school to start. Peyton is in Jr. Jazz and Shane is his coach. He is really enjoying playing again this year and I can't believe the improvement in skill level his team has made this year compared to last year. This past Saturday Peyton made a 4 ft lay-up. Way to go Peyt!!! In other Peyton news, he just moved downstairs to his new bedroom. (Pictures to follow soon) Thanks so much to my awesome husband and father in law for all their hard work. I also don't want to forget Gay for watching the kids and being my shopping buddy. Also, thanks to my Dad for watching the kids while I finished painting the trim. We still need to paint the doors in Peyton's room, put in the window sill and put up the blinds and valance in his room. He choose a cowboy theme, which has been really fun to shop for. I found a few pictures at Hobby Lobby that give his room a bit more of a grown-up cowboy look. He LOVES his room and the best thing he loves about it is the $5.88 alarm clock I got him at Walmart because it plays country music. Peyton is a really funny kids and just loves having his own space again. We love you bud!

Next on the redecorating...Sadie room needs new paint and her crib set up, and Connor is getting a sports room that also needs to be painted. Honestly I am painted out, but I must go on. We have a couple of other projects going...painting the rest of the basement, getting rock installed on the fireplace downstairs and installing tile or travertine in the hall, bathroom, and kitchen downstairs. In the meantime we've decided to finally get rid of the 1990's oak entertainment center and bring our armoire from our bedroom out to the family room and get a new TV stand/cabinet for our bedroom. Our room is about 2 ft too small to comfortably fit our armoire and it really bugs Shane. It was his idea to break up our bedroom set, which I am fine with, but I was hesitant to suggest. Anyhow...this turned out to be a really long rambling post, but this is what is going through my mind. I am in the mood for some changes. Look for pictures soon, but not too soon. Let be real. Oh-I have to go do my 12 loads of laundry. You think I am kidding, I am not. Oh and one more thing, I am still working on thank-you cards for Sadie. I finally got my ward done and now I need to deliver them. Oh and one more tidbit for anyone who cares...I have lost 10 lbs. Yeah!!!!
