HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SADIE!!!

It's my baby's first birthday today. How time flies!!! We got a new niece, Jaydelynn, today. What a nice gift to give Sadie. :) I will post pictures of Sadie's birthday celebration later.

Some random photos for your enjoyment...since I'm so far behind. :)

Rub a dub dub, three boys in the tub...Calder, Ethan (my brother's little guy), and Gavin.

Finnegan loves Sadie, and Sadie LOOOOOVES Finny! :) She was seriously squealing with delight here. Sadie. Not the cat. The cat doesn't squeal with delight normally.

My beautiful, freshly bathed, baby.

The next several pictures were taken on the St. George LDS Temple grounds in April. Gavin

Adeline

Calder (oh, pleeeeease ignore the sandals with socks...)

Sadie

All 4.

Addie loves this temple. She has expressed her desire to be married here someday.

So sweet. :)

No, she is NOT young Obi Wan...

( Sorry it's blurry)...Addie had a small skit she got to perform at the Treehouse Museum for a school assignment. Here she is as "Will, the lowly plowboy."

Sadie helped me pull weeds. You gotta train them early!!!

Dial-Up Internet + BUSY BUSY BUSY = No blog updates for a loooong time!

I know it's all just excuses, but the title really does explain it all. I can't bring myself to spend one and a half hours at the computer updating my blog right now because I just don't have the patience. Really. You don't want to hear the things I call my computer when I am waiting for a picture to upload....and waiting....and waiting...all the while trying to sooth a teething baby, fold my never-shrinking, ever-growing MOUNTAIN of laundry, going to work where the kids (and I) have Spring Fever BIG TIME, and on, and on, and on. Yes, I know that was a major run-on sentence, but cut me some slack here, alright!?

Anyway....as the end of the school year approaches, so does our long- awaited Summer break. We have so many fun things to do. Hopefully I won't miss something major because my engagement calendar is busting at the seams right now. All 3 school kids have at least 2 field trips in the next week and a half. Softball, achievement days activities, and piano for Addie, T-Ball for Gavin, Baseball for Calder, girls' camp for Deana, and soon swim lessons for all 4 of the Davis chillins, plus all 4 kids' birthdays in the next 2 & 1/2 months. Oh,! and a baptism, too. We've also got a couple camping trips coming up for the family as well.

Throw some not-so-fun things in which are coming up this summer including 2 surgeries (Deana and Gavin) and one other painful medical procedure (Deana again...) and you can see I'm thrilled/stressed/excited to the max. Hopefully I will sneak onto the computer here and there and keep you all posted!

So, as to not disappoint, I'll throw in some fun pictures. This is from a family hike we went on above North Ogden last month.
