What?!?! Mid-February and no posts in 2014..

I know, crazy right? Hey it's not called Adventures of our perfect, well-behaved, by the book life. We still have been getting messy. We have been adventuring, creating, lounging, yelling, cooking, playing, kissing yowchies, and trying to get through a frigid, yet snowless winter.
Warner ate banana cream pie off the floor at Papa's. At least he used utensils, normally he will just get down on his stomach to slurp something up. 

My dad and Shane went to the Seahawks playoff game against the Saints. 

The boys have too many toys! Is it illegal to not buy them toys for their birthday? Maybe one big gift or an experience instead. 

We got the cutest family picture in my sister's back yard on Thanksgiving. 

Brother helped little brother with preschool over Christmas break. 

Warner's selfie with Daddy and gunga (what he calls him pacifier) 

Warner with Mommy and gunga - one day we'll get rid of that thing, right now is not then. 

Totally blurry hotel fun at Great Wolf Lodge. iphone in dark hotel room doesn't give us the best quality photos. 

Yes that is a faux log cabin in our hotel room! We love going to Great Wolf Lodge in Grandmound, WA but usually just get a room with two queen beds. This time we only had the boys with us and it was during their special winter program and final days of a promotion so it was pretty crowded and we ended up getting a fancier room. The Kids Cabin had a cool bunk bed and twin bed in that little room. plus an extra tv so it was almost like we had two rooms. It is such a fun place and we love having access to the attached water park, arcade, restaurants and some free events, but it can be exhausting too. 

It's been cold here but there has only been like 3 days of snow this whole winter. Some days we have enjoyed the sunshine so much that it almost feels warm enough to play in the sandbox with only long-sleeved shirt (or Iron Man costumes) in the back yard. 

Our Christmas lights are still up, but since we had a Seahawks theme going and they kept winning, we kept them up. Luckily this was the year they WON THE SUPERBOWL! Yay team. People in Seattle are pretty crazy about it. We are pretty crazy about it.
The boys had a movie two watch since football isn't their favorite ... yet. Nani and Grandpa Larry even got them Super Bowl shirts since the youngest two didn't get an awesome jersey like Dylan did for Christmas.

  1. I ask for savings bonds instead of toys. They do get a few new toys but like you they were overflowing. People are happy to help for college and not have to guess what toys they don't have.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
