The Rest of July

On July 7, mom, Sadie & I went garage saleing (sp?).  We had a lot of fun!  We stopped at one on the way to Carrollton & didn't find anything.  We then went to the shop in Carrollton.  Katie Lauren's softball team was having a 12 family garage sale to raise money for the World Series.  They did great!  Raised over $1000!  We then headed to Greenwood.  We stopped a couple of places but didn't find anything.  We then hit the jackpot!  Mom bought TWO almost new recliners for $80 TOTAL!  I bought a playmat, an umbrella stroller & a Christmas present for Sadie, plus a glider with ottoman, all for less then $40!

We had the Holman family reunion on July 8.  It was moved to the Black Hawk Schoolhouse this year.  Real nice place!  Great food & great company!  Had a great time!

Happy Baby!

Daddy & baby girl!

Kinda fancy for a family reunion, but still cute!

The weekend of July 21, Team Fusion played in the Dizzy Dean World Series in Southaven.  Terry & I took the girls to watch Katie Lauren.  They lost the one game we watched but they did good!  We left after they first game because it was starting to rain & we were getting hungry!  Overall they came in 2nd place out of the whole tournament!  Go Team Fusion!  Anyways, after we left, we headed to find something to eat.  We went to Longhorn Steakhouse!  Terry & I both had a steak & Natalee of course had a hotdog!  It was delish! By the time we finished, it was pouring rain! We went to the mall to buy school clothes.  We went to The Children's Place first.  Of course, Natalee is so small she can hardly wear anything.  We bought all 4T clothes, so they would be long enough but they are too big in the waist!  The shirts are even a little long and yes, we did try them on before we bought them!  We bought over $100 worth of clothes for only $60 something!  We then headed to Crazy 8...LOVE their clothes!  I bought over $100 worth of stuff for around $30!  I got Sadie a couple of Christmas things on clearance for no more then $4 & I got both girls matching coats for about $7 each!  That was it for the girls, it was time for mommy & daddy to get something!  We went to the shoe store and bought Terry & I both a pair of tennis shoes.  They were having a sale, buy one get one half off, so we racked up, yet again! We got both pair, plus Terry a pack of socks for right at $100!  That was it!  We were done!  We went in a few other stores, but didn't buy anything.  By this time, we were tired & the girls were worn out, so we decided it was time to head home.  First we had to make a quick trip by Sonic for dessert!  Terry & I got a hey batter batter blast (I sure do miss those things! They were the best) and Natalee got a milkshake.  She LOVES milkshakes!  When we got home, we unloaded the car & got everyone situated, rested & went to bed!

2 month Check up

Sadie turned 2 months on July 8. She had her 2 month check up on July 11.  She weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs. 6 oz.  She is definitely gonna outweigh her sister before long!  She was 22.5 inches long.  In 10 weeks, she had gained a total of 5 inches in length!  She's gonna be a big girl!  Other than her getting 3 shots, everything went great!

Happy 2 Months SG!

 

We went for a WIC appointment on the 17th & she weighed 10 lbs. 14 oz. That means she gained 8 oz. over a course of 6 days!

Happy Independence Day!

For the 4th, we didn't do much, since it was during the week. We went to mom's for lunch & hung out for a little while. Carol, Madison, Brody & Joyce were there and Terry had to work. I made some orange creamsicle cupcakes. They were amazing! The kids also enjoyed playing in the pool with BB & Carol.  Hope you all had a great 4th!

 

Sweet Baby Girl!

June

The month of June came & went pretty fast.  We had the girls pictures made by Stephanie on June 6.  I'm still waiting on proofs!  As soon as I get them, I will be sure to post! Sadie turned 1 month old on the 8th, so we considered this her 1 month photo shoot.  I didn't get a 1 month picture on her actually "birthday" though! :(
On June 8, Sadie Grace had her first trip to church!  Terry was at work, so it was just me, Natalee & SG.  Natalee was not a very good girl!  She kept wanting to talk, going from Debbie to Katie Lauren, to Ryan, back to Katie Lauren, back to Debbie...you get the picture!

On June 13, we took the girls to the Children's Museum. Granted, SG can't do anything, but it was great getting her out of the house. Natalee had so much fun. She actually got to do more this time around than she did the first time we went. We spent about 2 1/2 hours in there letting her have fun! We then went to Gigi's Cupcakes & treated her to a Texas Milk Chocolate cupcake! I had the Orange Dreamsicle & Terry had the Wedding Cake. They were all delish! We then headed to Target. We fooled around Target for a little while, waiting on time for supper. Terry wanted Red Lobster so we ate there. Of course, Natalee wouldn't eat anything, except fries. She still won't try anything new! Anyways, we headed back home. The Mitchell's were coming back from a trip to Missouri, so we met them in Winona. They ended up taking Natalee home with them.

We celebrated Father's Day on the 16th.  Didn't do much, just went to moms to eat.  Terry got off work that morning or, otherwise, we would have gone to church in Stewart.  Of course, I failed to get a picture of Terry & his girls! Since I had the baby my 6 weeks off were kind of hectic, so we still have to buy mother's day & father's day presents for everyone!  I think I may do that this weekend while we are school clothes shopping!

Terry's Father's Day gift.  A candy bouquet, a pancake dispenser, drawings from Natalee &

a list of All About My Daddy from Natalee!

The girls hand & foot prints.  I promise Sadie does have 5 toes! 

Just couldn't get them all to lay down!

June 18, was my first day back at work!  Joys upon all joys!  No really, it wasn't that bad! In fact, a lot better than I thought it would be! Which it was also Sadie's first day at daycare!  It was bittersweet.   Sadie has adjusted really well to daycare. Mama D is really good to the kids she keeps & spoils them! Sadie LOVES Mama D!  If she is awake in the mornings, she will start just a grinning!  Sometimes, Alex, Mama D's granddaughter, will be there to help her.  She is still in school, but she is wonderful to the kids also!

Getting ready for the first day of daycare!

Since I went back to work, we have been letting Natalee just stay with whomever for the summer.  I didn't see the need for her to start a different daycare for a month and a half, then turn around & start school, so Terry, granny, daddy & Irene, & Delma & Roger have all been taking turns keeping her.  Well when she stays with Terry, he lets her pretty much do whatever she wants.  She even dresses herself (pick out her own clothes).  Well this is what I came home to one afternoon:

She has also decided she wanted a blue stripe in her hair.  Don't worry, this was just paint, but even after washing it twice, it still had a green tint! She even stays in her pjs all day sometimes.  She has a rude awakening coming when school starts though!
