Our little girl is now 9 months old. She is so much fun! We love watching her do new things and see her personality come out.
She has gotten three top teeth, she has started to pull up to a stand. One of our favorite things she does is shake her head no. When we say "no, no, no, no" she smiles and starts shaking her head fast. Sadie will even shake her head no when we are trying to feed her and she is all done eating.
Every year I can't believe how much my children are growing up. This was a hard year as Blake turned 6. It breaks my heart that Blake now has to use two hands to show how old he is. I can't believe how fast time goes it seems like he was just born. Blake was so excited for his birthday and about a week before his birthday he asked me if he could start telling people his was six. This was partly because we started celebrating his birthday with extended family about then. Blake is such a good boy, he is constantly helping us out. He worries so much about his brother and especially his sister. Blake is also a very proud big brother and gets excited when his siblings do something new or exciting and will tell others about what they did. He loves playing with his friends and has to play with somebody everyday. He could play outside all day with tons of friends, and then when it is time to come in and get ready for bed he is complaining how he didn't get to play with his friends very long since he had to come inside and eat dinner for 20 minutes. Blake loves going places, being outside, going to scouts with dad and is just a great all around kid. We love him so much!
Blake had several little parties. He had one for each side of the family.
He is lucky and got lots of gifts from all his cousins, aunts, uncles grandmas and grandpas.
I felt bad for Blake he had been off track the previous three weeks, but his birthday was his first day back to school. He did not want to go to school on his birthday. Blake wanted to stay home and play with his friends. He tried to tell me that a boy in his class didn't have to go to school on his 6th birthday, he got to go to Disneyland. Sadly I made him go to school. I took him to the donut store for breakfast, so that helped.
When Blake got home from school I had his cake finished. He so excited and loved his cake. Blake wanted a red dragon cake since we were going to see "How to Train a Dragon" for his birthday.
I think Blake was happy he went to school they sang to him and his two friends Dawson and David who I used to babysit transferred to his school and now are in his class.
We called his cousin Breckin to go with us to dinner and watch the movie. Afterwards Blake's cousins came over for cake and ice cream.
Blake's cousin Brendan put a candle in the dragons mouth so it would look like he was breathing fire.

Today we met up with Aunt Stacy and Brock at the Irvine Regional Park. We went on their little train ride.
The kids had fun on the train.

We then went to the park area to play. Blake is flying his kite.
Here is Logan with his kite.
After the park we went to the little zoo at the
It's the perfect zoo if you don't want to make a long day out of it. We went through the whole zoo in less than an hour, but the kids loved it.
Here is Blake brushing the goats. Logan was too scared to enter the petting zoo area.
We were their while they feed the mountain lion. It

Rich had a scout overnighter this weekend. After the overnighter they did a 25 mile bike ride down to the beach. I decided I would bring them food after their bike ride. It was a beautiful day at the beach, the weather was perfect! Even though the water was cold Blake still enjoyed playing in it. 
Here the scouts are digging holes and tunnels. Blake loves the Scouts, he always wants to hang out with them. They are so good with our kids and let them tag along, wrestle with them, and play with our boys. They are a good group of boys.

Little Sadie playing in the sand. We had a great time. Rich's sister and her family came to visit and my parents came to hang out for awhile. Grandma took Logan and Sadie for a ride in the wagon, Blake played in the water and sand, we all had a nice relaxing day at the beach.
Today I took the kids to Kidspace Museum. We started out watching a show on dinosaurs.
They passes around some fossils and the kids had to guess what it was. To the kids surprise it was Dinosaur poop!
Blake loved climbing on the rock wall and ringing the bell.
In the garden area they let the kids make recyclable planters out of newspaper. Here the boys are coloring their papers.
You then take your paper and wrap it around the handle.
Here is Blake pressing and turning his paper to make a container.
After their containers are made the boys put dirt and seeds in it.
Blake and Logan with their plants.
There is a tricycle course set up that Blake had fun going on.
Logan loved playing in the water station.

Logan's picture, he preferred to paint on the easel instead of the paper.
They had a couple of climbing towers the boys enjoyed.
Here the boys are taking an ice cream break with our new pet caterpillars. This was the main reason I wanted to attend this museum. During the middle of March you can adopt a Caterpillar and watch it turn into a butterfly. We are so excited about our two caterpillars!
Sadie was so good the whole day. Finally after being held all day she got to get down and play with the blocks.
This was the highlight for the boys playing in the water. There is an area with shallow water and a stream that the kids get to play in. I sat in the shade on a bench while Sadie took a little nap and the boys played in the water. It was so relaxing.
On our walk.
