Sadie just turned 18 months, so she had her first day in nursery! We loved it. She'll learn to love it ;) She did pretty well. The nursery leader told us that toward the end of church, she kept doing the sign for "all done", like she was all done with nursery and wanted to go home. I thought it was hilarious. This picture below is a few weeks before she turned 18 months. She is the busiest little girl I've ever known. She wants to run. All, Day. Long. Those last few weeks before her half birthday, I would literally be sweating at church from chasing her all over. We wouldn't have her any other way though. She's a nut, but at least she's our little nut ;)
She's also started dancing. She loves it so much. She'll grab my phone and start dancing to let me know that she wants me to turn some music on for her. If she's in the middle of a dance and realizes that Brady and I aren't dancing with her, she'll stop and point at us and basically say, "You guys! C'mon and dance with me!"
She's learning how to be soft since she's had some issues with hitting and biting. She likes to show us that she's soft by petting us. She recently started petting Brady's head. It makes us laugh. When I ask her where the baby is, she'll point to her own belly first, but then she'll point to mine and give my belly a kiss. She really has no idea that there's a little bro brewing in there! Her world might be a little rocked when he comes in a few months :)
Sometimes, she acts like a drunk sailor. She runs into walls constantly. Tonight, she hit the door frame hard enough that she cut her lip. Hopefully she figures out how to pay attention sooner than later.
She loves to pray. She constantly reminds me to say prayers before our meals. She folds her hands and can say "amen" at the end.
She loves to bring me things. For example, I take my wedding ring and my other ring off every night and leave them at my bedside or in the living room. No matter where I put them, she'll find them the next morning and bring them straight to me.
Sadie loves to read! She will bring us book after book after book. She could literally read books all day long. (And sometimes, we really do!) Her favorite is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see?" She can say "brown bear". She can do lots of animal noises. She recently learned how to growl like a tiger and "ssss" like a snake. And most impressively, she can point out Jesus in our church picture book. In fact, we were showing her a book with different pictures of past prohphets and people from the scriptures, and she was interested in all of them but as soon as she saw a picture of Jesus, she kissed the picture of Him. I thought that was really sweet. She also thinks that any old guy with white hair is "papa". At church a couple weeks ago, she kept saying, "papa, papa" as she was pointing to this sweet old man in our ward who was sitting a few pews back.
Giving kisses is also a favorite pastime. If Brady or I ask her for a kiss, she'll want to kiss the person who didn't ask her for a kiss first and then she'll kiss the first person. She's very particular about it!
She still loves going to the park. When she's feeling brave, she'll go on the big twisty slide all by herself. This age is so busy, but so fun. We love watching her learn and grow daily!

Brady recently completed an olympic triathlon, and the week before his race we went to Jordanelle Resevoir where the swim portion of the race took place so he could get a feel for swimming in open water. Sadie loved playing in the lake and finding rocks.
We went to the Pioneer day parade on July 24th. We loved seeing all the cool floats and remembering the major sacrifices the pioneers made.

| I told you she was a nut! |
 |
| She's still a little short for her strider, but she'll get there :) |
 |
| This doesn't happen very often, so I have to document when it does :) |

| A little white trash moment ;) |
 |
| Sadie and her cousin Claire// matchy matchy! |
 |
| Josh left on his mission to Jamaica and we were able to attend his farewell |
 |
| Sometimes when Sadie is sad in the car, she just wants me to hold her little hand to make her feel better. So tender :) |
 |
| Sadie and I spent a lot of time in our kiddie pool this summer! |
We went to see Death Cab for Cutie at the Twilight Concert series in July. It was really fun to hear them live, but we didn't get to stay long because Sadie had a sudden fever.
