three day weekend

since we had a three day weekend, sadie and i flew to california friday night. our trip was so much fun, it was exhausting! we spent most of our visit with my two sisters but we also made time to visit other family members. since hubby was so busy working last week he stayed home so he could get some rest.

saturday: our first stop...the alley (a huge shopping network in downtown L.A).you can find any and everything at the alley, all for a low, low price.

i love this picture of mia and sadie. it's too bad it's out of focus.

Sunday: we went to visit my mother and grandmother. it was a great day! my mom cooked lunch for us and Alex (sadie's awesome uncle) got sadie crafts to do while we were visiting her grandparents. he got her stuff for finger painting, wax crayons, and play-doh. this was sadie's first experience with all of these things, and she LOVED every single second of it. we had so much fun watching her explore and experience something new.

Monday: we all had breakfast together and hung out. sadie is so in love with her aunts mia & max and her uncle alex. you can see that they love her as much as she loves them. it's kinda sad and funny all at the same time but when my sisters are around, sadie is so excited to see them that she forgets about me, and she is kinda mean to me at times. now that she is old enough to express her feelings. she is good at letting me know when i'm getting in the way when it comes to her personal time with her aunts and uncle. she is a little stinker! but most importantly aj and i know that our little girl is loved, and that we have good and supportive people around her.
when we returned home sadie and i were pleased to see a happy and rested daddy/hubby. sadie was so wired from our weekend that at 9:00 p.m she thought it was still time to shop. she took this shopping bag that is bigger then she is and put it on like at purse while she walked around the house as if she was in a hurry...so funny.
