Life has been busy as usual. We are crazy enough to tackle kitchen renos with two toddlers! I've been a bit behind on blogging lately, but here are a few pictures of my littlest cuties.

Sadie is 1!

Little Miss Sadie turned 1 yesterday!
She is such a little sweetheart and is already so full of fun and mischief ;)

She first started walking a bit after 11 months, but has grown more and more comfortable since.

She crawls about 1/2 the time right now.

She has 5 teeth and 3 coming very soon.

She is usually quite content doing her own thing or following Bekah around.

She is a good eater, often eating more then Bekah at meals.

She is a little monkey and climbs on everything.

She loves climbing onto the kid table, standing on it then banging on the window.

She loves mimicking our different actions, such as blowing on hot food, waving 'baba', making animal sounds or whatever.

Sadie has been down to 1 nap for a little while now. I like this a lot because her and Bekah nap at the same time and the house can usually be quiet for 1-3 hours :)

We love her so much and couldn't imagine life without her!!

End Of Summer Recap

As always, summer flew by too fast. Here are some pictures of us enjoying the end of summer!

Stroller Buddies

Nummy Icecream

This girl also loves her icecream :)

Morning Mischief

We set up the tent in our yard one evening and Bekah and I had a sleepover together!

Jumping over a sprinkler

Someone got a bit too close to the sprinkler :(

Yeehaw!

We made the girls a mud kitchen for outside and they have had a lot of fun getting very muddy!

Grandma Dyck came out for a visit last weekend, we had a nice visit and the girls had a lot of fun too! :)

Happy Girl!

We found a cool old school park with a tire-horsy merry-go-round type swing. It was very fun!

Checking out her birthday gift from us

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Sadie!!

This past week I hosted a 5 day club in our back yard! It was a new experience for me and for many in our community. I didn't realize how easy hosting a 5 day club would be. All that was required of me was to put up posters and open up my yard for 1 hour each day. We provided water and a snack, although that wasn't a requirement. After the first day and after we realized how many kids were coming (2 iced cream pails of cookies almost gone!!) I had a few volunteers to help make cookies for our club

The total number of kids we had was about 45, although it was a bit hard to calculate because many younger siblings and parents were there as well. The first 2 days were very hot, so we huddled in the shade of our house. The next 3 days were a bit cooler which was very comfortable. It was exciting to see kids excited about God and having fun together. I hope to host one next year as well!
