We blessed the baby girl on Sunday September 11, 2011. She looked beautiful and Grandpa Seth told me that when her daddy announced the name that she would be known by she didn't make a peep, so he said she must like her name. I feel so blessed to have such amazing men in Sadies life. One thing is for sure, I would hate to be any of the boys who want to date her when she gets older. Between her daddy, her Grandpas and all of her Uncles, those boys are sure in for a ride! The men who were present at the blessing were her daddy, Great Grandpa Tingey, Grandpa Seth, Grandpa Jack, Uncle Paul & Uncle Nate. Uncle Mike, Uncle Dave, & Uncle Brian showed up later. Her daddy gave her an amazing blessing and I always get so teary when I see all the men in our life surround our babies to give them the blessing! We had a great luncheon with lots of family and enjoyed the day doting on our little princes...

I don't dare put little mans white shirt on until we are walking into the church... This kid can set the record for getting clothes dirty.

Aunt Angie and all of her gang.

Some of the food. One thing I know now that I have been in the Sargent family for 13 years, they sure can make some amazing food!

Oh man does her Uncle Brian love this girl!

After the long day Aunt Nicki managed to get her to smile!

 Sienna started her 2nd year of pre-school with Miss. Shari. She has been SO excited for months. We went to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in July for School clothes and she has wanted to wear them everyday since then. The morning of her first day she was just so excited she didn't even want to eat breakfast. She chose her Hello Kitty shirt to go along with her Hello Kitty backpack. I have come to the conclusion that I no longer get to pick out what she gets to wear and I'm having a really hard time letting go.

 Savana was able to come and stay with us for a few days over summer break. The rest of the family had to stay in Vegas due to a Chicken Pox outbreak so we were super excited to have Savy all to ourselves. We packed in a lot of fun stuff when she was here... She took stunting classes from Uncle Nate. (She's on a competitive cheerleading team in Vegas, and I'm pretty sure she's the best one...)

 She spent lots of time with her cousins... This is her with Sadie & Kaiya

 And then we had a little creeper trying to get in on the action...

 She's just teaching Kaiya how to stunt for future purposes...

 Grandpa Seth taught her how to flyfish on the flyponds... Earlier in the summer we stocked the ponds with about 400 pounds of fish. We go and feed them nightly and the kids think the first are fantastic. We've thrown the rod in a few times but we need to do it a little more to take advantage of the money that was invested into the fish!

 Man, who's kid is the creeper posing next to Sav & Grandpa???

 She didn't want to actually touch the fish...

 Nice action shot

And then the hook came back and hit her in the face, so she was done!!!

I'm hoping to get Sav & least once a summer.

 We spend a lot of time @ the mill this summer riding on the "go gos" Even Sadie got in on the action...

Sadie, Tessa & Jenna (Covered by her sister punching her out)

Thomas the Train...

Here's what I learned about going to see Thomas the Train...

1. Don't bother buying a ticket to actually ride the train. Little man was more interested in riding the giant go go (back hoe) that was in the middle of a guys field & Sienna just wanted to get the thomas the train tatoo...

2. Don't invite my husband. Seriously, bad attitude!

3. Bring sweatshirts & blankets. I always think it's going to be warm and it NEVER is.

4. Stop buying the giant Thomas balloons. We're 3 for 3 on the balloon popping BEFORE we even reach the car and daddy then has to run back to buy ANOTHER $9.00 balloon!

I was super excited to take the kids to see Thomas this year. I was pretty sure Little Man would freak out and love every minute of it... Let's just say, I didn't get the reaction I was hoping for~
