Seodaemun Museum of Natural History 2nd time with Seoul Seachers

We had a fun time with friends from church at the museum. Always a lot of work to get out the door but always worth it.
Logan liked the museum but also commented on how it wasn't as good as the one we went with Grandma and Grandpa to in Utah.
Most of the kiddos.



I love all the green. Being here made me a bit melancholy for those friends who were here last year with us but have now moved away. Thinking of you all!

Sadie 3 & 4 months old

Here is a ton of pictures of our sweet Sadie from the past month. She is already 4 months old today. Where has the time gone? We are all enjoying her so much.







She loves her Daddy.


Good ole' Mr. Banana is our great friend.




3 months old





She loves her brother and is already in control!

Sadie's 4 month stats:
13.4 lbs 63%
24.1 inches 62%
16.7 head

She is doing so great! We love our little girl so much and can't imagine life without her. Since I am so behind on posting here are her 3 month pictures and now some 4 months.
This is what she has been up to:
*Learned to roll over from front to back
*Laughs more everyday
*Sadie found her thumb and has figured out how to suck it! I am doing all I can to stop this.
*You sleep in your crib in the same room as Logan and Addy
*One night this past month you slept from 9:00 pm until 6:30 am BUT this only happened once you usually wake up between 12:00am-2:00am then 4am-6am and then between 7-8am for good.
*Sadie you are such a chill baby. It took you about 6 weeks to figure life out and get your belly to quite hurting and ever since then you are so happy.
*You love your mommy and give her lots of loves
*Daddy loves to hold you when he gets home from work. You smile for him and have started to pull his glasses off his face. He tickles you with his facial hair.
*You eat about every 3 hours and just lately you have been staring at my food and water....I try holding off feeding you baby food as long as possibly with the Cottrell food allergies.
*This past month you have really loved playing with toys. You love holding onto rattles and stuffing everything into you mouth.
*You love talking on skype with Grandma, Grandpa and Bri, you smile for them and stare right into their faces.
*Started to sit in the bumbo seat and like it only for a short time.
*You like your bouncy still but don't like having the attachment on in front of you. You like to be able to see what is going on.
*During the day you have started to be like Addy was and want to be laying down in your bed for a nap. You take the pacifier, blanket and then you hold on to Winnie the pooh. You rub his ear it is super cute.
*Started to ride in the stroller like a big kid! You are growing up so fast.
*You have become more vocal and squeal and coo so much.
*We don't use the Ergo non stop anymore. You are big enough now not to use the infant insert either.
*Your hair is still getting lighter and longer.
*Your eyes are so blue just like your daddy we will see if they stay.
*Logan and Addy still love holding and talking with you.
*You get mad if you are hot...don't know who you got that from?? :-)
*Banana (from Renee) is still a family favorite, you love chewing him up!
*One of my favorite things about you is when you are finished eating you will look up at me and smile so big and stare and talk to me for so long. I cherish every second of my time with you sweet baby.

Addy Update

Addy girl you are something else! You make us smile everyday. Thanks for being our happy little girl.
You are my "SWEETIE"!
We do homework with Logan everyday and now you like to do homework with him. You now know how to write your favorite letter 'A'. I bet you can't guess why?


This summer is your first time getting to sleep in the tent with Logan. You love every minute of it.
We think you are so pretty.
Thanks for loving your little sister.
You love going to church and getting to go to your class. You always ask "is it time for MY class yet?"
You were so excited for Logan to be finishing school too.
Something funny you said the other day was "Mom I'm gonna bring my phone so I can call a taxi."

We love you Addy Bri.

Summer Times

Playing video, board and card games has been a blast. The older the kids are getting the more we can do!
Enjoying the 6:00 pm water fountain in front of our building has been a blast. They even put music to it this year. So we get to enjoy 30 min of fun.
These kids sure have my heart!
Lazy Saturdays are so fun. This was Addy's first time in joining the boys in some gaming.

Logan is happy for SUMMER

We are doing a lot of camping, in the family room. Riding bikes, and scooters, going on picnics and playing at the park.
He loves his sisters and is my big helper. Thanks for being a great brother buddy.

Last Day of school! We are so happy to have SUMMER BREAK!


First day of school August 2010
2nd to the last day of school 2011

Logan you did a great job in Kindergarten and are ready for 1st grade. We are both happy to have SUMMER BREAK!
I love having my buddy around more often.
Handsome little devil!
Spencer was able to go on Logan's last field trip to the Seoul Zoo. I am so happy that they were able to go together.
Logan made Spencer a crown for Father's Day. He was so excited about it that he couldn't even wait for Father's Day.
