Our family loved spending time with Sadie and her family. The cousins always had so much fun together. We have enjoyed many family vacations and weekends with Sadie and her family that we will cherish forever. Sadie was so fun to be around and she made you feel you were one of her best friends, even if you were her aunt! :)
One summer, when McKenzie and Sadie were like 12 or 13 we decided to get them together for a weekend and do a "Cooking Camp" at our house. So we met up and exchanged Sadie for Sydnee who was going to spend the weekend with Maisie.
So we started off with cookies. McKenzie and Sadie decided they needed to wear some fun aprons and that they needed chef hats. So they tied on red bandanas and made them stand straight up. They didn't look much like chefs, but they did look funny! They had so much fun "pulsing" and mixing and talking in their fun accents as they learned to make chocolate chip cookies. I took pictures and laughed at them the whole time having so much fun being silly together.
Kelsey decided to be the fun big sister/cousin and take them for slushies at Sonic. Well we are not sure, but we think Sadie's slush was a bad one. Shortly after they returned, Sadie became sick and spent the rest of the time on the couch until we could meet back up with Pam and Lee. It wasn't funny at the time, but we have laughed many times since, even with Sadie, about the bad slushy that Kelsey bought for Sadie that made her sick.
My two younger children, Zach and Sydnee, loved spending time with Sadie. She was such a good example for them and they really looked up to her and always looked forward to spending time with Sadie and her family. We have many memories with Sadie and her family and love them all! --Kanani Wells
