Away

2011-10-23T16:08:00.001-06:00

So we have been without internet since the end of June...as you can see by the last post I did it was around that timeframe.

Well we are still working on getting that back. However, I do have a program on my phone now that I can use to do some posting.

I hope I can utilize it correctly, if anyone has any suggestions on the blogger app for android let me know!!

But to get up to speed...Sarah is doing great she loves her little sister to pieces! In the morning she would much rather have Kahlan wake her up then mommy ....

Kahlan is crawling and getting into everything! Her little teeth are having a hard time breaking through, but they are about there. She says Momma when she is upset and is starting to like daddy more. Oh and she can fall asleep anywhere...highchair is a favorite, the other day it was the grocery cart.

Zach is working hard and going to school. Keeping busy for now,which keeps him going.

As for me I'm still working and being Mommy which is hard but worthwhile! I hope to get more posts in soon .... here are some pictures to enjoy.

Thrush

2011-06-12T22:56:00.000-06:00

Thrush is a yeast infection that causes white patches in the mouth and on the tongue. Thrush is most common in babies and older adults, but it can occur at any age. Well now that we have the definition out of the way...guess what both of my babies ended up with Thrush. I don't know why, but my guess is because they both like to spit up a lot!

But the stuff that we had to use to get rid of this is called Gentian Violet....this stuff turns everything PURPLE! It is funny and well you can't help take funny pictures of the kids with bright purple mouths...he he he.

Sarah with Thrush 2008

Gotta love that purple mouth...Sarah 2008

Okay I know what you are thinking...no we really didn't let her eat a pen it just looks like that because of the purple stuff in her mouth... he he he

I'm going to eat this pen Mom & Dad!!

Kahlan with Thrush 2011

Mom this pen tasted sooooo good...
I know once we did it with Sarah we had to do the same thing with Kahlan.

Sarah wanted to help feed Kahlan the pen...

As you can see the stuff gets everywhere! And to boot, if they spit up on you shortly after you put that in their mouth...yup you are purple also. But one good thing is it gets rid of the Thrush! Plus we get to have these funny pictures of our babies with bright purple mouths...

Kahlan's first try at cereal

2011-06-12T22:33:00.000-06:00

Well Kahlan is growing up so fast, she is 5 months old now, but last month we started feeding her cereal. I know it is always a big milestone when you get to start feeding them stuff other than breast milk...but anyhow Kahlan loves it! I don't recall Sarah being this excited about cereal. But I will get finished feeding her the cereal and she gets upset because she wants more. She is too funny! But after that first time feeding her the cereal, Sarah went and got her baby and had to do the same thing. It was precious!! We have graduated from the bouncy chair to the high chair the past couple of weeks. So just maybe she will get to eat more than just cereal soon.

Kahlan & Sarah 1st time with cereal

Sarah feeding her baby cereal like I was feeding Kahlan

Here you go baby... :) awww so cute!

The Doctor is IN

2011-06-12T22:25:00.000-06:00

So Zach always talks about the time he had his picture taken with his baby brother and he was playing doctor. Well we got a picture of Sarah doing the same thing with Kahlan. Whenever she brings the doctor play stuff out she has to check every one's hearts and give us all shots. Because that is what happens when she goes to the doctor...well the shots aren't all the time but she has a really good memory.

Zach 2 1/2 & Jeremy 6 months

Sarah checking Kahlan's heart to make sure she is okay :)

yup she has a heart

Kahlan just smiles at Sarah...so cute!

Today she was doing the same thing and it reminded me that I wanted to do this post a long time ago. But if any of you know the show "Dr Who" you will understand this next part. But Sarah will often say that she & Daddy have 2 hearts like Dr Who does. It amazes me what Sarah will come up with and I get excited to hear what she will come up with next! But one this for sure Miss Sarah loves her sister Kahlan!

Mother's Day

2011-05-30T23:15:00.000-06:00

My Mother's Day was simple and I was able to spend time with my family. I got a couple of pictures with my girls and that is all I wanted. I love my girls and I am so happy they are mine. I have called my own mother many of times saying how much I admire her for taking 5 or more of us at a time. There are some days that I think my 2 are to much for me. So to my Mom..YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you for your example and for everything that you have done for me all of my life. For the most important part...for having me and putting up with all the crap that I put you through!

Sarah pretending to be sad...:(

Sarah, me & Kahlan
Yes my eyes are closed, but I don't care I was happy!

I absolutely loved Sarah snuggled up to me like that!

This was another day, but it is another fun shot of us girls...crazy hair and all!

I hope I can be a great Mom to my girls and I hope they will always know how much they are loved! Isn't it great to be a Mom? I SAY YES!

Tulips

2011-05-30T23:07:00.000-06:00

At the Lyle home we had a nice surprise this year! Well the home we are in currently has rock beds along the sides of the house. I don't think any of us expected to have flowers in our rock beds. Well when they started to pop out of the rock beds we thought oh my heck we have weeds...lol...nope we have some absolutely gorgeous Tulips! Sarah loves them, and has picked many of them to give to others and to have in the house. She is so proud of these flowers.

Our Tulips, we have a variety of colors also.

We have multi colored Tulips

Sarah with the Tulips...

One of the many shots that Zach got of the Tulips

I really like this picture as it shows how odd it was to have Tulips in the middle of all these rocks.

Road Trip

2011-05-30T22:55:00.000-06:00

We went on a little road trip last month, it was very last minute and it was just Sarah, Kahlan and myself in the Jeep. I was hoping that the truck would make it all the way to Idaho Falls so we could spend the night at Rindee's house and go to church with them the next day. Well it did and made it back home surprisingly. But the pictures I got were from Sarah sleeping in the back while we were on the way home, and she had everything on her I think, from sunglasses that were to big, gloves, blanket, & jacket. I don't believe that it was that cold, but she was just having fun.

Sarah & Kahlan ready for church

My GIRLS!

As you can see she was nice and snuggled in there...

She changed positions, she put her leg up and well the sunglasses, well they are just having fun there!

We had a great time with Rindee & Family and thank goodness they let us come up last minute. It was great to see them all!

Weather Girl

2011-05-30T22:49:00.000-06:00

Often when a storm is coming through you will see Zach outside looking at the clouds, or taking pictures of them. Our Sarah has grown to love the storms as well with her Daddy. She now has our old camera and will go out with Daddy and take pictures right along with him. I hope that she is as good as he is one day and loves it as much as he does (that is photography & storms).

The Storm

Taking her pictures of the clouds...

She has to get different angles and everything!

Once it started to rain we went inside to watch it...this is from her window in the toy room.

Gramma's Home from her mission

2011-05-30T22:42:00.001-06:00

Well my Mom got home from her mission in late March and so these pictures are much overdue. But Sarah was so excited to see Gramma. She sure does love her Gramma! Ever since Gramma has been home Sarah, Kahlan & I have had the opportunity to spend some time with her every Wednesday for lunch. But these pictures are from way before our time the past few weeks. Welcome home Mom!!

Gramma & Kahlan first meet :)

Gramma is all about kisses...lots and lots of kisses. Sarah in her new dress that Gramma got for her.

Awww Gramma, Kahlan & Sarah

Easter

2011-05-30T22:34:00.000-06:00

We had a very eventful Easter this year, I think all together we had 2 mini Easter egg hunts and 1 very large one. So Sarah had a lot of candy to go through, and I believe it is now all gone! Yipee for sugar highs! So I have a lot of pictures of Easter so here we go....I know you love pictures!! Our first adventure was our play date with Isabel. I brought over some eggs with some candy in them and between Krystal and I we got them all hidden so they could find them. They had a great time!

Sarah & Isabel in our first mini Easter Egg hunt

I only know one name besides Sarah in this picture and that is Ava standing to the left of her.

The "Blue Dot" mmm....yup prize time!

She picked out some fun sidewalk chalk and yes we have used it already!

She wouldn't leave Daddy's side...

Coloring eggs

Finished product

More eggs....

Last but not least an egg hunt in the play room...as you can see Sarah is all smiles about this one.

opening her eggs...

As you can see we had a lot of fun, she didn't get the elaborate big gifts, but if you look below she did get a new dress for Easter and we all got to spend some time together.

Sarah's Haircut

2011-05-13T13:22:00.000-06:00

Well we decided that we needed to have someone professional cut Sarah's hair. As I have been cutting her bangs for awhile now. So Nikki who cuts Zach's hair at Great Clips was our choice, she is so nice and loves to see the girls each time we go in to get Zach's hair cut. Before going to get her hair cut we asked Sarah if she wanted to get it cut and her response to me was, "Mom I don't want to look like a boy..." She was very serious and was almost in tears. I had to explain to her that just because she is getting her hair cut doesn't mean that they are going to make her look like a boy by cutting it all off.

Nikki cutting Sarah's hair...

All smiles

She was watching another person getting their hair done I guess???

In the end we got 2 inches cut off the back and layered the front because we are growing out her bangs and needed it to blend into her hair. She didn't end up looking like a boy at all! She is still all GIRL!

Sarah & Kahlan Pictures

2011-05-07T22:05:00.000-06:00

Well we had the girls pictures done together at JCPenney and they were wonderful there! I do have to say that Zach picked out the girls yellow dresses and also found Kahlan's headband and hat that Sarah is wearing. I just said yes those are beautiful and yes we should get them...

Sarah & Kahlan 2011 they look absolutely beautiful!

Sarah looking so cute in her new dress from Gramma Vee

This is a favorite of mine with Sarah she looks so sweet!

Zach says that Sarah looks like a gal from the 20's with the hat on and all.

This was only the 2nd shot of the two of them together, it turned out absolutely beautiful. Sarah will tell you every time that she sees the picture..."my baby is laying on my back..." and then she will giggle.

Awww so cute in their spring dresses.

Kahlan Grace Lyle Blessing

2011-05-07T21:50:00.001-06:00

Well Kahlan was blessed on April 10, 2011. We waited long enough so that Mom could be home from her mission and be there with us. Zach did an awesome job with the blessing!! But the week prior to the special occasion we had pictures done in the new dresses. My mom got both Kahlan & Sarah new dresses for the occasion and they were both beautiful! Thank you Mom!!

A picture of the entire dress.

She was more interested in looking at Mom right here...love you Kahlan

Loved how she stuck out her tongue...so adorable.

Look ma I can hold my head up :)

This blanket she is laying on was made by a friend of mine at work. Thank you Kathie it is beautiful and went perfect with the dress and pictures.

And here is our beautiful Sarah in her dress...so CUTE!

Kahlan's blessing;

Kahlan we bless you with love, happiness and joy throughout your life. We bless you with the strength of Spirit, strength of Mind, and strength of Body.

Kahlan we bless you with Grace in everything that you do.

We bless you with friendship, we bless you that you will be surrounded by people that will love you.

Kahlan we bless you with knowledge and the wisdom to use that knowledge in everything you do.

We bless you with a sense of Humor. That you always find a reason to laugh.

As you can see Zach did a wonderful job and it was everything that needed to be said to Kahlan. Lots of love to our new little girl.

Life with 2 Kids

2011-04-26T23:03:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to post some other pictures that I found while I was looking at birthday pictures of Sarah's. These were too cute not to share with everyone. As Sarah would say "They make my heart smile!"

Sarah has taken up the job of reading to her sister very early on. She sat down with the book and started reading to Kahlan. Most of what she said was "Once upon a time..." for every page, but it was still adorable.

So intent on reading the book for Kahlan.

She is even in her Princess dress reading to her sister.

For a little while Kahlan was well a fussy bum, and one of the ways she would calm down was to be held by Daddy like this. I thought this was just an adorable picture and couldn't resist the opportunity to take this one.

Daddy & Kahlan

They were both into watching the TV...I don't even recall what was on at the moment, but they like sitting next to each other watching TV.

Kahlan & Sarah

Dr. Smithing (delivered Kahlan & Sarah) with Kahlan at my 1 month post appointment.

Sarah "Princess Peanut's" Birthday

2011-04-26T22:49:00.000-06:00

Sarah gets to celebrate her birthday numerous times...this is because our little one is a Leap Day baby. Yes she only has a birthday every 4 years. So to make up the difference we generally celebrate both February 28th & March 1st. Lucky little gal!!!!

She got her first Barbie this year from Mom & Dad She was so excited about it, and it made Mom & Dad happy as well!

Her Princess cake for the Princess Party!

Sarah, Grammy & Kahlan...Sarah loves her Grammy and is always excited to see her.

All the Princesses making some crowns, wands, & other fun stuff.

This is how Kahlan fell asleep on Daddy...awwww so cute

She got a lot of fun gifts from her friends...Tinkerbell Bear

Strawberry Shortcake Doll

Cinderella and her coach...it has little Jack and Gus in there as well...so cute!

A new headband...and yes she loves to wear it whenever she gets the chance!

Grammy got the Mermaid Barbie for Sarah...yes bath time is so enjoyable now :)

The card sings music and she still to this day will open it and dance...Isabel is so cute with Sarah in this picture. As you can see all the girls put on princess dresses while they were there. It really was fun having that many princesses there.

Time to blow out the candles on the cake.

This was the cake we had as a family. Sarah picked out both of her cakes.

We got a little messy with our cake time....ha ha ha

Yup Kahlan was a little fussy that night...so we got her on the nose with some icing.

Sarah, Kahlan & me

Kahlan Grace - January 11, 2011

2011-04-23T00:25:00.001-06:00

I will start this out with a big sorry...this has a lot of pictures, well because it was an exciting day. Yes it was the day Kahlan Grace joined our family. January 11, 2011 @ 7:40 am, weighing 7 lbs 6 oz, 19.5 inches and a ton of hair as you will see :)
This was from her crib...has all her information on it for us to remember always!
I had a scheduled C-Section so this picture was right before we went into have that done. Sarah was just a little tired, but as soon as we came back into the room she was much more awake and happy to see her new sister.
First time holding her little sister...

As you can see she was all about giving kisses to her sister... AAAAWWWWW look Dad my baby sister... A day later, but this is the perfect example of how much Sarah loves her sister...and you can see all the hair that this little one had when she was born.
Kisses from her Mommy...
Daddy's Hands....with his two girls, Sarah & Kahlan Neener neener neener... Tiny Toes
One of the nurses made this for our "Big Sister" she was so excited to have it because Mommy & Daddy had their own wrist bands, so Sarah needed her own. :)

OH MY GOSH LOOK AT ALL THAT HAIR...that is what I was saying.
Seriously...look at that hair...lol
not so happy about getting checked out...but I am as healthy as a bug.
All snuggled up and sleeping...

Uncle Jeremy holding KahlanAwwww kisses from Uncle Jeremy...he loves his nieces that is for sure!

Christmas 2010

2011-04-21T22:08:00.000-06:00

Why yes it is April and I am finally getting in a post about Christmas...ha ha ha...yes I was a little bit behind, but I am slowly catching up. I believe I am going to have some time on my hands to do these things the next few months. So hopefully just hopefully I won't get behind anymore. GOOD LUCK TAI!

We were at Wal-Mart and they stopped us and asked if we wanted a picture with Santa...I asked how much, well it was free and they turned out great!

Sarah's face in both pictures was priceless...she loves Santa!

Our little Christmas tree ready and waiting for Sarah to wake up and open the gifts below.

Here are some of the gifts that she got...and yes this is a noisy little thing that we try to hide sometimes...ha ha ha...no we don't hide it, but I have thought about it a time or two.

She got a trunk full of Princess Dresses and here they are ladies and gentlemen...#1

Princess dress #2

Princess dress #3 and yes she had to wear them all on Christmas day so she did.

New Tinkerbell pajama's

Her new winter coat that fits perfectly...and she loves as it is PINK!

The one thing that she kept asking Santa for each time she saw him. As well as every time someone would ask what do you want for Christmas she would say...Strawberry Shortcake Doll.

Sarah & Strawberry Shortcake...Santa also brought her a new dress that she is wearing.

Funny Sleepers

2011-03-29T10:29:00.007-06:00

So we tend to sleep funny at our house...well lets say Zach catches us sleeping funny and takes pictures of us, even though I did get a couple of him with Sarah. These pictures range over the past 8-9 months, but as you can see Sarah sleeps in very different ways and all of them are cute!.

I'm not dead I promise!

She often likes to kick me in the bum and I generally don't feel a thing.

She wouldn't fall asleep any other way that night. She had to have Daddy holding her face.

Snuggled up to Daddy.

Snuggled up next to me in the bed.

I woke up to Zach taking this picture of Sarah's foot on my neck...not sure why I didn't wake up sooner with her foot right there???

SSSHHHHH Mom you are snoring toooooooo LOUD!!

The big joke is if we are ever lost and can't find our way, let Sarah fall asleep she always ends up pointing out which way is North.

AWWWW Asleep in her car seat...she had her legs crossed and all.

Sarah & me snoozing away.

Pointing North again??? Goofy Gal!

AWWWW Sarah, Kahlan & me all asleep together. Kahlan was having a hard time sleeping and Sarah wanted me to lay down with her, so we all laid down together and fell asleep.

Sunday afternoon is a favorite for naps!! This is how we fell asleep one Sunday afternoon.

Kahlan sleeping on me after I had gotten done feeding her...yup I was a bit tired!

OH MY! My head hurts from all that crying... ;)

What my binkie fell out...I hadn't noticed!

As you can see we have fun in our sleep....

Grandma Crabtree Funeral Sept. 2010

2011-03-14T22:56:00.011-06:00

The family was all able to come to Utah for my Grandma Crabtree's funeral, well minus John & Norman. All the sisters were there in one place, this doesn't happen often as we are all spread across the U.S. currently. It was great spending time with them all. Here are some pictures from the day of the funeral. We all went to visit my Dad's grave as well.

Berdean Hyde Crabtree

Mom is the one on the right, she is sitting with her sisters here.

Cassie & Nicole

I like this picture of David, Carlee, Cambree, & Codee

Sarah kept on getting into the bucket where the ice was at...she loves to chew on ice, not sure where she gets this from as I can't stand it! But Rindee caught her in the act and got a picture.

Halloween

2011-03-12T22:12:00.006-07:00

Well this year for Halloween Sarah wanted to be TinkerBell. She was an adorable TinkerBell, even in the rain. We took these pictures a couple days after Halloween, but she still looks adorable.

She was a great TinkerBell! We all got really wet out in the rain at the trunk-or-treat, but it was well worth all the smiles we got from our TinkerBell.

Yoga Time

2011-03-12T22:00:00.004-07:00

Zach has introduced our Sarah to Yoga. While she was staying home with Zach during the days, they would do Yoga together. So I had the WiiFit out it shows the people on the front doing Yoga. She started posing for me and I just had to capture the moment. She is a really excellent Yoga gal.

Maybe I could get Sarah to teach me some Yoga and get me in shape. Yes she really could, I just got to get up the motivation to do the Yoga. Well I guess it is time to get the WiiFit out again and hang out with my Sarah and do some Yoga.

Cooking Time

2011-03-12T21:47:00.002-07:00

Sarah loves to help me while I am cooking. So we finally went out and got her a little apron so that she felt like she was a really chef. So we had to get a few pictures of her in the apron. So every time that we make cookies or pancakes she goes and gets her apron so that she can help out.

yummy that cookie batter is gooood...

CHEEEESE

Helping Mom make pancakes.

This is everything that she got with her reading money she earned over the summer from Gramma. Gramma gives a penny for every page her grand children read over the summer. Now she has her own kitchen items to play with so she isn't trying to use the real stuff.

July 4th

2011-03-12T21:34:00.003-07:00

Well July 4Th is always a favorite of ours at our house. Well that is because not only is a favorite holiday, but it is mine & Zach's wedding anniversary. Yes we picked our favorite holiday as our wedding day. It makes everything a bit easier to remember. :) Either way the day is always memorable and gives us lots of fireworks.

AWWWWWW so cute

Sarah and I went to the Layton City parade. We met up with some friends from the ward. I really liked this picture because Sarah is holding the flag.

She was really tired by the time we got to the fireworks, but she really enjoyed them.

Summer Fun

2011-03-07T13:24:00.004-07:00

Before we moved into our new place, the mobile home we lived in didn't have the best air conditioning AT ALL! So by the time it came time to eat we were all burning up and it often felt nicer outside in the shade. So we had a lot of PicNic's on the blanket. But we had fun doing that :)

Ketchup on her face as usual.

Mommy & Sarah being goofy... :)

At the Stake Swim night at Roy Aquaitic Center. Sarah made me go down the big slide with her twice. She loved that place hopefully we can hang out there again.

We went to the Ward Campout for a little bit. Well all the kids found the horse shoe area quite entertaining with all the dirt. So this is what happens...we had a shower as soon as we got home.

Yup look at those dirty toes... :)

Odds & Ends

2011-03-07T13:15:00.005-07:00

Okay so I am just going to be posting and updating the pictures for a few posts, hopefully you all won't get too bored... :)

Zach & Sarah coloring on the sidewalk. She loves being outside...

She did this all on her own...Mrs. Potato Head

One day we will be able to get one of these chairs for her to sit in, but every time we go to Cracker Barrel she has to sit in them.

Sarah & Aunt Mica playing ball.

Sarah & and Aunt Mica right before she left to Virginia. We miss her now that she has moved far away from us.

New Orleans 2010

2011-03-07T12:43:00.008-07:00

These are some pictures from our trip to New Orleans last year. We got to do a lot of things when I wasn't in class for work. It was a good break and a nice vacation.
This is at the Aquarium.

Big fish...

Zach with the elephants at the Zoo.

darn flamingos...

ME and Zach having fun...

Me & my good friend Camille.

We had some fun times in New Orleans, maybe someday we will get to go back for another visit.

Easter Fun

2010-04-30T22:56:00.003-06:00

So we have gone to this Easter egg hunt two years in a row. Sarah really likes to be there, there are a lot of kids there. So they rope off certain sections for each age group. Well she was really anxious to get started, but when it came down to it she walked by a lot of eggs before she actually started picking any up. Here are some fun pictures of her hunt :).

Smile before we start...

All the eggs in Sarah's section.

Waiting for the hunt to begin, it was a bit cold so Sarah and Zach snuggled.

On your mark get set go....yup Zach helped her over the rope.

AWWWW look what I found...it rattles and everything.

Nope I'm not stopping now that I have started.

Sarah & me after all the excitement...

Check this out I banked on all the candy...man can we go home and eat some right now??

These are the eggs that we did at our house. She got really messy and all that.
So that is all of our fun that we had for Easter. I hope everyone enjoyed theirs as well. We had to leave the next day to take Sarah up to Idaho Falls to stay with my sister Rindee. Then Zach and I left for New Orleans...that will be my next post, but not tonight. I'm to tired to stay up any longer.

Easter Sunday

2010-04-04T21:25:00.003-06:00

Well today has been a bit of a hard day. Since Zach and I will be leaving for New Orleans in the morning, we had to take Sarah up to my sister's house in Idaha Falls.
We were hoping that if we went during naptime that she would fall asleep really easy...WRONG...she didn't fall asleep until half way through the drive. But here she is cute as a bug...aaawww

We had to put the jacket next to her head because her head kept on falling and I just hate watching kids heads fall when they are sleeping in their car seats...:(

AAAAWWWWWW those very beautiful lips...:)

More Treehouse Museum

2010-04-04T21:19:00.003-06:00

Last week we went to the Treehouse Museum with Mica and Abbie and as usual Sarah couldn't get enough of it...
Our little Native American...

Our little Fire Fighter...yup runs in the family that is for sure.

and last but not least Abbie, Mica & Sarah...having way to much fun, we were barely able to get the two girls to hold still long enough to get this picture...

Fun with Grammy & Grandpa

2010-04-04T21:11:00.002-06:00

So Zach's parents came over for dinner and fun...well while Sarah and I waited for Dad to finish getting ready, we went outside. She really likes wearing her sun glasses, and I couldn't resist taking pictures of her...
OOOHHHH SOOOOO CUTE!

A hug for Grammy and it was a big hug...

So miss Sarah couldn't get enough of Grandpa Dan, she would not leave his side much. She kept on going to sit by him and snuggling up to him. So finally I had to get a few pictures of them together.

So they ended on a good note with a big KISS...AAAAWWWW

Day at the Park

2010-04-04T21:00:00.002-06:00

Well I never would have thought my little one would much rather be outside than inside...well okay I hoped she would like to get out of the house. We went for a little trip to the park on a beautiful day and she had so much fun. So the pictures are taken with my phone so they may be a bit blurry, but hey they are still way cute...
Just loved being in the swing and having Daddy push her...

more swinging :)

Okay the slide was the thing that she didn't want to give up. She went down every slide that was there and more than once on this one. She had so much fun, I think that she just likes to do exciting things...

Sarah's Birthday

2010-03-07T00:04:00.006-07:00

So for Sarah's 2nd Birthday we did a Tinkerbell theme, she just loves Tinkerbell!! Well technically she isn't really even 1 yet...you ask why that is, well Sarah was born on February 29th, the one day that comes around every 4 years. So this was really only her half birthday...but she got to celebrate it a couple times this year.
The cake that she picked out of course had Tinkerbell on it, and yes she did pick it out...white cake, chocolate frosting.

Right before I brought the cake out we asked her to sit down on the chair and she started to be all sad and pouting. Everyone was telling her to look at me and as soon as she did look at me she got the biggest smile on her face, it was adorable.

She had to smile at the the camera for everyone.

She got this cool gift from Isabel Flynn and her family, you can see Isa in the background in Sarah's car.

Sarah holding her new present...yup Tinkerbell, she is with Grammy.

She wanted to hold up the paper from the present so we took a picture of that, as you can see in the background of the picture...TinkerBell...yup we watched it twice that day.

Zach and I got her this car for her birthday, she wouldn't get out of it for anything. She would watch TV in the car, and eat in the car if we let her. The first couple of nights we had to tell her we are going to park the car so it can go nighty night. Well that worked so that is all good with me. She loves to play with this car and I am glad that she likes it so much.

Sunday Naps

2010-03-06T23:51:00.004-07:00

Sarah and I have started a new Sunday ritual you could say. We were both taking a nap after church one Sunday. She started to wake up so Zach went and got her and laid her down with me and now it happens most Sundays. But we both end up falling asleep and Zach takes some great pictues of us...lol...
Nighty night all.

yup we are sound asleep.

We started doing this as well at night to help her relax before bed, so here we are again snuggled up together.

Another Sunday for us...Kisses from my baby girl. I love her!!

So you can imagine how much I look forward to Sunday's now, I hope to get snuggles from Sarah each Sunday. Now it doesn't happen every Sunday but I always hope that we get snuggle time.

A few pictures from Christmas

2010-03-06T23:23:00.003-07:00

Well I know this is long past due, but I wanted to get it done before I forgot some more. I am up way to late, but hey I got a 2 hour nap so all is good. here are a few pictures from Christmas.
Zach, Sarah, Me and my niece Abbie at the NTEU Christmas party. We had a lot of fun there.

Sarah on Santa's lap...yup she went right on up there and just smiled at him. She didn't want to stop looking at him, but we did get her to look over and at least got a picture.

Abbie with Santa, she kept on asking him for a diary. So on the way home we stopped at the store and got her one for Christmas.

We didn't get many pictures of Sarah opening gifts, but here are a couple of her just playing with some.

She has the crayons and started coloring all over this new toy...yup not a coloring book.

A tradition of Zach's family is to have breakfast together Christmas morning. So this is his family that came to a wonderful breakfast that yes Zach cooked!! From left to right top row Zach, Me, Melynda, Jeremy; bottom row Drexil, Mom & Sarah, Wesley.

Drexil, Zach, Jeremy, Wesley

My sister Mica was also able to join us for some breakfast on Christmas. This picture is so cute, Jeremy, Zach's brother, was in the background making goofy faces at Sarah and she was just giggling about it, so this picture turned out great!

Update

2010-02-20T22:12:00.016-07:00

So I know that I am terrible at keeping up right now, but I have a minute and thought I would sit down and say hello. I am going to try and play catch up this week and next...but we will see how much I get done. I was able to be home today, no overtime for me this week or next, so today has been so much fun! So here are some updated and fun pictures...enjoy :)

Ward Christmas party...yup Sarah was on a pony.

Me and Sarah chillen'...Mica took this fun picture for us and I really like it!!

Sarah and I out in the snow, this was right after I got done shoveling the snow. She loves the snow(Yeah she is my girl)!!

She will just sit right on down in the snow no worries at all!

I was at work when this picture was taken, but she is outside again with Daddy!

I tell you she can't get enough of the snow...she is like me in that way!

Sarah goofing off on the table...she likes to climb up on the side tables and goof around.

This was on the way home from church on Sunday. She wanted to have her sunglasses and so she got them and was just chillen'.

Yup she is rockin'.

On Tuesday's Sarah goes to the babysitter so that she gets time to play with other kids. Well she isn't used to waking up early in the morning anymore. So this certain morning I had turned on the TV so she could watch Sesame Street. Well I set her down and went to get her stuff and she snuggled into her chair and went right back to sleep. She slept most of the time I was getting her changed as well.

Well I hope that is enough for right now, hopefully there will be more time later this week to get some Christmas stuff up for you all to see. Thanks!! Lots of Love!

Blogging

2009-12-12T22:09:00.002-07:00

Okay one day I will get back in the groove of things, but with our schedules changing a bit around here the last couple of months it has been a bit hard. I find I don't have a lot of time to play on the computer as much. So my blog is going to suffer for this. I hope that no one will hate me for this. :)

I will be posting hopefully the family pictures this week.

Super Saturday

2009-10-25T08:33:00.005-06:00

Well yesterday was Super Saturday for my ward Enrichment. I didn't sign up to do anything. But I remember seeing that they were going to be making Ruffled Skirts. I wasn't sure if I would be able to pull it off, but I took some fabric with me just in case. I sure did do my best and I was glad that I did try because the finished product turned out very nicely. I will be the first to tell you that I am not a crafty person and I try and get everyone else to sew for me. But this time I did it.

I did switch things up on the red skirt, but both ways you do it they are so stinking cute!!

I brought them home and put them on Sarah right away and she looked adorable in them. I didn't get any pictures of that,but I will another day.

So if you want to make these cute Ruffled Skirts go and take a look. I browsed the rest of the site and there are some other cute ideas.
Well I like going to little activities that we can do crafts, but that doesn't always mean that I will do them on my own at home. I do my best when I am there, and things will generally turn out very well done. So maybe one of these days the crafting bone will come back around and hit me.

New Glasses

2009-09-30T21:41:00.004-06:00

Zach has recently gotten new glasses...I personally think he looks really good in these new glasses. However, he begs to differ most days. But I guess my vote wins because I am the one that looks at him the most. Well here are a couple pictures of him with his new glasses.

See I think you will agree...he looks pretty good in his new glasses!!!

A bit BEHIND!!

2009-09-30T21:26:00.005-06:00

Okay so I have been a bit busy this month, so I haven't even been able to sign onto my blog at all!!! I feel a bit overwhelmed at the present moment with everything that has been happening as well as what is on my brain. So there won't be much to say tonight, but I wanted to post the latest and greatest of our little Sarah who is growing up to be not so little anymore.

Sarah was trying to save her baby at the same time, she wasn't sure if she wanted to.

But in the end she saved the baby.

Sarah with Zach's new glasses...she is fascinated by the glasses.

I know I can fit into this box...I know I can...I know I can...YUP YUP I sure can.

Shortly after this she fell backwards out of the box :)

I got this hat while on my mission in DETROIT from an investigator...Yeah it is a fun hat and I like to wear it when I am being goofy. But Sarah found it and she has enjoyed it ever since that time.

Here she is in the darn baby doll stroller...she thinks that it actually her stroller. Gotta LOVE kids!!!

Mom's Mission Call

2009-09-13T21:00:00.004-06:00

Well my Mom got her latest mission call this Thursday. It was very exciting, my sister Rindee text me about 11:30 am and said we have a mission call we are going to be opening at 8:00 pm. Do you know how long of a wait that was...oh my heck I had the hardest time making it through the day. But when my Mom called and said okay call back in 5 minutes....oh that was bad. Now if you know my family there are 5 girls and we all live somewhere different. So I had my sister Mica conferenced in when I called my Mom back. Then everyone else was on speaker and she opened the envelope...mmmmm...Where is she going??? Well she is going to the Los Angeles California Family History Support Center. She is to report to the MTC on September 21st. Yes this is only a week away and it was a shocker, so she has been rushing around trying to get everything ready to go.
However, she was in Utah this weekend so she called me this morning and asked if she could come to church with us. I was really excited because it will be the last time I see her for some time, well except next weekend that is, but she took the time to do that and it made me really happy and made me feel really special today. I love my Mom and am grateful that I have her!! Congrats Mom!!!

Me, Sarah, Mom, & Zach April 1, 2009 Logan Temple.

Picture of my Mom and Sarah taken a month or so after Sarah was born. Mom got back from her mission to Las Vegas a month and a half before Sarah came.

Sunday's

2009-09-06T13:50:00.003-06:00

Okay so I am not the best at Sunday stuff, but I really try hard to make every effort to go to Church. However, I know there are those Sunday's where my mind and body don't want to make that effort. I am having one of those Sunday's. I keep thinking if you would have gone then you might have felt better....but (there is always a big but he he he) I just can't do it today. So I am sitting here at my computer while Sarah takes a nap. I know the peace in the house won't last too much longer. Sarah is getting another tooth and is cranky and that is no fun for all of us. So I think between trying to keep her happy and me happy at the same time, I have failed and didn't go to Church today. I can only hope that next Sunday goes better than this Sunday :)...Wish me luck.

Wordless Wednesday

A Day at the Park

2009-08-25T21:25:00.005-06:00

Okay so I don't exactly remember the day that we went to the park. I do know that it was within the last month. I have been working a lot of overtime on the weekends so I haven't had much time to go to the park with Sarah and Zach. But I think this was one of the saturdays that I didn't work the overtime. We had a lot of fun and got some great pictures.

She was trying to get to me and the camera, she never wants anything more than when we have the camera out. She loves electronics so it never fails when we pull the camera out.

I really like her eyes and they light up whenever she is happy and having fun.

Sarah and Daddy taking a break and watching the other kids playing.

XBOX with Daddy

2009-08-25T21:16:00.004-06:00

So Sarah loves to sit and play the XBOX with her Daddy. So much so that now whenever we put even a DVD in she is the one that pushes the buttons to start the movie, stop, and pause. Of course Zach has the controller that actually does that, as we know kids will always push to many buttons whenever they can.

Sarah and Daddy snuggling together while playing the XBOX.

Whenever we ask her to smile she never wants to with or without the pacifier.

Found Some Old Pictures

2009-08-25T21:09:00.002-06:00

So these are a few months old, but I had to share them as we just got the pictures from the camera. These pictures were taken in Idaho Falls near the Idaho Falls Temple. We had gone up there to get Sarah after I had been gone a week to New Orleans for training. We spent some time there feeding the geese and walking the paths there. I didn't realize that I could miss someone so much as when I was gone from Sarah for an entire week. I couldn't even wait to meet my Mom halfway between Layton and Idaho Falls that we drove up there first think in the morning.

MEGA BLOKS

2009-08-23T21:10:00.005-06:00

As promised pictures of Sarah playing with her MEGA BLOKS...okay so we all participated in building the tower this time. Either way we all had fun playing with the MEGA BLOKS. I know that I would recommend these to anyone with kids, they are fun and she absolutely loves them.

This was the start of our block building this night, and so she was all smiles when we began.

I really love this picture because I was off to her side and she was looking at me when Zach was taking the picture. I love when she does this look, because it I know that she is going to do something that we don't want her to.

I need to get Sarah to stop moving so much when we take pictures :). Sorry for the blurry pictures :(

FUN FUN FUN WEEK

2009-08-23T12:55:00.004-06:00

So we have had some fun this week, so here are the latest pictures from the past week. Sarah is becoming such a care taker that she was trying to give some of her milk to her bear Ariel. So it was fun to watch her be so gentle and loving with the small bear. I am hoping that someday when we have another one that she is like this at that time too.

Giving kisses to Ariel after feeding her.

So she likes to do this when she gets a hold of 2 pacifiers all the time. I think I have posted something like this before. Either way it is still cute...but...

Zach decided to give her one more and you can see what she did then. Yup she got three in her mouth. That didn't last too long, but she had fun doing that while we laughed and took pictures.

Last but not least...Grandma Gibson has a summer reading program that she has done since I was just a kid. Now she does it for all of her grand kids which is exciting. She gives 1 cent for each page they read and 2 cents for each page of scriptures they read. Well Sarah got $25.00 this year so we took her to Toys-R-Us to get something for her to play with. Well while we were there we found a small skateboard and so Zach had her on that. Sorry the picture is a bit blurry, but it was still cute. In the end we all picked out a bag of MEGA BLOCKS and she has had them out everyday since then. I will get a picture of that soon posted, so Grandma Gibson can check that out as well.

What Is a Man?

2009-08-19T22:02:00.001-06:00

Here is a little something from Zach...

A man carries cash. A man looks out for those around him -- woman, friend, stranger. A man can cook eggs. A man can always find something good to watch on television. A man makes things -- a rock wall, a table, the tuition money. Or he rebuilds -- engines, watches, fortunes. He passes along expertise, one man to the next. Know-how survives him. A man fantasizes that kung fu lives deep inside him somewhere. A man is good at his job. Not his work, not his avocation, not his hobby. Not his career. His job. It doesn't matter what his job is, because if a man doesn't like his job, he gets a new one.
A man can speak to dogs.
A man listens, and that's how he argues. He crafts opinions. He can pound the table, take the floor. It's not that he must. It's that he can.
A man can look you up and down and figure some things out. Before you say a word, he makes you. From your suitcase, from your watch, from your posture. A man infers.
A man owns up. That's why Mark McGwire is not a man. A man grasps his mistakes. He lays claim to who he is, and what he was, whether he likes them or not.
Some mistakes, though, he lets pass if no one notices. Like dropping the steak in the dirt.
A man can tell you he was wrong. That he did wrong. That he planned to. He can tell you when he is lost. He can apologize, even if sometimes it's just to put an end to the bickering.
A man does not wither at the thought of dancing. But it is generally to be avoided.
Style -- a man has that. No matter how eccentric that style is, it is uncontrived. It's a set of rules.
A man loves the human body, the revelation of nakedness. He loves the sight of the pale bosom, the physics of the human skeleton, the alternating current of the flesh. He is thrilled by the wrist and the sight of a bare shoulder. He likes the crease of a bent knee.
Maybe he never has, and maybe he never will, but a man figures he can knock someone, somewhere, on his bottom.
A man doesn't point out that he did the dishes.
A man knows how to ridicule.
A man gets the door. Without thinking.
He stops traffic when he must.
A man knows how to lose an afternoon. Playing Grand Theft Auto, driving aimlessly, shooting pool.
He knows how to lose a month, also.
A man welcomes the coming of age. It frees him. It allows him to assume the upper hand and teaches him when to step aside.
He understands the basic mechanics of the planet. Or he can close one eye, look up at the sun, and tell you what time of day it is. Or where north is. He can tell you where you might find something to eat or where the fish run. He understands electricity or the internal-combustion engine, the mechanics of flight or how to figure a pitcher's ERA.
A man does not know everything. He doesn't try. He likes what other men know.
A man knows his tools and how to use them -- just the ones he needs. Knows which saw is for what, how to find the stud, when to use galvanized nails.
A miter saw, incidentally, is the kind that sits on a table, has a circular blade, and is used for cutting at precise angles. Very satisfying saw.
He does not rely on rationalizations or explanations. He doesn't winnow, winnow, winnow until truths can be humbly categorized, or intellectualized, until behavior can be written off with an explanation. He doesn't see himself lost in some great maw of humanity, some grand sweep. That's the liberal thread; it's why men won't line up as liberals.
A man resists formulations, questions belief, embraces ambiguity without making a fetish out of it. A man revisits his beliefs. Continually. That's why men won't forever line up with conservatives, either.
A man is comfortable being alone. Loves being alone, actually. He sleeps.
Or he stands watch. He interrupts trouble. This is the state policeman. This is the poet. Men, both of them.
A man loves driving alone most of all.
A man watches. Sometimes he goes and sits at an auction knowing he won't spend a dime, witnessing the temptation and the maneuvering of others. Sometimes he stands on the street corner watching stuff. This is not about quietude so much as collection. It is not about meditation so much as considering. A man refracts his vision and gains acuity. This serves him in every way. No one taught him this -- to be quiet, to cipher, to watch. In this way, in these moments, the man is like a zoo animal: both captive and free. You cannot take your eyes off a man when he is like that. You shouldn't. Who knows what he is thinking, who he is, or what he will do next.

Memories

2009-08-17T21:42:00.004-06:00

So I am sitting here loading CD's to my iTunes so that I have stuff to listen to while working or just doing about anything. I realized as I was doing this that the only ones that I am loading right now are Chris LeDoux. If you know me well then you know that I am a huge Chris LeDoux fan. I went to many concerts with friends and family. I spent nights out on sidewalks to get a wristband so that I could later get tickets that would put me right up front. I sometimes miss those days and think of them and smile. There was one year for my birthday that my Dad took me all the way to Nampa Idaho from Roy Utah to see Chris LeDoux. That was one of the best birthday's ever. Not only did I get to see the one person I loved in concert, but I got to spend that entire day with the most amazing Dad ever!!
The first ever Chris LeDoux concert I went to was when I was in Junior High School. I went with my sister Rindee and it was so much fun. From that time on I was hooked and no one was going to shake me from loving Chris LeDoux. :)
One more story...I went to Vegas one year with a group of friends. The driver got a speeding ticket on the way down there and we even tried to get Chris to sign it, but he wasn't feeling well after the concert. However, we did meet his son which was really funny.
All those Chris LeDoux fans out there will always miss him!!
Chris LeDoux (October 2, 1948–March 9, 2005)

New Toy

2009-08-14T22:45:00.005-06:00

Well I know that we are supposed to be saving our money and all that jazz, and we have been doing really good. I can tell you I have 2 bills paid off as of right now and we have our emergency fund (Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University). Well we did splurge a bit with some money we had. Both mine and Zach's computers are well on their way to the grave. My laptop of course had one foot in the grave and it was not nice at all. I had gotten the poor thing back in 2002 or 2003 so yeah I was lucky that it was still ticking at all. We have had to replace some parts on Zach's as well, but he keeps his up and going because he is the computer geek at our house.

Well anyhow, we ended up getting a new computer for me and it is awesome...we got a killer deal at Office Max so I was way excited. I haven't had much of anytime to get on it and play as much as I would have liked to, but I have been a busy gal this past week. I am hoping that I get to use it more often and blog a bit more than I have in the past. As well as to play on all the other social networking sights that I visit often.

Hopefully I will get some good use out of this computer. I know that Sarah already loves to sit at it and play. Zach puts her little Tinker Bell chair up on the glider rocker and has pushed her up to the counter where we have the computers and she just types away.

Thursday

2009-08-06T12:24:00.002-06:00

Well I feel like I haven't checked out the blogging world for some time. Well that is due to the fact that I have been stuck in a book for the past couple of weeks. Yes I didn't think I could get sucked in by the "Twilight" series, but I did and I have had to read it every chance I get. But I am on the 4th book "Breaking Dawn" which is a good sign that I should be done very soon. Hopefully my life will get back to the busy days of just being with my family. My husband has been saying are we going to loose you to the book tonight?? So as soon as I am done I will be back to checking on everything.

Happy 24th

2009-07-24T09:01:00.002-06:00

Well here I sit at work once again on the 24th of July. Yes since it is not a federal holiday I do have to work, but of course I didn't schedule the day off either so that is partly my fault. But anyhow, it is going to be a pretty slow day here because everyone else scheduled the day off.

So I have been doing a bunch of stuff on the computer all morning here in the Union Office. That is mostly because it is really quiet and so no one has come into the office to talk about their issues. So wish me luck that I won't go insane with boredom today while everyone else is out having a fun day. :)

Our little Mechanic

2009-07-22T12:16:00.004-06:00

Well this past weekend we had a bit of a hoopla with our truck breaking down. First it was the power steering pump on Thursday, the water pump on Friday, and finally the radiator on Sunday. But thanks to a great cousin who is a great mechanic we got it all taken care of and I am so grateful to him!!

While Matt was fixing the truck at our house on Sunday (yes I know it was the Sabbath) Sarah really wanted to help with the repairs. So she would squat down and babble to Matt while he was working as well as she would hand him tools every now and again. Well towards the end of the day, Matt was almost finished I let her outside one last time, as we had been out there off and on for most of the day, and she was just in her diaper. Well she couldn't stay away from the tools. Now this made me so happy as I love tools, and to play with tools. So I got a few pictures of her with the tools.

Yes this Momma couldn't have been prouder of her little girl!! GO SARAH!!

Birthday Fun

2009-07-22T12:01:00.005-06:00

Okay so here are some pictures from my awesome Birthday. Zach treated me to a day of fun, which included him and Sarah of course. First we went to the Gateway and had a wonderful lunch, yummy, yummy. I prefer not to have the picture of me with the big fish hat on...thank goodness Zach is the only one that has access to that one. But our next stop after lunch was Build-A-Bear, I have never, ever been there and I had told him that numerous times. So guess what he ended up getting both me and Sarah one. Of course I got a bunny that was just as cute as a bear. My bunny is named Honey and Sarah's bear is named Ariel.

Of course you also have Ranger the turtle from The Living Planet aquarium, and he belongs to Zach & Sarah.

Our next stop was the Aquarium of course and I had so much fun there as well. Many of the things there I hadn't ever seen before so it was a real treat.
. Yes my first time ever to pet a sting ray, even though the water was up past my elbow it was really neat to do.

Okay so this was the first time I ever saw an Octopus and I about had a heart attach because I walked around the corner and there it was...oh my heck it was huge. I know that you can't see it all to well in the photo, but I wanted to share anyhow.

Sarah really enjoyed all the different fish as well, so it was fun to watch her reaction to some of the fish we saw.
This thing was almost bigger than Sarah...ooooohhhh my heck. But either way we had a blast and enjoyed every minute of the day!!!

Monday

2009-07-20T11:19:00.002-06:00

So I have been meaning to do a new post with all the fun pictures that we got from my birthday last week. But my life this past week and weekend has been a bit hectic to say the least. We had a lot of car issues that is for sure...but I will make sure to get all the cute stuff from my surprise birthday activities!!! Zach did a great job with planning everything I loved every minute of the day.

Meet our NEW FISH

2009-07-12T23:57:00.004-06:00

I love my hubby!! The other night he all the sudden said we should go and get Sarah some fish. I was so excited...that I jumped up and was ready to go in minutes. Well we ended up getting Sarah 2 fish, which we haven't named yet. As well as both Zach and I got beta's. Mine is "Bug" and Zach's is "Nub", we are odd I know, but they were the first names that came to our heads and they stuck. I can't go with out attaching a picture of our new fish.

My beta is on the right... :)

We LOVE Frosty's

2009-07-12T23:42:00.004-06:00

Well so I have learned that you can't keep little kids clean no matter how much you want to keep them spotless they do not stay that way. So I have started to just let little miss Sarah have at it...now mind you this is a huge step for me as it is a bit of an OCD of having things clean. Anywho...this is what Sarah looked like after her frosty she had and it was fun to see her enjoying all of it...

As you can tell she definitely loved the frosty...which made me happy all the same :)

More FUN!!!

2009-07-12T23:34:00.008-06:00

Oh the joys of being young and triping over your feet at all times. Well this time Daddy about beat up the side table, but he contained himself and just chucked it outside instead. It was right before I got home from working overtime. So he felt so bad about it, they had a good time though :) well all but the last few minutes...

But all in all she is doing just fine as you can see she was still willing to sit with me and take a picture....:)

More 4th of July

2009-07-09T13:42:00.003-06:00

My great hubby Zach sent these 2 pics to me this morning, they are when we were at the parade on July 4th. As you can see she was a bit confused about the whole thing, but all in all she had a great time.

4th of July fun

2009-07-08T11:25:00.003-06:00

So Zach is the one that got all the pictures on his phone of the parade fun that we had in the morning, but every time we got back into the car Sarah would fall asleep. The sun just got to her...but she was a little shy at the parade, but her and I went and tried to get candy among the heard of kids that were there. She wanted to watch the kids more than anything.
So after the couple of naps that she had, we went and got some fireworks to set off at home. We weren't sure she would make it at the fireworks for very long(as her bedtime is 8pm). So we had our own little display at home. Zach and I were goofing off in the front and just being dumb, we looked back and she had her hand on her head with the look of oh my heck my parents are so weird. It was even funnier when she hid her eyes like I don't want to be seen with these people.
You gotta love kids and the goofy things that they do to make you smile!! =)

Treehouse Museum

2009-07-08T11:13:00.005-06:00

This was our very first trip to the Treehouse Museum and we had a blast! Since I had Friday off for the 4th of July holiday Zach had the brilliant idea that we should go there. I am so glad that he did, because Sarah had so much fun. She ran from one place to the other. I will definitely go again!! She really loved the music room and banging on the drums, my pictures for that area didn't turn out as good, but here are some of the pictures that I did get of her sitting still for just long enough for me to take the picture.
The big old chair, that thing was huge!! We ran into my niece there as well and I know that Zach got a picture of Sarah and Abbie reading a book together in that chair.
Of course here she is with a book in hand, she can't get enough of books!!
Our little princess, she was playing with all the dragons and knights here.
So I had to get a picture of this, because my Dad was an Ogden City Firefighter and so this was so much fun to see this. It made me miss my Dad a whole bunch, whenever we would go visit him at the firehouse he would always let us get up on the fire trucks and pretend to be a firefighter as well...Good times.
The last two here are on the way home and it was just fun...Yeah she has two pacifiers in her mouth and she was just happy as can be about it. Of course she has become a fan of necklaces...

Crappy nights

2009-07-06T08:16:00.003-06:00

Okay so it is another Monday and I am so not having a good day thus far. I had a really crappy night, every time it seemed like, I had fallen asleep I would get awakened by something different. I most often than not sleep through the whole night and through just about anything! Well for some reason last night it wasn't that way, so mow I am a grumpy butt!!! So hopefully no one is around me when I end up exploding....lol... Anyhow Monday's after a holiday weekend are most always dead so hopefully I won't have the urge to yell at anyone today hehehe.

Work

2009-07-02T13:30:00.002-06:00

I'm here at work and just a bit bored. It always happens when there is a holiday weekend we are just slow and I am caught up on everything that needs to be done. So I get to sit here and play on my phone or if I'm lucky I get to read my book that I started oh about 8 months ago. I wish I had more time to read a book, but I don't get that anymore =(.

The 4Th of July is one of my favorite holidays and of course it is my anniversary. So we always get fireworks on our anniversary which is a plus. But I am this year I'm excited because we don't have to go to work the day after we have a day to relax and that is a plus WAHOO!!

Well Happy 4Th of July everyone =)

Father's Day

2009-06-23T21:13:00.006-06:00

I know that this is a bit late, but I couldn't post it until after Father's Day due to the fact that Zach's Father's Day gift were the pictures that I am posting with this. I had Sarah's pictures taken for his gift, so that he could show her off whenever he wanted and not just on his phone. But if you read my last post about the goose egg, we were lucky that we got the pictures done in the morning and she got the goose egg that night....yeah I was lucky. But it would have been cute either way. But here are a couple of pictures to share.

Goose EGG!!!

2009-06-13T21:48:00.003-06:00

So our little Sarah was turning around and she lost her footing and well she fell right into the side table YUP she got the corner. She does fall a lot and she gets over it really quick...I mean she cries for maybe a couple of seconds. Well after she got done snuggling with me she looked up at me and here was this big "Goose EGG" it was terrible. It made me feel so bad...:(
Yeah I remember those days when I would fall and have these types of bumps and bruises. Well at least she hasn't had to get stitches yet...knock on wood. :)

Our Goofball

2009-06-03T13:45:00.007-06:00

Okay so on Monday Zach picked up Sarah from the babysitter and took her home to feed her and all that jazz. I was in a training class that I was teaching until 6 p.m. So right after I got done teaching my section he sent these pictures to me. The very last one that is on here I tried to hard not to laugh, but I couldn't keep it in at all and everyone there asked me what was so funny. Well when you see your daughter with a big grin on her face and her finger knuckle deep in her nose, I don't think anyone could have kept a strait face with that one.

She is actually enjoying her dinner here, she loves fruit, so she eats a lot of them. I hope that like sticks around for a long time. :)

I just love her smile...and it was probably so hard for Zach to get this picture because she doesn't sit still for very long at all. She likes to move her head around and so you can never get a picture that isn't blurry...

Okay here we go...yup her finger in her nose. She is such a goofball! Sometimes when I turn around she will have her finger up her nose. I think for some reason she likes to do it because me and Zach both jump to tell her don't do that it is icky. But either way we love her :), hopefully it is just a phase that she is going through???

Birthdays

2009-05-26T20:56:00.003-06:00

Well May 25th is a busy day for birthdays at our house. It is not only Zach's birthday but it is also my sister Mica's birthday and Sean-Michael's birthday. So it sometimes can be bit hectic but I want to spend time with all of them. They are some of the most important people in my life. My life long best friend Mica and my more recent best friend Zach. So sometimes my day is a bit torn, but we were able to work it out this year as Zach is working graves he had to work Sunday night/Monday morning. So that left me some time in the morning to go and hang out with Mica and then we came home and spent the rest of the day with Zach. We do wish we could see Sean-Michael, however, that is not possible at this time. So I hope he knows that we wish him a Happy Birthday as well. I was really glad that I was able to get to be with the both Zach and Mica. So Happy Birthday Zach and Mica :)!!! So I was going to add pictures to this, but since I am not using my own computer I don't have the pictures I want to put on here...so next time :) Loves Tai

Just Bummed

2009-05-21T15:21:00.002-06:00

Well I guess I am just being really bummed out today, not exactly sure as to why. I think it has to do with the fact that it has been a non stop week for me. Sarah was sick again this weekend and that always takes a lot out of me when she is miserable and I can't figure out how to make her fill better. However, she is doing better, but between her, work, and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off I am exhausted and could really use a mental day to get myself going again. I am not so sure when I might get that day to myself, but either way I will try and plan it and see if I actually get it....lol...Okay not going to happen buuuuuut it is always worth thinking about. I was thinking today that I wouldn't work overtime this weekend, buuuuut I have a hard time passing up overtime. Either way everyone pray that I get a day to relax or there might be some casualties...:) Nah no worries :)

Fairfield Ward Enrichment

2009-05-06T21:19:00.003-06:00

Okay so I am part of the Enrichment Committee in my ward and I was in charge of starting a blog. Well I know that some in my ward follow my own blog so I wanted to let them know that they need to check out our Enrichment blog and help me out with the postings and spreading the word. So I am asking for some HELP ladies.

New Orleans

2009-05-03T12:40:00.005-06:00

Well I wen to New Orleans a couple weeks back for work training. I had a real good time there. We stayed mostly to the city so I didn't see much of the damage that was caused by the Hurricane, but either way it was interesting. We stayed in a hotel right down town on Canal and Bourban so we got to hear a lot of loud music while there. The weekend before was Jazz Fest and so was the weekend we were leaving so a lot of people were there during the week and still having a blast. We were in training all day until 5pm most days so after that we were able to go sight seeing. Of course down town everything closed by 5pm or 6pm. So we had to save a lot of our sight seeing and shopping for the last day when we got out of training early. So we hit the flea market and all. While there I tried a lot of different foods...yes things that I have never had. The first night there I had a platter full of different fried foods, including fried crab, oysters, catfish, shrimp, craw fish tails, crab cake, and corn fitters. It was sooooo good, yes I even enjoyed the shrimp which I usually don't like at all. I also tried alligator and that was very tasty. There were a couple of things we were also told to try and they were good as well, Beignet's as well as Muffalta's both tasty. Well I of course can't go without showing some pictures. So enjoy.....
Me and Camille on the fairy crossing the Mississippi.
One of the cruise boats that goes out nightly for a dinner and cruise on the Mississippi(didn't do that one this time.)
Me, Ellen, and Camille with our balloon hats. Some random guy on Bourban stopped us and made these for us, of course afterwords he wanted money from us for making them...blah but they were fun so we couldn't resist.
Cathedral located by Jackson Square it was really beautiful`
Me and Camille with some Jazz man's statues at Cafe Beignet.
This was about the coolest thing ever, I had never seen Moslem's so it was really cool to check them out. Everyone in New Orleans is buried in these above ground because of the water levels that can come through. This is one of the most popular cemeteries in New Orleans. We took a trolley down to it and got some fabulous pictures.

"Joy"

2009-04-27T14:15:00.002-06:00

So I really like this picture so I thought I would share it with you all...If you want to check out more from this artist you can visit his website http://www.bowman-art.com/

"Joy"

Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is full. 3 Nephi 17:20 "This is one of my favorite moments in the Book of Mormon. After stating this, Jesus simply spends some time blessing and interacting with the children, while angels descend out of heaven. In this piece, I wanted to depict our Savior in that moment of "full joy". I see Him smiling and laughing spontaneously, filled with so much love for those young people, to the point of weeping for joy (as it mentions in the record He did). If its human nature to manifest feelings of joy and love in that way... then I have to believe that would especially be the case for the One who is the embodiment of every good and righteous instinct of human nature."~Dave Bowman~

Sarah's first Easter :)

2009-04-19T16:28:00.005-06:00

Well it was Sarah's first Easter that she was able to go to Easter egg hunt and actually have fun. Last year at this time she was only 5 weeks old and we didn't really leave the house much. But she had a lot of fun and she clung mostly to Dad during the whole time. We also took pictures of her on Sunday with some eggs...enjoy.

So The eggs at the hunt were of course plastic with plenty of jelly beans and other candy. However, we colored eggs on Saturday night and she got to play with the real ones and of course she tried to eat them so when we were done taking pictures her lips were yellow...lol

Our Temple Day

2009-04-04T21:52:00.009-06:00

April 1, 2009
This was our big day it turned out to be just perfect. I was crying even before we even got to the sealing room. I couldn't hold it in at all, but that is just fine because I think everyone else was crying as well. I know that when Sarah was brought in they sure started to at least. She was so darn beautiful it took my breath away when I saw her.
As you can see for yourself she did look very beautiful. I just know that this day will always be a special one to remember. We had many friends and family there to share in our special day and that was wonderful. I know that some were not able to make it to the Sealing and we sure did miss them. However, we know in our hearts that they were there with us.

When I sat down next to my Mom in the sealing room she said that there were many there with us that we could not see and that was so true. I know that Zach and I both felt that was true and that we felt them there. I hope that all that were there know how much we appreciate them and are grateful that they were there to support us on our BIG day!

I don't have the words to explain the emotions in my heart about this day. I am so grateful that we were able to be sealed as a family. I know that everything was in God's time and at his will and it has been a hard path to follow, but a well worn path that others have followed as well. I am grateful for those who have gone before me and have been an example to me and my family.

Again thank you to all that have been with us in this journey and I hope that we may see many more exciting days like these. Loves from Zach, Tai, & Sarah. :)

Temple Time

2009-03-25T20:24:00.004-06:00

So here is our big news for this month. We are going to be sealed in the Logan Temple on April 1, 2009 at 4:00 pm. Yes I know we are really excited. It has been a rough month and it hasn't been easy at all. I know that Satan has been working extra hard on us this month. I keep thinking that it can't come soon enough. But I know that it will happen, we may have a fight or two more before then, but it will happen. I know you can see me with a big SMILE right now. Zach will be having his endowment's out on Tuesday night at the Ogden Temple and we are hoping that everyone that can will be able to come to that session. It will be the 6:15 pm session on Tuesday March 31st. I know that we are going to have family there and we would love for our friends to join us at the endowment, since we have limited space in the sealing. :) Loves all!! Keep us in your prayers the next week, I know we sure need them to help us through this next week.

Sarah's first BIRTHDAY

2009-03-08T20:14:00.005-06:00

So these are some pictures of Sarah's 1st birthday. Since she was born on February 29th we celebrated her birthday on February 28th and March 1st this year. So we got to have cake two days in a row!!!WAHOO!!! It was just the 3 of us this year maybe next year we will have everyone over. But it turned out to be a great day! Thanks for everyone who called to wish Sarah a happy birthday. Loves!!!

Catching UP

2009-02-27T22:16:00.009-07:00

Still missing my Dad 6 years later...Richard Clyde Gibson December 1, 1943 - February 27, 2003. This picture is from his funeral. I am sad to say I don't have any pictures saved on my computer of my Dad they are all hanging up in my home. But I still love him all the same and I still miss him as well. He will be my "Papa Bear" FOREVER!!

Okay so I know that I haven't been on here for a very long time. However, I have had good reason not to be very active on my computer. I have been very busy with both work and my little Sarah. She is so funny, I was just finishing up dinner when I looked back at Sarah in her highchair and this is how she was sitting. I was cracking up, she was just kicking back...chillin...I told Zach to get the camera and get some pictures.
So our little miss Sarah Claire is going to be a year old this weekend. Since she was born on February 29th we are going to be celebrating her birthday this year tomorrow February 28th. So even though we are celebrating her first birthday she isn't really 1...lol...Yeah yeah we will get to choose when she celebrates her birthday for a very long time. Well until she is old enough to decide when she wants to celebrate her birthday. I know that everyone has the moments when they look back and think where has the past year gone? Well I am thinking that right now and it is very strange how time flies. The past couple of days I have just been thinking about everything that has happened in the past year and it is unbelievable. I know that Sarah has been a blessing in our lives and I am so excited to continue the journey of being her Mom!!
I remember when I was a kid when we would take a bath my Mom would style our hair in a crazy fashion when she was washing it. So now whenever I give Sarah a bath I like to do something crazy when I am washing her hair. I have Zach take a picture every now and again. Well this one was a keeper...I just love her smile and you can see her all her teeth. She is getting another one...oh my she doesn't sleep all to well when she has a tooth about to break through. Last but not least our Sarah asleep. I know everyone has had these pictures of their kids in odd sleeping positions...but ya know I have to share mine of Sarah. I just love going in and seeing her with her little bum in the air and it just makes me smile. Just thinking about it makes me smile. Just tonight I went in there because she was making some crazy sounds and I get in there and she has gotten her face smooshed up into the corner of the crib and she is trying to move around so that she gets comfortable. Well okay that is enough of my ramblings about Sarah. Everything is going great here we just keep trucking along and getting by.

Toe Truck

2009-01-23T20:26:00.008-07:00

So this is a classic Tai thing to do...I fell down! Well I was picking up Sarah from the babysitters house and on my way out I slipped on ice on the last stair and went splat...It was so eventful, Sarah just looked at me like what just happened Mom?? Well when I fell I somehow busted up my big toe...yup once again Tai has either broken something or needs stitches. We are not sure if it is broken or just bruised really good, but it sure does feel broken and it is still swollen. But I didn't really want to go to the Instacare just to have them tell me that it was and to elevate it and put ice on it. So since I was headed to go see my sister Jennie who had just flown in from Virgina, I just got up and went on my way. My toe was bleeding all over the place and I could feel that other places were bruised up as well. I guess I grabbed Sarah's arm when I fell because she ended up with a bruise on her arm :(.

Well when I got to Mica's house we had a real good time laughing about it. The first thing Jennie said when she arrived was do you need a "Toe Truck"? Yeah it was quite funny for all of us. We did have a great time with Jennie and I am glad that we got to hang out with her. Sarah was shy with her at first, but by the time we got back from lunch she didn't want to take a nap she wanted to play with Aunt Jennie. That was really cute, of course Jennie has that kind of effect on all her nieces and nephews I think. Well I am limping around for the next few days and that should be really fun. WAHOO!!!!

Christmas Fun

2009-01-04T21:13:00.005-07:00

Well these are a bunch of pictures from Christmas. We had our frist Christmas with Sarah and it was a blast. She really like the paper and boxes. She couldn't get enough of them. We kept on having to hide them so that she would try and get to the next present. However, it was a blast and we really had a great time. I had to work on Christmas Eve so we just stayed home and relaxed most of the night. We did venture out and went to see the lights at the Layton Park. We bundled Sarah up and got the stroller out and only lasted but a short time. It was way to cold to stay out there. The rest of the weekend we stayed in and enjoyed each other. It was kind of strange not going to any family parties, but it was also nice to enjoy each other and not worry about rushing around. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a Happy New Year! Loves!!!

Halloween Weekend

2008-11-07T22:25:00.007-07:00

Well we had a fun Halloween weekend. Sarah was dressed as a frog and she looked adorable that is for sure. Our ward had a trunk or treat and we went to that and it was amazing how many people were there. We went and visited Grandma Crabtree and a few other people through out the day. I added the slide show below and it has a little bit of everything on there, but it was mostly taken from Halloween weekend.

We also had another exciting thing happen Halloween weekend. Sarah was blessed by her Daddy, and he did such and awesome job. We had many friends and family come and support us and we were so happy to see them and to have them share our happiness. Some of the things that were said in Sarah's blessing were that she would be blessed with strength and courage to stand up for everything that she believes in, knowledge and the wisdom to use that knowledge, blessed with happiness and success in everything that she should choose to do in life, one day she'll find an honorable man to help strengthen her testimony and she'll be able to marry him and go through the temple, that she'll have children, blessed with a sense of humor so she can laugh no matter what, blessed with patience, with forgiveness, and knowledge that she is never alone, that Heavenly Father and Jesus are with her always. Not word for word, but those are some of the things that were said.

I was really nervous and excited all at once. I was nervous for Zach because he doesn't like to be up in front of people and those microphones are just so much fun. But I just kept a prayer in my heart and prayed that he would have the strength and courage to overcome that fear and he was amazing. I know that he had the help of our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful and proud that he was able to bless Sarah and I know that she will one day be able to thank him for such a gift. I am grateful for everyone that came especially those who drove so far. I know that isn't easy and yet they made the effort to be there for us and I am very grateful for them. Well loves to all!

Another New Day

2008-10-26T20:56:00.002-06:00

Oh my I am so glad that this weekend is done and over with. The NTEU "re-election" is over and done with and that is a relief. It was a bit stressful and I didn't really enjoy it and I am hoping that we will never have to do that ever again! So now on to more exciting things like HALLOWEEN! I am so excited that it is going to be this week. It is Sarah's first one and thank you Rindee for the very cute costume. I just need to figure out where the trunk or treat is that we have been told about at church and we should have a blast. I was able to get the whole day off. I remember when we would go to Peachtree and see Grandpa Gibson and everyone there. I still have the picture of Grandpa's last Halloween somewhere. It was on my phone for the longest time, but I have saved it somewhere and can't find it at the present moment. However, I am hoping to get by to see Grandma Crabtree, I know that will be fun. Well that is all for tonight I am getting a bit tired. So nighty night!

Busy Busy Busy

2008-10-17T20:14:00.002-06:00

Well things have been a little interesting with work things. I have been doing some new things around the IRS. I am doing some new jobs with the Union and that has been a learning experience which has been interesting. But with the things that are going on in the office and with the Union "re-election" I have been a little bit overwhelmed. Today we had General Membership and I felt really uncomfortable being there. I felt like I was being torn in two by the two sides that have been opposing sides. It was difficult because I have friends who are on both sides and I feel like they are each looking at me thinking am I siding with the other side. It was causing me anxiety and I even had an anxiety attack and it wasn't pleasant. But I got through the meeting without too much trauma. Next Saturday isn't going to much fun either, next week we have to count the ballots for the Union "re-election". I am hoping that it won't be as tense as it was today. But who knows, I guess I will just have to wait and see. But until that time I am going to try and not worry about that until next Saturday.

Our Little Girl

2008-10-13T19:40:00.004-06:00

Here are a few pictures of Sarah in the last month...She is growing really fast and we are enjoying every minute of the time we have with her. I am a little proud of her I just love watching her learn and grow each day.

Sarah ready for church and waiting for Mommy and Daddy to get going...but as always has a smile on her face.

Smile for the camera :)

My new toy that Mommy's friend gave to me...I love to bounce up and down in this thing. I get so excited to play in here...WAHOO...everyone hang on I am out of control.

Mommy let me get a hold of my dinner and well you can see that I am having so much fun playing and eating it. Well I think some got in her mouth, she was playing with it more than anything. She really liked the texture of the food, so she kept on squishing it in her hands. She got so upset when I took the spoon away from her and started crying.

I wanted to show off and do it one handed...Well I am trying to get up on my knees for the most part. Every time I try to go from sitting to crawling though I tend to do a face plant. But Mommy and Daddy helped me on my knees this time so that I could play like this.

She has a tooth that is starting to break through and she has been a little crabby today. She has been giving Daddy kisses for the past couple of days and today she finally would give Mommy one. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She has changed us for the better and I am so excited to see her grow up. Loves and kisses baby girl.

Sarah with her Grandma's

Sarah was so happy to get to hang out with Grammy Forkner. In the other photo's we got with Grammy she was either pulling on her hair or trying to snag her glasses, that is why this photo is without the glasses. We got her to look over at the camera instead of trying to grab Grammy's glasses. We also got to hang out with Uncle Drexil and Uncle Wesley, they were kind of scared to hold Sarah, but once they got her they enjoyed having her. We are so glad that they are so close, we love them so much!

Sarah with Grandma Gibson. We couldn't get Sarah to look over at us, she was wanting to play with her cousins at the condo. We were up in McCall Idaho with all of the family. Sarah had a lot of fun, she couldn't get enough of her cousin Cambree. But I think Grandma spoiled her the most and that is just fine. We like grandma's!

Thank you to both of you for the wonderful people you are! We do love you so much and appreciate all that you do for us! I don't know what we would do without either of you. Love you both!

New stuff

Well we are joining the bloggers of the world. I am going to try and keep up as much as possible. However, with everything that I have going on who knows how often I will get to post. Right now Sarah is in bed and crashed pretty early tonight, she was really tired she really didn't get a good nap today. We have had a busy weekend and so I don't blame her for crashing I am ready to do the same thing. My mom brought over the blessing dress for Sarah last night and it's absolutely beautiful. She looks so cute in it, I can't wait to get her pictures taken with her in it. I just need to find something to go in her hair! Okay well I am going to go for the night, but hopefully I will be back soon :).
