Sarah's room

Sarah's room is finally decorated and child proof! Here are a few pictures. (Oh, and most of these decorations are from my childhood room).

Not Much

Well, not much is happening here at our house as of late. Creed is still going at the basement and work and I am still taking care of Sarah. She is getting bigger though and she sure does talk a ton! I don't really know what she is saying half of the time, but I love listening to her. She has the question mark inflection down though and that is great fun. Since nothing much is going on I thought I would share some pictures. Here is Sarah playing the piano with mom, one of her favorite things to do Here she is teething on the piano bench, must taste mighty good! Sarah also loves to sit on our laps when we are at the computer and we have an extra keyboard that we allow her to use She also likes to "help" with the dishes!

Time

I cannot believe how fast time seems to be flying by. It seems like just yesterday that I was bringing Sarah home and now she is nine months and getting into everything! I remember when I wished that she would do something other than sleep and now I wish that she would sleep more! Life sure is funny. Well I want to thank everyone who came to girls night, it was something that I really needed and I am way excited for another girls night this Thursday with Caroline. I really do appreciate the friendships that I have and that I have been able to keep up with, it is really great to be able to talk to friends and share lifes joys and sorrows with someone outside of the situation. Well we have finally finished the last Harry Potter book and I have to say that I really enjoyed it, but I am kind of glad that it is over so that we can get back to work on the basement. The fireplace is in and most of the walls are framed. The water softener is bought and ready to be hooked up and we have bought most of the stuff to do the duct work with, so once we finish with the doctor appointments of the week we should be able to get chuggin along again. I love having health insurance. With Creed's job we had to wait 90 days so the only insurance we had was catasophic, and now we have the regular insurance and I LOVE it. But since we haven't had any in the last little while everyone is a little behind, we are starting to catch up though and that is always a plus! Well before I sign off I need to give a little shout out to Ben who is on his way to Law school in Oklahoma City, good luck and know that you will be missed!

Sarah's Corner

For all of those out there that have children I am sure that you can relate. Sarah has taken over this corner in our house. Here you can find most of her books, her chew toys (no she isn't a dog just a teething baby), her stuffed animals, all the DVD's that we own, her blanket, diapers, wipes, diaper rash medicine etc. Every night I clean it up and put everything away and yet every morning after she has been up for 30 min. everything is back out. Here is a picture of her in her corner.

Backpacking

Last weekend Creed and his brother Ben went backpacking in the Unitah mountains, on the Notch Mountain trail. They seemed to have had a blast. Here are some pictures. And sorry, I can't figure out how to get the pictures to rotate, they are correct when I add them.

Here is Creed in a meadow

Here is Creed doing something I wish he wouldn't.

Can anyone see Creed in this picture, and once again, I really don't like it when he does something dangerous!

This is Ben, sideways, sorry!

The tracks they saw, I sure hope that these belong to a big dog!

Being a boy

Boys will be boys

Yeah flowers for me! He sure is thoughtful!

Family Pictures

For those of you who read Caroline's blog, I decided that I would post three of the family photos that she took for us. Can I tell you that I love working with someone who knows us so that we can get these really awesome shots. Plus it is a lot of fun! So here are just a few. Thanks Caroline!

Lagoon Day

Yesterday we had the special treat of going to Lagoon with Creed's family. Valerie is in the "On Broadway" show that happens in the evenings and she was able to get us some really cheap tickets. We had a blast and the show was great. Sarah took one nap the whole day, but didn't really cry to much. She really loves being outside. She also really loved Lagoon-a-beach. Here are a few pictures!

I love rollercoasters and so I was really excited about going, last time Creed and I went to Lagoon was the middle of October last year and Sarah was born two weeks later. So being able to ride a roller coaster was great fun, and the new one, Wicked, is great! I am not a huge fan of the white roller coaster, a little too jerky for my tastes. Sarah did learn a new trick yesterday. We have this camelback and she watched me drink out of it and decided that she wanted to as well. Here is a picture of this new trick.

We all had a great day and by the end we were all pooped. Here is a few pictures of Sarah sleeping in her stroller.
