Memorial Park

We had a great time at the park Saturday evening....at 6 p.m. it was still in the high 70s and gorgeous! We took our Papa John's pizza and had a picnic. I broke out Sarah's summer clothes. Her shorts are a little big--they're supposed to be tight! I hope you enjoy this clip of Sarah mastering her walking and flying!

Making Cookies





The other day Sarah helped me make cookies and while I was cleaning up she had her hand in the bowl. She knew she was caught doing something she shouldn't, but she was too cute to punish!

Bacci Ball





A few days ago we had an impromptu barbeque with some friends. We all played bacci ball (a game Steve learned in Spain) after and had such a good time. Here are some cute pictures of Sarah while we played.

Mowing the "Back 40"

So we don't really have a "back 40", but Steve swears that it feels like it. We finally got the lawnmower fixed and Steve couldn't wait to mow the lawn. Our property line goes clear back to the brown house in the very back of this picture. When we first moved in last fall, it took Steve almost four hours to mow the entire yard! Yesterday it only took him two hours....that's why they call him Lightning Later! Sarah likes to ride on the lawnmower with Steve and she claps for him every time he gets to the top of the hill.

Sarah and I ate these gorgeous and delicious strawberries for breakfast. They were only $1.28 for one package, so I bought two! There's nothing better than fresh strawberries!

Spring is Here!

Things I Love About Spring (in no particular order):
1. Green grass

3. BBQ for dinner
4. Spending hours at the park with Sarah
5. Taking walks and not freezing my buns off
6. Fruit--strawberries, kiwi, pineapple
7. Warm weather--it's been in the 70s all week!
8. Birds chirping all day
9. Capris
10. Sandals
11. No coats
12. The smell of freshly cut grass
13. My freshly cut grass (we finally got our lawnmower fixed!)
14. Neighbors coming out of the woodwork
15. Summer break is just around the corner!
16. Tulips and daffodils
17. Sarah watching all the critters on our lawn and trees (squirrels, birds, & bunnies)

Sarah Walking....FINALLY!

Sarah has been able to walk for a couple months, but has just preferred crawling. This week she FINALLY decided that walking might be a good idea. Here's a clip of her walking. It's still a bit wobbly, but I love it!

Eating the Beaters




Yesterday I made banana bread and you would have thought Sarah had died and gone to heaven when I let her finish off the beaters. I love the middle picture...she was laughing so hard she couldn't contain herself!

Baby's On Its Way!


I had my first appointment for the new baby...everything looks fine and my official due date is October 9, 2007! Here is the first picture. So exciting!
