7 Months Old

Sarah's ability to sit up and the nice weather make for more interesting pictures.

Still no sign of teeth but that won't stop her from trying to eat everything. She loves pretty much everything we let her try and wants what what she can't have even more. She gets mad when we don't share. I was eating a bowl of cereal while she was playing on the floor and I had to hide the bowl behind me and take bites when she wasn't looking. And she whined the entire time I was eating a steak because I wouldn't share. I think she's going to be a chef when she grows up.

3 Years and Counting

Today is mine and Justin's third wedding anniversary. Feels like forever really, but that's a good thing.

What I've learned after 3 years of marriage.

1. It really doesn't matter which direction the silverware goes in the dishwasher. Our dishwasher isn't going to get them clean.
2. To someday buy or not to buy a mini-van may be our longest-running argument.
3. He said I never told him. Oh, I told him. I know I told him. I remember what he was doing, the shirt he was wearing, and what he said in reply when I told him. He doesn't remember. That's as good as not telling him.
4. Threats do work. "If you bring home an Xbox, I'll bring home a dog. And it will be a house dog."
5. Compromise also works. "Okay, you can get an Xbox if I can pick the games. And they will be lame."
6. It is what you say. And how you say it.
7. Justin can be eating cereal in his pajamas 20 minutes before church starts and still be ready before me.

Now please enjoy this trip down memory lane.

My parents were living in Alaska when Justin and I started dating. I emailed my mom this picture to tell her about him.

This is for Justin. He likes, nay, LOVES, this picture.

Just being helpful.

This is right after Justin proposed at Bridal Veil Falls. That's a pinata on the bench.

The bite Justin fed me was all frosting. It was so hard to swallow and I love frosting.

Leaving our reception. We drove around for awhile just for the attention. And because Justin loves motorcycles.

This is on our honeymoon in Las Vegas. But the real reason I post this is to point out those steaks. We still talk about how good they were.

Yay for marriage!

Squash, Beans, Slides and Swings

Sarah tried squash for the first time. She loved it.

Green beans...not so much.

And here's some park pictures. The swings are her favorite (what else can she do?). I took her down the slide even though according to the signs everywhere on the playground, I'm too old. And according to the small hole I had to go through to get on the slide, I'm also too big. But where there's a will, there's a way.

We were going so fast, we're just a blur.

Stay tuned for next week's adventure: Carrots!

The Many Faces of Sarah

Sarah just learned how to stick out her tongue which makes it the cool, new thing to do. Even her attempts make for some awesome faces.

Taking a break.....

Back to work....

Sitting-Up-ish and Other Fun Poses

We're making progress on the sitting-up thing. I think. And that's water on her shirt. She's not that slobbery.
